Hey folks. I know that this is wrong in many ways (of a forum), but I easily get lost in threads and posts etc.
I just bought the game to a modern up-to-date 21-century computer, and I'm running into a lot of problems and have many questions (Which I know there's solution too somewhere out there) Please help a thief fan who's never played the original thief game:angel:
I have WINDOWS XP and a GeForce 7800GS card.
1.0 : I have started the installation with the "e:\setup.exe -lgntforce" command.
and I've installed the game. BUT! When I try and run it, it says that there
is a problem with my Indeo-Codec or something.
How do I fix this?1.1: I've surfed the forums a bit and notices that people are talking about some
movie cut-scene problem?
What is this?1.2: Anything else I should know about?
2.0: Something about a texture pack? Greater tex. look? Where do I find this
and are there problems I should be aware of?
THANKS A BILLION TIME!:) :laff: :D :p ...:( :cool:
EDITI've now done many of the things that should help you play the game, but without result. I'll describe what I've done:
1 : I started the installation with the "e:\setup.exe -lgntforce" run command.
Installation succesful 2 : I then needed to download the alternative codecs from (
http://www.thief-thecircle.com/download.asp?fid=876) HERE.
Fix succesful3 : I now started the game, and everything worked fine right until the mission loader right after the briefing. (Training mission) I read
(http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=120418) HERE that I need to downgrade drivers to my Nvidia card.
So I found the Nvidia archive and downloaded ver. 163.75 (Also downloaded other downgrades).
Downgrade unsuccesful .. Didn't work.
4 : Then I find something called DDFix?. What's this. I don't know. Lets try it anyway... Nah..
Didn't work either.
Downloaded the file. Placed the .exe in the folder and lauched the game with that .exe - It said something like
"You don't have DirectX 6 or newer (I have directx9.0c positive). Bla bla bla, windowed mode... 3Daccelerator off... - Continue anyway! The crash's still there.
(I TRIED THIS WITH NEWEST Nvidia DRIVERS. 169.21)So I'm pretty stuck now. Don't know what to do now. Hope somebody can help(I have a GeForce 7800 GS and XP)
