Title: Can FF VIII (original modded PC version) AND Steam version work on same computer
Post by: Caraway on 2014-07-31 19:38:05

Hi guys,

I modded my original PC version of FF VIII with the great mods that we found here and for the sake of it I would like to compare it to the Steam version.

As my original version was working fine, the one I bought on sale from Steam, I couldn't make it work.... :o

Tried to uninstall it and reinstall it without succes...

Is it a know issue that both version can't work on same computer ?

I'm running it on a Win 7 x64...

Thanks!

Gen. Caraway

I have both, and they work fine together.  Maybe update your graphics drivers?

I don't know about FF7... especially if you have to use the Steam to OLD converter.  The versions of FF8 work independently of each other.
