So, I got bootleg working, and everything is working as it stands, up until Aeris/Aerith joins my team. Her entire lower half looks to be shredded. Like, the texture that is supposed to be there is transparent in some places, and opaque in others, and I cannot figure out why, or how to solve it. Help anyone? =)

I've never seen this before. There is an "Aerith All White" fix, but that doesn't seem to be your problem. Have you installed the HQ Aeris? Aeris Revival? What difficult mode did you choose?

Well, i turned error show to "on" and load my game, make some battles at the wood and get Yuifie, then head to junon, no errors so far, but when i enter junon a first error message oocure ""forgot word" counting zero", but game goes correctly, then i enter first house and srcond error message occure "something about grapfical wrong, i didn't take a screenshot, sorry".

A little question : I checked the 9999break in before installing bootleg. When I launch the bootloader, I don't check the 'Break limit 9999' case in the plugin tab configuration. Cause I don't know why, it makes the battle
menu broken between his lines.. SO does the limit 9999 broken anyway ?
And secondly, nothin to see but, no possible to keep the translation( fr for me ) by checking 'Aeris revival'. Is there a way for this ?
Thanks a lot
( Sorry for my english )

Menu Overhaul and Bootloader both have a feature to extend the 9999 limit. If you checked the box for it in the Overhaul tab of Bootleg, then it needs to be left unchecked in Bootloader, otherwise there will be alignment issues. The Bootloader option is there for those who do not install Menu Overhaul.

Yeah I've got UAC turned off as well. I am using Windows 7 Professional 64-bit

I'm sorry you are having such troubles with the Access Denied error. I searched back to page 40 of this thread, and although there are some who posted about an Access Denied error, no solutions were given that we haven't already tried. I don't think you have an APP.txt file since you can't get a Bootleg install to work. If I am wrong about that, then please post it.

Have you tried changing the compatibility mode? Set Bootleg.exe and BFE.exe to run as Windows XP (Service Pack 3) and see what happens. *crosses fingers*

@Saintyweb

I see you are running with Intel HD Graphics, so you are probably going to experience some difficulties along the way. Here is what PitBrat has said in the past:

Quote from: PitBrat on 2012-07-02 21:25:37

Sora1995,
Yes, the crash during the Nibelheim flashback battle is a known issue with Intel graphics cards.
You may also experience a glitch which results in missing textures and black squares.
Try playing in a window at a reduced resolution.
Sometimes rebooting the computer and playing through the scene as quickly as possible works.
Never pause during battles.
Disabling the PNG textures works, but you won't have the improved graphics.
If all else fails, you can disable the textures, play through the scene and then enable the textures again.

Is the Intel video card the only GPU in your system? This crash doesn't occur on Radeon and Geforce cards with at least 512MB.

I've made improvements and repaired damaged battle models in Bootleg 0039.
I doubt it will solve this particular problem, but there's hope . . .

EDIT:
When using an INTEL HD GPU with BOOTLEG, set the Power Management setting to HIGH PERFORMANCE.
Go to control panel | Hardware & sound | power options.
There is a setting for high performance for the whole system or just the GPU.

Quote from: PitBrat on 2012-07-03 11:45:33

With the Intel HD video cards, you must disable all the textures.
Disable both PNG and LGP textures. Disable Upscaled Magic textures.
Also, in the Bootloader Configuration screen, disable PBO and Fullscreen.
Lower the game resolution to a maximum of 1280x960.

The Intel GPU's don't have enough ram to play the game with the new textures.

You can do a quick test to see if the game will run without textures by changing the mods folder.
Use the Bootloader Configuration to alter the mods folder name.
Change it to NONE. Then try to play through the flashback scene.
Once you finish the scene, you can change the mods folder back to BOOTLEG.

No luck here either

I'm sure we'll work something out! I've had a look through from 1-30 and there's another person with the error, just no one with a solution! I'm really not sure why there's no access granted $:-\$

Saintyweb · « **Reply #1833 on:** 2012-09-02 17:24:47 »

Thanks for info, Alyza!
Also, it seems i discover the sourse of the problem. I turn "on" showing Debug information and two parameters take my look:
RAM usage (485 - basic)
ext. cache size (0 - basic)
With the gameplay progress those parameters just starts to grow like mushrooms, depending on the "new" (for this load game) actions i do (looks like an spent RAM didn't release for some reason and starts to load system)
Also when parameters loaded kinda like:
RAM usage (1100)
ext. cache size (600)
Screen/battle/menu loading time extended in progression (why didn't i pay attension to this earlier, hm

)
So, when it looks like this:
RAM usage (~1500)
ext. cache size (~900)
The game starts to froze...
Tested few times.
Any idea?
P.S. Going to create a topic in "troubleshooting", to prevent many posts there and maybe there is someone who know this problem.
Thanks a lot!

I installed the HQ Aeris, and the Aeris Revival. Difficulty is unchanged, simply because I've never actually beaten FFVII and I wanted the original feel but updated graphics.

Would you like a screenshot?

Look inside your FF7 installation folder and tell me if you have a Bootloader.exe

Aikijoe · « **Reply #1838 on:** 2012-09-02 23:13:36 »

I figured out the problem I didn't set Bootleg.exe to run as admin. I got everything working now

But I do have another question... after you run the bootleg and get all your settings set, if you wanted to go back and change something like player model or map texturing would you need to run the bootleg process all over again or do a complete reinstall? Or could you just make the changes some other way?

EQ2Alyza · « **Reply #1839 on:** 2012-09-03 00:11:06 »

In most cases, you can run Bootleg again. I tend to play it safe and just reinstall everything as it only takes 10mins, but that is all dependent on the computer and your patience.

I want your computer EQ!

Anytime I do a reinstall and run bootleg, it can take up to an hour to install everything I want!

After that though. Game runs pretty nice and fast (knock on wood) hehehe

At this point guys anyone got any random suggestions at what might be causing an Access Denied error?
Full privileges, no UAC, no System Folders. Not too fussed just something to do while at Uni

PitBrat · « **Reply #1843 on:** 2012-09-03 05:17:14 »

The broken HD Aeris model is the result of a bug in the ULGP tool.
It only affects some systems. If the tool isn't updated before the next scheduled Bootleg release, I'll implement a workaround.
Unfortunately the fix adds another 10 minutes to the install time.

JowHoof,
What folder are you using for the mods?
From what folder are you running BFE.EXE and BOOTLEG.EXE?
What is the TEMP folder?
Don't use any system folders. Don't run anything from desktop or documents.

I'd be willing to take the time to fix it now, if you by any means would care to tell me the process?

I honestly don't want to have to look at shredded Aeris. Haha
