Hi
I have a problem, is this because of 64bit OS or is it just ALL vistas out there.
After a long time I tried Thief 1 Gold again, I have Nvidia 8800 Ultra Graphics card.
Thief mod: nvidia driverfix (thieffixedg.exe) doesn´t work anymore, it crashes when cutscene starts, without that fix cutscenes runs well so that fix is crashing itself, not the game.
any UPDATED driver fix out yet?
thanx

Used DDFix, menu graphics become crappy (640x480), and I don´t really know if it work with thief gold I only got 1024x768 resolution working, there was more than one "ddraw" instance in thief.exe, I changed them ALL.
I tried again with ORIGINAL thief.exe.......NO PROBLEM with nvidia memory,
how´s that possible???? I use latest drivers.
There was no crash if pressed "Esc, save, Esc", loading save game worked well too, so TWO problem blown away.....without any fix
So I am asking, is this game working BETTER in vista sp1 (?x64?) than XP???????? and nvidia made more compatible drivers for a change?
tis cool

I just got my new computor. It's a "amd Athlon 64 X2 dual core processor, Windows Vista 64bit, with Geforce 8600GT video card. I've done the ddfix. I'm not sure what video drivers i should be using. The game shuts down as soon as it trys to start. i was using this video card in my old computor, but i was running XP Pro. I am also, using a 42" LCD HDTV for a monitor. i have been trying for 4 days to get T2 to work. Nothing seems to work. Can anyone help me. Mark.

I've got Thief Gold running on Vista x64, and using DDFix it works pretty much perfectly.
However, I did have to use the Windows compatibility mode option, and set the game to run in Windows 2000 mode in order to get it to work. If I didn't do this, the game would hang on startup. (This includes "skip_starting_checks" being added to cam.cfg.)
The game is probably crashing on cutscenes because Vista doesn't come with the right codec any more, to play the cutscene videos. You need something like (

Thief Gold was my next project. Maybe, if i get T2 going, TGold will go smoothly. Off, to see if i can, find what i need.
Thanks Mark.
Thank You....I installed the K-Lite code pack and T2 started and i played about half of the first mission. It looks great, and different. the only thing, that's not right is when T2 first loads, when u get New Game, Load Game, Start and the rest. It is off to the right side of my monitor, it only fills about 3/4 of the screen. when i click new game, it played great and filled the screen. If that's the only problem i have i can live with it. After 5 days, i can play the game...lol....thanks again...Mark.
