I can confirm this music bug. Happened to me 5 - 6 times on a 70h playthrough, and only when I was using the speed change (select+square), never happened on normal speed. But only at R06 for now, didn't happen for R06c (but I haven't played much).
Likewise; I've once had two lots of music playing after a battle.

1. An explanation of the bug - Default Run is not working. It is set to "y" in the mod options, but off the world map Cloud only walks unless Run is held. changing Default run and changing it back have had no effect on it.
What you are missing (understandably, since it's only being hinted at rather than just coming out and telling you, God knows why) is that Default Run was removed in R06b.

Could the OP be edited to link to the hotfixes, please? It seems that would be easiest for people coming to the thread afresh.

4
And I submit the options file is for options and to be tidy - and the help file is there for help.
Yet there are some comments in the options file.

5
It doesn't matter.  The help file says
I submit that the ideal way to document the options in Options.ini is in that file, with a short comment pertaining to each option.

6
The new Options.ini seems to be rather minimally commented. For example, it is not immediately obvious what turning "QPC" in Tweaks on or off does.

So, ah, am I the only one with the original 1998 CDs? The known bug with audio in FMVs is a little vexing.

It may have been added by Tony's fix - but an original game bug exists there.  Can't be sure now. In any case, it's irrelevant.  It's listed as a bug and it's resolved.
I think it is unfortunate to have told someone who asked about it that it's not a Reunion bug; it also seems unfortunate that the fix from 2018 is now lost.

I'm also concerned that the post linked to in the Reunion database is the first version of the fix which didn't work. Obviously I don't know what actually made it into R06.

I'm at Cosmo Canyon for the first time, and after going up into the laboratory with Bugenhagen, he does his spiel. Right after he sucks the Lifestream from the Planet, it turns dark and falls into pieces. There's a split second where the camera pans outward to show the original wide view of Cloud, Bugenhagen, and your two other characters, and then the screen goes black. The music continues to play in the background, but I have no video. Uninstalling The Reunion fixed the problem.
This isn't a bug with Reunion.  Check The Reunion database. I've listed the issues with this map there. It's a coincidence that uninstalling R05 fixed it.

http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=14914.msg256066#msg256066 is this bug being reported in March 2018. (I reported it in July 2017).

In http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=14914.msg256073#msg256073 you have "heard of this issue before".

In http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=14914.msg256108#msg256108 you acknowledge it's a bug added by tonysonico.

And in http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=14914.msg256113#msg256113 you provided a fix; subsequent posts iterate towards a working fix (which unfortunately is no longer available on Google Drive).

Since it was added by tonysonico, you provided a fix but you don't fix other modders' stuff, and when I got it it could be made to happen every time if Reunion was installed and never happened if it wasn't, with no other mods (not even Anxious Heart, looking back at my notes from when I reported it), it seems like it might in fact be a bug in Reunion.

ETA: in fact, it's listed in the Reunion Database - 4th in "Reunion Bugs".

Any chance you can re-up this fix for the Cosmo Canyon FMV hang until R06 is released? I just hit that point in the game, having the same issue, and was going to report a bug but noted it was marked solved in the spreadsheet - however the given link is down...
Aha! I reported that in July '17; nice to know it was got to the bottom of eventually.

Room, yes, but that would make it visually inconsistent (it would become the only choice with a punctuation mark).
I suppose I would say that it would be the only choice with a punctuation mark because it is the only choice that has been truncated.

i'm a native British speaker

I'm pretty sure DLPB is also a native British English speaker, and your English is terrible - your posts in this thread have misspelled words, incorrect grammar, run-on sentences punctuated only with commas sprinkled at random, a general lack of capital letters, and so forth. The very expression "native British speaker" is not particularly idiomatic.

... that said, I think "Form" is a bit awkward, too. I know, not taking feedback, but is there room for "Form." making it clear "Formation" has been abbreviated?

12
I have a bunch of mods installed through 7th heaven, but I'm fairly sure This mod is the culprit.

I dunno if everyone else has the week off, but: how are you "fairly sure"? Does it happen with this mod alone, installed in the recommended fashion? If not, this mod is not the culprit.

It might be some combination of mods (you can fiddle about uninstalling half your mods, then half the remainder, etc) but as you'll see from page 1, compatibility with other mods is not a major concern for this one.


13
As for your previous issue, please make sure that is an issue with The Reunion. If it isn't, then it needs to go on the Bug Thread. One parachute issue was addressed already.

Well, it's clearly an issue introduced by installing The Reunion - the model has changed from the blocky standard Cid. Searching the Reunion Database I find AIHB "Cid - parachute", and nothing else that seems pertinent. But I don't know if that model is wrongly missing a parachute and I should report it to Kaldarasha (or if that can just be reported here), or if the Model Overhaul that's part of the Reunion uses the wrong model...

