If you're having problems with Thief 3 locking up when you complete a mission, try to load a saved game and possibly a few other places when in widescreen, this patcher I made should fix it.
The patcher will also let you specify your own resolutions to have show in the in-game menu, as originally I was thinking the crash was happening because the resolution was showing as 283569644x1920 when you do Resolution=-1, but after locating where the resolutions are stored and changing them, the crash still occured. I decided to add this functionality anyway in case you want to run at a widescreen resolution, but not at the same res as your desktop.
The patcher is located at (
http://drop.io/t3_widescreen) , and has been tested only on 1.1. (It may work on 1.0, too, but if it doesn't it will probably yell at you when it doesn't recognize the part of the problem it modifies) Be sure to back up T3main.exe before you run it. Although to the best of my knowledge it should work fine, if it doesn't it'll be easier to just restore your backup than to reinstall it completely.

hmm well done that man, I think this should be mirrored on ttlg and added to the FAQ

We just need to get a handful of people to confirm it works for different systems and tweaked versions of the game, and to see if anyone doesn't benefit and why, but this is a great start! It is noted!:cool:

Works great here! The training mission always crashed at the end before, now it plays all the way through at 1080p, and I didn't even have to mess with the config files...
I believe it should work with either 1.1 or 1.0, T3Main.exe does not get modified in the patch if i recall correctly.

Could everyone who uses this reply and let me know if it works or not for them? I have one person in another thread saying it's not working for them, as no matter what resolution they set, they get "no signal" from their monitor, and Resolution=-1 with the patch causes a crash for them.

That doesn't sound directly related to your patch so much as the user likely chose a display mode their monitor or video card doesn't support.

Cool, I can add this to the FAQ.

Seems to have fixed the crash on trying to load a game in 1920x1200 on quick inspection. Will try a full map later on but I'm excited already :thumb:

This thread has just helped out another poor, frustrated taffer. Hadley, dude, you utterly rock.
