Dragging and dropping the gunblade/gradient textures folder into your DEMASTER_EXP texture folder will only overwrite the files in the "en" folder for the English version of the game. If you are using a different language you will have to make sure the files are moved to the correct language folder. Make sure the files get copied correctly to their icon folders by navigating to the correct DEMASTER_EXP folder for each file and double check that the gunblade and gradient files are there. Replace "en" with your game language if needed. ...\DEMASTER_EXP\textures\hires\iconfl00.tex\en\1 ...\DEMASTER_EXP\textures\hires\iconfl01.tex\en\1 ...\DEMASTER_EXP\textures\hires\iconfl01.tex\en\2 ...\DEMASTER_EXP\textures\icon.tex\en\1 ...\DEMASTER_EXP\textures\icon.tex\en\2 If all else fails, then try copying the files into the textures folder again. I know it doesn't help much but I went through the install process from the beginning on my and everything seems to be working.

@@VestikStudio Thank you so much, i put the testures in the wrong folder but after following what you wrote, it fixed everything. thank you so much.

Sorry to hear that. Those backgrounds are found in the Project AngelWing v3.0 files. You can try copying those files over again to overwrite the existing files to see if that fixes the issue. Are there any other mods you've noticed that don't seem to have installed correctly on your end?

@@VestikStudio finally it works. Dont know what the problem was but copying it over again fixed the issue. The other MODS run just fine at the moment so i can finally enjoy a better looking game. :D

I'm planning on doing one, but I don't know when I'll have the time to put a video together. There is an older video guide here from Zaeld: th-cam.com/video/w-YGWcKTSEc/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared&t=404 He walks you through these steps found on the QHIMM forums: forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=18415.0 When you get to the 11:30 mark he says to use "SHIFT + F2" to open up the ReShade menu in-game. There is a comment that says that is no longer the shortcut and it has been changed to the "HOME" or "WIN" key instead. I haven't done much with ReShade so I hope that video is enough to get you started with it. I would recommend skipping any GeDoSaTo steps in both my video and his. Good luck!

I've never installed it on a Steam Deck but I think you just need to add an extra launch command. Check out this link and see if it helps: steamcommunity.com/app/1026680/discussions/0/3593339057329933860/

Are you using any additional mods? Have you tried doing a clean install of the game before adding the Requiem files?

@@VestikStudio Yes yes i uninstaled all and deleted from pc and did all steps u said but its the same,before even "new game,continue" that error comes

@@Albert-x6r Were you able to run the game after the reinstall but before adding the mod files? Can you type out the full error message?

@@VestikStudio Yes,the message is "error,an unknown exception ocurred"before SQUARESOFT appears

But the game works good without install any mod

No apologies necessary! Progress is good! Next time I start another FF8 playthrough I might think about doing an update video if it's needed but hopefully by that time all the mods will be compatible with FFNx.

It should still work. Try both fixes and if neither works for you then let me know and I will see if there is another way to get the game running.

The only way I'm aware of is to stretch the game with another program like ReSharper.

If your system has uefi secure boot enabled then I wouldn't worry about using GeDoSaTo. The graphic improvements aren't worth the tradeoff for turning uefi secure boot off since it's a windows security feature. There are other programs, like ReShade, you can look into that do the same thing but better.

@@VestikStudio ok then

Most, if not all, of the mods should work with the Spanish version of the game. I'm not sure how complete the text files are for Spanish but all the other textures will work.

The Remastered versions are for the Remastered version of FF8, not this version. I believe Ragnarok is compatible with these mods as well.

Which mod are you trying to find the keys for? If this is an error message, what message are you seeing? Most of these mods are drag-and-drop and shouldn't require any type of decoding keys. The only one that requires much setup is GeDoSaTo and I don't recommend using it anymore as it's hit or miss depending on your PC setup and the improvement it provides is negligible.

Sounds like it could be an issue with GeDoSaTo. With the amount of issues I've seen in the comments I would recommend launching the game without GeDoSaTo running to see if that fixes anything.

@@VestikStudio Thanks for taking the time to reply. I attempted to configure GeDiSaTo, with no luck. I took your advice and stopped it from running and found everything worked perfectly. Thanks again for the video and help :)

That's correct. Echo S8 is not compatible with these mods. It takes priority over them so the mod textures don't end up get loaded. You can either have Echo S8 or the texture mods installed but not both. Efforts are currently ongoing to get these mods compatible with the FFNx mod manager tool that would allow you to have both the texture mods and Echo S8 installed at the same time.

@@VestikStudio Thanks this just answered my question. Because the Gedo Soto wasn't working. I change screen resolution in the files and nothing just a Hour Glass. And this makes sense when I deactivate Gedo Soto it starts working again.

Since I've upgraded my PC GeDoSaTo hasn't worked for me at all so I can't troubleshoot it anymore. If you want something that does the same thing but better, you can try ReShade. It has better support and there are a bunch of tutorials on how to set it up to work with your games.

@@VestikStudio I just gave up and played at 4k resolution since that's what the highest was. It seemed to work fine. GeDoSaTo itself says everything is okay, but the resolutions don't show up in game. Thanks for the great tutorial. If only there was a way to make the game truly 60fps instead of just making the animations faster.