14
Not sure if there's a better thread for these model issues, but when you jump into Midgar on Disc 2, Cid appears to be too vigorous and manly to need a parachute - every other model on screen has a little backpack.

15
I've been racing Chocobos, and I've noticed if one races on the long course, a roar of white noise starts in the underwater section (which I think is intended) and continues for the rest of the race. I have been able to reproduce this on a second race; I haven't tried in an un-Reunioned FF7.

16
I made a decision a while back to have the sword out and I am definitely not changing that for the MO.

Fair enough. I trust it's still OK to report specific cases when it clips badly, and I've got a corker: at the end of disc 1, just after you-know-who dies, but before Cloud picks up her corpse, the Buster Sword on the new model clips into her stomach and then is gently stirred by the animation, as if he doesn't think she's quite dead enough.

I just did Fort Condor battle #10 (after the Temple of the Ancients) and received 3 Ether Turbos not 5 X-Potions.

I've edited this because I discover I've also missed a Turtle's Paradise flyer; clearly in messing around with savegames I just managed to miss some sidequesting, and this bug report was almost certainly in error. Sorry.

18
Thanks.

In Wutai, after you find Yuffie in a pot outside the Turtle's Paradise, one of the Shin-ra soldiers says to the Turks: "We finally found him, but we're going to need the Turks assistance." Missing apostrophe after "Turks".

Try with proper patch 1.02 and Aali's driver and let me know.  I very much doubt I'd be able to replicate.

I had time to take another look at this. Fresh install of FF7; removed existing installs first, and checked the registry afterwards, so I know I've not got some half-and-half affair whose data path points into an old install. Applied 1.02 patch and Aali's drive 0.8.1; Bugenhagen's spiel goes by without problems. Install the Reunion, black screen as before. Haven't touched Anxious Heart yet.

I did apply patch 1.02 after install and before anything else. I'm going to do a reinstall from scratch just to be sure. Also, I've got a bunch of earlier FF7 saves (pre-Reunion, perhaps even from the late 90s) on backup media and I'll check to see if any of them are in a position to try it.
You said something interesting which brings me to the question. Have you moved the movie folder to your hard drive or does it still read from the disc?
Hard drive. (Not a lot of point really since I dd-ed off the CD images long ago and mount the image files, so it would be no slower.)

21
It might be something to do with it being an old PC copy; there was a fault of some kind at that stage of the game which required the 1.02 patch to fix. As far as I know, that patch should be implemented automatically with Aali's Driver though. Just to check, the PC copy you have isn't the Ultimania edition is it?
I'm not sure what that is, but I have the original CD release - it's certainly nothing later because I bought it circa 1998.

The other thing might be a video or audio problem; certain scenes are programmed to progress once an FMV or audio track has reached a certain point. If those are messed around with, then it can cause issues.
If DLPB can't reproduce I'll try without Absolute Heart - that's the only video/audio messing around I've done.

http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~damerell/games/save01.ff7

It's the most recent save in that file, as you'd expect.

I admit I'd expect others to have reported the same issue too, and the obvious conclusion would be that I'd installed some other mod and made a mess of things - now, I say I haven't but I appreciate users are unreliable narrators. If you can't reproduce this, I'll go back to the CDs and install everything afresh again, and try again.

It may be useful to know I installed The Reunion making the following changes from the defaults presented - turn off American English, turn on all Tweaks - and I was working from an Old PC copy.

23
If clean install has no issue, it must have been something else.

Perhaps there has been a misunderstanding. By a clean install I mean FF7 without your mod, only with Aali's OpenGL driver. So the something else appears to be The Reunion.

24
In Cosmo Canyon, when Bugenhagen gives his spiel about the Lifestream, shortly after the Planet cracks, the screen goes black and stays black, although music continues to play. This happens with more than one party composition, which was the only thing I could think to try changing (tried with Tifa+Barrett, Yuffie+Aerith). I could supply a savefile if that would help. No other mods installed other than Anxious Heart.

Got past it with a clean install but it seemed worth reporting.

Additionally, with Default Run, if you walk you slip on the oil and hit the spikes in the Gi area shortly afterwards. Presumably this is just like escaping Aerith's house.

25
I fear this may be a bit of a hardy perennial already.

The Model Overhaul Cloud has the Buster Sword most of the time, where the original model typically didn't unless he was specifically flourishing it. This has caused a series of issues which if I read the Reunion Database aright are being addressed, but frankly I would prefer that he not have it whenever the original model didn't (and wouldn't it be easier than playing whack-a-mole with individual problems?)

It clips into my perception of where the scenery is constantly, and (while nothing can be done about the times he's actually waving it about) for most of the game I know he's not using the Buster Sword...
