I have a number of crashes I'm having trouble sorting out. They happen at the same spots, and only with this driver. (I installed FF8 on another computer, no mods, and it works like it should.) Forgive me if I'm hesitant to upload the crash dump - it's a whopping 70-ish Mb, after all. On your say-so, though, I can upload it to Mediafire.

And now I've discovered another bug/random glitch in FF8: Eyes. With this driver, Quistis's eyes always semmed to be closed in the beginning, even when I remember they should be open. It's a small thing, but eventually solving it adds polish.

Updated with the latest crash information - this time when you meet Ellone at the Training center.
I'm declarin' this to be untenable... Too many random crashes. I'll continue with an unmodified install on another computer (powered by ATI - curiously, FF8 must be the only game ever to actually benefit from their morphological AA), while keeping an eye on how this is coming along.

I'm declarin' this to be untenable... Too many random crashes. I'll continue with an unmodified install on another computer (powered by ATI - curiously, FF8 must be the only game ever to actually benefit from their morphological AA), while keeping an eye on how this is coming along.
