Crash just after the EIDOS sequence and can't update 7h (files in use)

[Schrödinger]

I could play a few times and now (suddenly) I can't even start the game because "something very bad happened". On top of that, I got a message to update my 7h today and when I try to do so I got some "file in use" messages so I can't fully update it. I've followed the instlation guide step by step except that I need to put 1280x960 becuase if I use the 0,0 and the default numbers, I got a cuted/deformed game screen (I have a 16:9 full HD screen).

Any help? Thx

What version of 7th Heaven are you using?

[PCP]

im getting the same error

[Tsuna]

For now guys i would just use the older 7H until a fix is issued. Don't let it update to then one.
It only came out today

[PCP]

where can i download an older version?

[Tsuna]

Thats the link for the last version
http://www.ficedula.co.uk/7thHeaven/7H_1.54.zip

[PCP]

think i might still have that version in my downloads, so 1.54 is stable?
Do i have the redownload everything, or can i copy paste the iro files to the 1.54 folder??

[Tsuna]

Just paste it in and it will seem like nothing changed
I would paste the actual 7H files into the other one to save moving the IRO's and stuff if that's what you do

[PCP]

but that means i will be using the 1.55 version of 7th Heaven?

[Tsuna]

Not if you replace the files with the old ones

[PCP]

ahh replace older filers in the mod folder, sorry didnt quite understand it, also do i have to move ff7 folder out of the program files folder? just this question and i will try again

[Tsuna]

I have my 7th Heaven inside the FF7 directory to make life easier.
Well i installed my FF7 in C:Games\Final Fantasy 7 and never had issues.

But no if it worked before it will continue to work. Just paste the 154 files over the updated ones.
Shouldn't have to change anything

[PCP]

hmm im using a steam version, it wont let me choose another folder, it gives me a popup saying this drive already has a steam library, fruiting steam

[Tsuna]

Oh there IS a way to do it but you have to do it in steam settings somewhere:
https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7710-tdlc-0426

Try this. I don't think you have to move it anyway but the option is there.
Don't do this if it works okay now, never fix something that isn't broken

[PCP]

it works, many thanks!

[Tsuna]

No problem man. Apparently the new version is working. Maybe we have to do it without replacing the old files. Assuming that what we all did
