Black Screen When Starting

[Ozaki]

When trying to load/start a new game it goes to a black screen for an extended period of time, then will finally fade in after some time passes. When it does come on, there is no music. Not sure where to troubleshoot from here. It worked without issues on my older (crappier) PC before it bit the dust.

I'm starting with a fresh install from the PC98 CDs as I got an error about missing registry keys when I tried to run the files from my old PC. New install, ran the conversion, set up everything in 7th Heaven and had it redownload all of the mods, change the load order to the recommended, and then this. I've repeated this process twice with the same result so it's time to try something else.

Running this on Win 7, dual Xeon X5670, Quadro 6000, 36GB RAM so it can't be for lack of hardware.

Any help is appreciated.

[UpRisen]

what exe is your workshop-settings file path pointing too? In ff7_opengl.cfg is direct mode on or off?

[Ozaki]

It is pointing to ff7_bc.exe. Direct mode is on.

[EQ2Alyza]

Direct mode isn't needed for music. Only for models

Do you have music typed in correctly in the Extra Folders section?

[Ozaki]

I'm pretty sure I did...
