Don't load the old savegame. C'mon :bored:

"NewDark doesn't work when I disable my soundcard" => "don't do it then"

Just because it is a necessity, it doesn't necessarily work.
I have seen compatibility issues with saved games between NewDark 1.23 and 1.24 myself. There's no way around it, as far as I know. Maybe there could be some obscure way of editing a saved game in order to transfer it between different versions of Thief and/or NewDark, but I doubt that anyone would be interested in spending time looking for this obscure way.
I think you better try to find another solution for your problem.

I need help. I want to install the latest version of TafferPatcher so I can play the newer FMs that are coming out now, but there's so many different types of installation under the "how to" section of this thread I don't know which I need to use. I've got Thief 2 already installed along with an older version of TP. How do I update it? It seemed like this set of instructions might be the one to follow, but they're confusing:
1. Install a fresh copy of Thief 2. Or make sure it doesn't have any fan-missions or mods installed.
2. If you're not installing Thief 2 via TP, select the folder where Thief 2 is installed.
3. On the page with the list of available patches, There's a preset listbox. Note that it affects only the default set of selected patches, you may as well ignore it and select them on your own. Patch 1.18 is always on and grayed out on purpose.
4. Click Next all the way to finish the installation. On the first run, TP will check for old versions of files and install Patch 1.18 if needed. In addition, all .CRF files in the root folder will be repacked into ones in .\RES subfolder to make it compatible with fan-missions.
5. On the Finish page you can run additional configuration utilities and Thief 2 itself to test it.
I don't understand how one gets from step 2 to 3. What page? What is a listbox? In my Thief2 folder there's another folder labeled TafferPatcher, but inside it is only a folder labeled Backup and a Tafferpatcher configuration settings file. It's been a VERY long time since I installed my current version of Tafferpatcher (and I don't even remember what version that is) that I've completely forgotten how these processes go. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

1. Download TafferPatcher v. 2.0.17, run it. In the installation menu, select the existing T2 folder if you already installed it.
3. In the menu list, select NewDark (this is the only important thing)
4. It's optional to select other patches.
5. Finish installation
6. In the T2 folder, open cam_mod.ini with an editor. Look for this line

; always start the FM Selector (if one is present)
;Fm
Remove ";" in front of "FM". Save it.
That's it. Run thief2.exe or make a shortcut to the desktop.

There is no "NewDark" option in the installation menu. :( In fact, there are a bunch of options I'm not sure of in the menu. Under "Custom Installation" I'm not sure which items to check---which do I need? Should I just do a full installation?

In Tafferpatcher, NewDark is called "Patch 1.24"

Hey guys.
Haven't spent too much time on this site, so please tell me if this is the wrong place to post this. If it is, tell me, and i'll take down the post. I thought about posting it in the original tafferpatch thread, but I don't know if it will get noticed there. I only have the steam version of Thief 2, and I was able to use Tafferpatcher with it before. Now, it gives me an error that reads "your video hardware is not supported or supported video mode was found". The game runs when I get rid of the patch, but it runs much more smooth and in widescreen with the patch. I've checked my video drivers, and they are up to date. Does anyone know how to fix this?

It'll be noticed in the main thread so I'm going to move it there - just to keep things tidy. And it helps when others are trying to resolve similar problems if they've only got one thread to search. :)
