I'm really sorry for this but I don't know why some of you experience this problem. I've checked everything over and over again but there's nothing unusual in the setup and we never had this problem during the beta test.

Here is a (http://www.mediafire.com/?m7wabt6m75oazef) savegame from just after burning the dress and diary. It worked for someone else so it should work for you too.

Probably not your fault. I think my Thief2 installation goes all the way back a few years to when I spent around 3 months fixing fog in DDFix. DarkLoader has around 60 FM's in it so I assume that they either worked correctly or I never noticed the issues. :laff: It may be time for me to do a clean TafferPatcher installation.

Anyway, thanks for a great mission! :thumb:

Thanks, that worked a treat. I think only one word sums up that ending - OMFG. :eek: Superb.

Can't get this game to play. It crashes on me as soon as I hit play. Have installed the patch. Any ideas?

You can unzip the archive, remove the movies and then rezip the archive. Or you can download the "no movies" version (http://www.file-upload.net/download-4264789/ADireReturn_NoCutscene.zip.html) here.

Thank you Tannar. That did it!

I need help finding the diary. I found the area with boxes in the west area but can't find the spot to dig. There is an area in one corner next to a target which has a small square but it does nothing when I try to use the pick (doesn't light up) and another area where a drain pipe is leaking, it is lighted with some ferm growing. Am I in the right area?

Tannar on 18/5/2012 at 04:37

Yes, that's the right area. Have you buried Sarah yet? You will have to do that before the diary can be dug up. If you've already done that and that square doesn't highlight, then there is a problem.

I need help about where to go next in this creepy mission. The answer is surely in the thread already but I do not want to read the whole thing for fear of getting spoiled (spoiler cover aside). I need a gentle push towards what I have missed.

The only place I have seen that I can not open is the back gate of the mansion (the one that used to have a lantern guard next to it).

I have a fair idea of what has happened because I´ve read the journal of the 'new lord' of the place.

I have found a shovel and a pick. These two tools can be 'used' like a key but I can not find any spot to use them on.

Suspicious areas include:
- storeroom in basement. Past a large mound of crates is a space with a target board, etc.
- small closed-off garden section you reach via crawlspace next to the shed by the start. There is what looks like a freshly dug grave here but I can not find anything frobbable.
