There are two and it's old news. There is the THIEF COLLECTION which is TDP, TMA, and TDS.
There is THIEF THE COMPLETE COLLECTION which is GOLD, TMA, and TDS.
All are supposed to be ready to run on VISTA, XP, and WIN7.
They do install and run with no tweaks on XP.

I own BOTH of these collections. Running WIN 7 x64(SP1) with a quad CPU i7 950 chip. I have to use DDfix; obviously. :angel:

Well if they don´t work without DDfix, then its not worth buying this collection, as i already own them. That´all i wanted to know, thanks Headbone.;)

They're the same versions that they've been releasing for years. No fixes since Eidos made no effort to find the source code over the years. They 'could' release updated versions now that they've been given the code, but I highly doubt they ever will.

They did make minor "fixes". They now load and run with out the ntforce command, and if you don't have widescreen you need no tweaks. If you do, then, of course, ddfix is a one you might need.
You might have to use the infinity change for multi-core but that's it.
But if your only exposure is TDS and you want to run the older verisons (GOLD and TMA) on a Vista, XP, or Win7 system it's worth the money.

I don't think they made those fixes, I think they just got worked out in later versions the OS's. I only had to use the ntforce command with Windows 2000 and an early version of XP.

You could be correct. Not reverse engineering the disc, I only know that it is a load and run with no tweaks, as opposed to the originals.
