General Discussion / I got FF7_SYW_Unified running with GOG version
« on: 2026-02-25 13:57:02 »
Hello, I registered just to let people know that following these suggestions up to point #4 is enough also to make FF7_SYW_Unified version 1.16 work with the GOG version of the game.
I figured that with the new release lots of people would end up in my situation, so I did some digging.
In order to make the installer recognize the original installation folder, you just have to select as the FF7 original game folder the same ff7\workingdir folder where you copied the renamed ff7_en.exe file.
I just tested it by using the offline installer from GOG (so without GOG Galaxy), and the game launched correctly. Obviously, I haven't tested it fully, I just checked that the game started up to the first battle with powerful computer presets activated.
Thanks to all the guys that made the mods, you're great!
