  1. I played on my old ex work machine which doesn't have a very powerful graphics card but it manages most of the time, I should have played on my new laptop really It's a Dell Precision T1700, 8Gb Ram, Intel® Core™ i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz × 8, NVIDIA Corporation GK107GL [Quadro K600], running 64 bit Zorin OS 17.3 Core I did look at upgrading the graphics card but decided on getting a laptop instead, I really need to use the laptop more, I did get it for games after all Regarding volumetric lighting, I just turned off volumetric effects in the advanced video menu, reloaded the game, went back to the stairs & there's no noticeable framerate drop, so as no one else complained I'd say don't worry about it, I'll play with that setting, thanks for asking though
  2. OK, I loved this mission, I've loved every one of the lieutenant series so far The only issue I did have was a framerate drop on the Everywhere else was smooth as silk I got all the loot* & everyone apart from the the non KO guards is asleep, no issues with KOing, spent a lot of time staring at things wondering how I was going to get up/down/across to them & thinking "this is never going to work" except it did, I do like puzzles like that * So thank you for this
  3. Quite enjoyed this one, nice climbing opportunities, thanks Re the safe
  4. Sorry I have no idea, I did find a review for the 15.6" model from a few years ago that said IPS if that's a help
  5. Okidoki, I finally bit the bullet & went with a Recoil 17 from PC Specialist Specs I went for are Chassis & Display: Recoil Series: 17" Matte QHD+ 240Hz sRGB 100% LED Widescreen (2560x1600) Processor (CPU): Intel® Core™ i9 24 Core Processor 14900HX (5.8GHz Turbo) Memory (RAM): 32GB PCS PRO SODIMM DDR5 4800MHz (1 x 32GB) Graphics Card: NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 4080 - 12.0GB GDDR6 Video RAM - DirectX® 12.1 External DVD/BLU-RAY Drive 1TB PCS PCIe M.2 SSD (3500 MB/R, 3200 MB/W) Operating System: NO OPERATING SYSTEM REQUIRED The case seems to be made of metal not plastic & there's an optional water cooling unit, which I didn't get For the OS I disabled fast boot & secure boot, loaded Zorin 17.2, used the entire disk, without any installation issues Zorin is a Ubuntu fork so Ubuntu & it's other forks shouldn't have an issue if anyone else gets one of these The only minor issue is the keyboard backlight isn't recognized by default, but the forums are full of info on sorting that out, not that I'm too bothered I've installed TDM & it runs beautifully I also copied my thief 1 & 2 installations from my desktop, I had to uncomment "d3d_disp_sw_cc" in cam_ext.cfg to get the gamma processing working but they run happily too The fans switch on when booting & switch off again after a few seconds, the machine isn't stressed enough to turn them on running TDM so far - this is not a challenge btw On the whole, I'm extremely pleased So thanks for all the advice
  6. I got that too, fortunately I had a save from just before the conversation, so I tried it a few times, stuck every time I managed to open a console window just before the conversation started so I could see if there were any error messages I didn't spot any & when desmond shut up I closed the console & found I could move So I quickly saved & that overwrote the save I had before the issue, sorry didn't think to keep it I did enjoy this campaign, excellent work, the puzzles were hard but not too hard Thank you to everyone who contributed
  7. That'd be a first for me Thank you Thank you all, I think I've got enough to go with now
  8. Sorry if this is in the wrong place, please feel free to move it or merge with an existing thread I'm looking to get a new laptop, my desktop is fine but struggles with graphics in some TDM missions plus it means locking myself in the spare room One obvious requirement is it needs to play TDM Another is it's going to run Linus but that's my problem I've found a machine that looks reasonable & won't break the bank, but will it play TDM ? Specs are : Acer Nitro 5 AN517-55-7366 17-inch - Core i7-12700H 2.3GHz - 16GB 512GB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 6Gb, QWERTY - English
  9. sigh I believe I've made my position on messing around with non game mechanics like preventing saves well known on the previous occasions this topic has surfaced The TL;DR is do it if you want but I for one won't be playing it
  10. I got that with two guys
  11. I'm a 65 yo Mancunian, everyone I know pronounced it as "Thrupenny"
  12. Thank you so much for this
  13. Very enjoyable, and an interesting setting My machine struggled a little with the exterior at times but nothing major One question
  14. I don't know if this is any use to TDM but if I don't post it we'll never know https://sonniss.com/gameaudiogdc Apologies if this is in the wrong folder, please feel free to move the thread or remove the thread if it's no use
  15. I was quite surprised to find I hadn't played this one before, thank you I found it to be very enjoyable
