what I see is the ff7 launch window, I hear a faint beep, then an error that goes something like oops something horrible has gone wrong.
I reinstalled the game converter and tested all the audio stuff and the test worked. I only have one mod going and its just the weapon mod. I have triple check on the config options.
I hope there is a fix for this
I used the steam version of the game and made a new dir c:/games/final fantasy 7

thanks in advance

Try setting the .exe to use your GPU in the Nvidia Control Panel.

I am not using Nvidia, I have an intel internal HD.

Have the same error on my win 10 notebook,64-bit, machine.

Check your event log and you will see probably a clr.dll error. I have to figure out what to do in that case. You might want to update your .net version.

EDIT:
I fixed it. Try this:

- Rerun the GameConverter (as admin) -> Give 7th and the appropriate ff7.exe admin rights. Try it again.
- If its not working, delete everything from 7th and install it, download the mods again and it should work.


Edit2:
It seems it depends on acivating certain mods. Describe what you have done from the beginning.
