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.

Specs and logs:

-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've been soft locked twice so far at Temple of the Ancients, once where Cait Sith was casting a fortune on Aeris and Cloud and had to switch New Translation on in the options to get past, and second when the Temple is shrunk, the movie just stalls. Exact same issues as the guy above.

Is that a challenge?  You know how easily I can crash stuff (when I have the time, anyways)  :mrgreen:

Just wait 'til you see another Nibelheim report that was in R06d, this will do a great job getting at your nerves.

Btw, is there anywhere i can find Menu Enhancement textures in png format, for use with the texture folder? No matter what i do, i just can't get any results converting them with any TEX tool there is. I'm almost sure it's me who doesn't know how to use it properly, but would appreciate it if someone just shared those files in png format.

Hello, first of all, thank you for the awesome mod. Just finished FF7-remake and wanted to revisit the original, but with propper translation. This was exactly what I was looking for.

I mixed it with REMAKO mod, which honestly makes it look great.

I read about the "problem" (?) with 7th heaven, I hope the following is not missunderstood. I used the 2012 Square-Enix release (not 1998, not Steam) and couldn't make FF7_GameConverter_0.11.exe work, thus not being able to properly install reunion. In the end what worked for me was installing 7th heaven after a clean installation, the run 7th heave, make sure first launch gamepath configs were OK, then launched the game once without mods. This seemed to propperly reconvert the installation to the 1998 version, thus allowing for a propper install and usage of Reunion and the mods.

Then I followed the following guide to install the REMAKO mod (basically, use 7th heaven built in tool to unpack IRO files, copy them to propper paths, and also the yuv.frag file, but I'm not sure if this was actually needed as video files were playing fine).
Here's the instructions I followed.

https://steamcommunity.com/app/39140/discussions/0/2653116677226375280/

I'm gonna post instructions for 2012 Square-Enix release + Reunion + REMAKO just in case it comes in handy for someone:
1.- Install FF7 2012 Square release (I installed to c:\GAMES\FINAL FANTASY VII as suggested by REMAKO's install guide)
2.- Install 7th heaven 2.0 (I used version Setup-SeventhHeaven-v2.0.3.406.exe)
3.- Run 7th Heaven, make sure FF7 paths are correct (it should ask for them the first time you run the program, if not you can find it at Settings->General Settings)
4.- Run the game (Play->Play without mods).

At this point the 2012 should have been reconverted to 1998 version, and you should be able to run the game via FF7.exe

5.- Install Reunion R06b

If you only want Reunion, edit [root]\The_Reunion\options.ini as needed (resolution, enable mods etc.) and use FF7.exe to run the game. We'll proceed with REMAKO.

6.- Download yuv.frag and Remako HD Graphics Mod v1.0 - Complete Download from https://captrobau.blogspot.com/
7.- Decompress the Remako HD mod
8.- Create the folder [root]\The_Reunion\CUSTOM\remako\Texture
9.- Use 7th Heaven IRO tools to unpack remako's iro files
10.- Move the parent folder of the unpacked files to the remako\Texture folder. It should now contain the battle, char, field, menu, minigames and world folders.
11.- Copy the movies folder from Remako to [root]\data (this will ask to overwrite the original less quality files)
12. Edit [root]\The_Reunion\options.ini as needed (resolution, enable mods etc.). "MOD_ID = remako" is required for remako textures.
13. Copy yuv.frag to [root]\The_Reunion\Program_files (this file is needed to correctly visualize the better quality video files)

I'm not sure if Reunion's yuv.frag is better than Remako's as I've seen Reunion's has it's own yuv.frag...should I keep Reunion's yuv.frag instead?

I hope this is useful for others, I'll be waiting for R07 ^^
 
The temple issue is an original game problem [which is why new translation fixes it].  The other you mention I've not seen before.

So far it seems like a smooth and stable release.

Question: I have the 1998 pc version and installed Reunion. But I forgot to swap the old exe/config files for the 1.02 ones, though I swapped these AFTER installation, should I reinstall or can I play like this? Am I still going to benefit from all the fixes Reunion does to the exe?

Just an FYI, there's a much better texture mod out there: https://www.ff7catalog.com/threads/13454/
 
Hi folks, I've installed the mod without errors.

How can I verify BEACAUSE is working correctly? I do not see any dialogue changes, and comparing YouTube videos playing this mod has different text than I do.

LOL no thank you, his version may be better supported and is easier to install but his textures are wayyyyyy too heavy on the smoothing. COmpletely ruins the details. I'd much rather play the OG graphics than use that mod.

I'll wait for dev on Remako to pick back up since he's been dealing with a family death.

Hi guys,
excited to finally check out the R06e (first time using the mod), however I am having an issue actually getting the game up and running.

When I start the FF7 exe I get the following pop ups;
-No useful indirect path found, check APP.LOG for more information
-Failed to load shaders, check APP.LOG for more information

Here is the APP contents

The issue goes away as soon as disable Reunion, so I'm guessing it has something to do with the mod. I'm running Windows 10 via Parallels. I'm normally a Mac user so all of this Windows stuff is foreign to me, any help would be much appreciated!

Either shaders not installed - see The_Reunion\Program_Files  or not supported - which case you'll need to disable psx.post by renaming entry in options.ini
 
Hey, I'm new and trying to get The Reunion + Satsuki Backgrounds + Ninostyle models (Chibi version) working together.

I used the alternate install methods provided by each, to get them running along with Reunion. I'm experiencing some problems, however.

