Hi,
I just recently installed Thief DS on my newer computer and I am having difficulties getting it to run properly. It installs fine however when I run the game, it will go cycle through the intro movie over and over again, not allowing me to get to the main menu. I do not believe I have encountered this problem before with any of the Thief games. This could be a simple issue, and if so, forgive my ignorance. Thanks!
Specs: AMD Athlon 64 FX-62 Dual
Core Processor
2.81 Ghz, 2.00 GB of RAM
GeForce 8800 GTX

Bump. Thief Deadly Shadows may be cool, but is giant pain in the ass to get running.
I have an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core. I've just installed Thief Deadly Shadows (for the second time) and could get it to run just fine. Then, I installed (silly me) Garrett Loader, then TDS gave me the "intro screen keeps repeating and I can't start a game". Sigh. I did the temporary "set Affinity" to one processor, then it worked. So why the hell did it work before, then suddenly I have to Set Affinity? Sweet Zombie Jesus. :weird:
I've tried the "permanent fix" as outlined in Salvage's guide, but how do I write the "processor.bat" file for T3.exe and T3main.exe??? :confused:
This is @#$!!!! annoying.

You run Notepad and paste two lines like this in it:
imagecfg -a 0x1 C:\games\thief3\system\t3.exe
imagecfg -a 0x1 C:\games\thief3\system\t3main.exe
and then save the file as processor.bat not .txt
OR
just type those lines in the windows Run box or Command(dos) window, and hit Enter after each.

EDIT: I think I got it.
EDIT AGAIN: Nope. My processor.bat looks like this:
imagecfg -a 0x1 t3.exe
imagecfg -a 0x1 t3main.exe
pause
Now I try to run Thief 3 and NOTHING HAPPENS. What the hell is going on? T3.exe is using processor 1, t3main.exe processor 0. How can I undo this?

Maybe delete the the t3 and t3main files from the windows prefetch folder:
C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch\

I found an old thread that said to set compatibility to Win 98, so I'll try that, and nuts to this crap.
