Missing Effects in FFVIII

[Patorik]

I've gotten back into playing FF8, but for some reason this time I'm having a minor graphical issue. It seems that a few visual effects aren't showing up. So far the only ones I notice are the bats & electricity during Diablos' summon, and the black cloud effect that appears when someone/something's been blinded.

Any thoughs on what happened? It never happened before, so I get the feeling it has something to do with the way I've set things up. I've got the Geforce patch v1.2 and FF8 Launcher, and all my drivers are updated fully.

It's not exactly game-breaking or anything, just a nuisance, but still any help would be appreciated.

Don't worry, everyone that uses the launcher have these issues. It is one of the launcher issues that still needed to be fixed.

Unfortunately, the original creator has stopped working on the launcher. He released the source though, so we'll have to wait for a skilled person to take over.
