Just an FYI: This works really well.
1) Install the game. I didn't even have to use -lgntforce.
2) Use SSTool to get the game "mod ready". This installs all the patches and fixes necessary.
3) Use SSModTool to install SHTUP and Rebirth.
...that's it. The game runs, and just works. If you can't use inventory items, save your bindings and they start.
Looks good in 8xAA. :-)

I would do steps 2 and 3 differently but it is good to know SS2 works on Win7.

@Bjossi: I'm new at this, and didn't do a lot of research. Loved the Thief series almost fanatically, and BioShock was awesome, but never managed to play SS2. This'll be my first go around, on the Win7 box - and I'm glad, as its 1680x1050 with awesome textures. :-) :-)

Well, basically I prefer doing things manually and knowing exactly what is happening when I perform certain actions. Since I know my way around the Dark engine games quite well I've come up with a solid system that is automatic on my own terms and is far more compact and clean. It involves reorganizing/repackaging mods/fan missions and writing batch files. :p

Are the Nvidia drivers still a problem?

...were they ever? :weird:
Playing with an nVidia 9800GTX, 190.38 drivers (Win7, 32-bit) right now.
Also: Thief 1, Thief 2, and T2x all work just as well. :cool: In fact, i recently got my hands on Thief Gold, and am only now playing the "extra" three levels provided by this (have always had Thief: TDP discs, never Gold). So, awesome.

Still no fog in Thief 2, I guess?
By the way, how does 7 emulate XP, if it does?

It doesn't. It uses virtualisation, so you're literally running a copy of XP within W7. With the more expensive editions of W7 which ship with this aforementioned feature, the cost for a fully blown XP license is included in the final W7 RRP.
