After a few years taffing break I cleaned the dust out of Thief 2 disc and installed it once again. After a few missions, I encountered one serious issue.
In Blackmail mission, Outside area and first floor has no problem, but...
Performance becomes quite choppy when you enter second and third floor of the Truart's mansion (barely playable). Also, saving a game on these floors corrupts the savegame. I'll have to go back to the first floor if I want a working savegame. Some random crashes is also present, like dropping a gas mine. If I still manage to complete this mission, game crashes after clicking continue button in mission stat screen. To avoid crash, I have to use level skip cheat to complete this mission.
All the previous missions up to this point have worked smooth and flawlesly. Also the next mission after Blackmail has no issues.
My friend has this same exact issue. We have similar system specs:
Windows Xp + Sp3
AMD64 3200+ (friend has 3800+)
2GB Ram
SB Audigy 4 (friend has Audigy 1)
Geforce 7600 GT + FW 176.15 (friend has 7600GS with FW 163.75)
Friend uses Dfix, I don't.
Is this a known problem? Any solution?

if you have both installed the game from the same media,this may indicate that the disk is scratched and some files corrupt..

We both have our own legal version of the game cd.

It seems that this was some weird random savegame glitch, because upon restarting this mission completely and going to second & third floor didn't produce any issues anymore.
