Yes sure! I got it working with the default launcher..but when i use the ff8+ or the hex for the add ons, always appears this Black square

I fixed the issue.  For me, I had to revert back to FF8_Launcher and then I made a fix for all languages.

Uninstall/Reinstall my mod using the new download:
1.  Delete the FF8_EN (or whatever language yours is.) folder in GeDoSaTo/config
2.  Delete the FF8_Launcher (and/or FF8_Launch2) folder in GeDoSaTo/config
3.  Delete the whitelist_user.txt file in GeDoSaTo/config
4.  Re-download the mod and select your proper language!
5.  Put all of the files in the 'config' folder into your 'GeDoSaTo/config' folder (or just merge the folders).

This should work like a beauty.  If GeDoSaTo is working correctly, you will only have one higher resolution to choose from (at different refresh rates)... so if you have a bunch of different ultra high resolutions that you can pick from (4xxx - 7xxx) etc., then you have the wrong files in the wrong places.

In other words:  Check the new release!  Download for RaW W04 fix!

Hi, new poster here. c:
I've managed to make most of the mods on this forum work without problems, but after working on this particular one for over a day now, I turn to you good folks for some help. At first I couldn't choose the resolution I placed into the FF8_Launcher config (3840x2400) but after updating RaW to it's latest version that's no longer an issue. My problem now is that when I try to play with the custom res the game launches in a small window with a larger black box over it (when I don't use FF8+.exe to launch, it's the same but without the overlying black box). When switching it from full screen to windowed in the launcher's options, the windowed mode gets much larger but still not ideal to play on. The tool definitely improves the gameplay on my native resolution (1920x1200) thanks to the SweetFX, but not being able to get the downsampling aspect of it to work is a bummer.

Edit: Downsamples correctly when I use the default 3840x2160 instead of the 3840x2400 I added, though I have to change my moniter's res to 1920x1080.

I downloaded your new config and at begin i got the same Black square with the ff8+ shortcut but after i edited some setting on gedosato and now everything works very well..thanks =)
 
Hey guys.

Loving all the work that you do on here for FFVII, but I had to sign up as I cannot get this to work at all. I'm pretty sure I've followed the instructions right 3 times now, but when I launch the game Via FF8+, I have no option to select the higher resolution I set -up in the launcher settings. I don't know where I am going wrong now.

Any help would be great appreciated.

edit: Okay, scratch that. I enabled Anti-Aliasing, and now it's giving me the options.

It should only be giving you one new resolution option (at 3840x2160) with different refresh rates.  If it's giving you more, you've messed with your default GeDoSaTo.ini - make sure that is still default and if you want to change settings, change them in FF8_Launch/GeDoSaTo.ini or FF8/GeDoSaTo.ini  Some people try to mess with the default file to get things to work, but I recommend going in fresh.  Anti-Aliasing is already enabled if you put the FF8 and FF8Launch folders into the GeDoSaTo config folder.

Sorry, I missed this. I didn't have any resolution options at the time. All is fine now. A belated Thank You, anyways for offering some insight.
 
Not sure if you see my post if I modified my post above.

Anyways, everything is good and running perfect with all the other mods, except my battle rendered background look like this...

Any changes i've made have not effected anything else, yet I seem anything I do doesn't sort this out.

It this an issue relating to GeDoSaTo or possibly the Horizon Eden mod? I did leave a message on your youtube but though I might catch a response here quicker.

Thanks

The backgrounds I posted are a work in progress - but I guess I could post it as a WIP since I now have a lot more on my plate than before....

Ah right. Well that explains it then. I won't deny that it would be good to implement what you have so far(mainly being that staring at pixelated backgrounds is offending my eyes), but of course it's up to you -I don't mind. I suppose you'll need someone other than yourself to see if they all working for other smoothly?

Hey Mcindus, first of all.. thx for all your mods! they are awesome and work great. The only on issue left is the black box at the right upper corner when i'm using GeDoSaTo. I've tryed your fix but with no luck! its not that big deal, I can switch to desktop and back to the game and the black box isnt there anymore... but it would be nice if I could fix that.
 
Hi McIndus, thank you for all your hard work. The issue I am having is that while using Gestado Raw Music is no longer working. The music in the opening cutscene worked and sound effects are working. But the rest isn't. So here's what I'm doing, starting up Gestado, then ff8+exe which is giving me the error  "Attempting to load file by name FF8.exe...failed". Then I start up the ff8_launcher and the game. So yea, no music, not sure what I'm doing wrong. When I installed Raw 04 I put the two filed in my ff8 directory then I ran the launcher as an administrator and selected DLPB's selection.

After you select DLPB's selection, you must change the version from 2000 to 2013, because the setting gets put back to 2000 by default.  Try reinstalling and go through the steps you described above - it sounds like you're on the right track.

Yesterday I read through the Roses and Wine thread so it must of been something like you said. I changed the INI to point to ff8_en or whatever instead of ff8.exe. Thank you McIndus.
 
Edit: Nevermind, I seem to have some other problem, I just verified this happens even with out GeDoSaTo installed. Though if any one has a clue and wants to chime in, it'd be appreciated.

So I'm having a problem, when I try to run FF8 (or FF7) with GeDoSaTo active, I get this message when the game actually starts (After clicking play on the launcher screen): "Failed to Create useful Direct3D device"

There is a black screen, a windows error box with that message, and the mouse is invisible. Hitting return or escape closes the screen out and returns to the launcher.

And to be clear, this is the Steam version. And I just updated to the latest GeDoSaTo.

I'm doing exactly but that is in the instructions in the launcher, I can not select a higher resolution 1920x1080 except when activated GeDoSaTo. can someone help me further? :(
 
You should be able to use it for the steam version. For the original PC release is Aali's driver enough, because it has the option to Downsample already implemented and supports any resolution. For SweetFX effects I recommend http://reshade.me/
 
Helllo Mcindus. First of all id like to say awesome job on all the mods. Im just having a lot of trouble getting this one to work. I updated to RaW final version then copied config folder and merged. Launch Gedosato or w.e and then the FF+ launcher and im not getting an option for the 2x res. I get a black console box that says something failed though. Not a huge deal but this mod is a nice bow on top of all the others. Hope you can help thanks.

Did you make sure you entered/used the proper resolution in the config file?  It replaces the 640x480 resolution, so when you open your resolution settings in FF8, the pull-down should have a list of your new available resolutions if you scroll to the bottom.  What is your monitor's resolution/refresh rate? Do you have a screenshot of your FF8 settings?  BTW the 'failed' is a normal part of how DLPB's HextLaunch tool works - it will say that until you hit 'play' in the launcher.
 
hello plz help :) my monitor is 1920x1080 60hz 32 inches (i dont think it matters anyway) can i play with gedosato at 7680x4320 ? can you copy paste the ini files or something?cause im really confused thanks !
