I would post this in the thread for the reasonable difficulty patch, but it got locked because of a "no necroposting" rule that no longer exists.

This patch was pretty much as advertised for the first part of the game, but I just got to the Mythril Mines and every fight is a Bottomswell! This is supposed to be a boss found a little later in the game, and even at its original stats, let alone as augmented by this patch, is nuts for a random encounter, even in what's supposed to be a more difficult game. If nothing else it makes this area very, very tedious with long fight after long fight and party members constantly being completely shut down.

Is this intentional? I played with this patch once before, I didn't finish but I'm sure I got further than this, and I don't remember it being like this the previous time. If this is a bug, what are some likely candidates for the cause?

Does anyone know if the Windows 7 SP that came out this week changes anything that's relevant to running FF7?

I have been playing FF7 with a bunch of mods (Aali's driver, PRP, Avalanche, Reasonable Difficulty, FF7music, possibly one or two others I'm forgetting), and it worked fine until now. But tonight it's just refusing to open for me. There is no error message, it just opens and immediately closes.

I can't think of anything potentially relevant that's changed since I last successfully ran it except for routine updates, most obviously the aforementioned service pack.

(EDIT: I realized I also installed a bunch of Windows Live crap I'll probably never use anyway. But I uninstalled it and it made no difference.)

General Discussion / Fort Condor donation bug
« on: 2010-11-28 04:18:12 »
There's a bug in Fort Condor that I'm wondering if any of the available mods here fix. I searched on ' "Fort Condor" bug ' and didn't find anything relevant; I apologize if I overlooked anything. The bug is that sometimes, the man in the shack asks you to donate at least 4000 gil, even after you have already done so (4500 or 5000 in my case). I've seen at least one person report this problem besides myself, with what I assume was an unmodded game, so I'm fairly sure it wasn't introduced by any mods from here, I was just wondering if there's any fixes for it available here.

I am using the PC version with the following:
  • Official 1.02 patch
  • Aali's custom graphics driver (0.7.9b, the latest version unless there's a new one in the last few days)
  • PRP
  • Team AVALANCHE mod
  • FF7 Music program, with the remixed OST
  • Reasonable Difficulty Mod
