FF8 Tools / Re: [FF8PC] External Texture Support - Tonberry: Enhanced (2.03)

New crash details. As I already mentioned, my game crashes while using Squall's Limit Breaks. But as I now found out, it only crashes while using Squall's Limit Breaks against Tonberries in the Centara Ruins while trying to get the GF Tonberry. Anywhere else, his Limit Breaksare no problem.
I hope it's a good clue for you guys.

To those who are experiencing the crash:

Set your cache_size=250 or less in \tonberry\prefs.txt. I believe the problem is that the cache is growing too large.

I managed to reproduce the crash today, and the debugging I've been able to do is making it look like the FF8_EN.exe process is trying to use greater than the ~1.75GB of memory allowed to 32-bit processes. It seems the simulated PSX GPU is using more non-GPU memory than I realized... and I may have added a zero when I was doing my memory calculations to determine optimal cache size. 

But on the bright side, debugging this thing has led to all sorts of optimizations that should make things faster once we get the crash sorted out. I'll know more in the next few days, but our solution may be as simple as keeping the cache size between 100-250 (which seems to be about 20 gameplay minutes worth of textures).

I set down the value and it worked at first. then i installed rebirth Flame and it started crashing again. Not just with the Fated circle but also with Blast zone. I will try again with disabled Rebirth Flame and the low cache value and report if something happens.

Edit: Nope, still crashes with Squall's limit breaks. Rebirth Flame is disabled and cache-size is 100. I also upgraded to tonberry 2.03

Hey pals,

I've installed tonberry and I'm using SeedReborn (german), Tripod (german), Horizon, project eden, lunar cry and the Controller Buttons Pack (X360)
Since i've installed the mods i get the "Unknown exceotion occured" message irregulary and my game crashes. And yes, I already have disabled the Steam overlay.

Do you have an idea, what could be wrong?

Thanks for your Help and keep up the good qork 

I have not experienced this crash myself, so it is proving difficult to debug. It sounds on the surface like a caching problem (trying to access NULL textures) but it seems others have isolated it to Project Eden which is full of colliding textures, so I'm not so sure. I will be targeting this issue and hopefully will have resolved it soon. In the meantime, disabling Project Eden may help reduce the frequency of crashes.

At this point i can't tell if it has worked, but since I have disabled Project Eden i haven't had any new crashes. Seems like Eden was the Problem. Thank you very much

Guess at which times i now get the "unknown exception"-Error  nearly every time when i do the "fated circle"-Limit Break i crashes while doing the explosion animations. Any Idea what it could be?
