Saves can never glitch because of models. As a matter of fact, all of the modders use saves to test their models.

You should NOT install Bootleg over anything other than a fresh install of FFVII.

The exact mechanics is, to sum up, the fact that some files are copied, some are not, some behind-the-scene stuff happens and it could totally screw up your game if the install is not only fresh.

Support for other languages, also, is on our to-do list since a very long time, but is not ready yet.

I installed FF7 on a non-system folder and it finally worked!! After 14 failed attempts. Thanks so much guys.

Phoenix Rejuvenation Project Field models (+flickering materia fix +transparent faces fix) is there a working download link for this i cant seem to find it anywhere? i mainly need the materia fix and the face thing

P.S. TY to everyone who made this game even more awesome

Everything is included either in the Remix or the Bootleg archive for what you named. You don't need to download that.

So i had to reformat my computer and i reinstalled ffvii and ran BFE as an administrator. I looked in other threads and saw no clear answer, but for some reason I get no music at all (using FF7music, bootleg mix). I can hear other normal sounds in the game, just not the music. Has anyone else had this issue?

Edit: Whoops, saw a troubleshooting thread for this topic...feel free to ignore.

Is there a working link to download the bootleg installer or download the remix everyone I've tried doesn't wanna work for me?

jdove · « **Reply #631 on:** 2012-01-12 12:40:42 »

never mind i thought the google page was a dead link i made a google account and it let me download it sorry to bother you guys with that

Is there any way to reduce lag on this game? I heard that if you install lower quality cutscenes and field textures, it will run faster. How can you increase the game to a decent speed but keep cutscenes hq?

Vgr · « **Reply #633 on:** 2012-01-12 21:19:49 »

Yes, but since the game was not meant to handle all this. There is also a FAQ section in the readme.

Hi i've been adding mods to FF7 for a few days now and i found the Bootleg Installer, So i deleted and re-installed my FF7 and Downloaded all the Mods in the RED that i needed for the program and then Ran Bootlegger. When that finished I ran FF7 and It gave me "Failed to load shaders, check APP.LOG for more information" Then it continued to the start up logos and then it gave me "Oops! Something very bad happened" and here is the APP.LOG File
Sorry if i did something obviously wrong haha

This? None of my files have LOG after them But the APP file was easy to find

Your video card doesn't support the shaders.
Disable shaders in the ff7_opengl.cfg file located in the game folder.
Open ff7_opengl.cfg in a text editor like Notepad.
Make this change:
use_shaders = no

PitBrat · « **Reply #638 on:** 2012-01-13 01:29:39 »

DarkCloud13,
You can significantly increase performance by enabling PBO in the ff7_opengl.cfg file.

Use a text editor such as Notepad to open the file ff7_opengl.cfg located in the game folder.
Make this change:
use_pbo = yes

Ghostt · « **Reply #639 on:** 2012-01-13 01:37:25 »

That fixed that problem But i still get the Oops Error, and then for like a minute the screens black and it says the Send or Dont send option and crashes

Revert to an older version of Aali's mpeg driver by copying this file from out of the archive and replacing the file in the plugins folder in the game folder.
plugins\ffmpeg_movies.fgp

ff7_opengl-0.7.8b.zip Aali OpenGL Driver FILE

See if running FF7 in compatibility mode helps.
Try running FF7 in compatibility mode. These are the most compatible setting.
Right click on ff7.exe in the game folder.
Select Properties.
Go to the Compatibility tab.
Tick 'Run this program in compatibility mode for.'
Set the drop down list to 'Windows 98/Windows Me.'
Tick all the boxes under Settings:
Run in 256 colors
Run in 640x480 screen resolution
Disable visual themes
Disable desktop composition
Disable display scaling on high DPI settings
Tick 'Run this program as an administrator.'

Now open FF7_OpenGL.cfg in notepad (or use the configure option in BootLoader).
Set the game resolution to 1280x960:
window_size_x = 1280
window_size_y = 960
Turn off fullscreen:
fullscreen = no
Disable shaders:
use_shaders = no
Disable transparence:
fancy_transparency = off
transparent_dialogs = off
Disable compression:
compre ss_textures = no
Disable PBO:
use_pbo = no

Install FF7 to a non system folder such as 'C:\Games' especially when using Vista or an old version of Windows 7.
Make sure that you install Bootleg on a fresh maximum installation of the official US 3 CD-Rom version of Final Fantasy VII.

Thank you my game works perfect now! i figured it had to do with crappy computer haha ill have to get a new one and go all the way with the graphics on it.

jdove · « **Reply #642 on:** 2012-01-14 14:54:58 »

i dont know if anyone else has had this problem with 0036 but when i install all modes for difficulty mods it loads the wrong battles for bosses some times also has completely crashed on me in battle ex on the rufus fight it loaded a tank enemy instead of rufus and it loaded the rufus fight after the end of the motorcycle part
also loaded 2 funguar type mobs once at the 1st battle instead of the 2 guards once

Open the scene.bin with Proud Clod then hit File > Create SCENE.BIN and select yes twice. If it doesn't fix your issue (and if you can only hit Yes once) then post again here.

DarkCloud13 · « **Reply #644 on:** 2012-01-14 16:19:37 »

The first time the game worked perfectly. But the second time, it just freezes at the menu screen. I can't select continue or new game.

Vgr · « **Reply #645 on:** 2012-01-14 16:20:10 »

What do you mean by first or second time?

PitBrat · « **Reply #646 on:** 2012-01-15 00:47:19 »

Jdove,
Install Final Fantasy VII to a non-system folder like 'D:\Games\FF7' to prevent privilege errors and missing mods and then run Bootleg.
If you install FF7 to 'Program Files' on some systems mods and files are lost in the virtual store.

Many of the problems with installing Bootleg are remedied simply by installing FF7 to a non-system folder.

jdove · « **Reply #647 on:** 2012-01-15 03:06:03 »

my install directory was F:\Square reinstalling w/o the hardcore mode fixed my problem thanks for the reply btw ur program rocks

PitBrat · « **Reply #648 on:** 2012-01-15 12:03:09 »

JDove,
Can you please post these two lines from your Bootleg.log file. They'll look a little different because they outline the options you selected when installing Bootleg.
INFO: Bootleg Options: /C4 /S1 /P1 /R1 /O1 /N1 /A1 /V1 /H0 /L5 /M9 /K1 /E4 /T1 /Z4 /B0 /J0 /U1 /W4 /Y1 /Q3 /G1
INFO: Brat Code: /@11110401010011100001

With that info, I'll recreate your installation and check for some install error that is mismatching the kernels.

jdove · « **Reply #649 on:** 2012-01-15 14:29:38 »

i already uninstalled and reinstalled it but when i get some time ill try to recreate the problem and send you the details
