Viewed the square/enix forum and there are many complaints from other individuals regarding the downloaded file hanging at 15%.

Frustrating - stay tuned for an update - Im glued to the office all day today...
 
Wish I came here first, I wouldn't have bought it if I knew it was going to hang... :cry:
 
It depends what they have done.  If they have used checksum protections, the mods (esp the ff7.exe mods) will be kaput for now.

If not, at least the non ff7.exe ones have a good chance of succeeding. I am looking forward to seeing if the mods work.  Whoever gets this game can they please use a hex editor on the NEW ff7.exe file (ff7_en.exe). Change 524ec9 to 52

When you start the game the "Continue?" should now read " CRntinue"

This will tell me if there is some sort of check in place etc.
Backup the file before editing.

I just got the game.

I tried it out and it worked, it came up as Crntinue. One thing though, the line was 524ec5.
 
But you were allowed to load it up?

Think that means the exe mods are still in business!

Any differences from the original?

Loaded up just fine, had to go through the launcher but it didn't seem to care that I'd changed the exe.

There's not a whole lot of difference, it seems a lot smoother, probably because it runs at 60fps. The music is quite different though, certainly better quality than the original PC version but I'm not sure it'll be to everyone's liking. I'll get some screenshots and maybe a video if you're interested?
 
I'm assuming I'll be able to have both this and the original PC version installed at the same time? Can anyone confirm this? I'm downloading now.
 
Here's a few screenshots of the launcher, options and online profile including achievements.

First video is here:

Sorry about the video quality, seems Fraps doesn't work very well with it (or my computer is getting outdated)
 
Still the old framerates, and if they're using shaders it doesn't look like it.
 
Doesn't sound bad, but not fantastic either.

Why is there a picture of Lightning there?
 
Yeah, def old framerates. I can't believe they didn't even use the ps1 soundtrack.
 
Ah :P

They probably changed Aeris' name to Aerith too...

We'll know in bout 20 minutes


EDIT:

actually given the chievs, they probably did

Easy way to confirm the music, check this file (I think this is it, anyway):

Code: [Select]
Code: 
C:\Program Files (x86)\Square-Enix\data\music\lb2.ogg
If I'm not mistaken, this should be One-Winged Angel. Let us know if there's lyrics.
 
Playing it... first thoughts - not worth the purchase .

The team members of qhimm blow this out of the water...

More thoughts to come soon.
