It's a well known bug.  It's been fixed for his next driver release.

...saying a little prayer. You know, Aali, if you can stand reading this: I'm sure we've all been terrifically annoying (especially me) throughout this period since the last custom driver release, but I just hope you can get some pleasure knowing the overwhelming joy and excitement so many people around the world will feel when you finish and post it. I've mellowed just slightly since I came to the site some three years ago, but I will literally jump around like a 4 year old when it happens.

Is there no donation setup for the driver developer? I'm preparing to do some donating soon... when Reunion MO is released at least.

Heck I'd donate to help with server costs if there were a simple way to do so. Is there?

Well this is why I agree the driver should be released periodically, and not in 2 year intervals :P  Some of these bugs are being reported time and time again, and no one knows what has been fixed.  I second the donation thing, I'd donate to Aali, that's for sure.
 
Third for the donating. And DLPB can attest that I actually will donate :D
 
I'm guessing aali doesn't want or need donations, doesn't want negative attn. from square.
 
I have been hoping against hope to find here an announcement for the new driver release in the past two (!) years, checking almost every day.

I would gladly donate myself if it helped anything but I don't think that's the case.
 
Hello,

Sorry but, I wanna know if someone could reupload Aali's driver for FF8.
I don't know what's the latest (I saw ff8_opengl-0.2a.zip) but all the links are dead.

Because I installed RaW.exe but now I don't have sound (because I didn't installed Aali's driver first).
What should I do after having the Aali's driver? Remove RaW.exe, install Aali's driver than install RaW.exe ?
 
Make sure that you use latest aalis driver, then make sure that ff8_opengl.cfg has this line at the bottom

load_library = "RaW"

I would like to use it, but all the links (for FF8) are dead.

That's why I ask to reupload the latest driver for FF8
 
I sent him a quite detailed pm... Unless I can't help him don't bother DLPB
 
Curt, the drivers have been merged. So there isn't an f8 driver anymore. Just v0.7.11b. it works for both FF7 and FF8
 
Ok thanks ^^

Well... I searched about my problem. There's almost the same prob here : https://www.ff7catalog.com/threads/6510/ (deifyer's message)

I did everything (Even add the line "load_library = "RaW"")

But when I try to play (if I click on FF8.exe or FF8_Launcher.exe) I got this error message "Failed to load custom driver.".
But! If I remove eax.dll I'm able to play (with FF8.exe and FF8_Launcher.exe), but now, with the installation of RaW.exe I just have the sound, and no music. (and I write the line "load_library = "Raw").
 
MMmm? I see nothing like this, in my settings options.

FF8config.exe :
I got 4 tabs :
- "Current Settings" (I can't do anything, it just display what are my settings)
- "Graphics" Display :
                                  - "Primary Display Drivers" (It's the only option)
                                  - "Renderer" I have the choice between "Direct3D hardware acceleration" or "Software renderer" I tried the both. (The same result)
- Resolution
- Movie resolution
- Performances option

It's the FF8 Configuration V1.00, I tried to play with FF8 Configurator 2.2 but I go the same error...
 
It should be noted that you need the non-geforce patch.

But for the correct language please,
look here


Did you go to FF8Config and select custom graphics driver?
Click to expand...
Not needed for FF8 ;D


But! If I remove eax.dll...
Click to expand...
... you play without Aalis driver  ;D
This dll provides only that the driver is used at all.

I would like to point out that I updated the first post with a FAQ section. I suggest giving it a read for those who have issues. It sums up what has been said in the 30+ pages of this thread. Took me a good 2 hours to put together so I hope it doesn't go to waste >_>

Can't say I have time (and patience) to read all 36 pages so I just ask here: is the driver compatible with the re-release? If so - what are the known issues so far?
 


Getting this with Aali's driver installed. Fresh install of the game, replaced the files with 1.02, re-downloaded the driver and copied it to the folder and selected the driver in ff7config.exe. Haven't changed anything in the .cfg file yet. Running on Windows 7 64bit if that matters.
