DEMASTER now Compatible!
Added 2021-12-12 20:28:59 +0000 UTCAfter a very arduous move, I've finally settled in and bring with me a new update!
HUGE NEWS!
Maki has worked absolute magic yet again! A new DEMASTER that is compatible with the new FF8:R patch is HERE!
Please let us know if you run into any issues with this release! It includes many new updates that were previously not in the 1.2.8a release such as:
- DDS support for Field, Battlefield, and World textures
- Improved cache for PNG texture loading
- Battlefield Animation texture paging support
-------------------------------------------------------------
In the next few days I will be releasing updated Ultima versions of the Battlefield Pack and HorizonPack (world textures) which will be available for Early Access to my Patrons!
Keep posted here over the Holidays for more!
Thank you and Happy Modding!

"You need to make sure you install DEMASTER v1300 and then install the files from v1302 over it. You can leave your DEMASTER_EXP folder alone." -MCindusMODS This worked.

2022-04-19 05:46:42 +0000 UTCFirst, I did play the game unmoded. I then followed this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMxupLpIFr4 I mistakenly followed it too close and selected the dinput8.dll down to FFVIII_Launcher The game loaded with some things changed but the backgrounds were still blurry I noticed that demaster.conf was missing when loading and rechecked the video at 15:00 mark where I discovered that the files are not the same Then I checked this thread which said not to copy DEMASTER FFVIII_Launcher.exe So I uninstalled everything. Clean sweep. Reinstalled. Played game unmoded again. New game. Save. Exit. Followed instructions without DEMASTER FFVIII_Launcher.exe Included demaster.conf When it tries to launch it reads DEMASTER: :ApplyUvPatch: :The addresses are wrong! We found no ADD byte ptr[esi+8] at given rel call Shuts down After trying a few more times I uninstalled everything again and reinstalled it. Played unmoded again. Read above again. I am not seeing a config.txt file in my FF8 folder, is this my issue? Update: In my Documents\My Games\FF8 Remastered\Steam\[17 digit Steam address]\ there is a config.txt file My SteamID is properly labeled on the folder Update 2: If I open demaster_manager, demaster options, and turn off battle_hook I am able to get the game to play but the background is still blurry. Update 3: I turned battle_hook back on and now the game loads with everything selected. But it's still blurry.

2022-04-11 23:40:48 +0000 UTCHi MCindus thanks for the incredible job first of all! As a Patron I need some help: >I cannot find the AngelWing Ultima HD download for the remaster on here anymore. Can you please confirm if it's still available to download or not? >Fortunately I was able to download the HD Pack back in October/November and it all worked fine with the Demaster, however after Square decided to patch FF8 RE on Steam as you know the Demaster stopped working. I have now got the updated Demaster so I just replaced it to the old files but the HD field backgrounds are not being loaded at all - Can you please give us an update on whether it's supposed to work? A troubleshooting guide would be good :) Many thanks and keep up the great work!

2021-12-15 19:46:27 +0000 UTCI'm sorry but I'm having trouble seeing all posts on Patreon (Patreon and my Ips fault): are there any news regarding Lunatic Pandora: Remastered? Do we have all files for a manual installation? PS: thx for the great work :D
