Looking at the Ys VIII patch notes, I can only wish that every PC port (especially the ones from glorious nippon) got this attention to detail and care. Thanks for caring and being this passionate, Durante :).

The two NOLF games were so much fun it's crazy.
One of the best gaming nostalgia I have.
Great writing. So much variety. What a package I tell ya.
And that soundtrack, and main theme!
yes, absolutely ... can't wait for Stephen and co. to FINALLY unfuck all this goddamn mess and do remasters! :)

Am I stupid, or how can I access components, traits and effects of items? In the previous games you could press a button to access the item itself and get a description of what those did.

Hmm, downloaded Ys 8 after the update to test it out and the game crashes for me without fail on boot up. Tried reinstalling, validating, rebooting Steam, running from big picture, etc. and still instantly crashes on boot up. Anyone else having issues and/or know where the error logs are dumped so I can try to debug?

The encyclopedia should have everything you need.

Durante you are doing an amazing job, really happy to see that you are the one behind Ys 8 fix and CS3.
Wish you and your team an amazing journey with the rest of your projects, keep the good work. :blobhug:

I have top open the encyclopedia and search for the entry.
Instead of just clicking a button while I synthesize the item and see the effect and description right there, like in the previous games.

Looks like im not the only one not able to boot up the game checking the troubleshooting forums, well i left a message on there. Luckily I wasn't planning on playing this weekend since ys 7 is last on the list before I reach 8, but hopefully whatever it is gets fixed soon.

Hmm what directory is that under? I don't see anything in the local files.

Edit: nvm, found the Appdata directory, but nothing for Ys 8. Guess it's not dumping anything.
Sorry, i should have explained better.
Open File Explorer and type %APPDATA% in the address bar, it'll take you to the AppData\Roaming folder in your profile. If there's nothing there then check AppData\Local and AppData\LocalLow. I don't have the game so I've no idea what the folder name would be, probably Ys8 or Falcom though.

You can also get there through "C:\Users\UserName\AppData" if that helps.

Yeah I eventually found it, but unfortunately nothing for Ys VIII. I left a post in their troubleshooting forums and gave up, not like I was gonna play it this weekend anyway so it's no big deal, but I appreciate your help!

Played a bit of the port, and with everything cranked (except super-sampling, which I left where it's at by default), my OC'd Vega 56 was hovering around 40-50FPS! Turning HBAO+ off and Shadow Filtering to the non-soft setting and I'm usually around 70-80FPS.

Considering how small Ys VIII's zones actually are, there's like... no reason to have LoD higher than Far. Ultra is pointless and a waste of performance IMO. Still, game is looking great now!

Edit: Should say, this is @ 1440p.

I'm going to sleep now, it's late here, but hopefully we'll be able to figure this out tomorrow.

I'm sure it's been a long day, thanks again!

Update: I finally got the game to boot up. I uninstalled and reinstalled without installing any of the DLC and it successfully booted up, gonna play around with it and see if I can see what might have triggered it.

Update 2: looks like it's something with the texture pack specifically. I installed each DLC one at a time, booted up with no problems, and then did the texture pack last. After it finished installing I booted up and got the same crashing I had before.

I think this year will be a good year to get back to Ys then.
My play order is the original release order mainly because I would probably have hard time going back to the bump system after playing the later games.

Fuck my life, just saw the news about Nvidia slashing the price of the 2060 across the board. Between this and the Cyberpunk delay, I seriously picked the worst possible week to pull the trigger on my GPU upgrade lmao. :suicide-blob:

Thank FUCK for EVGA's step up program. Guess I'll upgrade to a 2060 in the near future. Sucks having to pay for shipping again, though...

Really hoping that Ampere offers a good upgrade, without an uptick in pricing for each tier again...

If a theoretical 3070 can even get close to a 2080 ti for $400-500, I'd upgrade in a heartbeat.

Thank you Durante, now i can continue my journey:



(+ Zero and AO).

Also Ys VIII looks glorious and plays so smooth now with the ubersampling + texture pack + my new gsync 165hz screen (getting 110+ fps with all that). Sadly i already completed the game 2 times at release.

Again, thank you for all your hard work.

Picked up my copy today. Now to shelf it for years. o_O

Still haven't beat Zelda, FE3H or Pokemon Sword lol. Working slowly but surely through them however.

Will be funny if next week KH3 announced for PC.

bruhhhhhh, the whole KH collection or bust!
(I would love this.)
=====================

Btw, anyone here have experience with reliably getting HDR to work on PC consistently and without breaking the color-scale in literally everything else on Windows?

Secondly, HDR is limited to 60hz on a TV right? Cuz HDMI2.0 limitations?

Edit: And it seems my 1080ti is limited as well? Since it's HDMI2.0a and not HDMI2.0b?

So... no 4K/10bit HDR for me? :(
