Have you modified the game in any way after installing Bootleg?
Did you manually change FF7_OpenGL.cfg?

Adoray · « **Reply #2 on:** 2012-07-04 21:29:13 »

Nah,

I backed up my FF7 install folder, formatted, and now it doesnt work

I installed ff7 again, then copied my backup folder overtop, still nothing.

PitBrat · « **Reply #3 on:** 2012-07-04 22:16:27 »

Do a fresh, maximum install of FF7.
Then run Bootleg again.
If you alter the paths or any of the files, the game will fail to load.

Adoray · « **Reply #4 on:** 2012-07-04 23:16:09 »

Paths are the same

I'll try it from scratch again- maybe I missed something.

Adoray · « **Reply #5 on:** 2012-07-05 04:00:46 »

I had it working fine b4 i formatted, now i uno wtf

Clean install, set bootleg to admin, set BFE to admin, run BFE, run bootleg, get error msg:

"run bootleg.exe as admin
for help use the command line switch-- bootleg /?
press any key to continue"

and it exists me.

i am so lost now

PitBrat · « **Reply #6 on:** 2012-07-05 11:30:56 »

Install FF7 to a non system folder such as C:\Games\Final Fantasy VII\
Don't use a system folder like Program Files or Desktop.

Adoray · « **Reply #7 on:** 2012-07-05 17:31:44 »

Hmm ic, the install directory that BFE sees didn't change to my new install dir automatically like i thought it would. I changed it and am patching now.

Adoray · « **Reply #8 on:** 2012-07-05 18:17:48 »

Dammit!!!!!!!!!

So I did a full clean install, successfully patched with BFE. When I open bootloader I get this when I try to do anything:

My settings don't save and I can't launch the game.

Adoray · « **Reply #9 on:** 2012-07-08 16:52:03 »

Hey guys, hoping to get some help with this, sorry.

PitBrat · « **Reply #10 on:** 2012-07-08 23:41:01 »

This one still stumps me.
I'm continuing my investigation.

Did you install the game for a optical drive: cd-rom, dvd-rom or blu ray?

Have you installed the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0?

Did you install to a non system folder like C:\Games\Final Fantasy VII\?

alllallla · « **Reply #11 on:** 2012-07-11 00:18:11 »

hey there!

Same thing happening to me!

And yes, installed in a non-system folder
Installed through an image
did not alter any bootleg files post-install.

Problem is, Bootloader opens, but when i go into config and try to save, (asks me yes when you close the config), it never does.
It stays on the config page forever.

PitBrat · « **Reply #12 on:** 2012-07-11 14:44:25 »

You must use a legitimate 3 CD-Rom version of the game: physical disks or images.
Any other versions of FF7-- Ultima Edition-- are not supported.

I'm unable to recreate this problem.
Post a copy or your ff7_opengl.cfg file.

Adoray · « **Reply #13 on:** 2012-07-11 20:57:54 »

Worked with other version before but let me try 2.2gb version.

alllallla · « **Reply #14 on:** 2012-07-11 21:41:32 »

hey there!

thanks for the quick reply PitBrat!

I do am using real images i made from buddy's CDs who told me you could play it modded with hardcore mod

Anyways, here's the cfg:

Code: [Select]

# ff7_opengl-0.7.11b config file - modified by Bootleg



## USER OPTIONS ##
## If you just want to play the game, these are the only options you'll want to change.

# set the window size (or fullscreen resolution) of FF7
# 0 means use original resolution (whatever ff7.exe provides)
# preserve_aspect adds black borders as needed to preserve a 4:3 aspect ratio
window_size_x = 1600
window_size_y = 900
#internal_size_x = 3840
#internal_size_y = 2160
preserve_aspect = yes
fullscreen = no

#window_pos_x = -1
#window_pos_y = -1
#widescreen_hack = yes

# mod directory
# subdirectroy of mods/ where textures will be loaded from
# does not affect the old external textures feature, those should still go in textures/
mod_path = bootleg

# check your driver settings if this option doesn't seem to work
enable_vsync = yes
refresh_rate = 60

# limit snowboard, coaster and highway minigames to refresh rate / 2, i.e. 30fps for a 60hz display mode
# vsync must be enabled and working for this to have any effect
minigame_framelimiter = on

# same thing, but for the battle swirl
battleswirl_framelimiter = off

# allow FF7 to use linear filtering for its textures
# some things look slightly better with this option on, but alot of textures just lose their detail
linear_filter = off

# plugin used to play music, the FF7Music plugin MUST be enabled for FF7Music to work.
# If no music plugin is loaded the game will play MIDI as usual but FF7Music will NOT work.
music_plugin = plugins/ff7music.fgp



## ENHANCEMENTS ##
## All the little extras that weren't part of the original game, default options include only trivial bug fixes.

