Did you install the enhancement pack? Then deinstall it with Tfix. If the game is in a protected folder, move it and install EP again.

Reinstalling Tfix fixed it. Thank you!

I've run into a problem I know I've read about, but I have forgotten what the fix is.
I play Thief 2 fan missions using NewDarkLoader, the one that you start by starting Thief 2. Been playing a couple of missions like this with no issues.
But now:
- All AI in the mission are 'frozen' with arms straight outstretched. I can still hear their voices and they react to me like normal but they don't move.
- My weapons do not show up on the screen (only the little icons in the inventory) and I can't use them.
EDIT: Problem solved (hopefully)
For some reason, my Thief 2 folder was suddenly missing the motiondb.bin file.

EDIT: Ignore this, I fixed it.

Recently I have had very slow saving in Thief Gold and Thief 2. I reinstalled Thief Gold and Thief 2, and Tfix and Tafferpatcher. I seem to have fixed TG but I can't figure out T2. It actually didn't have a problem until I installed Tafferpatcher, and now I can't figure out how to uninstall it. Saving used to be fine for me, I don't know what's changed. For some reason there are zero TTLG threads on this which is weird because surely someone else has had this issue. Does anyone know a possible solution?

Copy the T2 folder to another folder, maybe
C:\Games
Delete the old savegames.

Obviously I'd do what Unna Oertdottir suggests but for future reference, to return T2 to its original state, just run Tafferpatcher again and untick everything you selected when you ran it the first time. I occasionally mess up my T2 installation so I always keep a 'vanilla' version of T2 on my hard drive which is then easy to copy somewhere else and then run TP on that which usually resolves all my problems.

Recently I started having problems with alt-tabbing Thief Gold and Thief 2. I used to be able to tab in and out of them instantly, but now, when I click on them to go back into them, they take a few seconds to pull up, with "Thief 2 Final 1.25" displayed in the corner of my screen. It also takes a few seconds to exit the game. Reinstalling Tfix did not work. Both games are running at the correct resolution. I am using the GOG versions.
This issue seemed to coincide with a Windows update if that means anything. I will try a clean install of the games. In case that fails, does anyone know what to do?
EDIT: Clean install does nothing.

Same issue with other games/programs?
