Thanks Nicked for the new FM. I am trying to figure out the picture puzzles at this point. I don't wish a hint yet at this time. I just need to figure out how these work. Tough though that the AI are really sensitive. I got too careless and alerted one who was about 50 yards away - upstairs. These guards are really worried about intruders, aren't they? :ebil:
Frames are a little slow when starting out - in the outside areas - especially if looking toward the distance. However, this is something many new dark FMs do now. It's not so bad that it hurt game play. Just a little jumpy here and there.
I like the very low light candles. Lots of light in other areas, but some shadows that are bigger than they seem to be. That helps. Thanks for that. :D

Fine here (using FMsel). It does seem to use a lot of memory though - 800-900MB once the mission is loaded. Is that normal?

I found the solution - I have an icon to start the program on my desktop, and the Properties tab still had the Target startup on an old version of the New Dark exe.
Everyone: Make sure that you copy the most recent thief2.exe to your Target startup in Properties (or just double click on thief2.exe to start the newest NewDark version) after installing the most recent version.

Mission crashes to desktop when in loading objectives screen. I have New Dark 1.22, but i don´t use any EP patch. I use darkloader, what´s wrong?

I am having the same problem. Looking for fixes now.

@cardia1, Did you check that your shortcut icon points to the EXE your 1.22 installation folder (per above)? Starting directly with the 1.22 EXE?

Sorry to be repetitive, but then you still need to have Darkloader point to the correct EXE file. Check the Thief2 directory in Setup. Then when you start the mission, Pause to desktop and check that the Thief Icon in your task bar says 1.22. If so, then it is something else...
