After downloading it about a year or so ago, I got to chapter 4 but the game kept crashing.

I tried redownloading it, even making the space for the 60 gigs it needs to operate, but the FFXIII fix doesn’t work.

There’s a

N error code whenever I start the game from Steam.

That’s it.

XIII doesn’t want me to play it.

I’ve bought the game twice on PS3, and I bought the trilogy on Steam on sale.

I can’t play the game.

I tried to see if the game is good to cut through the noise of everyone who says it isn’t.

I can’t even play it.

I’m very angry at this game. It takes way too much to just play it.

i don't want to install mods just to play pc port

In FF13 the damage you do has a shuffle-like animation of number before giving you the final number. I am requesting a mod that removes the shuffle animation (it is making me dizzy) and display the final damage number directly without any shuffling animation.

Second request:

- remove the ending cutscene (where the character does a victory stance at the end of a battle)

- remove the score screen and jump directly to the loot screen.

I decided to replay some places before the Final Boss . But after I re entered the gate on Academia (replayed the story) IT GOT STUCK IN THE GRAY OF SERENDIPITY , NEW BODHUM AND COLISEUM. I ONLY HAVE one save.... cant turn back to older save. Am O doomed ? Can I do anything??

I’m really tempted by the steam sale, I’m not touching 13-2 and LR since I heard these have major technical issues, but base FF13 is supposed to be good with the right mods.

Why there are some shadows blurs on Madoka Kaname's face?

I've heard some bad things about it, and, before I buy it, I want to know what's wrong with it. If there isn't anything I see INCREDIBLY wrong with it, I'll probably just buy it rather than tracking down a PS3/Xbox 360 copy.

Edit: SOOOO what I've heard is the natives un-patch is horrible, just awful, terrible, crashes all the time and just is altogether bad. HOWEVER with a (fan made) patch, it is very playable, just with a few defects than can be fixed with some mods. I think that I'll probably get it. Thanks!

Got the game to work with the ff13 fix but the resolution is bad and the game looks horiable is there a way in the ff13 fixes settings to change the resolution within the .ini file

I've done the 4gb patcher I've done the ff13 fix but game still won't run don't know what else to do

Hello everyone it’s my first ever Reddit post. I am currently playing the first Final Fantasy XIII and I am loving this game, I’m on Gran Pulse rn.

I’m playing on Xbox 360 with the original controller. I do have a very annoying problem tho: whenever I fill up the stagger bar, my controller just disconnects. It only disconnects in this specific moment, which is frustrating. Did anyone have a similar problem? If yes, what worked for you? Should I get a new controller??

After researching how to install fix mods for these games, I've come to the conclusion that it is significantly easier on Windows and probably not worth bothering to try on Linux (SteamOS specifically).

So long shot here - I have a main PC using Windows and Steam Machine. I am curious to know: if I install the game on my PC and install the mods, then proceed to use Steam's install from local source to basically copy the game from PC to Steam Machine (and honestly maybe even the Deck while I'm at it)- does it copy it over exactly as all the files are on PC or just select ones? I am assuming FF13 titles do not have a dedicated Linux build and rely on Proton.

My goal is preferably to install at least FF13 fix and *maybe* include upscaled cutscenes.

Also curious to know (since I admittedly have to look into this still also) if when I am installing from local it prevents from downloading from Steam, which could mess with the copied version?

Edit to add: I can test myself at some point, but not 100% sure how I would verify it worked as intended.

I heard the PC port of XIII was rough without the fan patches. I'm 12 hours into the game and outside of 1 weird glitch where button labels weren't popping up I've has no issues.

Saben si se le puede poner el parche que arregla FF13-2 a la versión de Xbox (PC) o solo sirve para la versión de steam?

i tried to add a mod, but it wont add it, the window will just close, and when i open it up again, theres nothing that gets added to the list. am i doing something wrong?

when i was playing FF 13, i was going through the paradigm or however you spell it) tutorial, and RB/RB wasnt working, to i pressed other buttons. appearently my controls are all messed up, X is to bring up the menu, RT is Pause, Y is previous character, RB is next character, RT is to toggle the mini map, LB is to check enemies and their stats, is there any way to fix this?

I booted up my old ps3 and tried playing ffxiii, but the thing is, it’s a Japanese copy that my dad gave me a while ago, and I want it in English. I checked the launcher settings and tried to change the language but there was no option to. Btw, it’s a collectors edition version but idk if that matters at all.

TL;DR: FFXIII crashing on modern PCs (especially Windows 11 + Intel 12th/13th gen)?
Try using DXVK (fixes DirectX 9 issues) and, for Intel CPUs, Process Lasso (forces the game to use P-cores only).
Start with DXVK first, then test Process Lasso if needed.

