FF8 Graphics Bug - All 'Blocky'..

[eraclea]

Theh', one Problem solved (by deleting the Eidos Logo Movie ^^v) - the next occurs...

Well, look: http://www.ani-matrixx.de/anited/data/media/14/ff8.JPG

This is how it looks... All blocky everywhere two textures should merge...
Looked even worse before I applied the GeForce Patch by Square, had the look of FSAA enabled all the time while it wasn't.
The Patch solved the FSAA 'look-alike' problem, but not this one...

(Specs:)
Athlon 64 3400+
Nvidia GF 6800 GT

FSAA and AA are both off...
Tried Drivers from 66.xx up to 77.30 (everyone, believe me, even the modded )
Tried to disable all stuff possible in GraCa menu... (Vertical Sync, etc.)
Tried various other stuff (reinstalling, re-reinstalling, using an ISO instead of the original CD...)

And still, no solution in sight  

Might anyone here know this problem and/or has a tipp how to get rid of it?

Thanks...

(Note: Could play in Software mode, but not until everything possible has been tried *grin*)

You've got a geforce graphics card; you need the patch!

This is a known problem on geforce 6 cards.
This is probably a wrong blending of textures.
I have not found any solution to resolve this problem , and i do not have
any nvidia email address to ask them about that driver bug.

So for now  geforce 6 owner can play ff8 comfortably  only in software mode.

Only, what can I help is: try not-original drivers.
I prefer Omega Drivers. Some games works better than on original drivers.
For example, MGS2 Substance doesn't work on new original drivers.

I tried every driver out there I could find. DHZeropoint, Omega, blah... ^^

Hmm, I haven't got this problem in FF7.. I play FF7 with 1.02 patch in Hardware / TNT2 mode I think, without FSAA or AA... and got no problems, only in FF8...

Did you even bother to read my specs?  
there it says:

<- Somehow implies that I have the Patch installed, or not    hehe ^^

Anyway, thanks for the overview about if or if not to fix... Seems I have to use my old P2 400 MHZ / RivaTnT2 to play FF8 *goes and sets up old PC* ^^
