WinXP? Do the textures turn black at a certain distance or are they always like that?

yes i´m using windos xp service pack 3. Sometimes object textures become pink, but when i step back away from those objects they turn black, or some of them become kinda yellow with lots of black stripes, and when i play a mission that has new water textures the water in gamemode gets a horrible texture, and in some missions everything works fine, except the common crash that sometimes happens when i read books or i load a save, and there are times that i can spend more than one hour reading books without crashes.I wonder if it does have something to do with my desktop resolution?

I doubt resolutions have anything to do with this. I thought you already solved this problem with a reinstall.

yes, i reinstall the game, but it happened the same thing, are you sure this could be a installation issue?

i am not sure how can this be a installation problem, yesterday i was playing a mission , when exploring an area i saw this:

Also when playing another mission i got this pink texture sight from a table:

Last night, I moved my HD4850 into a WinXP machine and was able to reproduce
* menu corruption
* menu crashes
* mission start crashes
* black textures
I'm investigating these issues now. It looks pretty messy though, so I'm not sure if I can fix all problems.
I can say that you wouldn't be having any problems with win7.

I never tried Windows 7, and i´m note sure how is that system compatible with old games, i used to play thief 2 in another pc (windows xp) , where i had a nvidia geforce video card of 512 mb, the gameplay and the textures definition of thief 2 was just fine with that videocard, but now the videocard got ruined and i am trying to find wich videocrad could i buy for thief 2, but in the meantime i have to play thief 2 in my recent pc that i use for recent games, but unfortently i get those annoying bugs when i play thief 2 fan missions:(, i wish i could know about updating DDfix or other kind of patches to fix this problem, i don´t even want to imagine how i will be able to play thief 1 or 2 in the future with advanced videocards :sweat:

Try to fix the errors with the 10.12 version of Catalyst,it is the most stable and glitchless version after 9.4 on WinXP

you won´t belive this guys, but i´m playing thief 2 without ddfix installed, i´ve already played two hours 3 missions and i had no crashes or those textures problems, the only thing bad is that the textures seems to have a 8 or 16 bit color, it feels almost like playing thief 2, anyway i´m going to buy a nvidia geforce card of 256 mb (41 euros) for my old pc, thus i avoid problems like that.

I´ve just downloaded the latest catalyst version yeterday, and the textures problem with ddfix remain as well the crashes.
