Help plz. Technical problem
Okey boys and girls, I got a problem. that you might be able to help me with. (Hopefully somewhat quicker than the support at Eidos...)
A couple of years ago I got FF8 for PC, 4 discs + Install, and started playing it. Of course I got stuck, but I stopped playing at the end of disc 3, dun ask me why..
Now when I wanted to play it again, I took out the cd and installed it. (New comp.)
No problems with the installation, and configurating the game went jsut fine. Then I started the game, watched the dull intro, and selected "NEW GAME"...
wtf!??
"WRONG DISC, CAUTION!"
Couldn't figure out why, so I examined my cd. Of course, there were some scratches. Well, since I've played disc1 several times before, I thought I'd skip it, so I downloaded save-files for disc2, since it isn't scratched.
But when I tried to load 'em, I got the same problem. The game wouldn't accept my CDs! Also tried it with disc3 and 4 (no scratches), none of them worked.
Then I tried to crack the game, making image-files of the cds... everything! It still wouldn't work!!!!!!!
Yes, I kow what you're thinking, I tried patching the game. Still the same problem, even though I tried cracking the new version.
Reinstalled the game several times, still not working!
Now I realised that the problem might be I'm using win XP (u know how it is.) so I put in an old HD, installed Win98 on it, and tried to install the game. Guess what? STILL NOT WORKING!!
So I mailed the Eidos support, but this was a couple of days ago, and I remember that last time I e-mailed them it took me 3 weeks to get an answer!
Please, If you know how to fix this, or have any tips, answer.
If I dun get to play FF soon, my head will explode...
(I'll post this in both the FFVIII and Help forums)
