I've done a search & see that many here have had problems with Thief Gold freezing during the intro movie to Bonehoard. I skipped the level movie intro (which freezes halfway through just like it does for others here). I go right to the game, but it still freezes on loading at the mission list. I'm using the American original version - bought new back in the day - & am running it on Windows 7 with the fixes in the tafferpatcher (thank goodness this exists, or my heart would break not being able to play this game again). I know I'm probably missing something, but my software tech expertise isn't on the high end of the spectrum & short of the obvious fixes I've seen posted here, I'm stuck. Help, please!! :confused:
update: my mistake, I installed both TG & T2 so I could get it all done at once. Tafferpatcher for T2, but ddfix & related patches here on TG
Nevermind: Since it was such an unusual problem (couldn't find any instances where the game ran for several levels to freeze arbitrarily), I just did a complete reinstall (after copying saved queue) - I don't know what the problem was, but it's working now. I suspect a slightly older version of ddfix or something like that.
