Issues unresolved

High Framerate Damage Bug

When playing the game at framerates above 60 fps, sometimes when dealing multiple hits, the game will apply many more hits, dealing a large amount of damage.[8][9]

  • Limit FPS to 60 via drivers, or via RTSS, or turn on VSYNC if using a 60hz monitor.

Black Screen at Start or after using Alt-Tab

This bug might happen when using Full Screen mode.[10]

  • Switch to Borderless Windowed in game options.

Game Crashes at Start Up When HQ Texture Pack is Installed

For the GOG version, if the user has a drive assigned to the letter F:\, the game will crash. Change the drive letter as a workaround for this issue.[11]

  • Switch to Borderless Windowed in game options.

    "In late 2018, I co-founded PH3 games, and today we can finally announce our first two large-scale projects! The first project is a major update for Ys VIII. It greatly improves graphical quality options, increases performance stability, improves mouse/keyboard controls, fixes several bugs, and has an experimental bonus feature that I don't think anyone expected (including people involved with the project!): local coop!"
