Hi guys, I don't know if this was answered already, but a quick skim didn't provide me much.
I recently booted Thief 2 after many years and just did the steam install Thief2 and applied T2Fix_1.27e_with_mods.exe and it kinda works but when I booted up Godbreaker (great first mission so far!) I encountered a couple of things that bothered.
1) The mission seems to stutter. Not unplayable, but does impact my immersion and gets more annoying over time.
2) The papyrus seems to be rather low-res. I wouldn't mind normally, I don't know if it's 1440p res fault but even the font is noticably pixelated. Is there a fix to this or no?

I have a low end pc and I had to disable all post processing effects that tfix adds for the game to work. You can find them in cfg_cam, maybe that will help. Google around the different graphcal options that file gives you.
FMs are usually bigger and more demanding than OMs. Second mission of godbreaker stutters a little whenever I look south for some reason, no matter what I do.
The papyrus stuff I don't even know.

The papyrus problem may be caused by the Enhancement Pack 2 (EP2). If you use the EP2, you can quickly turn it off by renaming the ep2.crf file. Then, check whether that helps. Both readables that can be found in Conall's home in the first mission (the one on the floor and the one on the thug's belt) were hard to read for me with the EP2, but looked fine without it.
Whether other readables in the mission are affected, I do not know. Generally, this problem often appears when the EP2 is used and a mission uses the PARCH and PARCH3 types for a papyrus or other paper sheet. The graphics of the paper sheet and the text font do not fit togethet very well then the EP2 is used.
Concerning performance problems: I noticed them too, on one of my machines. The weird thing is that this machine has better graphics hardware than the other which did not give me any stutter.
