Help me pls, I got this game to work once..

Recommended Posts

Allright about a year ago I got Thief2 and I remember when I first installed it it would do this but I discovered a way to get it to work but I havent been able to figure it out...

 

Ive installed the FULL install but when I run the game it gets past the intro movies and boots me back out to windows... if I press esc to bypass em boom, im back out to windows..... ive defragged and done what I could that the readme suggested but still dont work... here are my stats:

 

PIII 550Mhz 512k Cache

256mb ram

Voodoo3 3500 with the drivers from this website

WickedGL (to play Q3, wouldent load with the drivers from this site)

Windows2000sp1+all the updates

SB Live Platinum 5.1

 

please help me.. i want to play this game once again...

This is more art than science & needs luck.

 

Start, Run, CDpath\setup.exe -Lgntforce

 

Then apply the update patches. Start the game from the CD, sometimes it works better than the disk command or a shortcut. Get a patch from Game Copy World removing Safedisk copy protection.

 

Do not use Sound hardware acceleration. Graphic configuration 1024 X 768 at 32 bits.

 

It should play but changing adapter drivers for older drivers is often necessary, as it is with Geforce2. Side note: Matrox maintain they will soon finish a driver enabling Thief to play on G200 and G400-450 cards.

 

Tell us what you did when you make it play.