# make all dialog boxes transparent, same effect as the transparent dialog boxes YAMP patch
transparent_dialogs = on

# allow max hp/mp to go over 9999, same effect as the YAMP patch by dziugo
break_9999limit = no
#new_hp_limit = yes
#new_mp_limit = yes

# include armor in magic defense calculation
mdef_fix = yes

# expand battle viewport to cover entire screen and make the battle menu transparent
new_battle_interface = on

# post-processing shader, used to apply fullscreen effects
enable_postprocessing = yes
post_source = shaders/SmartBloom.post
yuv_source = shaders/yuv.frag
frag_source = shaders/main.frag
vert_source = shaders/main.vert



## ADVANCED OPTIONS ##
## Don't fiddle with these unless you know what you're doing.

# use shaders, if available and supported
# turn shaders off to use the OpenGL 1.1 backend
use_shaders = yes
#enable_lighting = yes
#show_light_rays = yes
#show_normals = yes
#show_tbn_space = yes
#max_lights = 12

#Variable Functions#
#specular_fog = yes
#texture_scale_bias = 1
#texture_coordinate_clamp = yes
#pixel_texture_bits = 32
#generate_mipmap = yes
#detail_texture = yes
#shader_precision = yes
#tessellation_program5 = yes
#multisample_coverage = yes
#multisample_filter_hint = yes
#texture_filter_anisotropic = yes
#texture_edge_clamp = yes

# prevent glitches due to rounding errors by rendering in the nearest (larger, if supported)
# multiple of the original resolution and up/down-scaling
prevent_rounding_errors = yes

# enable alpha blending for textures without an existing blending effect
fancy_transparency = on

# display frames per second counter in upper right corner
show_fps = no
skip_frames = no

# display some real-time debug information
show_stats = no

# store external textures in a compressed cache for increased performance
# compression is not lossless, some artifacts may appear when this option is in use
# texture cache does NOT update automatically if the source image changes, however, deleting anything from the cache
# will cause that file to be recreated from the source
compress_textures = no

# use pixel buffer objects to speed up texture loading
# will probably crash horribly on ATI cards but should work for NVIDIA users
use_pbo = yes
use_vbo = no

# replace FF7's default framelimiter timer source
use_new_timer = yes

# use a more stable (but less accurate) timer to control FF7's framelimiter
# this option has no effect unless the use_new_timer option is on
use_stable_timer = yes

# plugin used to play movies, FFMpeg is the only choice for now
movie_plugin = plugins/ffmpeg_movies.fgp



## MODDER OPTIONS ##
## These options are mostly useful to modders and should not be enabled during normal play.

# read files directly instead of using LGP archives
# for example; if FF7 is looking for aaab.rsd in char.lgp, this option will make it open direct/char/aaab.rsd first,
# if this file doesn't exist it will look for the original in the LGP archive
direct_mode = off

# show every failed attempt at loading a .png texture
show_missing_textures = no

# Disable Error Notifications
disable_popup = on

# Load Multiple DLLs
load_library = Multi.dll

Are you running any virus scanning software?
Close all programs before running Bootloader.

alllallla · « **Reply #16 on:** 2012-07-12 13:38:45 »

Turned off Avast and closed everything I could (some process unknown to me are still on).

Same thing.

But it isnt that big of a deal since I can just edit it via the config file and launch the game via bootloader.
It's just the config part of the GUI that is messed up.

JobeStroud · « **Reply #17 on:** 2012-07-13 02:03:33 »

I get that error everytime myself after a fresh install of bootleg . All you need to do is hit continue and hit the prefab setting on the right side of the menu. I think it does it cause there is a blank movie field that it is looking up. Or that it is because it is the blank spot for the cd rom look up. once I pick the movie path and cd rom to use it works fine. No more error. So I believe the problem lies in there.

Adoray · « **Reply #18 on:** 2012-07-13 18:10:45 »

Odd, the first time I got this working it was with the ULTIMA edition. I had it working for a while until I formatted. Since then I have not been able to use the ULTIMA edition but the 2.2gb version worked like a charm. NO MORE ERRORS! ONLY GOODNESS!!!!

alllallla · « **Reply #19 on:** 2012-07-14 14:25:05 »

Hey there!

Found the problem.

Had to click ''write cfg'' after i changed the game and movie path

instead of just leave and savin
