Sorry to hear that you're having problems. Are you playing an FM or one of the OMs? Crashes do occur even in the original missions, but not all that frequently anymore (with the exception of Sabotage at Soulforge, which probably doesn't work too well still). Fan missions are a bit more unpredictable, but every five minutes is unusual even for an FM.
Could you upload the errorlog.txt file somewhere (and also ThiefMP.log) that's in your Thief 2 directory so I can figure out why the game crashed for you?
edit: If it's crashing when you're sending/receiving messages, it sounds like it may be something new in T2 MP that's at fault and not the game. Definitely try and get those log files to me, and I'll see what's wrong.

I'm not sure it's really cause of the chats, although there were 2 or 3 funny coincidences, when i wrote a text and pressing the enter, game crashed.
Well, we tried these maps.
OMs:
Shipping... and Recieving
Framed
Bank
Life of the Party
FMs:
A Thief's Holiday
Hammerite deathmatch
All kinda crashed. And we tried some more then once. (like Bank and Thief's holiday)
P.S. My Thief II installation is once again probably messed up. I'll try and reinstall it, if you come up empty. Thanks.

Tos, I've sent the logs by PM.
Thank you for all your work! :thumb:

Thanks.
You were right about it being chat related. For some reason, T2 MP was unable to open the chat log file in your Thief 2 directory and was handling the situation somewhat... poorly. I've uploaded a fix, and edited the download link in the first post (the file is now t2mp_195_a.zip). I don't know why it was unable to open the file, but it will no longer crash if it can't write to the chat log. If anyone else is getting crashes when sending or receiving chat, you should download the updated build.

Thanks for all your hard work on this Tos. I'm really enjoying the multi player experience. You have added something really special to Thief! :thumb:

Yeah! That patch did it, Tos. I had 1 crash, but that was when i was going as admin (installed as my user Emils).
Now my friend started crashing, but kept excusing, that it's cause of other stuff. :D
BIG thanks, Tos! +1 with pavlovscat.

I'd just like to say THANK YOU Tos!
As of recently, I've started playing Thief Gold and Thief 2 again, this time fully and on expert (as it should be played), and I've been trying to get my friends into it. I often find myself talking about your project to illustrate Thief's popularity still strong a decade later.
Thanks for helping me demonstrate Thief as the best game ever made (IMO)!
Also, MP works great, just need some FMs to get it really interesting, and some means of an easier setup.
I look forward to updating my thief2 as your builds come along!
(also, great job with the server browser :D)

Hello, has anyone else got problems with the Server Browser?
In the browser, all info is displayed except for the Players and Ping, which is showing as ?/? and ???.
It is also impossible for me to connect to servers by using the Browser, but it works by Multiplayer -> Connect.
I've heard about this problem earlier by other players, but I have not seen any fixes.
And thank you for the chat-fix, it works perfectly! :thumb:
sNeaksieGarrett on 10/1/2009 at 20:26
IIRC the ?/? and ???? thing is due to firewall blocking the connection. Tos?
