7th Heaven / 7H working great, then failing to launch game days later
« on: 2015-12-24 04:51:11 »
hey, thanks again for all the work and help on this! hopefully i am putting this question in the right place.
so, my original message from the FAQ board, tweaked a bit for formatting and length.
after 2-3 days of problem-free modded ff7, 7th heaven no longer launches the game! i can launch 7th heaven, de/activate mods, etc, normal as before. when i click to launch the game, i get the normal few seconds of loading, black screen appearing to display the game full screen, the familiar beep that i always heard just before showing the square-enix title card, then it snaps right back from black screen to the file explorer window i was just on previously. nothing further appears to be loading at that point, and it all lasts about 3 seconds.
i can still launch and play the normal game through steam.
within 7th heaven, i deactivated one mod at a time and attempted to launch the game after each, with no success.
i didn't see any previous post that hit this, so i'm sorry if this is a repeat issue that has been solved and i missed the solution somewhere!
also, don't know if this is a red herring or not, but i did encounter one other issue while playing that prompted a hard restart of my laptop just before this more serious issue started happening. i was going through the mythril cave (just after chocobo-ing through the marshy area), finished chatting up the turks, and then went through the exit to the world map when the transition screen went black and stayed that way. curiously, the world map music was playing but nothing else was responsive. i could not even ctrl+alt+del out of it.
however, i was able to load up again and play right after this (i never went through that exit again, just did everything up to that piont and went back out the entrance and saved on the world map there so avoid possible hassle if the crash happened again), so i'm not sure if this is relevant.
thanks again for this mod! hope to be able to play it again soon
