Nvidia GeForce 6200 Problems.
Hello all, I’m looking for some help with the graphics in Thief 2. I have a new graphic card
Nvidia GeForce 6200 FX with 512Mb memory (PCI slot (if it makes a difference)).
Drivers Version 6.14.10.9424
DirectX 9c
Other spec;
Windows XP service pack 2
Asus A7Vc K7 motherboard with 240Mb Ram, 1.75 ish Mhz AMD Athlon XP 1900+ Processor.
Here is the sequence of events.
Installed Thief 2.
Ran well but very dark visually and textures looked a bit basic.
Installed DDfix.
Had a job to install but finally got it to work (manually) Textures were fixed and the darkness problem had gone. ALL was GOOD.
Then….
Patched Thief to 1.18
Installed Dromed
Installed Komag Menus
That is when, after dromeding for a bit, I noticed that the darkness problem had come back (As in not enough gamma, shadows too dark to see in) The textures look fine though.
Installed DDfix for Dromed. I believe it is just an alternative exe file.
No change, darkness persists.
Is there something I have done wrong or in the wrong order. Overlooked something about the graphic card? Help much appreciated. Thanks.

You should do all the standard patching before installing DDfix.

I,ll give it a go. Should I reinstall everything in order or reinstall DDfix again, only.
Thanks Biker

Personally I would uninstall and do a fresh reinstall.

Ok I will do that and post the results so that you know.
Just to recap: Install
Thief 2
Dromed
Thief 2 Patch to 1.18
Dromed Patch to 1.18
Komag Menus
DarkLoader (4.3)
Any other add on / patch..
Then do the DDfix patch to both Thief and Dromed.
Thanks again Biker.
