[ FF7 ] Collection of 60FPS bugs/glitches

[tangtang95]

This is the collection of bugs and glitches related to full 60FPS gameplay feature:

• BATTLE mode

  • [x] Gun 2D effect animation (e.g. Barret or enemy gun's attack) does not always happen
  • [x] Softlock in final battle agains Bizzaro Sephiroth (sometimes when a part dies it does not prompt to change party). The solution is to fix menu FPS with another method
  • [x] Moves that inflict Mini status has animation glitch
  • [ ] 2D effects are still running at 15 FPS (i.e. magics, enemy skills, enemy moves, etc.)
    • [x] Material effects running at 15 FPS (e.g. Ice1, Ice2, Ice3, ...)
    • [ ] Particle effects are still running at 15 FPS (e.g. Flamethrower, Sewer, Shiva's particles, ...)
    • [ ] Texture pages are still running at 15 FPS (e.g. Fire texture is not changing at 60FPS). This is not fixable via code, but only by changing texture files (Low priority until particle effects are fixed)
  • [x] Summon's are still running at 15 FPS (Models and camera)
  • [x] Shiva is blinking at the start
  • [x] "Chocobuckle" enemy skill is running at 15 FPS
  • [ ] Confu magic running at 15 FPS
  • [x] Few limit break's camera movement are still at running 15 FPS (Need to specify better)
  • [x] Few enemy's move camera movement are still at running 15 FPS
  • [x] Yellow triangle indicator at the top of the current controlled character is animated too fast [Minor bug]
  • [x] Enemy attacks animation glitches
    • [x] "Goblin punch" enemy skill has animation glitch
    • [x] "Bomb blast" of Bomb remains with black background after the move
    • [x] Death kill animation when countdown of Death sentence finish
  • [x] Status effect animations are too quick (e.g. sleep zzz animation)
    • [x] Confusion
    • [x] Sleep and silence
  • [x] Ground movement (e.g. formation ID 460 elevator battle in Shinra building) is too quick
  • [x] Some battle models that interact with each other has animation glitches (this is due to lost frames during interpolation (Need fix in the IRO))
    • [x] Rufus & Chopper, formation ID 464
  • [x] Pointer indicator for target is animating too quickly when selecting action that targets all enemies or all allies

• FIELD mode

  • [x] Encounter rate too high
  • [x] Model movements done by decreasing the movement speed introduce bugs/softlocks (e.g. Cloud wrong direction in his past, when confronting Sephiroth, or Biggs stuck when retreating from Reactor 5). Need to obtain a way to achieve the same movement as in 30 FPS but with smoother animation and movement
  • [x] Some field objects (e.g. rope, propeller, ...) do not animate correctly because the interpolated animation files are not done
  • [x] Crash after Demon wall boss fight with Cait Sith (bug in wrong offset of opcode)
  • [x] Softlock above train while playing as Cid (map field _zcoal3)
  • [x] Dialog message speed is purposely not fixed since it can be regulated (Minor bug)
  • [x] [Optional fix in IRO] One train in trainyard moves incorrectly the first time used (which caused some strange animation glitch). Found fix only by editing flevel.lgp (flevel fix compatible with original FPS)
  • [x] Parade in Junon has lots of animation glitches (it seems that the main script of each field model is starting too quickly).
  • [ ] Some animation are sped up due to loops inside script flevel.lgp that use variable counter.
    • [x] [Optional fix in IRO] In blin70_2, Cloud and Barret does not face correctly against Palmer (flevel fixable)
    • [x] [Optional fix in IRO] In woa_2 and woa_3, the background animation cover only half of the screen (flevel fixable)
    • [ ] In some other maps, animated textures might run too quickly due to the loops (e.g. lights, cogs, ...)
  • [x] Great Glacier steps before fainting is halved
  • [x] Turn movement (done by opcode TURNGEN 0xB4 and TURN 0xB5) is not fully supported, 7+1 of them cannot be increased further. They require a new variable that is bigger than a byte. Maybe splitting it into two opcode could be a solution (https://picklejar76.github.io/kujata-webapp/field-op-code-details/b4)
  • [x] Background movement is not smooth (unless a new 2D background engine is implemented, it cannot be fixed)
  • [x] Softlock on one of the last area of the game (map _las05). Fixed in canary version

• WORLDMAP mode

  • [x] Encounter rate too high
  • [x] Dialog message speed
  • [x] Weapon cutscene is glitched
  • [ ] Midgar Zolom (a.k.a. Snake) is shorter in length due to movement speed reduced (Minor bug: need to increase the size of the array containing snake positions)

