Final Fantasy 8 graphics issue

[PlayerZero 0]

I got final fantasy 8 PC version working under windows XP, but when I play there are horizontal lines about every inch across the screen. I have tried all of the 'compatability' modes, and have the latest drivers for my card and such. Any suggestions?

Hey friend i see you got it working but your getting lines....

 

well to fix the lines you wil have to lower the hardware acceleration under display properties-advanced-Troubleshoot tab

 

lower the hardware acceleration there one bar at a time test the game and it should get better ...well it worked for me on my Nvidia Geforce 6600

 

.... but i still have a issue with the game i have black blocks in the game around main objects in the game its not very nice

 

well anyways i hope i have helped you

Browse to FF8 game dir.

Locate and launch FF8Config.exe.

Select Graphics tab. Select 'Direct3D Hardware Acceleration' as your Renderer. OK.
