Thief and XP

Taffers,

Okay, I seen T3 needs Win2000 or XP. We've been upgrading to XP all
round, so that's not a problem. But will T1 and T2 also run under XP
okay?

I have the game. Iron self control is being used...

Yes, they both run under XP fine. Depending on your setup you may
encounter small problems with either the initial installation or with
keeping the video codecs working for the cutscenes and briefings, but
those are both fixable.

I cannot get Thief2 to install on XP, even with the workarounds suggested.

T1, T2 & T3 run perfectly on my XP

The only problem I had with Thief 1/2/FM on XP was due to having a
processor that allows emulation of multi-threading. There are write
ups on how to get around that though.

I have had no problems at all running T2 or T2 FM's on XP.

What happens? Or doesn't, as the case may be!

Depends - but I think every problem is solvable.

Pentium 4's Hyperthreading must be disabled for all Dark-Engine-games
(T1/T2/SS2).

Personally I have no trouble - but I needed to use a workaround for my
new Nvidia-card (drivers >= v53.03).
Also T1-Gold crashes, when I use the "Options"-screen (which I don't
really need to - one can modify the ini-files with an editor).

Don't wait - play it! Though it has some shortcomings I think its the
best installment of the franchise in some important aspects: Story &
plot, atmosphere, graphics- & sound-quality. Voice acting is awesome,
also.

Please post your experiences, when you have finished the instant
classic mission which is the highlight of the whole game! You'll know
which one, when you play it ;-)

I just installed ThiefGold on XP. I had to use the "setup -lgntforce" to
install the game, and also had to enable Vsync in the videocard display
properties. That's it!

I think this is a problem I'm having. I'm looking now for a way to get
around it but haven't found anything yet.

Any chance of a link?

Thx to you and SpammersDie. It was the safe_texture_manager which fixed
the prob.
