2025-03-08 17:13:03 +0000 UTCEvery now and again I have hope that the updates to this mod pack will be quality. So I pay the $5, download the mods, and try them out. Every time I'm left wondering why we bother paying this guys rent. None of the downloads have intuitive names. You have to read the descriptions to even have a clue what they're going to update. Bugs, bugs, and more bugs. And the installer has been "Coming very soon" for 8 years. This is the worst managed project I've had the displeasure of supporting.

2025-02-23 09:01:13 +0000 UTCYeah. I ran into missing textures and messed up textures on enemies with this mod. I am going to re-install and not use it. Also, the game is trying to kick me out after I installed it.

2025-02-23 01:28:30 +0000 UTCHave you run into any crashing issues? I've found quite a few missing textures right after the SeeD exam test results, in the dorms. NVM, just read the full post up top, lol.

2025-02-07 20:58:02 +0000 UTCHello MCindus, can you tell us how to fix the shiva invocation that crash the game ? I also have installed the mods in the right order but some monsters textures are messed up like others said it before, can you help us please ?

2025-02-05 20:13:10 +0000 UTCThe Lunar Cry 2.1 mod works fine. Just donβt install the demaster patch linked here because it will break it. For those using Steam Deck, I recommend not installing the Rebirth and Lionheart mods because they make the game stutter badly when battle stars and it loads the party members. Not a big deal but I found it annoying after a while. These are the mods I have on my Steam Deck that work great: 1) Field Texture Remastered 2) Lunar Cry 2.1 3) Angelwing with the demaster patch included in the pinned Angel Wing post 4) Horizon 5) Triple Triad 6) Battlefield Pack Ultima 7) FF8 FMVs CG4x (available on the mod discord) 8) Ragnarok Rebalancing Mod (this is like the New Threat mod for ff7, recommended!) How to install on Steam Deck: Install the FF8 Remastered game through Steam on your Steam Deck, open it once then close. Mod the game on a Windows PC , transfer and overwrite all the game contents to your Steam Deck. Then add the following launch command to the game on your Steam Deck: export WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b"; %command%

2025-01-29 13:36:04 +0000 UTCHi everyone! I found out that FTM is field texture remastered by visiting the mod Discord, you can get the mod files there. However it looks like there are multiple bugs in this version of Lunar Cry with missing textures; I myself encountered missing textures with NPCs at the library in Balamb and also summoning Shiva crashes the game. Other people were having these issues on the mod Discord so I think I will wait to replay this game until they are fixed. Thank you for all your work!

2025-01-28 17:04:43 +0000 UTCWould greatly appreciate a steamdeck installer?

2025-01-20 05:43:27 +0000 UTCShiva, Carbuncle, & GIM47N textures not showing correctly. Replaced Shiva with Originals and shows correct. Also had issue with Siefer at end of Disk 1 showing as Grey then CTD. Removed Demaster folder for end and no CTD. Not sure if it is this mod though. Otherwise great mod.

2025-01-17 23:06:43 +0000 UTCWhere can I download FMT, rebirth flame and lionheart ? Nothing on this patreon and even don't find bu google them... Also, is this mod working in other languages ?

2025-01-17 09:51:11 +0000 UTCHi this mod has made the galbaldia soldiers and ifrit look messed up like thereβs something wrong with the textures of a lot of enemies. Everything was installed in order so I donβt know whatβs going on with enemy textures. P.S playing on a steam deck with demaster

2025-01-14 05:29:10 +0000 UTCFor me it was easier to install it with DEMASTER on PC and copy all files to the steam deck e.g. with winpinator / warpinator

2025-01-13 17:42:08 +0000 UTCYes! It currently does, so I'll have to do a steam deck installer as well!

2025-01-09 15:59:11 +0000 UTCEverytime I wonder how this is coming along an update will pop up, I'm excited for the final product! I haven't paid attention lately, MCindus, will the mod work on steam deck?
