FF8 isn't starting.
« on: 2011-02-27 17:10:11 »
Well, here is my problem : After tried Colly's battle Hardcore patch, I wanted to get back my backup, and so I did. But the prob froze and it never finished. Not a big issue since I reinstalled the game. Then I applied Aali's custom graphics drivers and booted the game. Then I got the "Oops, something very bad happened..." and it froze. I tried almost everything after, including not applying Aali's driver and install the game on another drive, uninstalled many times, nothing did it. This is now I request your help, because I know the problem isn't from Aali's driver since I cannot play it without neither than with. If you have an idea for something I could do that I may forget (say about everything - there may be some things that are obvious but that I could've missed), tell me. I've never had such an issue before.

EDIT : Sorry ^^

I (partially) resolved my problem. In fact, the crash was due to the 1.2 patch. It works all great with the original FF8.exe but Aali's driver doesn't support it. Would it be possible to adapt your driver so it works with 1.0 FF8.exe, Aali? It isn't a big issue to play Full Screen but I'd really like to be able to play windowed. Thanks in advance.

C'mon, Vgr, you know as well as anybody that there's an edit button for a reason.

Aali said FF8 is broken on 0.7.10b. It has nothing to do with the patch.

Try downgrading to 0.7.9b or 0.7.8b.

I did, but I know it is the patch. Why? Because I am on 0.7.9b AND I tried the patch along without his driver and it crashed. I can play fullscreen, but this do bothers me :P

Question to myself : Do I have a GeForce NVidia Card?...

EDIT : Doesn't work...
