FF8 Crashing when I enter a battle (Steam)

Hey everyone,

I got ff8 (steam version) to install via crossover first time and it runs perfectly.. until I leave Balamb garden and hit a battle. The second I do the game just completely locks up. Does anyone know of a fix?

Hey, I have the same problem. Did you find a solution yet ?
Thanks for your help

same problem :\

Did anyone ever figure out how to get the battles/card games to work on FFVIII steam version? Mine crashes when I try to enter a card game or a battle.

If you are having this problem, you need to install Direct Music into your Steam bottle.

As in, add this:

To your existing Steam bottle.
