I can only get Thief Gold to run on my computer by using DDfix. However when I install & optimize with Darkloader to play fan missions the game crashes when launching. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times trying the installations in different order but nothing works. Is there certain order to install these? Anyone else had this problem? I have an Nvidia 8600 running Windows XP SP3.
Thanks! :confused:

Hi Triam
* Uninstall and reinstall TG - then check that Tg fires up and runs for more then 30sec.
* then run Darkloader and let it optimize
* then install DDfix.
If you still keep having probs, then uninstall TG & Darkloader. Then Reinstall TG and install Garretloader instead.

Thanks for taking the time to reply Bikerdude.
I got it working by using Disc 2 in the installation drive like you are supposed to. I had altered the install.cfg to make a no-cd hack. Optimizing with Darkloader did something that broke the no-cd "fix".
I'm sure glad this forum exists and there is support for these awesome games. Still playing Thief and fan missions 10 years later and hopefully for 10 more. Viva Thief!

Hi Triamalese
You still can use the no-cd fix, I absolutely hate having to dig out my cd's for thief or any other game I play so I always use a no-cd fix etc.
Once you have found the appropriate fixed thief.exe (which i cant help you with of course) just edit the following line in install.cfg so it looks as follows.
;cd_path < your thief game path >

Ok, thanks Biker. I'll give it a shot.
