Hi!
I'd like to ask a question about using v1.19 for Thief Gold. I have the following problem(s):
- I have removed my old installation of Thief G, and have made a fresh install. (Done the same for T2, no problem there.)
- Installed the 1.19 patch for both, T2 works fine.
- For the TG installation, I have followed the steps described in T1.7z.
At this point, I have the original unmodified Thief Gold start exe as well as the Thief 2 exe that came from the 1.19 patch. Which one am I supposed to run to play? I've tried both, and have found that if I run the Thief Gold exe, I'm not able to set the resolution to the higher levels. It also works with the Thief 2 exe and the game seems to play properly (at least for a short trial), and I can, in fact, use the higher relolutions; but what is supposed to be the proper way here? The T1.7z file doesn't go into this much detail.
Now, to a more pressing problem: getting it to work with Darkloader. I have already had Darkloader and previously it has worked with both TG and T2. After applying 1.19 T2 FMs still work, but TG ones don't. I can play the original TG campaign, but if I install any T1 FMs via Darkloader, TG locks up right upon starting with a generic message like "Thief Gold has detected a problem and will shut down."
Would appreciate help.

Delete or rename thief.exe then rename thief2.exe to thief.exe and use that instead.
Now darkloader will find and use the new thief.exe file instead of the old one.

Thanks for the help, I'll implement it when I get home (about to leave now), and wil post back about how it all went.

Well, tested it, and the TFix seems to have solved the problem. Thanks for the help!

Anyone else have a problem with thief2 1.19 crashing on exit ?

Definitely.
But, since it only occurs when exiting the game ... it seems to be rather insignificant.

Installed TafferPatcher with NewDark included.
Got a bug, that appears while climing - invisible "wall" upon object,
so I can't climb or need to jump higher (or stack crates) to reach the top of the "wall".
Because of it can't go through window from the balcony - "something" is blocking the way in:(

You might get more help if you provided more detail:
- In which mission does it happen?
- Where is that balcony you mentioned?