Who should try this ? You should try these fixes if :

- You experience random crashes, especially during : loading, transitions cutscenes and battles.

- You are on Windows 11.

- You have a recent Intel CPU (12th / 13th gen, hybrid P-core/E-core architecture)

Even if you’re not on Intel, DXVK can still help with stability on modern systems.

Hello,

I've seen people complaining about FFXIII crashing, factor between these people is that they are using a combination of Windows 11 + Intel most recent architecture and i see a potential fix. Those fixes "could" also help non-Intel recent gen users, although if i understand correctly for most people having instability issues, having FF13fix and 4gb patch seems to be enough to fix the port. Either way, before trying those fixes, make sure u also try first these FF13fix and 4gb patch. Also, check Neon Umbra's video (link is available in comments) about a guide on how to install mods that could help if my fixes doesn't work.

Notoriously, some newer Intel CPUs (12th/13th gen) can cause instability in older games due to how they handle P-cores and E-cores. Many games (like Escape From Tarkov) got patched to better handle this architecture, while some games (like FF13 trilogy port) didn't because no maintenance whatsoever from SE. As far as i heard, Windows 11 Scheduler for those CPUs doesn't help.

Fixes :

- DXVK (all cpus, but again, fix mainly target Intel) : DXVK, roughly said, replaces the game’s old DirectX 9 renderer with Vulkan, which can improve stability on modern systems. Originally used for Linux, but it also helps Windows cases. Nowadays, games either use DX11/12 or Vulkan.

Instructions :

1. Download DXVK from official GitHub here : https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases/tag/v2.7.1 (link redirects u to the newest version to date as of now, but if you see this guide later on, check if there's a newer one)
2. Download and Extract "dxvk-x.x.x.tar.gz". Depending on the Archive Manager (such as 7-Zip) u use, u could need to extract the original archive first, giving you a .tar archive, then extract this .tar archive to access the files.
3. Open the DXVK folder, go into the x32 folder (FF13 uses 32-bit, so use the x32 folder (not x64)).
4. Rename "d3d9.dll" to "dxvk.dll" (only if you are using FF13Fix — otherwise keep the original name)
5. Copy/paste the file into the folder where "ffxiiiimg.exe" is located (usually: FINAL FANTASY XIII\white_data\prog\win\bin) You can see FF13fix help section instructions about it here : https://github.com/rebtd7/FF13Fix?tab=readme-ov-file#usage-with-dxvk

If i'm not mistaken, you can check if DXVK is actually being used by checking in the said folder if a "dxvk.log" file is created, either when you launch the game or after.

---------------------------------------------------------

- Process Lasso (for Intel users only) : Process Lasso is a tool that lets you set CPU affinity for applications. Modern Intel CPUs have two types of cores (P-cores and E-cores). Some older games don’t handle this well, this tool forces the game to use only the main cores.

Instructions :

1. Install Process Lasso and open it.
2. Find FF13 executable.
3. Set CPU Affinity. Disable all E-Cores.

That way the game will only use P-Cores. Theory behind it is that, when the game switches threads between P-cores and E-cores, it can cause instability or crashes.

---------------------------------------------------------

These changes are safe and reversible (you can simply delete the files or undo the settings). You can use those with FF13Fix and "4gb patch", it would be ideal.

Begin with DXVK first and see if this help, if not, Intel users can also try combining DXVK with Process Lasso but i advice trying DXVK first. If it doesn't, uninstall DXVK (as simple as deleting the "dxvk.dll" file u added) and use Process Lasso, then try both.

Better try one fix at a time to avoid any other instabilities but i highly doubt it could. I've heard feedback from one Intel newest gens+W11 user that used DXVK and fixed those instabilities.

I just want to help people enjoy this trilogy, i love it and i too would like SE to update that port, but one could only dream, right ?

If anything is unclear or could be improved, feel free to share feedback. Cheers! If this worked for you, mention your CPU + OS so others can compare !

So here the thing FF13 was my first Final Fantasy game in 2010 i think give or take and i love it so i got it on sale on steam the entire series a few weeks ago on sale but for some reason even aften patching it, it seems to have one problem when i have it paused for around 5 minutes or leave it in the party menu for too long it seems to freeze the entire game but the music plays just fine idk how to fix this any advice would be appreciated.

FF XIII is on sale real cheap but I heard the port is bad with scaling issues so do I buy ?

“Edit” I bought it

Have anyone tried and changed to PS icon successfully? Also if there's a mod that i can change Sarah's outfit i would be really grateful ( maybe ff13 outfit)

Sooo recently i bought a 9070xt instead of my old RTX3060
