7th Heaven / Unable to Start FF7

« on: 2020-07-20 22:44:06 »

Hello,

Windows 10, non-Steam (non YARR) FF7 install, 7th Heaven v2.2.1

After some issues with the old 2.0 7th Heaven install, I uninstalled both FF7 and 7th Heaven, re-installed FF7, and installed v2.2.1 instead. This should be a clean install of both. At any rate, I got everything downloaded again and the game won't launch with mods (tested launching from 7th Heaven without mods and it worked fine).

First log always looks like this:

Apologies if this has been asked a million times. I wasn't able to find previous instances with a search. Any idea what the problem might be?
