Author Topic: FF8 Crash.. (Read 6294 times)

My FF8 Constantly crashes when walking of the boat at the War-area with Seifer, Squall and Zell (you know.. the place you go to when your gonna get your SeeD exame).
Anyway, It doesn't crash at once when walking of the boat, you know first you are in the screen with the boat on the beach where quistis reminds you to equip your GF, when you exit that screen the game crash.
When it crash it looks exactly as if you press Alt-F4, only difference is that you are not actually pressing alt-F4

Anyway, thought I should give you some info on my comp too.
I use a Tbird 1333, 256mb sdram, Geforce 2 ti200 and Windows XP prof.
(and yes, I have installed the latest GF patch.)

I hope you guys can help me out in some way

Try using Windows Compatibility Mode...

Windows compatibility mode?
What is that?

Right click on your FF8 executable, there should be this compatibility thingy which you should be able to use.

I see, I will try that right away.

You can change a lot of things here, I assume you should run it in compatibility mode for windows 98?

hmmm, When switching to Win98 compatibility mode it still crashes but in another way, insted of just closing itself down it freezes, screen turns black and music hooks up.

hehe...

If you post your save game on the net and provide the link someone will take you past this bit im sure.

Try switching to software rendering to get pass that part.

Also are you using the latest Detonator drivers? That might help. I'm also using GeForce2 (Pro) <I'm on WinXP Home though> and I didn't have any problems with it in FF8.

Can't think of any possibility why it crashes....

Jedi, that's a good idea, will do that!
hmm, if any ones interested in helping me out with that just add me @ ICQ so I can send the Savefile!

Send me the file via E-mail..... *if* I have the time I'll give it a go but my life is so busy at the moment I rarely get time to play computer games. :weep:
