"Try disabling your antivirus, it worked for me"Ī lot of PC game modding relies on injecting code into certain processes to get the job done, which often results in bad things downloaded and executed on the computer. "Did you right click the exe and select run as Administrator?" - LinkĪnd of course, let's not forget a timeless classic: That really isn't a good thing to be saying in relation to files you're going to be running on your system. "I'm not entirely sure what the EXE does" Later on, in reference to an executable related to one of the patches: While the files themselves may well be benign, it's simply amazing how quickly a 40 odd page thread can descend into horribly unsafe computing practices. Here's someone "digging around" for old mods, grabbing files from somewhere and uploading them to Dropbox. There are now a number of other mods that have been bashed into shape with a view to " fixing" the music - however, the problem with modding is it often encourages end-users to download and run whatever they can get their hands on. There were also issues related to upgrading the quality of the FMVs (full motion videos) included with the game - typically, unrelated installers end-users are clicking on when using free file download sites. This tutorial had to be updated with fresh download links after gamers were ending up with programs on their PCs they didn't want due to download managers being used.Įlsewhere, Steam users were complaining about virus alerts in relation to executables associated with changing the music files.
What this means in practice is that lots of people wanting to upgrade their music went off downloading random files and (in many cases) executables to get their "This music is considerably better but why is my PC on fire" fix.
A recent re-release of Final Fantasy VIII (the best Final Fantasy, in case you were wondering) has caused a bit of a stir in modding land, because it shipped with MIDI music files from the original PC release instead of the far superior soundtrack files from the PS1 release way back in 1999.
