Well, I ran Tafferpatcher.exe on my fresh Win7 64-bit install, and it seems to be working fine! I've played through the first 2 Original missions, and have not had any problems yet. Widescreen at 1920x1020 is VERY NICE!
I made the adjustment to darkinst.cfg, and still get a few popups I have to "Cancel" my way out of, but the game starts up fine afterwards, and this is a very slight annoyance.
I have yet to install Garrettloader and/or Darkloader, so I haven't tried any FMs yet, but I'll be doing that soon.
Thank you! :D

A new collection of all 3 games was released this summer so it's a long way from being "abandonware" (not that this legally even exists).
Reboxing is NOT support.

And abandonware doesn't exist without official word by the property owners saying so.

Y' know, Dj, one could merely decompile your patcher and add a no-cd option, so your argument against a no-cd option is not only disagreed with, everyone is quite certain your not getting away with that. :p
(I mean, even if you hadn't told us, most people would've figured out you used inno install creator. I mean, I've decompiled install-shield files before, and I'm not even a programmer.)
But what do I know? We could get ballbusted for giving a fairly obvious no-cd patch for free to the thieving public, while some guys who made a somewhat complex patch to keep the executable from reading for the cd, get away unscathed. :rolleyes:

Erm, did I destroy the momentum of this thread?

It installed the French version flawlessly, but I had to change "english" to "french" manually in darkinst.cfg or else it would crash. Can be easily corrected. Thanks DJ Riff.

One could get a ddfixed .exe or an .exe from a Premier Patch and do the same, but it's their conscious action, not mine and not via Patcher itself. You see, it's not about me releasing a no-cd patch, it's just about this thread that may get closed and links removed because of that and all taffers will have to look for updates via Google Translator at Darkfate.

Please post contents of SETUP.LID file, from CD1 of your French version.
And there's more than just changing the language in darkinst.cfg. There are some language-dependent files in Patch 1.18. They don't affect the gameplay much, but I still want them to be installed properly. So is there a French patch to 1.18 that can be easily unpacked (like a Premier for English one)?

I think the English Premier patch is the only one that works on my copy... There is no specific French patch that I know of.

About the NO-CD - I think it may be just too much panic for nothing - Eidos doesn't care at all it seems. The Thief Anthology sold in Czech Rep. for example does not have CD checks at all.
But I understand you don't want to risk.

Found the link at southquarter and followed the link to the thread, but I'm not sure if the patch is completed or still a beta version...?
If it is complete I'll download and install it, but I don't want to screw with it unless it's completed
since I've had problems in the past...
