Thank you so much! It seems to work beautifully other than it didn't like a couple of FMs I had in my folder. I've always preferred Darkloader and an updated one is just what was needed. :)

Did you select the path to 7z
G.exe? It sounds like you selected 7zFM.exe instead.
Yes that was the problem :o thanks for taking the time to make this, looks very nice:thumb:

I think I found an issue. I have play a few missions without issues. However when I played Black Frog it takes a long time to load save games and even once the mission took a bit. Its only happening in new dark loader. Any ideas what could be going on? Maybe its just the campaign itself? Thanks for any help!

I just fired up The Black Frog with NDL, played awhile doing numerous saves and reloads, and even quit and restarted a saved game, but I wasn't able to duplicate your experience with this particular FM. Sorry.

Have you used FMSel to load that FM? Both programs are just things that get called by Thief2, extract the contents of an archive to a folder, return some data to Thief2, and then they go away. In other words, it's Thief2 (the NewDark version) that handles playing the game and loading savegames. NewDarkLoader shouldn't cause this kind of problem, so it's worth checking out FMSel to see if you get the problem there too.

I'm wondering if perhaps some mods are being loaded under one installation that aren't in the other, and those extra resources are slowing things down.

I tried Black Frog earlier both with and without mods (all the ones from Tafferpatcher) enabled and it runs and reloads normally for me as well. Perhaps if they're using something like the HD Mod it might slow things down on some systems, regardless of the FM loader used.

I only used tafferpatcer and whatever comes with it. I think it may be just black frog as I have tried a few others and no issues
