[FF7] Tutorial for Bootleg - Tifa's Bootleg

[Playtime]

Everything managed to work perfectly until I launch it, it gives me a message reading postprocessing initialization has failed.

is it possible to use xbox 360 wired controller with this? anyone got a link or can just tell me how? i googled the fuck out of this to no avail. thanks

[youthanasia138]

Xbox 360 controllers work natively with the game..... It's what I use.

[kenichi]

hey what is this? how can fix this? I am at Kalm at Clodu telling past and relationship with Sephiroth.



I am not level 95, I am level 14

If one plays a pirated copy of the game, he has to expect such weird behaviour. The game files of such a copy aren't reliable and applying mods from here over them can lead to further unexpected issues. I fear you won't find any help on here, the guys here work on the official files only and so can provide help on non-pirated game files only.
But by all means if your copy happens to be legit, please disregard my post.

EDIT: Whoo-pete-whoopsy ! Didn't see your edit about Steam before posting, I'm sorry.

[kenichi]

I am not pirate; please stop saying that. I will buy every Final Fantasy released for pc. I bought 3-4-7-8-13 and 13-2 I will buy 4 after years; but I am waiting Lightning returns released for pc. I will buy both of them. Because FF my favorite game series and FF7 my favorite game.

By the way I saw your post; just I want to say that.

[Covarr]

If one plays a pirated copy of the game, he has to expect such weird behaviour.

He has the pirate avatar because he pirated FFX. I might remove it though, since we hardly support FFX here anyway and this keeps confusing people.

[kenichi]

Actually, I dont ask pirate but then my FFX is an emu adn japanase subtitle and I did not solve this language problem so I ask about this. But it does not matter. It about many monts ago.

No idea. I've never seen that happen before. Check your APP.log and see what it reports after going there.

[kenichi]

I have two ff7 save files one files work perfectly but that different character; this I added image broken.

Never said you were one.

No problem.

Maybe the save file you were using got corrupted? Did you do something to it that you didn't do to the other one ? (Black Chocobo maybe? i don't know)

[kenichi]

I tried black chocobo but cannot fix. My other save is working perfectly.

[Playtime]

So is there no fix for the postprocessing issues?

[EQ2Alyza]

Go into the Configure settings and fiddle with the shaders. I believe there are 2 of them that work for ATI cards.

Hi everyone. Recently got into the modding experience of FF7. As of now both the bootleg and 7th Heaven work very well without crashes. However, just wanted to know if these mod support up to a certain resolution. I play in a 4k monitor of 3840x2160 resolution which the steam config supports without any problems in fullscreen. However, using any modded launcher such as bootloader, with such a high resolution only is able to fit on screen about 25% of the whole image, making it unplayable. I'll provide the app.log once I get home today, but I wanted to verify if any resolution can be accepted in fullscreen or if there is any cap at all.

I read of a similar user having the same problem in the thread with a Mac retina display but sadly, his problem didn't arrive to a written solution within the thread's posts.

Thanks in advance.

FIXED: If you customized the display scaling from 100% to probably some range above of numbers, it isn't going to scale correctly with the bootloader or 7th Heaven. Return the value to 100% and it runs full screen at 4k without any problem.

RR787, can you explain what settings you changed to make this work, and where you made these changes? I'm having the same issue...

Thanks!

I'm getting only one small issue. After installing all the mods, all my drivers, etc. everything is working great, EXCEPT, for some reason, even though I set the resolution to my monitors native res, it still seems to lower the res once the game launches and stretches it out so all I see is the top lefthand corner.

I'm actually running the Steam version on a 2013 Macbook Pro using Bootcamp with Windows 7. It's got an NVidia Geforce 720M GPU in it, so it can definitely handle the mods. However, I suspect it may have to do with the fact that my native reso is 2880 - 1800. However, I tried lowering it to similar multiples but still get the issue of my game being stretched out and unplayable. Here's my app log:

Hey did you ever fix this issue? I'm having the same problem...

Thanks!

Go to Control Panel -> Appearance and Personalization -> Display and change to 100% magnification.

Worked, thanks! Too bad everything else is tiny, but that's a small price to pay for FF7 in retina!

Hi, my names Joe.

Awesome mods!

I have an issue though, everything works perfect to me except, when i reach the second avalanche mission in the n5 reactor,  there's a part were i am supposed to press a button at the same time as tifa and barret but nothing happens, any idea what could it be? Im stuck there.

i have the original 1998 release with your presets....

thanx

[hollenjoe]

hahaha dont pay attention to my last post, im an idiot i forgot to do something first, its been a while since i last played,

[azhael503]

Hello folks!

I have an issue with my FF7 moded games. I used Bootleg with the complete Tifa's Pack on my game (FF7 Steam version) and it worked but i have a bug with the battle "interface". Life/Magic/Time bars does not look normal and that make the game verry difficult to play (see the picture below). I uninstalled the game, install it again, tryed to configure Bootleg but nothing seems to work. Do you know what am i supposed to do? I play on Windows 8.1.

EDIT: I checked the FAQ more carefully and i have found the solution to my problem, sorry. ^^"
I have another question though... When i'am on a map (not battle but in dungeons and stuff) and moving, i see a lot of little lines appearing and disappearing like some kind of aliasing and this is annoying. Do you know what to configure to make it stop?

PS: sorry for the poor english, i am french and i'm not so compfortable with english.

So I goofed and tried to change the models of the characters after already loading the bootloader, and doing everything. I uninstalled, cleaned the registry, and reinstalled, but now all the words are 1 character long and jumbled.  I searched the forums but nobody else apparently has this problems, or I can't search google or the forum right.  Here's a screenshot:

I'm going to uninstall and reinstall again.  I tried messing with every option available and none helped.  Third try.

Uninstalled, cleaned up remnants, ran registry key cleaner, ran ccleaner for kicks, rebooted, reinstalled, works fine.  Thanks anyway!  Apparently the third try is the charm.

Hello. So Game is running decently fine for me, but I have a few things I need help with:

-Weird textures for midgar, so far decently prominent at beginning of game. Makes builidings look blurry and cheap and worse than original game. Example at 6:08 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZNullRyw4c. Is there Anyway I can just change the character models of stuff and not the backrounds? I always liked the prerendered backrounds of 7, and I don't really see the point in changing a cinematic piece of backround art like Midgar tower in this with weird, blurry, arty textures when it looked fine in the first place. If not I've seen examples of people having an HD, upgraded intro movie that looked like AC, how do I get that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPt68eVe0P0?

-Dialogue boxes have a decent amount of extra space most of the time

-Was there not a re translation option? I clicked that AND installed the reunion mod but Still saying weird things like attack while tail is up. Can I even install the Reunion mod after I've installed Tifa's package, or do I need to start all over again with both?

-Health/Limit/ATB bars are all over the place in battle screen, but I've heard getting Tifa automatically fixes this. If so then I don't mind.

So, I got most of the parts the mods working, however I have this issue with the highway minigame. It seems as if the minigame is running at a higher speed than normal, and i can't find anything online to try and patch the issue. Inside the bootloader even if I try and run the game with the safe settings, the new timelimiter, the minigame limiter, nothing changes.
