Just to follow up. When I move my cursor over the setup icon it only shows
a file size of 109MB. So apparently the DL got cut off in the middle. I am
now trying to dl it again.

My d/l via BitTorrent is at 45 KiB/S, so looks like it could be an hour
and half before i get it.

Well things are getting better now. This time it made it up to 329Megs
before cutting out.

I'm in Finland (not close to Jason's site ), but I got it down averaging
near 700 kB/s. Now I'm seeding it on my laptop, currently showing 80
downloaders, upstream close to 70 kB/s.

I'm into the second mission, and I can tell you it was worth waiting for.
It is stunning, simply awesome. It's got such an attention to detail, so
many nice little surprises and changes, and a promise of a great story
which, I have no doubt, will culminate in increasingly interesting and
amazing missions. Even now, I'm completely sold. This if a new Thief game.
A fabulous, fantastic new Thief game. I'm in awe -- completely.

I was in on the final betatesting and I didn't have to do any of that stuff
to get it to run. Just install it into my T2 folder, let it install the
desktop shortcut then click on the shortcut and *presto* it worked! Very
simple and straight forward. There should absolutely be no need to uninstall
Darkloader or T2. I also still have my no-CD crack installed and it works
fine that way.

Still dl'ing here apparently for another 3 hours, but it's getting better
all the time at now an average of 40 KiB/s.
Isn't torrent supposed to be faster or is it just more reliable for larger
files? (I never got into that what it is and does really).
Glad you're enjoying it and it was worth the wait.

It may have been Thief 2's "safe_texture_manager" bug which bit me
immediately, without loading the game - perhaps.

I applied the "safe_texture_manager" patch to get Thief 2 working reliably
with my ATI Radeon X800 video card and the latest video drivers:

You didn't uninstall any other FMs first? That seemed like an obvious
first step since T2K doesn't load with Darkloader.

Also, Garrett is now, like omigosh, a female teenager! That's some
massive plastic surgery.

Thanks for answering the question I hadn't got around to asking yet.

Now to fix that problem with the in-game vids not playing..sheesh..

Yeah, I also had a T2 saved game on the saved games list, which kind of
scared me (I thought something must've gone wrong). But it seems to work,
though.

As Nightwalker said, this is how it's supposed to be! Think about it:
you're not Garrett, you're Zaya, not a Keeper trained thief, the best that
there is. Garrett's skills hiding in the shadows are near super-natural.
Zaya is an 'ordinary' girl.

I wondered about the light gem (T2X-styled ) too at first, but soon had
an "a-ha!" experience: this is how it's supposed to be! Of course! That's
when for the first time I thought that T2X will be a refreshingly different
experience with nice surprises for a seasoned taffer, and will tell an
interesting story. Patience. Let the story lead you on.

> Also following Kandar for so long takes away from the enjoyment of the

Albert, you're only a couple of minutes into a 13-mission monster. Enjoy
the scenery. You'll only be following him for a little while. It's calm
before the storm.... Then you need to find sanctuary. I'm playing on
Expert, and had to try a couple of times, but soon found the place to hide.
If you listen to what Zaya's cousin is telling about the City, he drops a
hint as to where you should look for sanctuary.

T2X is fantastic so far! I can't wait to play on.

Have put T2X on gnutella this morning, apparently no dl's yet (or uploads

Guess people are mainly using the .torrent and the three mirrors.
