If those didn't exist in your config file, it probably means you haven't run T2Fix with a recent version of NewDark. Do you manually patch the game .exe file or do you use T2Fix?
IMPORTANT: An update to Feast of Pilgrims is now ready which addresses the crash issue a few people were having. It is highly recommended that you download the update. If you are currently playing the mission, you can continue but your saves may become corrupted if your session goes over 3 hours or so. To take advantage of the fix, you will have to start a new game after installing the updated version.

I finally beat all entries. That was a journey. Before contest I was really worried that there will be only city missions presented, but luckily there is still few non city missions. Thanks to that there is a variety of themes. I played on Tafferpatcher and didn't change my minimal audio settings. I didn't notice any technical problems either. And I had a lot of fun. Good job to all FM creators and organizers of this contest.
Best missions for me are: Builder's Paradise (best scored), Into the Odd (not far behind) and Show Off! (which is also my favorite). Worst scored mission is Ten Little Taffers. If it would present only Garrett's path score would be higher, because other difficulties are underdeveloped. But my least favorite is Mission 1 of GORT's entry. GORT's entry didn't score the worst only because Mission 2 is much better.

My top 3:
1. Fierce Competition
2. Where the Unknown Lurks
3. Show Off
As you can tell classic city & mansion missions are my favorite.

* Fierce Competition
* My Favorite Year
* Troubling Transitions
* Where The Unknown Lurks

Also just finished all missions. For me there are 3 and then there’s the rest. Builder’s paradise, Into the odd and feast of pilgrims are in a league of their own. After those 3 there is a big drop in quality and creativity

Thief has been one of my favorite series since its release. It's still a compelling, unique experience I revisit every few years, usually predicated by a visit to the ttlg forums. So here I am, checking in again, and I find this amazing community and fans authoring new missions. It's truly incredible! I can't wait to jump back in. Thanks all!

Not exactly sad, BUT very true. Yes! But also, I think the mansion in GORT's second mission, and
the non-Bonehoard part of Where unknown Lurks are very good looking and well built as well.

It's now in the
cam_ext.cfg file in your Thief 2 game folder, at least it is on my installation after running the latest T2Fix 1.27b. Scroll down to the end and it's the last entry.
Originally it looks like this enabled:
; enable and configure subtitles
enable_subtitles
subtitles_bg_color 0 0 0 0
movsubtitles_bg_color 0 0 0 0
To turn off, change it to this and then save the file:
; enable and configure subtitles
;enable_subtitles
subtitles_bg_color 0 0 0 0
movsubtitles_bg_color 0 0 0 0
On a side note for those that try to Ghost the game - the subtitles are great for catching level 1 alerts and settling remarks without having to kill your ears jacking up the volume too high..

Finished playing all of these now. What a ride! Three of the missions stood out for me in every respect (not gonna say which until the voting is over), and almost all the rest are really solid. Absolutely fantastic work by all authors!
