I'm sure someone else will have more for you. But I would make sure you have the latest scripts. See if other other missions do this, even maybe see if the original game does it. That's a good place to start

Its strange for sure. I've been replaying through my Ginormous collection of missions the last few months and decide to replay Bathory and only in the Pagan area did this start happening, it also crashes the game out once this happens. I pull back an arrow the crossbow fades to translucent and then disappears, then when I let go a Halo appears. weird but it probably mean's that I have a messed up game folder. Just seems so strange happening only in this area.
Thanks

I had the same problem once, but in a specific area in the Dracula Reloaded campaign (version 1.2). I played that campaign with Thief 2 v1.18 ("vanilla", no special packs installed, and there was no NewDark either in these ancient times) in the summer of 2010, but when I entered a particular area in the third mission ("Traitors of Poenari"), things became weird. Sometimes, the crossbow would vanish once I tried to fire it, and during that, there were waves or ripples coming from the crossbow, looking like someone had thrown a stone into a pool of water. The staff (a weapon replacing the blackjack known from Garrett's adventures) didn't work anymore, either. It became transparent after selecting it, then vanished entirely.
All this happened in the area of the castle where Elizabeths rooms were located. The game also stuttered a lot in these rooms. Only when I finally reached the courtyard with the fountain again did the game run smoothly again. It happened with the computer I used at that time only if the CPU ran at 1.2 GHz. If I switched the CPU to 2.1 GHz, the stuttering did not happen, and the weapons worked normally.
I have never found out what was wrong there. A few weeks later, a new version of the campaign was published, and apparently, I never completed the former v1.2, then.
However, this rules out NewDark as well as FM-Selector. And I didn't notice that on any other missions, as far as I remember. Furthermore, I played the Dracula and Bathory campaigns a lot, and never again ran into that issue, AFAIK. Perhaps it's a very uncommon bug in some script Sensut used. Maybe it's somehow connected to the crowbar crossbow.

The way you described the issue you had, is exactly the same as myself.
I have since reinstalled and same issue with the saves, but no issue with any other mission. I have since started to play Dracula reloaded again without issue.

I'm unable to get beyond the Menial level. I can complete it, and it goes to the "continue" screen, but on clicking continue, Thief crashes. This has happened multiple times, so I'm giving up for now unfortunately. Any suggestions welcome. Playing on fully patched New Dark.
Otherwise a fantastic mission series!

First of all I've played this Campaign at least four times and I think that it's epic. I played the old dark version a couple of times also.:thumb:
It's regarding All Souls day.
I have never encountered this before; when the player enterers the hallway where Thurzo is behind the two doors in the Parlour, I'm not able to open the unlocked door without failing the objective, about not letting Thurzo see you.
Mission wise it's not a problem, but as I recall I were able to open the door, and a conversation between Thurzo and another AI would begin and they would eventually leave the room. (This is how i recall it)
It's Bathory version 3.0 new dark, and I'm using new dark 1.26 with no custom scripts or mods. I have not changed anything since I played last time with new dark 1.25.
Edit: I'm using the built in FM loader.

Its been a bit but I remember getting busted there too. My answer was to go in another way. There is a way to get in the bedroom and listen from there. You should be able to open another door There is also a secret in the room before that. Plus you need to get to the safe in the bedroom anyway. Hope this helps!

Thank you for your reply Stigm. :D
We are not talking about the same place. I don't mean the bedroom, but the Parlour where Thurzo is in All Souls Day.
Stingm on 22/12/2018 at 02:54
Nuts your right. Im sorry. All Souls Day is the tomb and making your way up to and through the castle. I listen to that conversation from outside and enter after he leaves. I believe he goes down the hall after to another meeting room near a medical area. I never use the double doors.

Hey don't be.
Yes Thurzo wanderers down the hall I believe to meet up with the Warlords. I wanted to enter the Parlour for the loot only. Because I was short of loot, but after I posted I found a post in this thread about how to enter
the fortune tellers shop where I found more than adequate.
So I skipped the Parlour.
I hoped that either someone would confirm what I wrote to be true, or that I maybe had made an error.
I also thought that the author may be interested in this matter.
