By the way, is it possible to use SHTUP and Rebirth with this patch?
No idea about Rebirth but I've unzipped the SS2 patch into an installation I'd previously installed SHTUP into and although I haven't gone farther than the training area the textures definitely included the SHTUP enhanced ones.

You're right, it is using the SHTUP textures. But the Rebirth models don't seem to work. Which is weird, furthermore because the demo does show them being used.

Already posted this in the main Thief forum thread, but this bears repeating--
There's some buried gold in the new cam_ext.cfg file. I found a "d3d_disp_scaled_2d_overlay" setting that lets you set the HUD overlay to any "virtual" resolution you want. So now you can set the game to modern resolutions without having to bust out a magnifying glass to read the HUD text.
Here's an example from SS2:

No idea of what happened before, but a clean install of SS2 solved my problem with Rebirth.
And now I even have the cutscenes back, which was a problem that I could never solve, even with all the help that Kolya tried to provide \o/
Now time to install Thief Gold and Thief II.

Dammit, this "unofficial" patch has now made me "officially" call in sick to work.

The graphics seem to have been updated, is it just SHTUP/Rebirth or did the modder create his own work for it?

This is crazy. Out of nowhere :D
Just reinstalled and works like a charm, also for anyone using steam grid view to launch the game here is a custom grid i made :) see you all after another go at the game that keeps on giving.

OMG it works beautifully! Intros play, menu shows up, no more flickering, EAX works with OpenAL, 48 sound channels, no more resolution switching going from menu to in game....just wow!
Who is this person I want to throw some money at his face!!!!
EDIT: Is it possible the mystery dev is a former LGS employee with their hands on the source code and don't want it known? /conspiracy

I just discovered that the mouse wheel now works for scrolling emails/logs/research/etc. I'm always reflexively trying to do that, but of course it never works... until now!
