Hello all,
I seem to have problems patching my Thief 1.14 to 1.33 using the patching .exe which I downloaded directly from Eidos. The patching .exe patches a few files, but in the end I get an error message:
"Patching errors have occured. Old File not found. However, a file of the same name was found. No update done since file contents do not match."
I am not using any other patches and this error occurs after a fresh install of Thief 1 from CD-ROM. I am using a european (a german, to be exact) version of Thief 1 and I downloaded the patch from eidos.de. Just for fun I also tried downloading the patch from the Eidos US-site (binary comparing the files show that the "german" and "US" files are identical), but that results in the same error message. The patch is apparently also available to other sites (e.g. thiefmissions.com, again it's the same patching file), but these don't work, either.
Can anybody point me in the right direction for a fix to this problem? I'd really like to play with the patched version of Thief 1...
Thanks in advance,
aro

Seems to me that you already have 1.33.

No, I definitively don't have 1.33 yet; right-clicking on thief.exe gives 1.14 under "product version"...

The Soldout version is different. I know you said you have the German version, but if it is the Soldout copy from EIDOS UK you need that patch.
To double check, start a mission then hit Shift>Alt>V and the "running" version should appear on the screen.

It's been rather disheartening to hear of all the problems with the Sold-Out releases of Thief expressed in the forums lately. Hopefully, if I need to purchase the games from them some day, the problems will all be worked out here.:erg:

Ok, I started a mission and hit Shift>Alt>V. Result: "Thief 1.14" is displayed.
How do I check if I have the Soldout copy of Thief 1? And where can I get the patch for the soldout copy?
Thanks,

Eidos America did the same damned thing with Thief 3, they put it up for sale on their website..unpatched, and they also 'forgot' to include the movies in the installer. Why wouldn't they be selling Thief Gold? It's the latest version of T1.
