Releases / Re: [FF8PC-Steam] GeDoSaTo Config v2.3 (Compatible with ReShade)

Hmmm, tried again and it didn't work for me. I wonder if it has to do with my laptop or maybe its due to Nvidia DSR. But imo Nvidia DSR + ReShade does exactly what I want. Of course GeDoSaTo has way more features and resolutions though. And you are 100% correct, ReShade with OpenGL worked awesomely. I know you provided ReShade with your GeDoSaTo config, but I just prefer configuring it through the in-game menu, the text menus are kinda confusing. But yeah, with all these mods and the installer you've made, everything just works awesomely. Considering how old these guides, installers and videos are, they were done very well to where they still hold up months/years later. I'm used to guides where you have to figure out stuff on your own and your own workarounds because windows updates and GPU driver updates start moving stuff around haha

Well, I am using a laptop with a GTX1070 so I can't really remove that monitor even if I am extending to a 2nd screen so I hope that is not causing problems. I do have Full Screen and keep aspect ratio on in the FF8 launcher settings, however only with fullscreen disabled in the FF8 launcher, do I even reach near-fullscreen. I can get it to go fullscreen but with a border, which is reasonable. I played with the GeDoSaTo settings and tried different kinds of false/true for fullscreen and borderless fullscreen but I can't seem to get it working still. If Bordered fullscreen is the only kind of fullscreen compatible with the mods then it is a necessary evil and totally worth it, but I figured I'd ask the community here first, since I only recently read up on this stuff. But thanks for the info, If you have other things to try to potentially fix fullscreen then it would be appreciated, if not, I still greatly appreciate the help.

Edit: judging by videos I see on YouTube using these mods, I won't be surprised if bordered fullscreen is the only working way. It's likely out of most people's control anyway, considering the game is like 20 years old and released on Windows XP and I am now on Windows 10 with hardware that is way more advanced than required.

Edit 2: It seems the game goes into fullscreen fine without GeDoSaTo enabled/running. Hmm

Edit 3: So I figured, why not just avoid using GeDoSaTo all together if it isn't needed, so I installed ReShade and some of the mods no longer work. I assume its due to some dxgi or d3d9 dll being overwritten by ReShade. Is there a simple fix to get the mods working again or do I have to reinstall and edit config files all over again? Sorry for all the questions

Edit 4: Simply running the Lunatic Pandora installer for a few seconds for the d3d9.dll to extract and replacing it over the ReShade 3.0 generated d3d9.dll fixed the mods again.

Each time I run the game it starts in windowed mode. Is that just a downside to using GeDoSaTo? I have many mods installed, since I bought the Pandora pack and even some mods that weren't included, so of course its always possible for one of those to be the cause. But I figured I'd ask here since I doubt graphics mods are preventing my game from going full screen. Any help or tips would be appreciated.