Do not report these following original unmodded FF7 bug:

• Possibility to softlock the player on the edges of first Wutai Bridge. Cannot move the character

Before reporting new bugs/glitches, make sure you are running the latest canary version of FFNx and also the latest 60 FPS IRO mod (force update on catalog and check if there is a new version). Also double check if the bug or glitch is not already in this list

Hello! I have an issue, when i use the 60/30 FPS on battle (set on 30) the enemies and cloud are like 2x or 3x speed while Barret is normal speed, dont know how can really fix it, i saw some youtube videos and everything runs ok (enemies, characters, etc)

[tangtang95]

@Alexiels Make sure to have FFNx updated (latest stable version is 1.15.0). You also need to have mods orderered correctly. There is a 1/9 button on the right side bar of 7th heaven that automatically orders the mods.

For further help, go to the discord you can find on the README

Thanks, I already ordered the mods with the 1/9 button, the FFNx is 1.15, start a new game and then when the first fight starts it crash, it didn't crashed before because I was using a save (I installed the mod after ) I don't know what to do, my pc build:

Asus Rog strix, 3070 rtx, 32 GB ram, 2k 165hz screen, AMD Ryzen 9

I'm not sure what is happening. I don't think it's an issue with 60 FPS. If you enable only 60 FPS, does it crash? I still recommend going to Discord for 7th heaven support

[tangtang95]

The softlock related to #569 has been fixed with the latest canary v1.15.0.116

Hi,

I've noticed that safe code in the Nibelheim mansion is particularly difficult to enter correctly under 60 fps. I didn't see that listed here yet so thought I'd mention it, sorry if I missed it.

Thanks for the amazing mod!

Hello! I found three bugs during my playthrough:

Whirlwind Maze - wind wall (the one with green line: youtube link) animation glitching (impossible to time it correctly, just passed randomly);

Fort Condor segment crashed the game when i put too many units (i believe it crashed on tristones);

Sephiroth' Super Nova animation doesn't work - only show black sky.

Hi! Not sure if its just me, but Knights of the Round summon crashes the game every time it is triggered with 60fps mod turned on. At 30fps it is fine. I have tried disabling all other mods leaving just 60fps mod on and still it crashes. Just wondering if anyone else has the same issue?

[SonicRay100]

I've discovered a bug that occurs when using "NinostyleHD animations" in the "Advanced Field Animations (60 FPS)" section of the 60 FPS mod. It doesn't occur when using "Original" or "ChaOS animations". I've tested this with just the 60 FPS mod active so I know no other mod is causing this.

What Happens is some NPCs will not play their animation immediately when interacted with. There's a 4 or so second delay. At first I thought the game froze and then they suddenly played their animation and started talking. It doesn't break the game thankfully and everything proceeds as normal once the NPCs animation plays. I should point out that spamming an interaction might get them to react immediately but it's not consistent.

I don't have a list but I can point to one NPC that this happens with. He's in North Corel. Here's his details when opening flevel.lgp in Makou Reactor:

File: ncorel Id: 450

Id: 22 Group: man3

Thanks for reading :).

it's not related to 60 fps as the same bug also occurs in OG fps

Really? I can't seem to replicate that at all without "NinostyleHD animations" activated. Is it documented anywhere? I was looking around to see if it was a known bug but I found nothing. Regardless, is there a fix for it?

this bug have been reported to me some days ago only, so i just started investigating on it. it's not related to 60 fps, try with 30fps (AKA OG fps) and a 3d models pack, you'll get the same bug. it's related to the breathing animation used by chaos and nino 3d model in my AIO pack (just found the culprist some minuts ago)

i'll correct this bug asap, if i can't fix the breating's bug (it may be realy complex because breathing animation is 4 seconds lenght and originaly there's no such a animation so i suspect the game's script to not stop animation before some dialog - logic if there's no animation in those script in OG), i'll remove the breathing

[SonicRay100]

Ah it makes sense now. To be honest I forgot the characters didn't have breathing animations in the first place. It's not really too much of an issue though, since it's not game breaking and it does give a bit more life to the characters. Perhaps an option to disable the breathing for those who can't deal with it if possible would be better if a solution can't be found?

[tangtang95]

Hi everyone, I will close this issue as there is no need to collect all bugs and glitches related to 60 fps. There is nothing more planned to fix. All limitations are listed in the mod's README (https://github.com/tangtang95/ff7-60fps-mod/blob/main/src/Readme.txt) and here. If new bugs are found out, please open a new issue.

Thanks everyone for the help in testing and debugging!
