Does anyone know a fix for the consistent stutter? It seems to be a vsync issue as It occurs every second like clockwork, almost as though it skips a few frames, or doubles them. Turning off vsync doesn't help. I remember this was an issue in ES Oblivion as well, something about the cpu clock syncing/updating at 64hz that was fixed in the Oblivion Stutter Remover.
I'm running Windows 10 64, and I have the Sneaky Upgrade Installed.

Where did I mention anything about sluggish movement? My focus is the micro stutters/pauses that occur every 60 frames.

Periodical stutter like you describe is new to me (or I don't remember :)). A couple of general suggestions - try one at a time:
* When you have the game running, hit the Windows key. Then open Task Manager and raise the priority for the Thief3 process to 'high'. (Right-click on it in the Details tab, select Set priority...) Then go back to the game.
* Copy the d3d8.dll file from (
http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2_53.zip) dgVoodoo into the System folder in your install. (You should see a watermark in the game.) This will make the game run on D3D11, which may make a difference
If you try these, please post your findings whether it helps or not.
