Please help me! :(

Hi all!

Well, I'm a new member here & I really like this site & forum!

I'm having a problem in FF8 (for PC), Disc 2, whenever I reach the scene when Squall rescues Rinoa the game crashes to the desktop, so I'm supposed to download a patch to fix this problem, right?

well, which patch shall I download, the non-GeForce Bug Patch or the GeForce Bug Patch? I mean what's the difference between those two?

& after I download it, what shall I do?

Please help me & I'll be really very grateful! :cry:

& thanx a lot :D

Hi, welcome to EoFF! :)

The patch you install depends upon what graphics card you have. If you have a G-Force graphics card you install the G-Force patch, and if you don't have a G-Force graphics card you install the non-G-Force patch.

Thanks a lot Mr. Mimic :)

But I really wonder how can I know the type of my graphics card :rolleyes2

it's not a big deal anyway :D

well do I have to apply the patch to the 4 CDs? if so, how can I do that?

the graphics card name should be listed on your computer go to the tool box / control panel and select device then look for the graphics card on the list (it'll be labelled as a graphics card) and it should be there as for the rest I don't know I believe final fantasy belongs on a console not on a pc

Thank you very much Fallen_angel_666 :)

it's not GeForce & that's good :D

There still one more problem, as I said before: "do I have to apply the patch to the 4 CDs? if so, how can I do that?"

<<< copying is much more easier than rewriting :D

You don't apply it to the CDs, they're not re-writable. You probably just install it to the directory that contains FFVIII.

Thanks DJzen, I've installed the patch, but I still have the same problem, when Squall rescues Rinoa, the game crashes!

What shall I do? is there any other patch that I can download? :cry:

Well maybe my CDs are not complete, so can any one please tell me what's the size of his/her Disc 2 & 3?

My disc 2: 535 MB , contains 5 files.

Help! :cry:

If you bought this game from the store then you shouldn't have any problems. Is this "shareware" i.e. illegaly copied?

Shoot, I had this problem before and I can't remember how to bypass it. Try ejecting the disc right before Eyes on Me starts to play.

Okay, I wanted to check because if you got it off of Kazza or something of the like you never know if the files your are using are authentic or not.

If it is when you save Rinoa in space, then yes.
