Sorry if im posting this in the wrong section but anyway, i have a problem when i go to launch ff7 through bootloader. i have done the entire process twice and came out with the same problem both times. When i go to launch the game through bootloader the screen goes black like it is going to launch and then it disappears and i get the message "Terminates Processes has stopped working." Also when i go to launch just the game without bootloader nothing happens. Anybody having the same issue or have any idea how to fix this?
 
Did you try running the game with the safe settings?
Run Bootloader, click Configure, click Safe Settings, click Write CFG.
Now try to start the game.

What OS are you using?
Did you install to a non system folder (C:\Games\FF7)?
 
thanks for replying. im running windows 7 64 bit. i have tried safe settings with the same results, doesnt help at all. and the game is installed in my program files (x86) folder.
 
Installing the game to a system folder like .\Program Files (x86)\ or .\Program Files\ or .\Desktop\ can cause issues with DEP/UAC.
Instead, install the game to a non system folder such as .\Games\FF7\ to avoid problems.

You may want to at some point, DJ0224, to make a folder called "Games" on your Local C Drive. Inside the folder called "Games," make a folder called "FF7." You can either relocate all your files to "FF7" from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Squaresoft\Final Fantasy VII\" to "C:\Games\FF7\," but only if you are an expert at doing a reconfiguration of the different Registration Keys for the different .EXE files in the registry. Or you can do a complete new install to "C:\Games\FF7\," and then transfer certain files that you wanted from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Squaresoft\Final Fantasy VII\." I feel your pain for having to wait for the Bootleg to install, but remember, people like PitBrat and other have done you a Huge favor of making this Configurator, and they are not charging you a dime! So the wait is totally worth every second :-D

In the future, when you have a problem with the Bootleg Configurator by PitBrat, you can either leave a reply at the following web page:

or start a new topic at the Troubleshooting web page:

I know it can be tedious, but please read the rules when you get a chance. :-)

Awesome! i will definitely try that. Thank-you for the quick replies and the help. Much appreciated.
 
Just got done re-running everything. Re-installed into C:/games and kept my mods in the same place. Tried to run from bootloader but still getting the same exact message. Before i ran bootloader again i re-installed the game and tested it and it ran fine. Now it doesn't work at all. Any ideas?

I sent you a private message to asses your situation further.  8-)
 
Run the game in a window.
In Bootloader, under Configure untick Fullscreen.
Lower the resolution to something like 1280x960.
Keep the internal resolution at 640x480.

Post your APP.LOG file.
What video card are you using?
 
I got everything running just fine by launching the game through ff7music, But now when i run into a battle (the first one in the game) the game crashes. I"ll copy the error message on here in a bit.
 
Here is my App.log file.

The game isn't running in OpenGL.
The OpenGL driver isn't installed correctly.
Run FF7Config.exe as administrator and in the Graphics tab select Custom Driver for the Renderer.

When you ran Bootleg, did you have all the necessary mods?
Where any mods in the list displayed in red?
 
Custom driver is selected under ff7config.exe, and there are no mods listed in red. I actually just played for a good ten minutes. Battles were working fine but it crashed at a random encounter.
 
What do you mean normal mode? As in hardcore and whatever else? If so then yes i am playing in normal mode. And my video card is a radeon hd 6490m.
 
Was the file ff7_opengl-0.7.11b.zip present in your mods folder when you installed Bootleg?

Is the file ff7_opengl.fgd present in the game folder?

Somehow the OpenGL driver isn't installed.
You may have to install it manually.
 
Yes the ff7_opengl-0.7.11b.zip file was in my mods folder and the file ff7_opengl.fgd is in my game folder. Should i Try running bootleg over again? And if i do should i un-install and re-install the game or just run bootleg as is?
 
Hopefully you can fix this issue without reinstalling Bootleg.
When you run FF7Config.exe as administrator and go to the Graphics tab, what does it say undery Display?
Are there multiple entries in the list under Display?
If so, select your Radeon card from the list.
 
Under the graphics tab it says primary display driver. I have switchable graphics. I can switch between Intel HD 3000 and my radeon graphics. But i am currently on my radeon graphics.
