Ok, so I've been having a problem watching videos as well. I've done EVERYTHING suggested on (
http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=75031) HERE and (
http://www.saleck.net/Games/Thief1-Gold/Thief-HowToGetWorking.php) ALSO HERE. The first is the Tech FAQ for Thief games on these forums, and the second is a link off of the forums to Saleck.net, where someone posted a useful guide with similar solutions.
I've gotten my Thief to run in 1680x1050 on my quad core machine using Vista with a little tinkering, but now the only problem is the cinematics are not working at all.
The cinematics load and play fine the
very first time I start the game up after installing, after that they do not work, not even trying to run them with Windows Media Player. I tried everything suggested at the two above links and this thread, and finally got the videos running out of the folder, but I'd like to see them running in the game too, if possible.
Can anyone offer me any ideas whatsoever? I love Thief, and I want to get the whole Thief experience again, in all its glory.
