Like Thief 1/Gold and Thief 2 have their own sound enhancement packs. Isn't there also a sound enhancement pack for TDS with Sneaky Upgrade as well?

Use indirectsound ( (

Or you could try this for positional sound+EAX

Mod the .ini file like this:
*
5.1 speakers configuration[General]
sample-type=int16
channels=surround51rear
frequency=48000
stereo-mode=headphones
hrtf=false
default-hrtf=Built-In 48000hz
drivers="wasapi,-dsound,"
*
2.1 speakers configuration[General]
sample-type=int16
channels=stereo
frequency=48000
stereo-mode=headphones
hrtf=false
default-hrtf=Built-In 48000hz
drivers="wasapi,-dsound,"
Oh thank you! But there´s a misunderstanding! I already have Positional Audio running with my creative Soundcard, but I tried out this anyway, work´s the same.
It´s just the sound-design in TDS itself that´s not pleasing me, unrealistic sound-cutoffs, traveling distances and the overall lack of ambience, at least so far for my testing around.
And clunky footsteps.
And blackjacking someone feels so much off, sound and animation. Well, I´ll try to ghost anyway.

No, just little changes for lootpickup and death cries.
As I wrote before, my main issue is with the system itself. Not easy to fix or maybe not at all. Goes back to Xbox-Limitations. They should´ve made an alternate superiour PC-version...
I understand that several people from the original THIEFs were involved. I watched the credits but only recognized Terri Brosius (writing), her husbad Eric (music, sound?) and Lulu Lamer (just in special thanks). I recognized noone else.
But it still fits in the THIEF-Universe and I was glad to see more from the Keepers. But I wasn´t glad with the enforcers, they just don´t fit the Keepers from the first two gems. And Gamal was really stupid too. Damn, I have a lot of bad memories for this game, have to play it again for getting better ones...

I stopped playing TDS somewhere in the Cradle because my PC at the time couldn't handle the game. Maybe I'll get the game again and finish it.

Thank god for Sneaky Upgrade, that fixes your problem then!:cheeky:

What's that upgrade? Also, I'm not sure I want to play it again because of all the loading zones and the regenerating AI.

it's a free patch download that's similar to Tfix and T2Fix for Thief 1/Gold and Thief 2 respectively. It fixes a lot of problems and has improvements. I have it installed on my copy of Thief Deadly Shadows and it works just fine.

It´s a mod-merging patch with a lot of tweaking options. Pretty easy interface. With Thief3-Gold-mod for removing the loading zones. The best TDS experience you can get.
What do you mean with "regenerating AI"? Did they wake up after being blackjacked?

TDS is an average game, and a really bad Thief game (exception made for great soundtrack and the Cradle level). I still can't believe nobody cured it from Consolitis Syndrome by remaking it completely in Dark Engine.
