Troubleshooting / Re: FF8 Crashes randomly, Just started playing..
« on: 2014-10-22 21:14:45 »If you're running the game through Steam, you don't need the 1.02 patch. I sadly have no experience with the Steam version (I don't have it, and haven't got much money to spare recently).
We are still lacking some information. What was the error message? When exactly did it crash? Can you replicate it, and does it always crash under the same conditions, or is it random?
First the game will freeze and the graphics will go "hay-wire" some big black boxes will show up and then it will minimize and a little white box in the center of my screen will say "Unknown Error Has Occured".
Then the Windows box with the "Final Fantasy 8 Has stopped working", with the green fast loading bar.
It's completely random, I passed the parts both times it has crashed. It just worries me because I am afraid I will have to re-do tons of stuff if I haven't saved or can't save in a while.
