I'm stuck on Thief II, Trace the Courier. When Mosley drops the letter under the lamppost, I can't seem to pick it up. The letter doesn't highlight like interactable objects should, and right clicking does nothing.
I'm using the ddfix patch, and also the widescreen mod, but removing them doesn't seem to make any difference.
Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong? I can't find any information about this by googling.

Thats why its called Trace the Courier not the letter. Trace her first, see what happens.

I did follow her first. She eventually drops the letter at a lamppost, and then I'm supposed to pick it up. But I can't pick it up - it's on the ground, but it won't highlight. If I keep following her, eventually a pagan picks up the letter and then I fail.

Thanks, but I should have mentioned - I already have that installed.

Unfortunately, there are TWO couriers, she drops the letter, which is what you really follow, then the pagan picks it up.
But, the kicker is that you have to pick it up and read it, then replace it, then follow the pagan.

It's been a while since I played this level, but I seem to recall that the letter is hard to pick up unless you're very close to it. Try crouching next to the letter. It should highlight then.

To pick up the letter you need to be fast, if the pagan who's supposed to take it is near it, then you can't take it. I managed to pick it by being quite close to the original courier and as soon as it was dropped off I picked it up immediately.