SeeDReborn is the UI mod that changes the icons. You can find the files with the stat icons in in "..\textures\ic\iconfl02" and "..\textures\ic\iconflmaster". I'm not sure what would happen if you removed the files from those folders, but it might use the original game icons if it can't find the modded files. If that doesn't work then I think it would be easiest to do a clean install and not install the SeeDReborn mods. The ControllerButtons mod is dependent on SeeDReborn so if you end up not using SeeDReborn at all then make sure you don't use the ControllerButton mod either.

After you run the Roses and Wine installer as administrator are there any files in your "..\FINAL FANTASY VIII\RaW\GLOBAL\Music" folder? It should work after it finishes running without you having to move any files around on your own. Try running Roses and Wine and checking the "Uninstall this mod (ignores all options above)" option to uninstall it. Then run it again and select the tracks you want to see if it was just a software hiccup when you ran it the first time.

@@VestikStudio after running installer there are files in raw\global\music and installer makes backup of data\dmusic folder, and in options ini use ogg is y, i tried uninstall but it's the same...now installed raw w03b steam edition, and it does work with that, i noticed it creates new ff8_launcher.exe and original is renamed to ff8_launch2.exe and instead ddraw.dll it has raw.dll....also some tracks are missing in w03b that are in w07...i guess i could try manually copy all ogg from w07 to w03b

From what I've seen in the comments GeDoSaTo is hit or miss. If it's not working for you then don't worry about using it. It doesn't offer much of a visual payoff anyways. If you enjoy playing around with the graphical quality, then there are other programs like ReShade that you can try instead.

GeDoSaTo has caused problems for many people so if you ended up installing it try running the game without it. Other than that, I would recommend removing the mod files from your game folder and doing a clean install of your game so you can install each mod one at a time and run the game so you can see which mod is giving you that error.

The only thing that comes to mind is to make sure you are installing these on the 2013 Steam version (original port) of the game and not the Remastered version. There is another set of mods for the Remastered version. These mods aren't compatible with the Remastered version. If you have the right version of the game for these mods then your best chance at troubleshooting would be to remove the mods and install them one at a time and run the game between each one you install to see if there is a certain mod that is keeping your game from launching properly.

@@VestikStudio Thanks so much, sorry for such a late reply. I will try 1 by 1 and see how that works. EDIT: I reinstalled the game through steam, its not the remastered version. I did step one, the visual ++, no problems there. I did step 2, and the game will not start...lol...any ideas? I just deleted the tonberry enhanced files and it works fine...

​@@tarrantking289have you tried reinstalling the latest direct-x?

There are a few different textures you can choose from. You can see the comparisons here: forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=16022.0

The Roses and Wine link on this page has the files to mod the music thereunion.live/software.html The URL has been updated since I made this video. I have updated it in the video description.

The Tonberry mods are for the 2013 Steam version of the game. The Demaster files are for the 2019 Remastered version of the game. It sounds like you are using the Remastered version of the game so the Demaster files are the ones you want to use.

Thanks for pointing that out! I've updated the link in the video description: thereunion.live/software.html

ty

Have you loaded a save or started a new game yet? The splash screen before the title screen will always show keyboard inputs. Start a game and open the menu and you can check out the buttons under Config -> Controller -> Customize.

I have copy/paste the buttons folder before launching the game, then i load my saved game. When i go to config > controller > customize there is still letters… (sorry for my french english !)

@@VestikStudioi have customized controller in steam ( community customize )

@@MrNanomac Are you using the French version of the game? If you are, make sure you downloaded the French version of SeedReborn since different language versions of the game map textures differently and could be the reason your buttons aren't getting updated. forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=15320.0 If that's not the fix, then read through the Controller Button comments in forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=15905.0 to see what others did to fix this issue. There are a few comments that have problems similar to yours. I don't know how the files are set up for different language versions of the game so troubleshooting will be a bit slow on my end. I will post anything else I find that may help you fix the button problem.

@@MrNanomac Here is a link to a reply that might help as well. forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=15905.msg223669#msg223669

I really appreciate that! I'm glad the video format worked well for you!

NVM, I think I fixed it, I play on a 4k monitor, and I set the settings to double the resolution on the settings (from my normal 3840x2160 to 7000x4320), which gave me the small screen, when i went to down scale it to my normal 3840x2160, it now shows full screen with writing in the upper left corner "down sampling 1 level 3840x2160->3840x2160 lancos scaling"

@@bassx101 I'm glad you got it figured out!

@@VestikStudioQuestion bud, I'm watching a few let's plays on youtube, is there a mod that allows you to save whenever? or is that something they gave with the remastered edition?

@@bassx101 As far as I'm aware you can save anywhere on the world map but you need a save point in towns and dungeons. I'm not aware of any mods that allow you to save anywhere without a save point in towns and dungeons.

@@VestikStudio gotcha and thanks clearly user error, "My Bad" you're awesome!

If you used the button files from check the file in your folder to make sure the file copied over correctly. I've also noticed that if I start my game before I turn on my controller I will get the keyboard buttons instead of my controller buttons.

@@VestikStudio I seem to have found a fix, I was using the Main when HID ones seem to work for me. Also I wasn't actually checking the config most of the time but just the first screen that says the keyboard key bindings that would make me think it wasn't working

@@SJ-bt6ym Nice!

Angelwing isn't publicly released yet so I didn't include it in this video. You can find that mod on the creator's Patreon with a SeeD membership ($2) www.patreon.com/mcindusmods He is planning on a public release very soon. Hopefully in the next week or so.

remastered cant use the succession mod though i dont think which is very much needed imo

That mod is garbage. It just makes the game into a bad fanfic.
