Hey EQ2Alyza, thanks for the reply!
You can't launch ff7_bc.exe without the Beacause option enabled in "The Reunion - Menu Overhaul and Beacause." They both coincide. If one or the other isn't used, the UI will be misaligned. Reason being is because the box width and height are realigned based upon the new text changes from Beacause.
I am aware of this, which is why I switched back to the "default" FF7.exe in the settings after Deactivating and Uninstalling BOTH MO and Beacause. The issue is that the default FF7.exe won't launch, not the FF7_bc.exe. If I reinstall the mods and launch FF7_bc.exe again, everything is fine, but I'm trying to go back to the default UI configuration but keep all of the other mods.
If I launch FF7.exe manually, the game launches fine but without any mods, obviously. The freeze up happens only in 7H when I click Launch game, and am pointing towards the "default" FF7.exe (AFTER Deactivating BOTH MO and Beacause).
I hope this is a bit clearer now. Thanks for the help!
PS:
After some more testing, it appears that MO is causing this issue. When I Deactivate and Uninstall both of the mods, but then later reinstall them, the Menu Overhaul box is automatically selected. My guess so far is that MO is not properly removing itself when I click on Deactivate. Also, Deactivating only Because and launching with ff7_mo.exe has no issues, so I'm leaning towards MO being the problem.
Hope that helps!
