I haven't installed the widescreen patch in a while. I did it for my laptop, and I think I did it BEFORE installing thief 2 multiplayer and it works fine. So if you haven't, try installing the widescreen patch first and then thief 2 multi.

Just thinking aloud. Might it be possible to add an option that allows the client-player to teleport to a location beside the host-player? I was just thinking about some FMs where there is a one-shot teleport/access for one player that would leave the 2nd player behind ... Ominous Bequest (I think?), Victor Gaspor, the tomb in Calendra's Leg., a lot of others. Then I was thinking one cheap "fix" might be a console command to just teleport the 2nd player to a location beside the 1st, and then they can continue on together as usual.
I realize it might be a kind of "cheat", but it's better than not getting to play some FMs at all; might be even good if it's disabled by default but you can specially enable it (by uncommenting a line of text in the .ini or something) just to deal with the problem FMs. Edit: Or has this already been thought of? Or is it actually not as bad as I thought (e.g., most teleports in FMs are actually not one-shot).

That's an interesting idea. I don't know if it could be done though.

Gosh, damm it.I hosted and wanna play with my friend.I don't have any firewall.When my mate connects i pressed "Continue" and it freezes at "Synching...".Someones have idea what is the problem? :(

Please explain more. Do you mean that your computer freezes up, or thief just appears to be doing nothing? That is, can you alt tab out of thief and get back to your desktop?
Are you sure you aren't using a firewall? What about your mate? Is he using a firewall?
One suggestion I will mention is to try Hamachi.

That's just what I was going to say. Try Hamachi. I had some weird connection issue the first time I tried too, but it worked like a charm through Hamachi.

Well, considering that Hamachi merely allows one to access ports, wouldn't a program like (
http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source.html) OpenVPN suffice? It's as cheap as free, and no limits.
I could try it later... I found it on wiki under the same page listing as Hamachi.

Hmmm. Cannot see any server and when I start a new server I get a message about: "Failed to contact on global server. Yourr server will not be listed" (My port is opened)
Any idea?
Will we get new version ever?
sNeaksieGarrett on 9/5/2010 at 03:11
I have to ask - are you sure it isn't being blocked by firewall?
And as has been posted just above your post, you could try hamachi.

Hi, I've just discovered we could play Thief online. I have got Hamachi and i'm wondering if anyone could play...
For some reason, it saiys there is always 0 servers, anytime...
This is maybe not the right topic for a request like that, but I don't know where I could ask it.
