Have you got a "sod off graphics card" after I built this thing I had crash after crash after crash while playing COD Black Ops III, my son in law took a look and turned it's acceleration down and something else that I cant remember on the mobo (I'll ask him later if he remembers what it was and let you know) turns out the graphics card was too fast and was "smearing the pixels??? before they could register on the screen???.
Mobo is Asus Maximus VII Hero Republic of Gamers.
Sound is Asus Xonar Phoebus Republic of Gamers.
Graphics is Radeon R9 270X Toxic.
Other than that it might be an idea to do a reformat or change the HDD..there is something niggling away in the back of my mind that I have seen this before but my 60+ year old excuse for a brain just cant find it.
If yours is a radeon card there was a driver update that caused no end of problems...in the end I unistalled the graphics card and its drivers and reinstalled it, used it's oem disk drivers and stopped it automatically updating...this was on my earlier XP system after which everything settled down, that too involved crashes and video problems.

I just realized this thread has been going on for six years. :weird:

I'll give a +1 to Ravenhook. I had similar problems a few years ago and it turned out the capacitors on my MSI card had all popped their tops. It was was strange the card still worked for simple 2D, but not for 3D. It happened just as I tried to play a new slick T2 FM and I swore it had to be the FM, since it had fancy graphics. Logic got the better of me and I tried a different game. Same issues.
Maybe try another 3D game and see if you have the same issues, if you haven't already. Hope you get this sorted :)

Aside from the missing lower cuspid your dentition appears to be in admirable shape!

If it's a native resolution it should be available, but you can also add it in cam_ext.cfg by uncommenting the line ";user_mode1 1600 768 32 25 12" by removing the semicolon and changing the "1600 768" to "1920 1080". Still it sounds like Tafferpatcher didn't work right or else all this should be working fine.
Tried that but it went blackscreen.
Tried the whole TP install again but it didn't help.

Sounds like a lost cause. Maybe you could offer the mission up in the Editor's Guild and see if anyone could finish it for you?

You might ebay a used system that you could stick XP and a good nvidia card on, should work just fine-I have a backup computer that's a dell 330 with a new hard drive and Geforce 620 and it works fine with Thief. That's the easiest way to get around the horror that is Win 10 (at least until they figure out a way to run Thief on Linux!;))

I've run T2 on LINUX (Ubuntu) using Wine. Worked just fine, but I had to copy a full installed WIN version (easy) instead of trying to install it directly. I don't use the LINUX version, since my WIN 10 version works OK. They are both on the same box (dual boot). I've also got an older XP box that can play the older FMs, but chokes on the newest SoulTear type missions with lots of graphic goodies.
I wish I was close by to uncadonego. I think I could get things running. I bet it is a graphics card issue and/or drivers that are just slightly now compatible with Win10. I was having the same issues with an older card in my HP Z400 Xeon box, until I installed a newer card that was comparable with at least Win8. The older cruddy card I had was using compatibility drivers and no newer drivers beyond Vista were available for it. It's now in a nice static bag.
