I feel extremely dumb, but I simply can't get it to work.

What I've done is :

1) Download Demaster.
2) Put all Demaster files in my FF8 Remastered folder.
3) Run Demaster so it unpacks everything.
4) Download some mods. (LunarCry remastered for example)
5) Put the whole "texture" folder from .rar/zip mod archive into the "texture" folder from DEMASTER_EXP.
6) Run the game.

And I get the "unknown error". Some features will also cause other types of error, such as the UV mapping that tells me "Addresses are wrong. We found no ADD byte ptr[esi+8] at given rel call".

I don't get it, since the files in my FF8 folder look exactly the same as on Light's screenshot a few posts earlier. Same path, same files, etc. I'm new to this, so obviously I must be doing something wrong :/
I have also tried to tick/untick options one at a time, to see if one of those was causing the error, but it seems all of them are causing problems and will prevent the game from launching properly. I mean, sometimes I'll get past the "press any button" screen, but right after that I'll get an "unknown error", so... yeah.
For the sake of it, I've also tried with older versions of the Demaster, but the results are more or less the same.

Hi again.

I'm still having the same issue (yeah, figured I'd try again after all this time) and using the latest version of the game (my legal copy, from Steam) and Demaster (1320 EFIGS, the one with Japanese support) doesn't seem to change anything.

There's obviously something I must be doing wrong here, but for the life of me, I can't figure what.

If you have already used a UV patch fix before using demaster you will need to verify game cache on steam and update ff8 remastered to the latest patch to not get errors. you dont copy the whole texture folder over you have to copy the individual textures into their respective folders for example battlefield textures named a0stg will need to be copied into
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY VIII Remastered\DEMASTER_EXP\textures\battle.fs\hd_new

You also need to make sure other.zzz and main.zzz are both extracted to the DEMASTER_EXP folder

I mean, all the files in the archive already come in the appropriate folders, so it shouldn't really matter if I replace them one by one, or just drag them from the archive into the texture folder, under DEMASTER_EXP. In theory, they should already be where they should. (I checked, my a0stg files are indeed in DEMASTER_EXP\textures\battle.fr\hd_new)

I also have no idea what an UV patch even is, so there's absolutely no chance I've used one before. My FF8R installation is brand new and up to date, if that helps in any way. (Also tried re-installing from scratch, just for the heck of it, but it didn't make any difference.)


For the last part, I'm not sure what you mean, but I made sure the main.zzz and other.zzz files were indeed in the DEMASTER_EXP folder, and to my surprise, they weren't, but again, no difference. I still get the same errors, and I still don't know why. I'll try again from scratch, and try and see where things appear to break.

Thanks for your help.
