Argh! THIEF is my life! I can't live if I can't play it!
I just installed an Nvidia GeForce 9600 GT - now when I launch, I can get the menu. As I move the cursor over the various buttons, some odd gray/white hatchmark pattern appears over each word. When I select to start a new game, it crashes to desktop!!
I'm concerned because the card I got required an addition power jack from the power supply of my PC (I have a Dell Dimension 4700 3.4 Ghz running WinXP)
Any ideas? I also noticed Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield 2 will not run. The former will start to load a map, and then my monitor shuts off, and the latter won't even launch! Yet I can play Battlefield 2142 just fine!!
Argh!

Ahh, see - your PC is too new. Why don't we swap PCs?
Mine runs Thief 1 and 2 just fine :)
2.0Ghz
1.25GB ram
GeForce2 MX 64mb :angel: best card ever.
So - deal?

Mine ran it fine when I had an ATI Radeon x700!! That's the only thing I changed!

Did you try DDfix? It made all of my T1 & 2 technical problems go away.
(using a 7900 GTX with 175.19 ForceWare, by the way)

T2 pretty much requires DDfix to run on recent video cards, such as the Geforce 8 and 9 series (especially if want to use the most recent drivers).

I think the dithering problems introduced by the 8000 series and onward appear for older generations with newer drivers. So yeah, DDfix is one hell of a lifesaver. :cool:

Im using my back-up gfx card atm, a nVidia 7900GTO and I can confirm that the 84.56 and 175.16 drivers both show the ugly green texture issue, but I can if someone needs to know if thief will work on the 175.16 drive without ddfix installed...?
