You can't run the game at a fullscreen resolution that is different than your Windows resolution.

Go review Step 11 again. You can set your game resolution there.

I've come across a game breaking bug. I'm on floor 65 of the Shin-Ra building and after assembling the Midgar model puzzle I go to open the last box containing the next Keycard and BAM, battle! Boss music?.. aaaand, nothing. Just a black screen and a semi-frozen computer. Also, just before this I noticed that Cloud's EXP didn't go up after winning a fight on the same floor.

And now I've noticed that I get an error message:

Oops! Something very bad happened
Wrote crash.dmp tp FF7 install dir,
Please provide a copy of it along with APP.LOG when reporting this error.
Write emergency save to save/crash.ff7?

So, uh.. yeah?

@bobothehippo

Read the FAQ please.

bobothehippo · « **Reply #1979 on:** 2014-02-09 03:16:29 »

Ah, okay. Cool! So I did that but it doesn't seem to work. Do you think it's fixed, but my save state is still messed up? Will I need to load an earlier save or start all over again? Or maybe I'm not installing it correctly..?

EQ2Alyza · « **Reply #1980 on:** 2014-02-09 04:13:48 »

No, saves don't get affected by mods. You can load any save file found on the internet and it'll still crash in this case.

Let's fix this together, that way I can add it to the FAQ. Please tell me what mods you have installed. If you open BFE.exe, it should load your last selection of mods. Can you please take screenshots of every tab and post them here. If you can't post screenies, then you will need to type out everything.

It's possible there is a certain mod that is causing this issue because others and I have ran into this long ago and the FAQ was our fix. But that's not to say we just missed using another mod selection that is editing the flevel.lgp to cause this error.

The battle chest on the 65th floor is actually a part of gjoerulv's hardcore mod (and is present in Nightmare). Since hardcore is installed, your battle.lgp and/or scene.bin might be corrupted. From the looks of it one of the files was not patched at all during the installation.

You can also post the contents of your 'LastUsed.bp' file located inside the Bootleg folder, instead of screenshots (when reporting an error).

bobothehippo · « **Reply #1983 on:** 2014-02-09 06:23:21 »

Ah yes, if I turn on the hardcore difficulty the boss appears. So cool, until I can get that to not happen I'll have to grind until I can beat that hardcore boss and move on.

Vgr · « **Reply #1984 on:** 2014-02-09 13:19:22 »

This happens because the flevel.lgp file is not actually changed. I need to fix that.

EQ2Alyza · « **Reply #1985 on:** 2014-02-09 15:42:15 »

Yes, I knew it was due to the flevel.lgp, but I was predicting it to be Nightmare 7. Mode Switching is definitely the issue.

@ EQ2Alyza

did you receive my pm's?

bobothehippo · « **Reply #1987 on:** 2014-02-11 04:45:40 »

So is there no way to get around the 65th floor chest bug? I've reinstalled several times, unselected Mode Switching, and tried that UNLGP+LGP tool thing, but nothing works.

Maybe I'll just have to to level grind for a few days and try to beat that Hardcore Mode boss to continue.

EQ2Alyza · « **Reply #1988 on:** 2014-02-11 14:03:51 »

Just reinstall without Mode Switching, loot the chest, save the game, and reinstall with Mode Switching again.

FYI Mode Switching is buggy right now. We're working to fix it, but it'll take some time.

bobothehippo · « **Reply #1989 on:** 2014-02-12 05:43:27 »

I couldn't reinstall without Mode Switching for some reason, so I just selected Invinsibility in Hardcore Mode and beat the boss, then switched back to normal without Invinsibility Mode on. I'll keep it like this incase I come across this problem again later on.

Installed everything according to the instructions.

Black window pops up, nothing happens and disappears. I made sure to select a sound driver. Tried this four times now. Not sure what to do.

Here is my APP.LOG

I am stumped.

Which shader are you using when you get the black screen?

Tokoro · « **Reply #1992 on:** 2014-02-12 22:28:16 »

It appears to be doing the same thing with every shader option. Command box pops up, goes to black screen, and then the black screen disappears and nothing happens.

Kompass63 · « **Reply #1993 on:** 2014-02-13 03:45:00 »

This may have to do with the installed codecs.
I recently did the K-Lite Mega Pack 10.30 installed, so everything seems to be working.

vanshb · « **Reply #1994 on:** 2014-02-14 07:01:13 »

I'm in Disc 3 of the game when by mistake my antivirus removed multi.dll, and I'm not sure from which folder.
I did what was written in Frequently Asked Questions;
- I placed multi.dll in the 'Final Fantasy VII' folder.
- 'ff7anyCDv2.dll' in 'Dll_in' folder.
- added 'load_library=multi.dll' in 'ff7_opengl'.
But when I load my save it still says insert Disc 3. Help Please?

gravesend · « **Reply #1995 on:** 2014-02-14 08:38:55 »

When I open the game, none of the controls seem to work. I can't select Continue or New Game.

- I placed multi.dll in the 'Final Fantasy VII' folder.

There are two different versions, one of DLPB (90 kb) and one of Kranmer (4 kb).
DLPB's needs a subfolder "DLL_in" in which other DLLs are there.
Kranmers needs a subfolder "LOADR" in which other DLLs are there.
Copy missing DLLs best in both folders ...

- added 'load_library=multi.dll' in 'ff7_opengl'.

load_library = multi.dll
should it be, blank space before and after the =

The game is controlled using the NUMPAD.
If you do not have NUMPAD, install the Laptopkey patch.

vanshb · « **Reply #1997 on:** 2014-02-14 15:25:18 »

Omg it's working now! thank you so much!

bobothehippo · « **Reply #1998 on:** 2014-02-15 05:38:00 »

Okay, so now I'm really stuck with that bug. I can't beat a made-up Hardcore boss even with Invincibility on.

Are you sure there's no way to turn this off or fix this? I don't want to fight any of these new bosses. Is there some way I can disable Mode Switching or whatever else might be causing this game breaking bug?

EQ2Alyza · « **Reply #1999 on:** 2014-02-15 06:19:53 »

Reinstall everything again and don't select Mode Switching for your Difficulty Mode.
