Invisible Irvine + crash (back after fix)

[Vadigor]

Installed Demaster and some mods for the first time last week, right before 1.0.3.0 actually hit. It was running FF8R_Demastered_1320_EFIGS + 1302-prealpha. I ran into the Invisible Irvine bug (#19 and related). I then updated Demaster to latest version but instead of an invisible texture got a shadowy/glitched texture that still crashed the game, this time with an error popup.

I've deleted and recreated the DEMASTER_EXP with the unpack. The unpack manager also prompts to unpack every time I launch it which is odd.

So I'm wondering: is this potentially an issue with 1.0.3.0? Or could it be something at my end? Is there a way to fully uninstall Demaster and mods for a clean version, short of just deleting and redownloading the game folder? Will probably try that next, but figured I'd log this since it's a new version. (Thanks for this by the way! 😊)

I'm having the same issue here, even with only the demaster installed.

@MaKiPL : Any word on this? It is still present in 1.0.3. Irvine in the D-District prison is invisible and the game crashes when he shows up to save the party.

Save file just in case you need it :

I gave disabling exceptions try but it still happened.

How to turn off exceptions

The crash still happened so maybe the Game is throwing an exception? I'm not entirely sure.

I just got the same crash right now using [1.3.3] too

Sorry to report the same, with v1.3.3. On Linux with Proton I crashed with Unhandled Exception. On Windows I managed to progress but had the following (and an unhandled exception dialogue in the background that I didn't notice until I quit the game).

Reopening. High priority
