And do all that just to support a decade old operating system. Though it's not set in stone, I have to say no. I'd rather fix the problems with the latest version. (As in "If your car cannot get up the hill, I'd fix it rather than push it to the top. But actually I'm not doing either because I'm late for work.") :ebil:

could someone please explain what this limbzbufferfix thing is again?

fix for the major ugliness that are T2 hands/limbs. it has been introduced in ddfix1.5.8, and that means if you have to use 1.5.6 for some reason (either running a hd radeon card under xp, or wine under linux or macos), you won't be able to use it.

That Thief2FixGUI--etc link is no longer downloadable. Is there some other way to get DDfix to work? There's no program on my computer that can open it yet.
(Good grief, this is some ridiculously complicated hoop-jumping to have to endure just to get the game movements to slow down to the right speed) :(
still that links is down i think. I have no any idea how to install this automatically. As the rar does not contain that file in it. Any more detailed help would be appreciated. I just want to download the latest DDFix. And whats that GUI version gotto be ??

@BrecMadak:
It was decided (for whatever reason) that the newest versions of ddfix would NOT include the GUI which was something created by
Timeslip a long time ago in an older vers of ddfix. I have a copy of said ddfixGUI.exe if you guys would like a copy and ya'll are not wanting to edit the ddfix.ini. Which to be honest is really not that hard to work with, all it requires is opening it up with notepad or some other text editor and changing some values of some settings to the desired values you want.
Without the ddfixGUI.exe, the way to activate ddfix is either to A.) install a prepatched exe or B.) Hex edit your thief exe and change ddraw.dll to ddfix.dll
I've uploaded ddfixgui with 1.3.11 of ddfix to (
http://www.gamefront.com/files/21354254/ddfixGui_1_3_11_7z) gamefront, for those that want it.

Hi!
I would like to ask for some help.
I have a 2007 HP laptop with Windows XP on it, and I could succesfully install Thief 2 and it's 1.18 patch. The game runs, but I'd like to improve graphics with ddfix. I installed the latest version of ddfix following the instructions, but when I open Thief2.exe, the main menu flashes, and I can't see where I click with my mouse. Any ideas to run it correctly? What do I need to change in ddfix.ini? Tried the safe mode, but it does the same.
thanks, ticky

You mean Tafferpatcher will solve this?
sNeaksieGarrett on 27/5/2012 at 15:23
You could use tafferpatcher, but if you want to troubleshoot with what you got, check your cam.cfg for the resolution and report back. Also, check ddfix.ini to see if there's gwidth or gheight
