The Metal Age on Windows 7

Broan on 16/3/2011 at 01:43

I loved the first two Thief games. Didnt care so much for the third one due to the loading areas and after playing The Metal Age, which was my favorite, the third one lacked the same sense of style as the first two games. In any case, I am looking to buy The Metal Age to replay it and also to introduce my son to the game but my understanding is that it will not work properly on the newer OS. I have Win 7 and Radeon HD 4670 vid card. Will it be possible to play on this system? Any advice given would be most appreciated since I am by no means a computer wizzard. Im struggling just learning this new operating system after using XP for so long.

Thanks in advance for any advice:D

Tafferpatcher is probably the easiest way to go: (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=131106)

I just installed it from the sold out CDs with no bother, just use the installer there and use the patches on there too rather than any downloaded ones

Merely installing the 1.18 patch may not be enough. Depending on your system, you may need at least DDFix.
