7th Heaven / "Something went wrong while downloading the 7thHeaven update"

« on: 2021-10-29 22:33:03 »

My current version of 7th Heaven is Stable v2.3.1.0

7th Heaven always has had problems installing Canary versions. It would download them, install them, 7th Heaven would restart, and it would still show I have the stable version 2.3.1.0. So I gave up.

But now the autoupdater is popping up to tell me there is a new stable version: v2.3.3

"Release Notes: Auto Updater removed, installer added
installer uses fixed version of the codebases to prevent problem with new stuff not being tested."

Well, now I'm stuck in a new, and altogether ironic predicament, for the autoupdate that is meant to remove the broken autoupdater, you guessed it, doesn't work! I try to update my stable version and everytime it says "Something went wrong while downloading the 7thHeaven update. Please try again later." So I guess I'm stuck with waiting to try again later...

Or... is there another way to update 7th Heaven, while not breaking my game & mods or forcing me to download everything again?

It sounds like you have not set your sound output up correctly. EDIT: Do you have the resize mod activated if so try turning it off still has a number of compatibility issues with other namely New Threat, also as well if you got Sega Chiefs mouth mod active is another one to try and turn off.

Yes, I had the resize mod. Will deactivate it.

Also, what is that sound output thing you talked about? Where can I setup that?

Troubleshooting / A plethora of problems

« on: 2021-10-21 22:16:36 »

I bought FF VII from Steam. Installed 7th Heaven Stable. And this is where my problems started.

1. New Threat doesn't work. Version 2.0 and 1.5 and the one included in Gameplay by Quimm Modd, they all break my game. It either crashes before the first cutscene, or before the first battle against the guards. The only version of New Threat that works is the 1.5 Vanilla (not always, only rarely). Although, then 7th Heaven tells me New Threat Vanilla has an update so I click update but it updates forever. The update never downloads and install, just stays there forever and I can't even cancel it without closing 7th Heaven.

2. I'm pretty sure Cosmo Memory also breaks something. I install it, and sometimes it works (introducing other bugs), sometimes doesn't and sound simply stops. Not even the menu sounds. When it works, some cutscenes still don't have audio. Like the reactor's explosion. You can't hear anything. Until later, after some dialogue, the audio resumes, then it goes away, then it comes back again. It's really bad. Also, the New Threat + Cosmo Memory combo seem to be kind of broken. I always, ALWAYS have a game-breaking bug whenever these two are installed.

I usually install Qhimm's models and SYW for textures and FMV. I don't know if this breaks anything, but I haven't had noticeable troubles with these, unless New Threat and Cosmo Memory are installed too.

I found that the New Threat bugs could be fixed if I installed the canary versions. So I updated FFNx to canary. It didn't fix anything. Game still broke before the first battle with New Threat.
I tried to update 7th Heaven to canary, but:

3. Everytime I try to update to canary, the game keep "updating" to Stable v2.3.1.0. ALWAYS. And then it tells me there is a new canary version (v2.3.1.101) and I hit update but it keeps updating to stable........

I uninstalled 7th Heaven, and downloaded Canary from Github. Now I have v.2.3.1.97 (not 101 as it says in Github). And every time it asks me update to the new canary version, v2.3.1.101, and then it installs Stable v2.3.1.0.

-.-

I have been, not hours, but days, trying to get these mods to work.

All I want is Qhimm's models, SYW's textures and FMV, New Threat 2.0 and Cosmo Memory. If this combo is impossible, I'd want someone to tell me, because I'm very near to getting a refund (which I'm not even sure Steam would give me, since I've had this game for more than 2 weeks, eventhough I have not progressed further than the train, because the audio was broken).

What can I do, man...

7th Heaven / Error before first battle: "Oops! Something very bad happened"

After Cloud jumps from the train and the two guards come, the game crashed before I could battle them.

Here is the FFNx.log and crash.ff7 it asked me to share.

This is my list of mods:

Also, I have this other error where I can't hear any sound effects or music once the starting menu comes. I have to close the game and launch it again and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Really have no clue how to fix it.
