Hey folks, long time/no time :)
I reinstalled Thief Gold after, I dunno, a decade? Anyway, using latest version of TFix to make it run on my machine.
I finished Assassins, but it crashes when the loadout screen starts to appear for Thieves Guild. I've reloaded my savegame in Assassins, finished it again, but I still get the same results in the same spot.
Anyone else experience this sort of behavior in the game, or know what I can do to get Thieves Guild running?

post logs and the crash dump? (crash.dmp, is probably large but should zip very well). any additional texture packs/mods?

Nope, I have the discs for TG. Installed from those.

Okay, here's a link to the crash.dmp:
No mods, just the options with TFix.
Can you clarify what those options are? Your thief log file mentions all sorts of mods.
A while ago I got a crash in a fan mission because one of the objects in its loadout screen had been replaced by one of the well known mods. This gave it a .dds texture, which the loadaout screen cannot handle.

Tfix has the following options (and what I have on and off):
T2 Skies - on
T2 Water - on
Thief Enhancement Pack - on
T2 Style World Textures - on
T2 Style AI Meshes - on
Interactive Candles - OFF
OldDark Legacy Engine - OFF

nothing interesting in the log, crashdump not checked yet. can you share a save from the end of Assassins in the meantime?
what happens if you load that save and ctrl+alt+shift+end finish the mission?

No problems here when finishing "Assassins" and then going up to the loadout screen before "Thieves Guild". Neither several versions of the EP2 nor the newer (2015) version of the Necro Age texture pack chnaged that. Even placing both packs in the Thief 1 game folder did not yield anything unusual.
AFAIK, the loadout screen for "Thieves Guild" offers a few items for the first time in the game: Explosive mines, Fire arrows, and Flasbombs, and possibly the Speed potion. With keeping R Soul's post in mind, I dare to carefully point a finger at these objects' graphics files... but still, I cannot get anything to crash here.
Note that I did not take the EP2 and Necro Age packs from the TFix package, but used separate downloads. If the latest version of TFix includes some older version of the EP2 (or even its predecessor, the EP.crf), this could possibly explain something.

yes, TFix has a custom version of EP1 included, objects only. not a problem I'm very sure.
he definitely has something unusual going on, possibly some item acquiring an invalid prop that makes the game crash. if the save is corrupted, it should crash for me as well.
