Can't play T2X at more than 800X600... - by labrekk

Is it normal?
I had not played Thief in more than 2 years, got a new computer since then (with a 8800 GT GPU). I had lots of problems cause the videos/cutscenes weren't playing at all and the game always crashed to desktop. I reinstalled both Thief 2 and Thief 2X, I solved my video problems, installed the DDFix and now Thief 2 works great at 1024X768. But when I start T2X, it gives me an error message saying "Resolution in cam.cfg does not match that given in ddfix.ini". But in reality, it matches! Both are at 1024X768. The only way to make T2X work is to change it to 800X600 in the cam.cfg file.
Why is it happening? I could play at 800X600, but the game looks much "prettier" at 1024X768...
Anyone knows what I can do to solve the problem?
Thanks.

If you're playing T2X, you need to edit the copy of ddfix.ini in the T2X directory, not the one in the original thief directory. If there isn't one there already, just copy it over from the thief 2 directory first.

Thanks! I'll try this tonight.

just to confirm:
1. only ddfix.ini has to be in T2x dir (ddfix.dll not needed there)?
2. ddfix.ini in T2x and T2 dirs are competely independent of each other (when starting/playing T2x, ddfix.ini from T2 dir is not read at all?) and could be used to set different res in T2x/T2, for example?
3. ddfix.dll is shared between the two?

Thanks a lot, it worked!! T2X looks a lot nicer in 1024X768.
