T2 FM: Insanity's Crescendo (6 May 2010) - Updated to v1.2, 22 Aug 2010

This is not a NewDark bug. There's a famous mission with that bug (https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=74855&p=2395845&viewfull=1#post2395845) (Elevator Mission 9). The bug has been there since dedx was introduced. The longer you stay in a mission walking around, the more likely you hit it.

I'm not sure what's causing it. Every (temporary) event needs an ID in DromEd, such as SFX, blood, exmoss... They have tweq-->delete property to avoid problems.
If I query that metaproperty (M-SilenceEffectX), there's no result. But prox: fungus is being used. So must be a strange side effect. Maybe a stim that's stimulating forever. The Garrett archetype has the receptron for SilentStimx which adds the metaproperty M-SilenceEffectX.

This is getting technical.

Haplo on 14/3/2019 at 22:31

Thanks for explanation. And I don't mind technical.
It is weird that this problem happens even if the usage of M-SilenceEffectX is not triggered.

I installed both fixes. I made greater progress, but I encountered the same issue as before. My game would crash after saving and the previous saves would crash too. I did notice some slow down in the first floor of the mansion. After a bit, the lag stopped and the mission continued with no issue. I think it might just be how my computer is working. I have liked what I've seen. I'm probably going to end up watching fen's run through of the mission. I did manage to make it through the labyrinth.

@wolftodd: Please upload a savegame with the lag enabled or in the house.

wolftodd on 15/3/2019 at 21:33

here you go. (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BlhSKhTcJrUvOKJgQso7mqsukAo0Uggz/view?usp=sharing)
I don't know if it will work since I had various fixes applied to it, but I saved in the area I had the most issues. If you can't open in it, I had the most trouble in the kitchen area and the hall next to it.

Unna Oertdottir on 15/3/2019 at 22:50

Thanks. Which fixes did you apply?
The gamesys.dml isn't loaded in the savgame.
The renamed tnhscript module isn't loaded. That's bad.
The renamed nvscript module isn't loaded. But nvscript. That's okay.
I edited the (https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=131978&p=2416519&viewfull=1#post2416519) gamesys dml in order to load the scripts. Mission restart required.
I loaded it in the game. Can't notice any lags.
I also loaded the savegame in DromEd. No lags. I'll examine the savegame some more tomorrow.

Please post your PC specs and Thief2.log in code tags.

As for the dml: Put the code in a txt file. Save it as ic.gam.txt. Rename it to ic.gam.dml and put it in the FM folder.

So I have good news and bad news for you unna. The good news is that I managed to finish the mission. The bad news is that the mission is now pretty much far away from the original mission. Haplo helped me out with a special version. I'm pretty sure it came down to me installing either too many fixes or installing them incorrectly. The issue was probably had to do with me installing the dedx fungus fix incorrectly cause the issue, in hindsight, feels similar to what was happening when I first played the mission. I got lag around the same area both times. It went away after I got out of the area. I was probably more cautious with the saving the second time around. I will still give the stuff you requested. Hopefully it helps. Let me know if you'd like me to pack up the full fm folder for you to loot at.

You installed the game in a protected folder C:\Program Files (x86).
That's not good.

Copy the game and put it somewhere else, maybe C:\Games
Since you're still on ND 1.26, I recommend to update the game to ND 1.26. (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=149404) Quick update

The gamesys.dml will also work with that "new" version.

The hardware is okay. You're on Win 8. The main issue is the installation in the protected folder.

I gotta say I stopped playing this after 2 minutes, didn´t even bother to get into the mansion. Guards with eyes behind their backs are annoying and damn unrealistic. I wonder why you´d purposely do sth. like that:sweat:

It's only like that at the very beginning of this mission. Inside of mansion has normal guards. But it's still possible to KO every outside patrollers.
