Damn you!!!!!! (Still problems with FF8!!!!)

[Asz]

Goddamn it, I am still having problems with blurryness/double vision when I use Pete's D3D plugin. But this ONLY happens whenever I get into a battle in FF8, otherwise everyother game (and every other part of FF8) is fine, wtf man!?

[Pete Bernert]

yo, bro, must be your *****ing card or the bl**dy plugin settings or it's a plugin child protection to prevent cursing: if you don't swear in front of your PC, the game will play fine, ehehe ;)

if his plugin didn't work out just right try others...

maybe you just expect too much with the plugin... but I know it is the best... so put up your setup and let us see... what did you do... and don't say anything in here with such a manner.

Maybe the CD has some problems? Scratches? Faulty?
Did it run on a normal PS?
I never had any problems with FF8 when I played it (maybe small ones which can fixed via plugin settings).

Then again I think it could also be your nice Video Card?

I had played FF8 on PS and it is working(all discs) but on the emulator... disc 3 hangs... Squall doesn't walk anymore... can move, but only on place(squall only move in place and can't walk out of that saving point)

Damn you Pete! You put in some magic code that makes FF8 suck on my PC :p

I would try other plugins but I like Petes because it makes FF8 look so *****ing good that its not funny.

Not a problem with the CD because it's an ISO from a scratch-free CD.

Might be my video card, I also have trouble running games with 32bit color on too.... But I don't mind not having 32bit color. Heres my current config:

Ugghhhh...... DAMN IT! I realized I had a bit of an old Plug-In (I was tipped off by the Hi-Res Texture option I hadn't seen before) SO I got the newest version and now everything works again! Yay! Now I feel kinda stupid, Pete do you have an e-mail list that will tell me when you make a new version?? I'm to lazy to go to your site..... Heh. :p

BTW, Nice call on the 2xSAI Pete! Everything looks Great :cool:
