Releases / Re: [FF8PC-Steam] Project Eden - dramatically improved backgrounds (v1.0)

Hello
I just recently tried to install these new textures. I went through the process described, but it breaks my game. After installing the textures, every time I go to launch the game I get errors:
"An unknown exception has occurred."
"Final Fantasy VIII for PC has stopped working."
EDIT: I have resolved this issue! I know that there were quite a few people with this same issue. The issues, for me, was caused because I had the wrong drive letter in prefs.txt. prefs.txt doesn't seem to be asking where the game is installed but, rather, where windows is installed. Entering the drive in which my Windows is installed on fixed the issues. For instance, I have Windows installed on C and FFVIII installed on E. If I set prefs.txt to E then the game will not launch, but if I set it to C then it launches.
