MO won't install on Steam if Steam option is selected. I am not sure what it would take for the option dialogues to be specifically ruined. Likely some issue with touphScript encoding.... or some other issue with the files. Either way, there is something the user has done wrong. If this was an issue from my side, this would have come up a dozen times already.
I am guessing that Beacause hasn't installed at all really... and that the dialogue boxes are not the only issue.
It did install and all the text in the game is updated; the item and materia descriptions, the dialogue, and all the menus work fine. I got up to meeting Aerith and that's when the problem first showed up; I can move the cursor and make a selection, but all you see is an empty box like in the image I uploaded.
I used black chocobo to skip to a variety of places and test it in other parts of the game, like in the Chocobo farm where Grean asks if I'm crossing the marshes and mentions the Midgardsormr, and in the flashback in Niblheim where you can get the 'slightly stretched underwear'... everything works except I just can't *see* the dialogue options. It's playable but very frustrating like this >_<
That was the steam version, now I tried it on the 98 version today and I got the *exact* same problem! It isn't modded either (an accurate translation is the only mod I'm really interested in at the moment), these are the original CDs I bought at a pawn shop. Is the Menu overhaul a requirement for Beacause? I'm quite certain that none of my antivirus software is blocking anything, and I tried running as admin as well. .. I can't understand this :c
