Again, the black borders are a totally normal thing if you have a wide screen monitor : the videos and game menus are of 4:3 aspect ratio, while in game it probably isn't if you got the resolution set to match with your monitor using TFix / DDfix / Darkwidescreen etc.
The items being more detailed is probably due to one of the various models/textures enhancement packs included in TFix.

I've also noticed that every now and then a "razor-ish" effect shows up, but only for a split second, if that.
almost sure this is a intel driver issue. as I said, updating the driver might fix it. or make it worse. with intel('s drivers), one never knows.

Sure enough, as soon as I finish Cragscleft, or rather, as soon as the intro clip to The Bonehoard plays, Thief Gold Crashes.
What's a taffer to do?
Any ideas on how to resolve this?

It seems it's crashing ONLY at the intro movie to The Bonehoard. If I click my mouse to prevent that movie from playing, I can still play the level. None of the other movies (thus far) have crashed.
Is there something particularly different about the intro clip to The Bonehoard?

as far as I know, no. but the video file might be corrupted for one reason or another - try playing B04.AVI (in the "movies" folder) with your video player.

You are right. It crashed my video player when I played it. I'm going to copy a new one over from one of the disks later today. I'll let you know how it goes. :thumb:

As I suspected, it crashed. i wonder what's wrong with this file? B04.avi
jbairdjr43 on 10/8/2012 at 04:01
Seems like B04.avi is a corrupted file. Anybody got any solutions or ideas on how to fix this?

Hmm if it is indeed corrupted then getting a non-corrupted copy of the file from another source should fix that.
You said at the beginning that you "had to force install Thief Gold" : did you install it from CDs ? Maybe these CD's surface isn't clean enough, or somehow damaged ?
You may try to copy the file again using such tools as Unstoppable Copier or IsoBuster, and see if it makes any difference ?
Or get someone to host a copy of that file for you somewhere — a single Thief video file weighs typically around 20 MB, which isn't much by today's standards.

I have a copy of TDP laying around here somewhere. I'll rip B04.avi from my TDP disc and see how that goes.
