howie, if you want more specific help on how to do the tomb, just e-mail me and I'll walk you through it. It would be a shame to let this take the fun out of the mission for you. Just tell me exactly how far you've gotten and where you're stuck. :)

That's ok Nightwalker. I made it through, but it was a rough ride. The #1 objective keep checking off that I gave myself away as a thief. The skull did not destroy me, the objective checked off with the skull and crossbones, but I got by with quickness of weapon.
I'm stuck again, when I returned to the rented room, the people inside attacked me, as a theif. I don't know why. I did not walk in with any weapons drawn. I just walked in. This mission hates me. :(

You're really having a rough time of it, alright. No one should be attacking you if you have no weapons drawn. If they're alerted the mission should end. I don't exactly know how you can get through this if you're being attacked. [SPOILER]You have to get a key from the old lady to get into your room. [/SPOILER] Maybe someone else will have an idea. :)

Howie, are you running with the patched version of Thief2? To check, right click on thief2, select the version tab, and click on product version at the bottom. It should read 1.18.
Nightwalker, there are two there. The other is on a relatively obvious climbing destination. To get to the one you spotted, you need to power climb. :) That's done by holding down both up+left or up+right while climbing. Choose your route carefully. It doesn't look possible but it is and that's the beauty of it. :)

Huntress has played it with little to no problems and her game is not patched. Personally I think it's the processors. Correct me if I'm wrong but as I recall you, Huntress, Peter Smith, and Nightwalker all have AMD processors on your systems --> The other beta testers ? Mine is not, mine is Intel. I think the processors are interpreting the scripting data differently which is causing all the problems. Do a problem pole man and find out.

-OS (?)

Howie, a number of people with odd problems have patched Thief and their problems have gone away. Based on this evidence, I believe that unpatched has problems and the patch fixes them. Since CL was developed entirely on the patched version, I don't find this surprising. If you'd like to be among the people who don't experience the odd problems caused by playing on the unpatched version of thief then you patch your version of Thief.
You might be able to copy your saved games from the saves directory to a safe location before the patch and copy them back afterwards to avoid having to restart the mission. That might work. One person said it did.

-OS (?) I'm positive that Purah's right. I was playing without the patched version and I had real problems in Beta testing. AMD 900 384MB RAM. This mission will not work without the patched version of Thief II.
