Thief runs too fast... - by Vrbas

I forced v-sync in nvidia control panel and put my monitor at 60 refresh rate and the game is still in ultra speed. Hardware is On and Z-buffer is as well (dunno what any of those ancient things mean).
-Windows XP
-8800GT (2 of them but i disabled SLI for this game)
-2gigs RAM
-Core 2 Duo (i disabled one of the cores for this game and it made it run in-game movies and the missions since i figured the Dark Engine would have no idea what to do w/ 2 cores)
Again, not sure what to do so any advice would be appreciated.

Hi. Welcome to the forums. Yes, you did right to disable one core since thief hates 2 cores; it's been talked about extensively on this site. Anyway, perhaps ddfix could be of assistance? Do a forum search for ddfix.

Can't seem to trace any specifics on that search. Is it just a .ini file tinker?

It could help. DDfix slows thief down, I'm pretty sure. At least it does on my crappy computer. Besides, it's got a built in multicorefix to disable one of the cores.

Alright, i'll give that a try. Any other options i should keep in mind?
