FF8 - Black screen in Balamb Fields

[zword]

Hi, weird thing happening when I'm leveling up in the fields near Balamb Garden. I opened my menu to sort out Magic, Junction, etc, but when I switch back to the fields, the screen turns pitch black :( The Blue Field music is still playing in the background, but nothing happens to when I press anything. Wondering if this is a common glitch, or someone's had the same problem before? Any help out there? Thanks.

That's in the first disk, by the way :)

what are your computer specs and what plugins are you using?

Hey there, thanks for the reply, but I solved it :emb:
I started clicking random options, and turns out the change disk option undid the bug (though I just canceled it and went back to the game). Don't really get how that works, but it did solve my problem. Again, thanks.
