Alright, as I thought. I'd attempted to install the Sabin Blitz mod after, I believe, the NOS event album mod, and when that failed, went for the mobile UI removal mod. So yes, I could still add mods to the obb file after that one crashed and deleted itself.

However, I did encounter the music problem again, after about an hour and a half today. Seems to be the same regardless. I thought a clean install would work, but apparently not. Like I said, for now I'll leave it for a while and see if anyone else has similar problems. I suggest about two weeks or so, but you could set your own time limit if that doesn't sound like enough, or even too much.

Kk we'll wait it out for now, in the mean time I'm still going to try and recreate the problem on my machine to see if I can come up with anything!

It's been about two weeks now and I haven't seen any complaints similar to mine. I think it's fairly safe to say that my case is yet another fluke unique to me and the mods are very usable--recommended, even. I hope to see a similar mod for FFV in the near future.

I guess I'll see what I can find, and, barring that, make one myself. Excel isn't all that hard to use. The programming part, though, I'll leave to you guys. Would it be more helpful to have options in one spreadsheet, or across a few? There are a few orders that could be helpful, so I think options are important here. I'm thinking by bestiary number, alphabetically, and by family (either general types or palette swaps).

As far as giving the bestiary an indicator of learned rages, I have no idea, unless you could somehow tie the two together.

Alright, I deleted and reinstalled the game. It runs fine, as expected. Now, using the links in the original post, I'm going to reinstall the mods via the manual installs. Just so we're clear, the versions listed above have already been altered, correct?

I'm going to have to redownload FFVI Explore as well, now that I think about it.

Edit: I've now installed the mods just as I had them. I'll test more thoroughly later, but everything appears fine for now. As stated above, I've only used what's listed in the original post, from the manual installers. I see the dates of the last edits for the music files are 8/31, so I'm guessing they are the altered versions, as I thought. At least, until I get an answer, that's what I'm going to assume.

The alternate Blitz patch is still acting the same, though. I just tried to install it and it disappeared again. Just like before, it didn't even get to the textbox prompting the selection of main.obb. Not sure what's going on there.

Hey all of the downloads are the latest versions with hotfixes already applied. Glad to hear the music is finally working for you again. I'll take a look into the blitz ui problem, not sure why the installer is crashing; but ill try to recreate it on my end. Just curious, what patch did you install just before the alternative blitz ui patch? Are you able to install any more patches on top of the game since the crash?

Alright, the glitch happened again, this time with the AWR tracks, and it's actually NOT the exact same tracks muted. This time around, everything between 'The Gestahl Empire' and 'Battle' refuse to play, but the very next song did. When exiting out, the cave music was now muted, like before, and about two minutes passed before a crash.

Both of these times, I've had the recent hotfixes applied. I originally went for the manual installs as there were a few things from both I liked over their counterparts, but not necessarily what was picked for the hybrid package. I'm going to finish off what I started, so it's not hanging on an autosave that isn't guaranteed to be there after a reinstall.

Uh...well. I thought maybe I was just getting a string of songs not working, but after I tested a few, ALL of the music is now gone. The first one listed that didn't work was Awakening, followed by The Mines of Narshe. Apparently everything after that point too, but given that I then went back to the beginning and tried to play Prelude, hell, even exiting out altogether to walk around the cave, and nothing is playing whatsoever, I'm thinking there's a corruption somewhere in my code. Yes, I double checked the audio levels up at the top, and both sets are set to 'high'. The sound effects play just fine.

Keep in mind, this is the NOS pack right now. It comes to mind that I should probably try to replicate this with the AWR pack again and see what doesn't play there. I'm willing to bet it's going to be the same tracks. So I suppose I'm going to try that first, take notes, THEN do a fresh install of the game and mods.

Okay, I just encountered the sound glitch again, after maybe an hour, an hour and a half. I'm going to try the fresh install.

My specs are: OS -- Windows 10 Home 64-bit
CPU -- Intel Core i7 7700 @ 3.60GHz
RAM -- 16 GB
GPU -- 4095MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (HP)

So, as you can see, more than powerful enough (no surprise there, it doesn't take much). My drivers are up to date, things like Assassin's Creed Origins, Metal Gear Solid V, and Final Fantasy XV run just fine, too. As stated above, I'm going to try the fresh install and see how that goes. As for anybody else possibly having the problem(s)....let's give it a week or two and see what pops up. This mod is basically new, so I could just be the first to find these problems. If so, we could collate the data as it comes to see if there are any similarities between cases.

Oh! Before I do that, I'll check the music player in the config menu. That should tell me if there are any other tracks having this problem. I'll list what doesn't work below.

Hmm, I have Avira antivirus and before it would quarantine pretty much every .exe patch for FFVI until I asked Avira to stop. Could it be that whatever antivirus program you're using is auto-quarantining specifically that one patch?

Apparently not, as neither seemed to pick up anything or have anything in their records.

I validated my files and reinstalled the mods, so we'll see how it goes from there. However, as far as the alternate Sabin Blitz mod goes, when I try to run it, it just deletes itself from my system. That's both what was already included with the manual installers and the one provided two posts up. Oh well, I guess I just won't use that one, but again, something worth mentioning.

Are you sure the alternate blitz HUD isn't showing up? At first I thought that it wasn't working on my end either, but after closer inspection I noticed that it came out as subtle "explosions" around Sabin's character as you input each button press.

Oh no, I mean in Windows as I'm trying to even open the EXE to patch the main.obb file in the first place. After a brief wait, about a second or two, I see a flash as what I assume was the normal program attempts to load, Windows makes its error noise, and I see that the EXE has deleted itself from my folder. This is a new problem, as I didn't have this installed the first time around. I've tried a few times and it keeps happening. I'll double check to see that all my Windows updates are in place, but all of the other patchers ran just fine. By the way, I never established a pattern on how often that audio glitch came up, so I'm testing the game now and will report back if it happens again. I just don't know how long it might take.
