Black Screen at in-game Menu
« on: 2013-07-24 19:33:21 »
Hello, thanks for all the years of hard work on these modifications.

I'm a new Steam FF7 user. I've done the installations and I am able to begin a new game and fight the first battle.

I get a black screen when opening the in game menu, as well as after the first battle a black screen appears instead of the xp/gil menu.

I'm running on a Intel i5, GTX 560ti, Windows 7 64bit, 8gb RAM

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your reply.

Yes I installed the steam version of FF7 in a non system directory, then ran the bootleg installation successfully. I can begin a new game but I just cannot open the in game menu :(

I think this stuff is happening because of the New-to-Old patch in bootleg, it was made before STEAM release. Need to use Kompass63's Game Converter to keep this from happening maybe. Kompass has configured his specifically to accommodate STEAM ff7.

Please read the entire post about installing and UNinstalling a STEAM ff7 build HERE. Links to the tools you need are in that post.

It's always files that have 4 versions for different languages, here the menu lgp file is being called incorrectly by the application process.
