I've just played through T2 again and thought I'd play a couple of FM's. So far, no luck, as they either crash straight after load (A Keeper's Betrayal, Equilibrium, Raid on Washout Central, Saturio Returns Home, Just For Show, The Ritual and more) or, in the case of one (Stronghold), once I've turned two corners.
A few (Calendra's Legacy, The Inverted Manse, The Seventh Crystal) appear to be working. It seems the difference is noticeable by hitting Load on the menu, which causes the game to crash straight away for the "broken" FM's, but does nothing to those that seem to work. Might be a hint to the source of the issue?
Aside from Sold Out's version of T2 patched to 1.18 I have DDfix and widescreen fixes installed, and as I said I've gone through the entire game without any issues. It must thus be an issue related to these particular missions. I've looked through the forums, but so far no luck.
Relevant system specs:
Windows XP SP3
Intel i7 920 @ 2.67 GHz
ATI Radeon 4800 with 8.762.0.0 drivers
I assume my install.cfg looks as it should according to this thread: (

Code:
cd_path G:\
install_path C:\spel\Thief2
language english
resname_base C:\spel\Thief2\res+G:\thief2
load_path C:\spel\Thief2+G:\thief2
script_module_path C:\spel\Thief2+G:\thief2
movie_path C:\spel\Thief2\movies+G:\thief2\movies
Any ideas?

I've played the seemingly working FM's for a couple of hours now and it seems the save games are corrupted if I close T2 and start it up again - when I try to load them the game crashes. I did load a few times while playing, and it worked fine then.
Again, this was not an issue when I played through standard T2.

What are you using? Darkloader or Garrettloader. If Dark, are you using the INSTALL ONLY for the original game when you quit the mission and then Dark?
Do you have the scripts installed?
If you just quit a FM without using the INSTALL ONLY feature of DARK, the FMs and games will frequently crash.

I'm using Darkloader 4.3 from (

I've tried using INSTALL ONLY and then starting the game in the usual way, with and without Darkloader running in the background. It crashes just the same.
If by "the scripts" you mean convict.osm and gen.osm, then yes I do.
Additionally, I tried T2X and it ran fine, but when I shut the game down and started it up later, loading the saves crash the game. As long as the game is running, I can save and load all I want, but if I take a break it won't load anything.
For some reason, since I installed Darkloader, this issue with save games even happens to vanilla T2 :confused:

I tried reinstalling (uninstall, install again) the game, which turned out to be a mistake. Now it doesn't start at all past the intro video.
I've tried the fixes mentioned in the FAQ (reinstalling the indeo codecs) but it doesn't help. I've also tried patching it manually, adding DDfix in various ways, installing the Taffer patch etc, but to no avail.
It seems I'll take a break from Thief for some time.
