Hi,
I'm playing Ominous Bequest - fantastic mission so far, but unfortunately I have serious sound problems. Often the footsteps even on marble are totally silent - mine and the guard's one. (creepy feeling - they sneak behind me and give me a whack out of nowhere - changed roles, I guess, now I know how they feel :laff: ).
Sounds for doors, lockpicking, taking gold etc. are missing very often, too - but interestingly not the atmosphere background sound.
With this lack of acustic orientation it's very hard for me to play - especially with no knockouts. Has anyone else encountered that problem, too?
Any advices? (with other recently played missions I had no trouble)
greetings

Hmm, I can't remember anybody else who's encountered this kind of problem. Are you playing the German version? Try installing the Original Missions in DarkLoader and then reinstall Ominous Bequest. Maybe that helps...

Footstep sound disappears if you have two copies of Thief 2 running, and this problem persists until you close all copies of Thief 2 and start fresh. Could that be it? I assume not, but it is worth a try....

While I've come further in the mission now I realized that in beneath ground level - church, crypt - sound is perfect. I encounter that only in the house area. and yes, I'm playing german version - if that could cause the problem I will give that original installing a try. So if no one else had sound problems here, its probably something wrong with my installation...
thanks, Eshaktaar, for such a great mission - and sorry for being fuzzy :rolleyes:

Have you found [SPOILER] the way into the vault yet? The pole you need to open the attic trapdoors is locked away in there. [/SPOILER]

The "look to the stars" hint is trying to encourage you to look at that dragon painting you find - it's one of your objectives, but I forget its actual name.
[SPOILER]The position of the stars in the dragon are the position you need to place the eight switches to open the inner vault[/SPOILER]
If you are still having troubles with this puzzle, have a look at (

I have one objective left (until I can get to the next currently blocked location that is :confused: ) and it's driving me nuts.
The objective is: Find information about a mages order below...
Thanks!
