Nvidia still doesn't like Index Buffers and you should always let TheDarkMod know how much Video RAM you have
but the image_downSize cvars might not be needed if you have Windows XP and you don't get Malloc errors.
The image_downSize cvars will still improve performance for folks with less memory bandwidth. The new Lightgem
optimization reduces some fillrate costs so you might find that your performance is good enough to do without
the downSize changes.
In short:
seta r_useIndexBuffers 0
seta com_videoRam "<your value>"
= YES
seta image_downSize "1"
seta image_downSizeLimit "1024"
seta image_downSizeBump "1"
seta image_downSizeBumpLimit "256"
= Only if you need them to prevent crashes or improve performance.
Note: image_downSize cvars are more useful in 2.05 because they no longer make menus and GUI's (maps, signs, etc) blurry.

after messing around with things for about one hour trying to deal with downloader crashes and connection failures, I was finally able to install (and update to 2.05) via (
http://www.moddb.com/mods/the-dark-mod/downloads/the-dark-mod-204-gui-installer-windows) the 2.04 gui installer - I'm thinking a working 2.05 version of that file placed directly in the Dark Mod website download section could spare the experience for a few people.

I updated my install over the weekend, and went on a bit of a TDM rampage, catching up on a bunch of missions I never played:
The Accountant Part 2
Rats Triumphant
Ulysses 1
Ulysses 2
Mother Rose
Golden Skull
Thief's Remorse
Dead Drunk
Spring Cleaning
I highly recommend the first five on the list, all excellent missions. The last four were fun too - shorter, contest missions - your mileage may vary.

I have to get back into The Dark Mod I was mostly focusing on Thief but then I took a break from that came back and finally did the Widows Ire Campaign then because I was playing some other stuff I took another break.But I want get back to doing Thief FM's I got do Up the Bonehoard the only one for DP\Gold I haven't done and I am up to Raid on Washout Central in 2,but I want to start doing TDM again since I have a really big backlog.This update and some of the earlier ones look really good.
