The crashes are probably from being in areas I am not supposed to reach - [SPOILER]like the area above the 3 balconies over the canal. This is a 3 story bar/pub. I got to the top of the building and saw a brief glimpse of a transformer power station room[/SPOILER] then I was spat out of the game with a "windows error - do you want to send it etc".
Every time I try to box up to it from the roof next door I lose 2 or 3 health points when I place a crate.
Can you tell me how you got up above the third story pub?
Did you read the note at the beginning of this thread about the crates? I just added a note after I read your post... The red crates will hurt Garrett too.

John - really great level - I'm 52 but love thief.
I'm going to replay it in a day or so and will note where the frame rates drop off.
As I said in an earlier post, it didn't bother me that much because of the machine I'm using, but it was noticeable.
I have 42 processes running in the background of xp and I thought it might've been one of them causing the problem, so I didn't note exactly where it was the first time thru. Will keep an eye out next time and PM you if I remember.
Really good FM and very few errors. Keep up the good work.

I got onto [SPOILER]the top balcony and facing the canal, turned left and jumped up onto the rail and climb/jumped up onto the wall and got onto the roof (above sky level I suppose!) and then saw the generators for a second before windows threw me out with critical error - report it etc. I didn't need any crates.[/SPOILER]
Hope that is clear enough for you. I always try to go everywhere in a map and often get to places I'm obviously not supposed to get to.
I have sent you some screenies by email - hope they are clear enough.

I'm having the framerate problem, too. I am using an older PC, though (PIII 500, voodoo3 3000, 512 ram). I usually don't have many framerate problems. I've played Part 2 for about 20 minutes, and the problem starts no matter where I go. I can go back to an earlier save and play, but the problem reoccurs after only a few minutes. I've tried restarting my computer with no improvement.

I wonder if I am having the same problem as Sterlino did with Horns of Canzo. Didn't he say there was a frame rate problem because of the DedX AI having too many receptrons?
:confused:

Zwolf - thanks for the hint about the window - I passed it a dozen times - was looking for a plain glass one and not a painted one.
Your problem with the metal door :
[SPOILER]In that bedroom - above the bed is a high window with curtains - hidden switch in top right corner under edge of frame which opens a panel beside that bedrooms light switch - key found.[/SPOILER].
Great level - going to play it again very soon - it's 1am now and time for some sleep.
Thanks Teemac, ya know I roped up there a couple of time and didn't see anything. I'm off to try again! :cheeky:

I really enjoyed this fm. Solid traditional Thief gameplay and it held my interest. I had no flawed video or frame rate problems mentioned by some.
What surprized me was that I missed half of the loot. It must be well hid, so
I think I will be continuing for a good while yet. I hope I find another gas arrow to k.o. that helmet guard. He is one persistent bugger!

If you found the one in the armory, then there is another one hidden somewhere... :cheeky:

The blacksmith is the building with the double doors. The sign in front has three gears on it.
Roughly in what area of town is it in? :confused: I've been all over the city, but I can't for the life of me find it. I've completed all the other objectives, though, :cool: and once again, you somehow managed to make a city FM that I liked. :thumb:
