Well, I've started to play with T3Ed but... whenever I do short right or left click in any window (I mean editor windows like "Top", "Front" etc.) I've got Victoria error "D3DRI->HitStack.Num() == 0". The rest of "Victoria" log doesn't matter. Reason of error could be found in Unreal Log: "Log: D3D Driver: LockRect failed (D3DERR_INVALIDCALL)". It's definitely driver/DirectX related problem. My relevant config info is Window XP Professional Service Pack 2 (it includes DirectX 9.0c) and Catalyst 4.12 on Radeon 9600XT based card. Of course, I have no such problems when playing ThiefDS and other DirectX games. Seems as this version of driver has error or feature in this LockRect function implementation... I'll search for some solutions but if anybody knows something about this problem, please help me.
Thank you

Solution was very simple - at least for Catalyst 4.12 and 4.4 (probably - for all Catalyst drivers or even for any drivers for any cards:)) Multisampling in game options (options.ini) should be set to 1! Sadly editor shares this option value with game:( Anyway now I can go forward just would warn you guys about this strange behaviour.

Where is options.ini? I can't find it in my Editor directory or subdirs...:confused:

File options.ini is in the "User Data" directory in "Saved Games" (sorry if I'm wrong with names - I haven't TDS installed on my PC at work yet :) ). Saved games directory by default is in the "Application Data\Thief Deadly Shadows" subfolders of your profile folder (in Windows 2000/XP it is [OS installation drive]\Documents and Settings\[your user name]). Sorry, again if I posted some wrong names. Anyway you can select Start > Search > Files and Folders and search all drives for options.ini. Also you may change antialiasing (or how it is called multisampling) settings via in game menu: just start t3.exe when your editor configuration is active and go to options in main menu. It would be saved in options.ini.

In your My Documents folder

Do you know how long it takes to Search a 120Gb with a 1.5GHz P4?? Quite awhile. Life's too short.
Thanks, Komag.
And for anyone looking for it, mine is under:
C:\Documents and Settings\My Name\My Documents\Thief - Deadly Shadows\SaveGames\User Options\options.ini
I'm assuming it's the correct one, but it's dated 2/25 and I've opened T3 and T3Ed today, and it's in a 'Thief - Deadly Shadows' folder when I've changed my install path, etc. Maybe the game/editor always uses that format no matter where it's installed.
