voodoo47: NEW! TFix now uses
NewDark (v1.19), the new amazing patch for dark engine based games.
figured this might save some people a headache or two - I have compiled together the most important T1/TG fixes into one installer, so if you are having problems running the GOG release, or just want to have better graphics/widescreen support, go ahead and try it out (works for the regular and the GOG version, but do note that you are using it on your own risk).
TFix 1.11 (95MB)
fixes/adds:
-widescreen, portrait resolutions, and Eyefinity support (
NewDark)
-full 32bit rendering, fixes issues with new graphics hardware (NewDark)
-no more issues with cutscenes not playing (NewDark)
-no more issues with graphics related crashes and error messages (NewDark)
-no more resolution switching when entering menu or maps (NewDark)
-enhanced object models, textures and more (
EP)
-improved models (hand/bow/sword, guards and more)
-improved water (
t2 water)
-enhanced skies (static and
dynamic)
-makes the game portable, so it can be moved around your hdd freely, and played from an usb thumb drive for example
-includes fixed missions (Training and Bafford's right now)
notes:
-requires win2000 or newer to run, latest
and [url=http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5582]VC++2008 redistributable.
-do not set any compatibility modes on the exe, this will break the game
-installing the game to a protected folder (windows, program files etc) may result in strange and broken behaviour (vista/win7)
-OpenAL might cause the game to not launch. uninstall it if necessary.
-reboot after you are done with everything (vista/win7)
final note: this is a collection of patches and fixes made by many fans - I did not make any of them, I just made the necessary edits and corrections to make it all work together.
So do I need both NewDark and TFix installed for either to work or do I just need NewDark? This works for Thief Gold and Thief 2?
