(Avoid using C:\Program Files, as that has permission restrictions) Change it to the folder Thief Gold is installed in.
The destination folder will default to C:\Games\Thief, which may not be where your game is. (It includes patches and improves lots of stuff!) Accept the default list of TFix components. 
Download and run TFix_1.22.exe (or newer) from this thread at. If you have a version of the game from a different source, these instructions might work if modified appropriately. Here's how to patch the GOG version available for purchase online, without patches it is unstable and has graphics issues. 
(The patches described below include a range of control setups you can Load and customize within the game's menu) This is an easy way to ensure both games have the same keyboard setup. Once you have the games installed, you may wish to configure the controls in Thief 2, then copy the Thief 2 user.bnd file into Thief 1, replacing the existing one. Thief 1 and 2 keep seperate keyboard setups. You may need to right-click and select Run as Administrator. It's been known to cause problems with many games, particularly when using multi-core graphics cards or crossfire systems.Īs is often the case, double-clicking may not run an installer with enough privileges to work properly. If you have an ATI graphics card, consider disabling Catalyst A.I. It's included with lots of current games, but you can also find it in Microsoft's downloads section. If you have a shiny new Vista/Windows 7 computer, you'll need to install DirectX 9 before you can play pretty much anything at all. Even the menus can fail to work properly.įortunately, these problems can be fixed! See below for gory details.
Nvidia and ATI have shifted the focus of their driver development to 32-bit rendering, making older 8-bit and 16-bit games look awful. The game was intended for Windows 95/98, there was no such thing as Windows XP. The engine used for Thief, called the Dark Engine, was not designed to support modern multi-core processors. The gameplay is very similar.ĭue to their age, there are some issues with the first two thief games: Go buy Dishonored and play it! If you like it, please consider buying and playing the Thief series as well. Only recently has a game matched (even exeeded!) Thief: Dishonored. The third in the series was released for the original xbox as well as the PC (it runs on the xbox 360 too), so it has better graphics but the levels are smaller than the first two games. Great characters, story, and gameplay flexible enough to let you concoct your own solutions to the levels. The Thief series is one of the best ever created, at least in my humble opinion.
