I have the same problem here in 1.27. I tried everything, but nothing helps. When I go in game mode first time everything is OK, but second time the arrows, the KOed Ai's etc just floating in the air.
Reload? You mean you set gam_mode_backup 0, played for some minutes, back again in game mode and you see floating objects?

Yes and I had to restart Dromed in order to get things right. But I found something. I had an object without Rotation, Location set and every time when I entered in game that falled down and I got a yellow message in monolog that the respective object is out of world and physics are disabled. Finally I corrected it and the whole floating bug disappeared as well for now, since then not happened. It would be strange if this would the source of a global problem, there is not much chance to be so, but the bug hasn't happened since. Anyway, I made a test in real game on a totally different Thief install and looks like the real game is not affected. Saved, reloaded, exited, restarted several times and there was no such problem with my FM, and I don't really care about it because I finished the mission anyway. I'll look forward to the beta testers report and I hope that they will confirm it. If something changes, I'll tell you.

John, did you reinstall Thief 2, and if so, did it resolve this bug?
Sensut, I'm very enthusiastic to play your next FM. If you find a solution, please be sure to post it here!

I was using 1.25 and the arrows got stuck. After installing 1.27 I got the same issue. I wonder if it has anything to do with the physics engine.
Yes I'm now using 1.27. I noticed that my monolog has about 20 of the same 'object out of world' lines as Sensut mentioned, but they don't appear every time I go into game mode. I'll check each object and see what's going on.

Correcting that object's position unfortunately did not solve the problem and the arrow and other dropped objects freezing still came out a few times after that, but now is absolutely certain that this issue does not affect the real game. Still I don't know what could caused it, but one thing is sure, my gamesys is too old. I use the same gamesys for years since New Dark was released, just clean up a bit before every new mission and probably something messed up in it. It is time to setup a brand new gamesys and I hope I will not run into anything like this anymore.
