[FF7PC-98/Steam] Smoother 60FPS Battles (v0.95)

So what I did was ran the 7th Heaven Game converter then ran reunion setup

 After enabling some mods including NT and changing the mod directory the game started and there really wasn't that much out of wack.

 Slash-all didn't exactly fit perfectly but the battle interface was SO smooth and beautiful!! Some screen flashes from summons like Bahumut ZERO

 My battle and field model mods wouldn't work anymore though until I switched from the original 7th heaven subscription mods to the ChaOS IROs (may not have needed any field/battle model mods anyway now that I've done a bit of reading and see those are exactly what Reunion installed)

The battle animations never seemed to run as smoothly as the youtube video on this posts first page even with only reunion installed but that may be on my end.

I don't even know what I would need to do to get these working together so this is more or less just a report. I'd be more than happy to help or test in anyway I could if this seems worthwhile or interesting to anyone.

(One thing I wanted to add that is probably pretty obvious but the re translated  dialogue was back to original with NT)

Hey! I can't use HextLaunch because of this error:

No instruction lists detected.
Please check HL_files\MyFolder1\Hext_in\

This is a bug in HextLaunch, place them in HL_files\Hext_in\ until I release new version.

Holy... Then i do it all for classic ff7 1998 (modificated) i get all process done in hext_launcher, but... Battles get soooo slooooow, it is veeeeery slow, to open battle i need to wait over 10-20 sec, and animations is veeeery low too O_O

UPD: still doing wierdo, have very fast animations lol :D

UPD2: Okey, i did it! But have troubs with Barret and Cloud first limit breaks, maybe other LB too, idk. Limits have white or random textures. Magic is missing textures too. And when battle starts I have message "GLITCH: conversed error"

UPD3: Yay! I finaly did it all :D But have a little microfreezes in battles sometimes

I'm having problems at the 4th step of the instalation, I can't install that "HextLaunch", when I download the file, it's called SMA and doesn't create a "settings.ini" when it opens up, it's just a alarm program, where can I find this "HextLaunch" there is only that post to download and I don't find any mentions of "Hext" in that "SMA' I downloaded. And no one still made a youtube tutorial on how to install this mod, so I wanted to know, I'm stuck at the 4th step. (I'm using 2012 Steam version)
 
Thanks for fixing it! I complete all the instalation steps, but my game looks kinda strange, the animations and stuff is in slow motion, but the actual battle it's still at 15 FPS, you can see that the HUD still is running bad, here is a record of the problem, I forgot to do something?


Also, the Aali's driver is necessary with the newest PC version? I heard that it already have installed in steam version.
 
Could be something to do with using the steam version.  A more complete version of this mod is included with Reunion that can be found at ff7.live
 
Thanks for the sugestion!
I installed this mod, but this mod install a bunch of other things, and my problem is that the Cloud Saving is not working, is there a way to reactivate Cloud Saving, I reinstaled everything and I lost the local file, I only have it on the cloud.

i would not trust cloud saving, personally

when installing reunion, it creates and uses its own save folder in the folder where you installed FF7 (folder called 'save')

if you are using the steam version of FF7, the save file should be located at Documents/Square Enix/Final Fantasy VII Steam/user_********

you can move saves from one location to the other and it will work fine, keep a backup though!
 
Thanks! One last thing, I noticed that none sound is playing during my game, only the FMV's play correctly, but the music and SFX doesn't play.
Here is the audio config.
[AUDIO REPLACEMENT]
Audio_Device = -1
Mute = n
Music_Vol =75
SFX_Vol =100
Mono_Output = n
Centre_Battle_SFX = n
Field_SFX_In_Battle = n
Music_Balance_Functions = n
Load_SFX_To_Memory = y
Audio_Log_Level = 4

CTRL + ALT + M is an in-game mute toggle, you accidentally turn that on?

and my centre_battle_SFX is y, you turn that off purposefully?

I tried that, I alson changed the audio device (which I don't think it's the problem since FMV's play correctly) to -2, 0, 1 and 2, but nothing changes.
I uninstalled everything without changing any settings, but the game still doesn't have SFX and music.
(If I disable the mod then everything works normally)

well then i assume you are running an hdmi cable to a monitor with speakers or a TV?

you will have to do a workaround and use another output for your audio... USB speakers, 3.5mm headphone jack, or digital optical (TOSLINK)
the problem is related to the hdmi input on the TV or monitor (or perhaps displayport as well, or any input that combines digital audio and video) even though it works fine without the mod

I tried removing my HDMI cable, use head phone and speakers, but the problem is the same.
I don't know If it would be useful, but here is the Audio.log file the mod creates, I think it may help solve this problem.

Also the Hext.log and The_Reunion.log doesn't show any error, the Audio Replacement load just fine.
 
when you plug in your headphones, did you change that to your default audio output in windows  (or whatever OS you are using) before you launched the game?

the problem is at the start of the log, its not finding your audio devices

perhaps you need to update your audio device drivers? i know old drivers sometimes cause the EAccessViolation error

How do I do that? It works just fine, but it doesn't show up as a new device.
I'm using a notebook windows 7 with Realtek High Definition Audio.
I checked the GUID from the device, but it's a giant number, not an ID like the Options.ini file shows by default, {4d36e96c-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}

that GUID should show up in the audio log, you've tried restarting the computer? also make sure you try windows update manually and download all available updates

with all the stuff you've done trying to get 60fps battles to work in FF7, you probably need to reinstall both FF7 AND reunion

if those things still dont work you need to try activating the hidden administrator account, logging on with it and trying that way, user account control can cause this

also dont forget about the drivers, go to your notebook manufacturer's website and see if there is updated drivers for anything


even if none of these work, there are several other things that can cause this, and being on windows 7 won't make this easy, possible to upgrade to win10?

Try the fixed dll in my thread https://www.ff7catalog.com/threads/13704/ (it's in known issue section) I've got the same error when r06f was released(first to report bug) and than it was fixed by daniel
