I have the Steam version of FF VII, so I first applied the FFconverter, then installed (as an administrator) The Reunion mod.

Reunion works natively and directly with the Steam release of FF7. DO NOT apply any converter. Install Reunion directly into the Steam installation of FF7.

To correct your current situation, Uninstall and delete the game folder, then re-install from Steam, then install Reunion.

Disclaimer: I own the 1998 CD release, so this is not first-hand knowledge.
 
if this issue is always by steam version then clearly it is indeed hooking  some control onto it which is breaking thw game.   fortunately we can rule that out.  download 1998 1.02 executable.  it was a released patch.  place in root folder and use that instead of steam launcher.  then we'll know.  if anyone is up for testing this but doesn't know how, message me on discord
 
I uninstalled the game and deleted everything, reinstalled it, and then reinstalled The Reunion. The game shows with upgraded graphics and models, but it only shows the game in a 640x480 window. I tried to modify this by editing the Options.ini of The Reunion by saying yes to fullscreen. But, when I go to fullscreen, it puts the entire screen in 640x480, and the game is minized, you can hear the intro of Eidos for a few seconds, then it stops. If I close the game from the quicklaunch bar, the desktop returns to 1920 x 1080. Anything else I can try?

make sure these settings in options.ini are identical to this:

full_screen = y
window_x = 0
window_y = 0
window_width = 1920
window_height = 1080
preserve_aspect = y

I did this, and the flickering help window still appears.
 
Worked perfectly! Now it works in fullscreen. One more thing: I see, is that, for example, the Cosmo Canyon backgrounds and the Cosmo Area fighting backgrounds aren't replaced. It also happens at the beginning of the game. The world textures seems to be fine. In case it helps, here are my options, I tried tweaking a little, but counld'nt solve the problem:

[OVERRIDE]
Disable_The_Reunion = n

#When using Windowed mode, the recommended resolution is 1280 * 960.
#When using Full Screen mode, the resolution will be changed to your desktop resolution.

Load_SFX_To_Memory = y
Audio_Log_Level = 4

# Weapon mod: 0 = Off / 1 = Minigame updates / 2 = Further field updates / 3 = full mod [will do nothing at this time].
# 60fps Battles mod: 0 = Off / 1 = On (no interpolation) / 2 = On (interpolated model animations).
[MAIN]

[TWEAKS]

Also, the menu doesn't look overhauled, both the battle menu and the game menu.

thats nothing that can be solved from options.ini, if you need help with mods refer to a post by kuraudo on page 220 (reunion itself doesnt update backgrounds)

and make sure you set audio_log_level to 0 instead of 4, it causes game to crash

I had this issue and after some trial and error I fixed it by setting:

Code: [Select]
Code: 
Battle_Key_Press = n
 
Hi folks. I'm here to report a 'hang', I think it's called, but first of all I just wanted to say that this mod is absolutely amazing and it's helped me re-discover my love for this wonderful game. That's why I so desperately want to find a solution to this glitch.

The glitch:
-After beating Demon Gate at the Temple of the Ancients, I get the whole scene with Cait Sith sacrificing himself. After that, the camera shows Cloud and Aerith before the temple. The camera pans up and the temple disappears - and then nothing else happens. I can still hear background sounds from the forest, but nothing works (Pressing buttons). I get no crash report.

I tried doing the sequence with the translation turned off (Like with the Nibelheim glitch), but when I do so the game 'hangs up' right after Cait Sith accepts to read Aerith her and Cloud's fortune (Right after the Demon Gate fight).

I've tried turning off every option in the config, but nothing works.

-Other questions:
I was wondering where the save files for the Reunion are? The main folder only seems to have the saves from the normal Steam version, since if I start the game with The Reunion turned off none of my saves show up until I reactivate it.

I'm asking because I really want to finish the game, and wouldn't mind switching over to the regular Steam version with these saves. But that doesn't seem to work?

EDIT: Okay, I figured out the last part - I transferred the save from the Reunion to the Steam save folder in My Documents and opened the game with the Reunion turned off. I'll see if I can then get through this section and turn the Reunion back on.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I apologize if it's been reported already but I promise I did try checking with crt + H in the reunion database! Anyways, Cloud's battle model has a miscolored right thigh (rtba), leg (rtbb), and hip (rtam) parts. Those parts look more like a aquamarine-like color while the rest of his outfit is purple.

I confirmed that the miscoloring is also present on the "hi poly" cloud model, because I tried to fix it by copying those parts over (siba, sibb, and siam).

As a quick and dirty fix I deleted those parts and the chest parts (rtan and sian), which made the clothing portion less poly but at least a matching color.
 
I did this, and the flickering help window still appears.

I was just stating what worked for me. a bit more info:
I installed Reunion r6d turned on a bunch of settings and noticed that the help bar was flashing. Turned all of them off and then 1 by 1 changed the settings to what I wanted (restarting the game in between) until I found the setting that caused the help bar to flash and that was the setting.
