Hello,
I wanted to play the FM The 7th crystal. After I finished act 1 (which consists only of a cutscene), I am thrown to the stats screen, and when I click continue, then there is a loading screen without text and the game screen freezes in this loading screen. Does anybody know this bug?
I am using the NewDarkLoader.

What happens if you press ctrl-alt-shift-end during the cutscene? I just tested mine and it loaded the second mission fine, also using NewDarkLoader

Works fine for me w/ AngelLoader
But I believe you can skip the vid and the first 'mission', which is just a cam-vator sequence by editing the Missflag.str located in
Thief 2\FMs\SeventhCrystal_The\Strings
To contain:
[
// Valid mission flags
//
// skip This mission doesn't exist; it should be skipped.
// no_briefing Skip the briefing movie
// no_loadout Skip the loadout
// cutscene Play a cutscene immediately afterward
// end End the game when this mission is completed
//
miss_1: "skip"
miss_2: "skip"
miss_3: "skip"
miss_4: "skip"
miss_5: "skip"
miss_6: "skip"
miss_7: "skip"
miss_8: "skip"
miss_9: "skip"
miss_10: "skip"
miss_11: "skip"
miss_12: "skip"
miss_13: "skip"
miss_14: "skip"
miss_15: "skip"
miss_16: "skip"
miss_17: "skip"
miss_18: "no_loadout, no_briefing"
miss_19: "no_loadout, no_briefing"
miss_20: "no_loadout, no_briefing, end"

Wow, I had no Idea this cheat existed!
Thank you all, it did work after I reinstalled the FM:)

Both versions of "7th Crystal" worked well here with a Thief 2 NewDark made with T2Fix v1.27d, and with NewDarkLoader 1.7.0 as the FM loader, on two different machines. Only the CamVator cutscenes had some timing problems, but finished without any crash. No idea what's wrong in Candyblock's case.
