Hey guys! Decided to go thourgh FF7 and heard about this awesome mod but can't make it work. Here are some details:
I run on Windows 8@64. My game is on steam. I put the patch directly on the steams/FF7 folder. My steam games are all relocated on a non-system hard drive.
I followed all the step on the tutorial, didn't get any error message but when I was launching the game, I'd get a black screen followed by a windows error box that forces me to close the game.
I chose my sound driver, I'm launching through FF7BootLoader and specified via the Nvdia control panel to not use the integrated graphic but the high performance ones.
Here was my applog:

That's it. The windows error box was saying this (sorry for the french, my OS is in French):

So i figured something was wrong with ff7_opengl.fgd. I did my research, and followed this tutorial to try solve the problem :
