ff8 crash... (PC)

[Anora]

:mad2:

I got past the no cd error and got into the game. But when I play the game it looks like this... http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/6259/example4ak png

I can fix this problem by going to the Final Fantasy VIII Configuration then on the Graphics tab change the renderer from Direct3D Hardware Acceleration to Software Renderer. But now when I try to start the game by loading or a new game... it crashes.

I have gotten this to work but after I turned my computer back on it started to crash again. I have no real idea what I actually did to fix the problem

I have already tried installing both 1.2 patches, that didn’t work.

This goes in the Help forum, not Eyes on Each Other.

Ok thanks for moving the thread

My only suggestion is to ditch the PC version of FFVIII. Go get yourself a PS1 if you don't have one or a PS2, and it's FFVIII game. The PC version is riddled with glitches and bugs everywhere, so you're bound to encounter problems like that constantly.

Make sure to...

- Update your video card drivers to the latest version.
- Try disabling bilinear/trilinear filtering in the FF8 options (iirc, there's an option for that)
