Hi-
I hope this isn't answered anywhere, and I hope this is the right place to ask. I tried searching already, and didn't find anything.
I recently dusted off Thief Gold so that my girlfriend can try it (she likes it so far). I have ddfix and the widescreen patch installed. Almost everything is working great, except that for some reason, the "Objective Complete" notifications are missing. There's nothing on screen, and no sound. As far as I can tell, nothing else is missing. Other on-screen text is fine (such as the quick save notification). What would have caused the objective notification to go missing? Could it have gotten messed up when I was installing or uninstalling FMs? Anyone know how I could fix it?
Thanks,
Chris

Hey Chris. I can't say I've heard of this one yet. I'm sorry to hear it's happening while introducing someone to the series, too. Drag and drop the *.mis files and RES folder off the game disc into your main install folder, and don't play through DarkLoader/GarrettLoader.

Uhm, unless I'm just flat-out remembering wrong here, you don't get onscreen objective complete notifications or sounds in T1/G, as you do in T2.

Yes! Sorry, yeah. Only "New Objectives" will appear outside of the Training mission. So both Cragscleft and Assassins, for example, should have that moment, among others.
No secrets or objective completion alerts before TMA.

Oh man. Thanks! I could have sworn there was a sound when Bafford's scepter was snagged (and every other time an objective was completed), but it's been a long time since I played any Thief 1 / Gold. I guess I'm just used to the Thief 2 way of doing things. I just speed-ran through a few fan missions to test it out, and I did get the "New objectives" message and sound in one of those, with no other notifications otherwise. I wasted a lot of time.

New objectives, maybe - complete, I don't think so. Then again, I don't play TG OMs or FMs much either so i may be wrong.

Just to confirm...Yandros is correct.
But after you play T2 and then 400 T2 FM's , you sort of get used to hearing the chimes!:D

Thanks, Scott. Never thought you'd be the one to confirm I'm not losing my mind! :p :joke:
