nobody has found the loose floor tile in the cathedral?

I know it's in one of the Priest's rooms (in the courtyard guarded by archers). I'm not sure which one...just do what I did- visit all four and crouch walk through them looking at the ground until you find a tile that "lights up" when you look at it.

Intel core2 6600 @ 2.4GHz
2gb RAM
ATI Radeon HD 2400 pro

you didnt say what OS your running, I assume Xp as you only have 2 GB of ram.. and regarding your gfx card, the 2400 pro is extremly low end for any game, let alone TDM or even doom. The game Prey (which is based on Doom3 engine) only gets 22fps @ 1024*768, 0xAA, 0xAS, so Im suprised TSM is running at all on that card. I mean Im only getting 20-30fps@1680*1050,0xAA 4xAS, Bloom/Vsync off - in some parts of the forest on my HD5870 and Qx9650.......

I seriously and strongly recommend that you upgrade and even a modest budget of $50 will provide you with a card that will play TDM and other contemporary games.

If you can find a one i recommend a HD3850 (mostly second only these days), otherwise the best card for (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131178) $50 is the HD4650, or if you can stretch to (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150475&cm_re=GT240-_-14-150-475-_-Product) $75 the nVidiaGT240.

[update:] I found an open box(second hand with warranty) GT240 from (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125304R&cm_re=GT240-_-14-125-304R-_-Product) NewEgg for $61 you cant beat that price.

I've just encountered a crash-on-load problem in mission 2: I hit quickload and the screen fades a bit, stalls, and a Windows error message saying it has crashed comes up ("would you like to report? yes/no"). is this the same one other people are having?

is there a solution to the savegame problem, besides letting it crash and restarting it every time? I suppose another option is to never make a mistake that requires reloading, but I'm not that good :p

Bikerdude: thanks for the info, but I have a slim case that only accepts low-profile cards. I'm looking through similar cards with that requirement, but the names and numbers don't mean anything to me anymore :tsktsk: PM me if you have any suggestions

Using multiple savegame slots doesn't prevent the problems, but you don't have to backtrack so much if you can load up a save from 5-15 minutes before your crash. (I don't know if it helps in your case but it helped in mine in multiple missions, so...)

Its a shame that the tech issues are up to page four now - as this really is a stunning and really well made campaign.

Well GC did push the boundaries of what TDM is capabule of atm, so there was bound to be some tech issues.

I'm sure with the release of 1.02 (which is soonish) we'll see the stability of things go up :)

100% loot and objectives on Missions 1 & 2, still looking for some loot in Mission 3.
Had a real blast.

Amazing campaign, and a true demonstration that The Dark Mod is nothing less than the true sequel to Thief 1 & 2. There are still quite a few rough edges (crashes, performance, AI, combat), but it's already miles beyond Thief 3 and most of the Thief FMs - yes.

I hadn't felt that tense and completely immersed feeling since early FMs. Great.