Issues I've noticed:
World character models are not changed to Ninostyle
Vehicles are not changed to Ninostyle
Characters such as Cid and Red XII who have no new Chibi, have strange eyes and mouths

I'm unsure if this is a compatibility error or just an error on my part? Would appreciate any support. Thank you.
 
Edit: Sorry for wall of text, I don't know why spoiler or code wont work.

Shinra HQ, Hojo's lab: (field blin67_3) if party gets into random battle in that field right after Jenova scene, there will be no battle music playing and the in-battle sfx will sound broken.

Shinra HQ: (field sinbil_1) as you enter this field, helicopter (?) noise can be heard, it goes away after touching the save point.

During the Kalm flashback game randomly freezes, a black screen appears while music still plays in the background. Replayed the flashback a few times now and it occurs every time, most likely to happen in the Nibelheim caves or in the Mako Reactor.

Also, it's odd that after discovering President Shinra's body, Tifa questions if Sephiroth wants to 'save' the promised land from Shinra. She knows he killed her father and burned down her village...why would she think he suddenly had good intentions?

First, check if they are Reunion issues or general issues.  They don't belong here if it's general.  Turn off Reunion and recheck.  Don't post reports to this thread if it's an original game issue.  Post to the bug thread.

Also, why is there an app log?  And it needs to be shortened.  Retry code tag.  I don't need it in your case - it's not a crash.

I appreciate the report and I will look into it but it needs to be in right place so I can prioritize.

This is most likely user error since I was able to get these mods working together. Although I am not using the ninostyle chibi models anymore because they are not entirely complete so it's weird to see some being chibi and some aren't.

Are you sure that Cid is a completed character by ninostyle?

To make the models compatible, create a folder called like "ninostyle" in the CUSTOM directory of the Reunion folder. Then in the options.ini set Mod_ID = ninostyle . Make sure you disable "model overhaul in the options.ini as well.
 
Hello,

First of all, thank you very much for all the work that has been done for this mod.  I just recently began playing through FF7 for the first time since it originally was released and the Reunion mod has made it such a great experience.

I have the steam version of the game and had installed R06d.  I had performed a standard installation and had enabled the new models via the Options.ini file.  Everything was working great until I visited Nibelheim for the first time via the buggy.  The game appeared to be loading a cut scene and froze when I entered Nibelheim.  Since this occurred, if I attempt to launch Final Fantasy 7 it fails to launch and gives me an alert box that states "failed to open log file".  I have tried to completely uninstall Final Fantasy 7 and the Reunion.  I do this by removing all Reunion files from the Final Fantasy installation directory in steam.  I then uninstall the game from the steam console and make sure to remove any remaining files/folders for Final Fantasy (I copied my save file to a separate location for later use). 

If I reinstall FF7 from steam, it is able to launch successfully.  If I reinstall the Reunion, the same "failed to open log file" error occurs.  If I disable the reunion via the flag at the beginning of the Options.ini file, the game will launch successfully.  I'm unsure what is causing this error and how to remove it so that I can reinstall the game with the Reunion mod successfully.  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling using both the R06d and the new R06e versions.  I have a hunch it is a simple problem to resolve, but I was unable to find any mention of it in the listed bugs or forum posts.  I did see that R06d had issues when entering Nibelheim, but did not see anyone mentioning they are experiencing the persistent error preventing the game from launching.  Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated!

1. An explanation of the bug
The game fails to launch with an error message stating "failed to open log file" when Reunion is installed/enabled.
2. Does the bug happen at same point more than once?
This initially occurred when visiting Nibelheim for the first time with Reunion R06d.  The error occurs whenever relaunching the game.
3. App.log (found in root folder)
No App.log file exists in the root folder but does exist in C:\Users\<User Profile>\Documents\Square Enix\FINAL FANTASY VII Steam.  File was empty.
4. Reunion.log (found in The_Reunion folder)
See google drive link.
5. crash.dmp (found in root folder)
Does not exist in the root folder
6. Your save file from just before the crash or hang
See google drive link.
7. Audio.log (found in The_Reunion folder)
Not an audio issue.  File was empty.
8. Your CPU spec
Intel Core i7-8750H CPU @ 2.20GHz
9. Your operating system
Windows 10 Home 64-bit

Hi again everyone,

So, I've tried to find any cause of the error I'm experiencing in forum posts and the database files for Reunion, but I've not come across the problem.  I suspect it is user error of some sort.  To perform a clean uninstall and reinstall of FF7/Reunion R06e, I have been deleting the Reunion folder from my FF7 directory (nested within steam folders), performing an uninstall on FF7 from steam, navigating to the FF7 directory and completely removing it and any remaining folders/files, and removing the Square Enix folder that installing FF7 places in my documents folder.  I then reinstall from steam and apply the Reunion R06e executable pointing it to my steam installation directory for FF7.  If the reunion is enabled, I'm unable to launch Final Fantasy 7 from the launcher and get the failed to open log error.

Would anyone know if there are any additional steps that need to be taken to get a true clean uninstall/reinstall of the game? I'm wondering if there are additional configuration files that need to be removed and/or possibly registry keys created by the mod?  If there's a better resource for me to go to and this is the wrong place for this post, please feel free to point me in the right direction.

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply.

No, Cid isn't completed, however his default model now has a distorted face.

When unpacked the ninostyle models have a file structure that ends up giving you a .lgp file. I'm not sure how I should place these in the CUSTOM directory.

Any tips?
