Hi,

I'm new here and desperation has brought me here. I have tried several guides to get T2 installed on XP all without success although I came very close.

I had the best success using this guide (www.johnanthonycurran.com/thief.html#Thief) II: The Metal Age only thing I did differently to that guide was install the latest version of ddfix instead of the older one he has linked.

The game installed fine and I patched it with Thief 2 Patch, Dromed Patch from (www.thief-thecircle.com/media/patches/) and I then used his patched thief2.exe file followed by the latest ddfix.

The game actually worked 100% in glorious widescreen, I completed the first level and then started on level 2 and saved my game there. The next day when I tried to start the game (new game or my old save) the game would crash as soon as it transitioned from the menu to the game, I don't actually get to see the games screen at all.

Any ideas?

I'm running WinXP SP2 32-bit on a C2Q Q6600, 4GB ram, nVidia 9600GT

Just had a look and it's still the same.

I also went into the menu and checked video options and clicked on 1920x1080 just to be sure and now the game works fine again!

I will look into tafferpatcher thanks.
