I�m going thru an old box of random stuff and come across FF8 and figure �hey that�d be fun to play again.� Unfortunately, during the opening sequence it crashes to desktop. I�ve done plenty of searching and found plenty of other people with the same problem, but no one with any working solutions. Oddly enough, when I downloaded the demo it ran the dancing scene that crashes for so many other without difficulty. But I�m getting off the point...
I�m giving up on trying to fix the problem, I�ve tried every suggestion I�ve come across, and am hoping that if I could get a save game from someone immediately after the opening that I could play the rest of the game. However, the only save games I�ve been able to find are right before the final and/or ones where all the characters are maxed out. Could I get a saved game from someone saved from the very first possible save point?

Saved game after opening?

i can send you one if you want... but my main char is named NDDM. is that a problem?

why don't you look in some ff8 sites? i bet you'll find some in there.

sry to get off topic but i used to live in California for the first 13 years of my life
go Cali :D

Ditto. I don't think I could have said it better myself.

I had the same problem and it fixed with a patch for geforce vga.I think i have a save after the opening sequence but is on my other HDD which i gave it to a friend of mine =( when i get my HDD i'll send it to u hehehehehe

Might wanna pay more attention to the post dates --- the thread was started on the 2nd of the month and it's now the 28th. So hopefully the problem has long been solved.

just wanted to help!
