I have a Athlon 64 dual core processor, I installed and went to play Thief DS and the intro movie kept playing.
So i read the thief series faq technical thread regarding the The Intro movie keeps repeating and I can't start a game!.
I tried what it explains here It is very likely that you have a Dual Core processor, such as an AMD Athlon 64 X2 or an Intel Pentium "D" which is the cause of the problem.
The solution is to set Thief III to use only one core. This can be accomplished by entering the Processes tab of the Task Manager when the game is running, right clicking each of the Thief III-releated processes (T3Main.exe, T3.exe), selecting "Affinity" and unchecking one of the CPUs.
I tried it and kept flickering back to desktop then back to intro movie and it wouldn't work,so i tried this new thing that AMD had to download called the AMD Dual-Core Optimizer i installed it and went to play TDS and the intro movie started so i skipped it and it went straight to the menu.
So the optimizer worked so if anybody who has a AMD 64/FX processor and has this problem give this a go first.
Here's the link for it (

So if Azal,Zaphod,Biohazard who moderates the thief series general discussion, want's to put this thread in the thief series faq technical thread as it is now locked , They can go for it.:thumb:
I'm one happy chappy now back to playing TDS:)
