I got a bit scared the second time I played the updated Bafford demo because, while the first time it ran just fine, I got lots of graphics driver crash that second time, which made it unplayable. However, once I updated my graphics drivers, no more issue :)

Quick question, and apologies if this has been asked and answered before (or even if it is nothing to do with this latest patch!).
I've just got up and running with v1.19 and am seriously impressed, however one thing is making the whole experience very un-enjoyable for me - the mouse input speeds seem to differ greatly between up/down and left/right! Moving left/right seems far too slow yet up/down seems to be too quick! Anyone know what might be causing this?

After the first run, a string "mouse_sensitivity_y_scale 1" appears in user.bnd. Change the "1" in it to something less than one to decrease vertical sensitivity.

I just wanted to mention that Thief and Thief 2 now work great on my Asus Netbook. No stuttering while playing "Ominous Bequest". In Rose Cottage there are some Issues in the mansion but it´s not unplayable. A vast improvement to Version 1.18.

Has anyone tried to configure SSAO (Ambient Occlusion) with Thief ?
Or maybe it is not possible, or it makes no sense, with the Dark Engine ?
You can set and force AA and AF in Thief via the nVidia control-panel.
In other games I like to force SSAO. It gives a nice subtle extra shadow effect to some spots in games. I used it in Guild Wars 2, Skyrim and Fallout 3. Even when the nVidia control-panel does not allow it, you can still mess with the settings via a tool called nVidia Inspector. However, after a quick test with Thief Gold and SS2, it seemed the settings didn't make any difference. Anyone who knows more ?
Small question: (I remember installing a small patch with textures that would give darker health shields. Edit: found it: google for a file called "Thief_ThiefII_dark_shield.rar"). And I think I remember those health shields would fade away after a while, and only become visible again when you lose some health. Did I just imagine that ?

I just recently bought another copy of Thief (Gold and 2) on Steam, and now I think I've got at least 3 retail CD copies of the game, if not 4, 2 digital copies through Steam, another through GOG (or similar).
Man, what a devotion:thumb:!
Constance: Can you please state your graphics driver's versions you used before and after? Some people may encounter the same problem, so I think it'd be useful to know which driver's version is most suitable for these new executables.

This is pretty incredible.

So what am I doing wrong?
Just got it on Steam and installed the fan patch. However.. I see no resolution support for 1920*1200.

try to be more specific. posting full system specs wouldn't hurt either.

I don't see 1920x1200 either. (I switched from 1920x1200 to 1920x1080 a few weeks ago). It is probably not considered a standard resolution anymore. :(
Look at the file cam_ext.cfg. There is this comment:
Quote:
; up to 8 user defined display modes, if you want some resolution that isn't supported by default
; format: width height [ bitsPerPixel [ aspectX aspectY ] ]
; NOTE: resolutions exceeding 2048 only work with "use_d3d_display" (because DirectX 6 doesn't support larger)
;
; 1600x768 32bpp 25:12 (skipping "32 25 12" would also work because default is 32-bit and aspect would be auto)
;user_mode1 1600 768 32 25 12
; 2880x900 32bpp 16:5
;user_mode2 2880 900 32 16 5
; 6144x1536 32bpp - three 4:3 monitors at 2048x1536 each, gives an aspect ratio of 4*3:3
1920x1200 is not there.
But it looks like you can add it yourself easily.
I expect that this simple line would work: "user_mode1 1920 1200".
Let us know if it worked.
