Latest Update: May 30, 2019Big List of Bugs
This list is going to be updated when new bugs and solutions are found.
It is currently mostly for Final Fantasy VII so far. It might be branched out to other games eventually, but for now we'll stick with just 7.
If you know of any existing bugs that aren't listed here, please post them below along with a solution should you know it.
If someone else knows a solution, quote the issue you are responding to when you post it.
Any mod makers that wish to contribute to this, please contact me or post down below. I'll be adding bugs for more specific mods as they pop up
Game Converter
Use FF7 Remove Registry Keys:
http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=14421.0 When typing the game location inside the converter, find your FF7.exe, right click and choose properties.
Copy the location it shows and paste it inside the converter. Make sure you have a " on BOTH sides.
Example - ("C:/Games/Final Fantasy VII")
7th Heaven
The current version of 7th Heaven is 1.56
- Please check the F.A.Q. for any issue not stated here
http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=16538.0- Game closes once I hear the starting beep
This could be due to sound. If you ever change your sound device, ie from Speakers to headset.
You will need to run the converter again, when the FF7 options window pops up, click the sound tab and Test.
If the sound comes through the device you wish to use then you're good.
- When I run the game with mods on, it looks like Vanilla
Open your settings inside 7th Heaven and manually use the browse function to set the 4 locations.
Occasionally the auto settings may mess these up.
This could be 1 of 2 things. First of all you could be using the wrong exe (If you are using “Because” or “Menu Overhaul”)
If you have this mod active then you must be using the “ff7_bc.exe” in your 7th Heaven settings.
Second your modpath may be wrong. Go to your FF7 root folder, look for a file named “ff7opengl.cfg” right click and open with notepad.
Look for a line close to the top that says “Modpath =” and be sure it says “Modpath = Textures”.
- Crash when downloading a mod
This is usually just a 1st time crash thing. Restart 7th Heaven and try again.
Type %appdata% into your search bar and hit enter, then delete the 7th Heaven folder if present.
If all else fails, delete your 7th Heaven installation, and reinstall.
- No mods in the Catalog tab
When inside your 7th Heaven settings you will see a box named “Subscriptions”.
Paste these links into that box. 1 on each line, not together
Default Subscription: iros://Url/http$pastebin.com/raw.php?i=dDBkYkDu
Mods of the Round Subscription: iros://Url/http$pastebin.com/raw.php?i=QBGsgGK6
Now restart 7th Heaven and open your Catalogue tab, click Search and it should now be filled with mods.
- Error when launching game
Right click your 7th Heaven.exe and select properties, compatibility tab and set it to run as admin.
Go to the same tab but for FF7.exe and tick the box that say "Run in 640x480"(Do the same for all other exe's).
This will not actually affect your gameplay as 7th Heaven takes over it anyway.

This is due to DPI scaling. Find the exe you are using eg - ff7.exe, ff7_bc.exe.
Right click this and go to the “Compatibility” tab.
Click on “Change High DPI Settings” and tick “Override high DPI scaling behaviour”, then in the dropdown choose “Application”.
- Long loading times/crashes mid game
This can be a few things: amount of mods, size of mods, complexity of mods, but the most likely is in some of the
1.56 version of 7th Heaven there’s a bug that duplicates the contents of the Extra Folders section of the
General Settings. Deleting the duplicates will help with this issue.
There is no 1.57 update yet. If it keeps showing, in General Settings, uncheck “Check for 7th Heaven Updates Automatically” to make it stop.
Keep an eye on the thread to keep up with updates.
http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=17620.0- Post Processing initialization failed, check APP.LOG for more information error
If you're running the game on Intel HD Graphics, it doesn't support the Post processing effect that comes with the shader.
You either need to assign the game to a dedicated GPU (if you have one) or go into Workshop -> OpenGL -> Graphics and
uncheck the box for Post processing.
New Threat
Make sure you are on the latest version, you can check here:
http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=14938.0 This is caused by a loose file in the Mini-Games Collection IRO in the 7th Heaven default catalog. Disable the mod to fix.
