The program starts normally, i can modify controls and so on, but when i try to start new game or load game (it has worked before), i can still choose what would i like to load and i see it loading, but when i could get playing screen just turns black. I also see error message: Direct3d device driver does not accurately report texture memory usage. Contact your 3d accelerator vendor for updated drivers, and the game shut downs. What does this mean?
Btw there is exactly same error when i try to play system shock.

May I suggest you take a look at the bright red FAQ at the top of this forum, especially the section titled Direct 3D Device does not accurately report texture memory usage, or Help! I only get a black screen!

I can't believe i didn't saw that one...
I downloaded the direct3d texture error fix, but when i try to start the fixed thief, it just tells about missing cd, even when the cd is in the drive.
And there weren't fixes about that for thief 1, just for thief 2.

Are you sure you DL'd the correct patch for your version of the game?
There are three. Find your T1 directory, right click on THIEF.EXE----------------->properties----->version tab----->product version and look under the value column. It sould read 1.14, 1.33, or 1.37 (thief gold)

Poor David. That's the second time this week!
Riku on 31/7/2006 at 18:05
Yes my version is 1.14, and i downloaded the right patch.

It seems to be working now with version 1.33 texture fix, though my thief is 1.14.

Why didn't you patch it to 1.33 anyway?
