To all nvidia users... that patch sucks if you have problems with those lines crossing screen you must disable option in aplication profile(nvidia control panel), in polish its names "ustawienia wygładania obrazu", in english its would be Setups image smooths Idont know exactly its first option from top. For somone who have virtual drive and have no cd reading, simply cut the power to your drive(put out cable). However on my geforce graphics sucks on my older card it was better. If anyone have something like unoficial patch wich is fixing that part msg me ihateu@o2.pl.

Ps. Sorry for my language, I know its bad...

Oh and if you can't read there is an option in nvidia control panel... You must center your monitor at upper-left corner that should make them much better visable.

I have gone with ATI so have not come across this problem, but a friend is using a Geforce and he managed to get around it by switching to Software mode if the config.

It's not an ideal solution, but if you are unable to find the option to switch off, it's worth a try.

I have a problem with CD 1.... I played the game with no problems until I am rinoa and I go to the sorceres with the gift, when rinoa gets unconcinous and the movie with the sorceres starts my game crashes.... Dunno what to do

My PC:
GF4 Ti
Celeron 2,4
512 RAM

Patched version (for GF), changed soft/3d acc, changed sound

Help

I forgot, I`m have Win XP

If it is crashing part-way through the movie, then it sounds like the movie file has become corrupt. This could be something as simple as cleaning the disc, but it might not be. Borrow a friends disc (if any of them have this game) and try it with their's. If it gets past the movie then you will probably have to replace the discs.

Dicky: I have the same problem as you..but i cant find a correct cds to make it work.Would you mind upload your disc1 & disc2.pak?Or perhaps send it to my email lee_yiman@hotmail.com

Been spending $$ on new dvds..none of them work..maybe due to the "all in 1" dvd version.I cant find the old 5-disc FF8 anymore.
Anyone have working disc1 and disc2 pls help me..
Thanks in advance:)

after the boss at the communication tower my game freezes

i have a amd sempron 3000+
1gb ram ddr
a geforce 6xxx series

what can be the freakin problem

I know this is a very old game..and a very old thread..but anyways I hope someone can help me with my problem. A friend game me pc-dvd disc saying I don't need disc 2 disc 3 and disc 4 since I havent played the game I didnt know what he was talking bout. Anyway I installed it to my laptop(windows vista) everything went fine till Squall fell off the clock tower and the game asked me to save so I did.. the problem occured when it asked me for the disc2 since my friend said I wouldnt need the disc I just pressed enter and it said "CAUTION" Wrong disc!"

So, I opened the read me file on this folder that has Patches and Fixes and it said to install patches then change the "DataDrive to the same as App Path on the registry which I dont know how..I tried renaming DataDrive to App Path. but whatever didnt help me with the disc2.. so read the readme file again and it said to delete the disc2 disc3 disc4 and rename disc1 to disc2 if it asks to insert disc2..well since that is my problem I tried deleting disc2 3 and 4 =.= but nothin happened..I right click on it and the Delete option isn't even there Y_Y I pressed DEL and nope still nothin..Do I delete the disc2 PAK? My friend is no help caz he went away...if you know what I mean...

It seems like Windows Vista works best for the ff8 pc version.

For Saikano25 there is nothing wrong with your pc or any of your software. All you have to do is insert disc 2. Since ff8 is an old game it's a CD(compactdisk) not a DVD disc, so you'll need to change disk once you've finished the previous one.

Almost forgot this will only work if your using an original cd game on your pc

hi i recently decided to download ff8 for my vista and downloaded it install, etc.

It finally brings me to the main menu and as soon as i hit NEW GAME, it quits on me. i dont think its a RAM problem knowing its 2 gigs worth. Any ideas?

cant fix my problem with disc 3.. it always gets me out of the game when i tried climbing the stairs in salt lake. how do i fix this?

I'm completely lost when it comes to patches and finding them. If anyone has been able to fix this problem, I'd be more than thankful.

I'm getting the chopped blocks in game, but the FMV's run perfectly. I've tried messing around on the NVIDIA control panel, but I'm a little lost. Is there an updated patch that I don't know about? If anyone has answers please email me at wasabizombie@hotmail.com
