Anyone running Thief 1, Thief 2, and Thief Gold in win 7?

Any problems? Can one get Thief to run just like the way it runs in win98se?

:cool:

I run both thief gold and thief TMA in windows 7 with the various multicore fixes, thief multiplayer, and other patches. Works like a charm.

Deadly shadows, however, had some trouble during installation that I heard can be fixed but, since I'm not much of a fan, it didn't really bother me to try and fix it.

Also, I'm running windows 7 on a macintosh, so you should be golden :-)

I can run Thief on Win 7 64-bit without too much trouble. I did need to do the command-line trick for the Codecs (I guess that was T2 though), and the multicore fix. But other than that I'm surprised how well it works.

I don't recall problems with T3. I just haven't played it much since I don't enjoy it :p.

Just finished playing TG and TMA on Win 7 x64 in 1920 x 1080 delight...:D...everything worked great except for the fog effect in TMA.

I was going to play TDS next, but got caught up in some new FM's instead.

Please remind me of what the fog effect is and where in the game it is?

If you have a Nvidia card and running Vista or 7, no fog appears in Life of the Party and Precious Cargo.

Thanks. I'll have to look those up.

What about if running an ATI card?

There are settings to try if fog is missing or rendering incorrectly, and drivers can be rolled back.
