I'm not sure if this is a bug or if it's how it always was but after you get the tiny bronco and visit the Weapon Dealer, there is no small box visible on the upper left of the house. You just walk to that side and select seemingly nothing and you will get Great Gospel. I forgot if that's how the original version was or if indeed there is a bug that makes the box not visible. Can someone confirm? If this is a bug, is it easy to fix to be included in the next update?

UPDATE: Turns out, that's how the game always was. It's more of a safe in the wall if anything, rather than a small box.

I found the problem. Let me explain. I installed 7th Heaven to try to load the game that way, without any mods, and it worked. I then ran SYW Settings, selected the features I wanted and clicked 'Play' and that also worked. Turns out, while installing 7th Heaven, that installer downloads and installs 'vcredist2022' and 'dotnet80desktop' runtime packages, both x86 and x64, so four packages in total. Without one or a combination of those packages, SYW 1.05 will not work properly, for me at least. I can only assume other people already have sufficient runtime packages installed before they use SYW 1.05 and it works fine for them.

Thanks for continuing to improve and support this mod.

I tried uninstalling FF7_SYW_Unified 1.05 and then installing it into a different folder name than the default one of FF7_SYW_Unified. Now FF7 launches but it's at the lowest resolution 480p without any mods applied.

How could simply changing the folder name enable the game to be launched? Any idea on what is happening? As far as I can tell, there are no logs being generated to give a clue as to what is going wrong.

Please help

After I click "Play FF7" in the settings app, it does its thing but the game doesn't launch. I tried with Default and Powerful Presets and a split-second black screen flashes then disappears. Also, after that, every time I open the settings app or launch FF7 from the dedicated shortcut, it asks me if I want to load the last used preset.

I tried nearly all rendering settings such as Automatic, OpenGL, Vulkan and Direct3D 9,11,12 but when I click play and it's time to start the game, black screen quickly flashes and disappears. FF7.exe and FF7_SYW_Unified.exe process starts but then quickly closes when I check task manager. It's as if something is causing FF7.exe and FF7_SYW_Unified.exe to close and not run properly. I have a Radeon graphics card if that matters at all.

I completely uninstalled previous versions of SYW and it's a totally clean install. FF7 version is from Steam if that matters. Vanilla Steam version of FF7 launches fine from Steam App, of course with no mods.

Any ideas on what could be the problem? I've never had a problem with launching the game using your previous packs.

Version 1.04 is working perfectly so far using only the FF7_SYW_Unified launcher, no 7th Heaven at all (I'm only at the first visit to Junon in the game though).

The fort condor battles minigame has a spelling error. After you destroy an enemy, a message displays on the screen that 'the enemy was destroyed' but the spelling of 'destroyed' is incorrect and is being spelled as 'destryed' missing the 'o'. Maybe this is the wrong topic to post this comment in and if so, may someone direct me to where I should address this? It's not anything critical but if time and effort were put in to upscale the minigame, it would be nice to have correct spelling.

I'm using the 4x3 aspect ratio in full-screen mode. Aside from battles and a few other scenarios, the screen is usually cropped in the middle with slim black bars at the top and bottom and of course the black bars on the sides. I understand the bars on the sides and why they're there, but is there a 7th Heaven mod or some other "trick" that anyone is aware of which can "fill" the screen so that there are no black bars on the top and bottom? I am aware of 'reshade' but I don't want to have to keep toggling the setting on and off if the screen is sometimes cut off.
