7th Heaven Canary Bug Reports/Suggestion Thread


Right now 7th Heaven is being updated frequently, and bugs can pop up here and there.
We're working on pushing forward to a stable release!
For that to happen we need to get rid of as many bugs in the canary version that we can find!
Also if you have any ideas that would improve the quality of life for 7th Heaven, we'd love to hear those too!

As time goes on, this page will be updated with current known issues, and solutions that might need another kind of
fix outside of a 7th Heaven issue.

Would it be possible to add some overscan or integer scaling in a future update? I'm having a slight scaling issue not with 7th heaven or the game but with the CRT I'm using & I have it scaled about the best I can get but FF7 is still to far off screen. Most PC games & emulators I don't have this issue either cause I can scale it or what's off screen isn't important. Love the work done btw.
EDIT: I've messed around more with this so this isn't really an issue.

The enemy level booster in Gameplay Tweaks might be busted. Tried it out and used sense and there was no change.

Feature suggestions:

1A. Add Master Volume slider to Game Launcher Settings. Would be easier to change the in-game volumes all at once. This, or:

1B. Make it so that if you hold Shift while sliding any of the volume sliders, it would adjust all sliders at the same time.

2. Add a hotkey "m" to mute all in-game sounds during gameplay. This would be handy, if for example watching streams or listening other music during gameplay.

Was trying to play the game this morning, and an update came through while i was asleep.
Now whenever i try to launch the game, i get the error message "Please use the launcher 'FF7_Launcher.exe' ...".
So i tried using that launcher, but nothing happens, not even a little bit of activity in task manager. It worked 10h ago, but not now.
Anyone knows what's going on here?
Should i just wait for an update again, or should i remove 7th heaven and reinstall an older version?

Hello, I'm new to this forum but from the "7th Heaven Help" page I was redirected here to ask for help: I get the error code "YARR! Unable to continue." which I read is because the software thinks that I don't have a legit copy of the game.
The thing is that I have a steam copy and thing were working great previous the update, what can I do?
(Also tell me if  I need to attach some files or screenshots as proof)

Hello Smonimon.

I had a similar problem, maybe this works for you, too:

Ive solved it!
I had to go to Settings -> General Settings, Switch the "Paths/ FF7 Exe:" to the 7th heaven launcher, press play, get an error message, go back to "Paths/ FF7 Exe:" and switch back to "ff7_en.exe" and it worked.

Don't ask me why.

Thanks anyway for the reply. <3

The only other suggestion I could think of rn is maybe a "retro mode" that renders in 320x240 with dithering like the ps1 version.
The only reason I say this is I've tried adding dithering myself using reshade & a ps1 dither shader & it refused to allow that due to some kind of zbuffer issue? But I have used RTGI on this just to test it & that worked so idk how to fix it myself. I can force 240p with resolutions on my monitor but it's a bit of a hassle. I have to set the CRT as my main monitor to set it to downscale it to 240p
