7th Heaven / Error at Mt Nibel Enemy Encounter

« on: 2019-05-05 11:20:27 »

My game is somehow crashing when I get an encounter in Mt Nibel. The battle song plays but the screen remains black. On my second try the battle encounter worked but on the next encounter it crashed/hanged again. Any reason why this is happening?
I'm using the ff7.bc
Below is the APP.log (sorry I couldn't find a way to attach the file)

7th Heaven / Postprocessing Initialization Failed... and other

« on: 2019-04-26 14:12:08 »

Hi everyone,
This is my second attempt in modding FF7.

I installed FF7 from steam, into D:\Games\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY VII and I managed to get Game Converter to work.
I first started using 7th Heaven v1.54 but I couldn't get the game to start, giving me a long ERROR5 something. I found a v1.52 and I got the game to start up but with issues.

So upon starting the game I get an error saying  Postprocessing initialization failed, check APP.LOG for more information, then the game starts.
The mods seem to work, apart from the field background (looking terribly ugly, stretched and pixelated) and the music for some reason isn't playing (that's until Cloud goes into the first battle with two soldiers). The music might have stopped because I skipped the cut-scene.

My Rig

Let me know if I can provide more info, I'd love to get this game running.
Many thanks!

7th Heaven / Screen Resolution Issues With 7th Heaven

« on: 2018-03-14 13:25:45 »

Hey everyone,

I installed the 7th Heaven mod and followed all the steps. However every time I go on full screen the game is zoomed in, no matter what I do with the settings it won't change.

Here's the FF7OpenGL:
