Please note that this thread is for the Thief Series FAQ only. If you are having problems running the games then please create a new thread.

Vic 2.0 and Dresden - I've moved your posts to new threads.

Regarding DeadlyShadows some things seem to require an update in the Patches-section.

I guess instead of referring to the old 'WideScreenPatch', a link should be added to 'SneakyUpgrade', since it has more usefull things build in.

The link to John P's Collective Texture Pack is orphaned.
Obviously the author has decided to close his site.
See here : (http://www.john-p.com/) http://www.john-p.com/
The best thread on John P's patch is here: (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=106117) http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=106117
But finding a working download site is painful. Finally I found it here : (http://darkfate.org/view/details/patches/thief3) http://darkfate.org/view/details/patches/thief3

Thanks, will update the thread.

sNeaksieGarrett has updated the first post to include links to the NewDark patch, TFix and Tafferpatcher.

NB Both TFix and Tafferpatcher include NewDark.

still (potentially confusing) mentions of DDfix there.

I've updated the main post with a new question related to the New Dark version of Thief 2 and Tos' Multiplayer patch. I wasn't sure where to put it, but I put it under the Miscellaneous category.

Also, thanks to Nickie for being vigilant with regards to this thread being maintained and consulting with me on it.;)

Today I have added a question under Patches for Thief 2 regarding bug fixes for thief 2's original missions. AntiMatter_16 created (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=141121) a patch with bug-fixed versions of the OMs. (Note that you still require a legal copy of Thief 2 for these to be of use.)

The FAQ could use a mention of MrWynd's savegames:

I don't know what the best links for them would be these days. My own mirror, uploaded January 10, 2012, has had 68 downloads, so who knows how many the other scattered links besides mine have been downloaded from. Until I close my account or this gets arbitrarily deleted by a bot's request: (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?t0uflan5z91jna4)

there is still a lot of unhealthily outdated stuff in this FAQ.

But now there's a chance to fix it, since sNeaksie's still with us.
