Hello. I bought the FF7 game on steam and I'm fairly new to modding. Please bare with me as I have little technical knowledge
Not sure if I'm just missing something but when I play the game via 7th heaven (both with and without mods) it is able to launch but it gets stuck in this loop. Here's a screenshot:
https://ibb.co/1TfWyfX I also can't click on the screen or use the keyboard to skip. It goes from 'Square Enix' - 'EIDOS' - 'Square Soft' - 'the pic I shared' then it becomes a loop.
but when I play via steam (square enix launcher) everything works fine and I can immediately go to the 'New Game or Continue' screen.
The mods I have in 7th Heaven are Remako and some stuff by qhimm catalog. Remako seems to work even if I use the Square Enix launcher.
My "Paths" looks like this:
FF7 C:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY VII\ff7.exe
Movies: C:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY VII\data\movies
Textures: c:\ff7\mods\Textures
Library: c:\ff7\mods\7th Heaven
Then the log looks like this:### Launching Final Fantasy VII ###

I apologize if this question has been asked before, but I can't seem to find any thread regarding the loop problem.
Would really appreciate it if someone could help me out. I'm pretty sure I followed the instructions from the 7th Heaven installation tutorial, so I'm not sure why this is happening.
Thank you so much!
