The newest version of Memoria should have a working launcher. Try verifying your game files, and when Steam has finished fixing up your FFIX installation, reinstall Memoria. After that, you'll need to run and exit the game once to get Memoria.ini created to your game folder.

So you built a strawman that if someone doesn't like constant random encounters, they're lazy gamers who should just cheat all the way through the game? Meanwhile, you declare that your way of playing the game is the right way, and that the PSX version is the way the game was meant to be played, and still you want features that weren't even in the PSX version, such as harder bosses and recruitable Beatrix.

I see no point in arguing with you. My point still stands that any changes Memoria implements to the game should be optional (as they are at the moment), so gamers are free to pick whichever enhancements they want, rather than being forced to use all the enhancements.

If you want a challenging game, FFIX definitely isn't the game for you. It was very easy for me even in PSX when I first played the game. Rare encounters actually make the game harder for you because you'll have less EXP, abilities and money, and you'd need to grind if you want to be as strong as you would be in the PSX version.

•A bit more encounters.
•No autosaving
•Fixed UI
•No chat icons
•Disabling cheats in the menu

I hope these will at most be optional features, as I wouldn't want those features forced upon me. As I said, I prefer a game where random encounters aren't that frequent. I just hate it when I fight a battle that lasts for several minutes because of the game's slow battle system (in the PSX, the combination of the battle whirl, camera pan and the filling of the ATB already take 30+ seconds), and when I take 2 steps, the same battle whirl and camera pan again. Fortunately, you can disable the latter in the Steam version. As for autosaving, I like the feature, since it lets me play the game for 10-15 minutes and quit without worrying about finding a save point. If you don't want the feature, only load permanent saves on the main menu, rather than loading the autosave. The UI will be updated, but it will take a while. I don't mind chat icons, it lets me know who I can challenge for a card game. Memoria disables all cheats by default.

•A bit harder bosses
•Beatrix as a recruitable party member

There's always the Alternate Fantasy mod, which should have both. Again, I think these should at most be optional features, not forced for everyone to use.

I only got 1 hour on this game, would be nice to play through it again but the issues kills it for me. :(

I'm sorry, but if you stopped whining about trivial things like autosaving and chat icons, and just enjoyed the game for what it is, you'd have much more than 1 hour on the clock.

I don't think it's a bug, I consider it an intended feature that the encounter rate has been lowered. I like the feature a lot, since it's really annoying running into a fight every 2 steps, especially considering how slow the battles are in FFIX (although Memoria speeds them up quite a bit). With the current RNG, you can get out of dungeons fairly quickly, without running into many fights, but if you stay in a room and wander around for longer, you'll get into fights more. For those who want even more battles, they can use Memoria's Shift+F4 function to get into fights every 1-2 steps, and for those who want to avoid random battles completely, they can use the No Encounter booster.

What about the saving/loading option?

Alt+F5 and Alt+F9 are glitched because they both conflict with Nvidia's Shadowplay feature. Until the hotkeys of save/load are changed, I'd suggest changing Shadowplay's hotkeys to something else in GeForce experience. For example, I changed my Shadowplay custom overlay hotkey from Alt+F5 to Ctrl+Alt+F5, and recording hotkey from Alt+F9 to Ctrl+Alt+F9.

To change these hotkeys, open up GeForce Experience, then press the "Open in-game overlay" button in the top-right corner, then press the gear button next to the microphone and camera buttons, then select Keyboard shortcuts. Find the settings that have Alt+F5 and Alt+F9 as their hotkeys, and change them to something else.

Under [Battle], the setting Speed = 1 works like the regular ATB, except it fills the next character's ATB bar instantly if nobody has a turn ready (so no more waiting with everyone having an empty ATB bar that takes forever to fill). I just checked, and it works as it should. This is a demonstration video Albeoris released over a year ago to describe how the Fast Battle option works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqDkhKLHwT0

Is it a bug that after installing the mod, the Speed Mode cheat no longer speeds up the ATB bar in battles, just the animations? If not, how can I configure it in a way that it still speeds up the battles?

This is a bug, I can confirm it too. If you press F1 during battles, it only speeds up the character animations, but the ATB bars won't recharge any faster, no matter which Speed setting you use in the [Battle] section. In the original game, pressing F1 speeds up all of the actions in the battle, including the progression of the ATB bars.

This is what the opening FMV looks with the setting MovieFPS = 30: https://www.dropbox.com/s/fu535h6iejvp2q9/FF9%202017-09-03%2014-42-49-218.mp4?dl=0 It definitely isn't supposed to be that fast, here's the PSX opening FMV for comparison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wh68eFP3UnI&t=2m55s (it's exactly like that for me with MovieFPS = 15).

Great, thanks! Based on what I quickly tried:

Albeoris lähetti viestin:

• Now you can manually turn on the trance mode[github.com]

Thanks for implementing this! The feature has a few bugs that still need to be fixed:
1) When you enter the Trance command, the character changes row.
2) Entering Trance drains one turn of the character's Trance gauge, as well as the ATB gauge, so you can spend less time in Trance. I think it's fine to drain the ATB when you enter Trance, but I wouldn't deplete the Trance bar.

Albeoris lähetti viestin:

• Now we can run away from turn-based battles[github.com]

I'll still need to test this further, but seems to work correctly now. Thanks!

• Changing movies FPS

Changing movie FPS from 15 to 30 makes the cinematic play at 2x speed, which causes synch problems with the sound/music. For example, I checked the opening FMV, and the storm sounds were still playing when Garnet woke up, and the music started to play when the view switched to Tantalus' ship (rather than when Garnet woke up). I was hoping for the following implementation: the movie speed stays the same, but the picture becomes smoother due to a better frame rate.

Make sure you aren't using multiple mods at the same time. You can try verifying the integrity of your game files via Steam, and then reinstall the Alternate Fantasy mod, or if that fails too, uninstall and reinstall the game, and then try reinstalling AF.

So you're the person behind that mod? If so, then why's it posted by someone else? Are you using different accounts?

He's using multiple accounts because some of them have been banned in Steam's FFIX forums for offensive behavior.

I dunno, what wrong on my end. When I try to hit play it states "Please select an available monitor", I only have one and it states 0 - SAMSUNG [Primary].

This happened to me too. The only way to get the game running was to bring back the original FFIX Launcher. To do that, just delete or rename the mod's own FF9_Launcher.exe, and rename FF9_Launcher.bak (the backup copy of the game's original Launcher) into FF9_Launcher.exe.
