Well i am pretty sure when i posted the save anywhere patch for FF8 i said it hadn't been fully tested, it was never meant to be used as a mod as such, i used it for test purposes only.
I hope there where no other modifications to the exe that I used. Is there any other save anywhere patch?
What other modifications exist for this game that patch the EXE ? even if you didn't backup your EXE you could just redownload the Official 1.2 patch to get a clean EXE.
And as far as i am aware there is no other saveanywhere mod for FF8, you may be better off using a trainer if you can find one, or maybe make one.
If i get chance over the next few days i will take another look at this problem and see if i can fix it, but i make no promises, life has been getting in the way of me having fun recently.
Also if you could upload your save for me and tell me what version of the game you are using (language and version number and type, for example "English 1.2 Non-Geforce") it may make it easier to sort the problem.
