Slight glitch in the latest version another one which may have been me

Downloaded using the in game downloader and it is v2.1 is this correct or have I mucked something up

Always wanted to know if/how an updated version would show up on the in game downloader - and it does and I know now

Just replayed it on 1.08 and found a lighting problem. Came here to report it and found that the latest in game download was way out of date - downloaded the new one and all fixed thanks I was exploring a bit and found this when climbing onto the roof in the main square outside the bank

Just played it again on 1.08 and the only thing which concerned me was while leaving the mansion through the air vents I fell through the floor

Started playing it and I have been spoilt by DarkMod - I had forgotten all the old annoyances with Thief 2 controls etc. Still it looks to be interesting and worth persevering with

That looks sufficiently interesting for me to have a go at installing Thief 2 The Metal Age on my Win 7 64 bit computer - it's a bit fiddly but I suspect that using the -lgntforce modifier should sort out the initial install then patching to 1.18 and then to 1.19 But then I have a question Do I use DarkLoader or GarrettLoader which appears to possibly interfere with the DarkMod downloader

I tried using EAX on my Audigy Card and I had major lag problems in Betrayal near the beginning when avoiding the zombies in the mine. Disabling EAX fixed it. I also had an odd problem, which may not be related, where there were no sounds associated with frobbing, lock picking etc. It needed a full restart of the game/mission to fix it as a restart of Dark Mod then reloading a save game didn't

From memory Clue Solution

Is this a 1.08 problem or is it a coding problem (I am replaying all the missions using 1.08) I have noticed in a couple of missions if I pick up a crate then move towards a wall for example. When the crate hits the wall and stops I just pass into the crate

Played through again on 1.08 and hit a slight glitch. Just to add the ghost going into the master bedroom was also glitched in that it didn't come in but was somewhere close outside

Have you tried disabling some other services to reduce the RAM usage I don't remember if you said which operating system you are using nor whether the graphics also use system memory. If the graphics use system memory this could be a major factor

Just played the Alchemist and knocking out was as difficult as before so perhaps it was a setting in the game or just a false impression. One thing I did notice is that

This may be subjective but blackjacking seems easier in 1.08 to the extent that when in "In the North" I hit a guard on the shoulder - big clatter sound as I hit the armour - he didn't notice and a second hit knocked him out. I have also noticed that it is now possible to blackjack from the front providing the guard isn't alerted

Finished on medium setting although achieved every optional objective and got enough loot for the hardest setting The graphics were excellent and the use of readables made it very logical although I had to read some of them several times to remember what I needed to do. I can see me playing this several times specially as I probably didn't explore everywhere judging by the 28 pieces of loot I was missing at the end

Finished it on medium setting including Still quite a lot of loot to find - mostly jewellery - so worth a second play on hardest setting. Two minor glitches/questions A very good mission overall but a bit harder than perhaps needed due to most of the guards having full helmets so they couldn't be blackjacked - i assume this is the case although I didn't actually try to The various readables were well placed and gave enough information to assist in completing. The only really difficult part was

In my case I suspect that part of the Doom 3 problem was that I wasn't installing it in the default directory as all my games and documents are on the D:drive as the C:drive partition is quite small to allow easy backups. in the case of the documents this is also needed as I have a dual boot machine (Vista and Win 7) the dual boot is because when I upgraded to Win 7 I did it as a fresh install in case something wouldn't work - it all did but getting rid of the dual boot was more trouble than it was worth as the boot controller is on the Vista drive

That is possible as Doom3 install wasn't really designed for anything beyond XP 32 bit The odd part is that it seemed to be working OK until I upgraded to 1.08 but then again I hadn't played Doom 3 for a very long time

I don't know how much is down to the mission, how much to moving to 1.08 and how much to me fixing a Doom3 problem - BUT the graphics are awesome and up to now - I have only just started on the upstairs - I am really enjoying it playing on medium difficulty I thought the garden was superb

FIXED I needed to uninstall Doom3 Then manually remove the garbage left behind Then reinstall up to the latest patch Not only is the problem solved but the graphics are superb by comparison - I wonder how long I have been suffering with reduced graphics quality

As edited above Leave it with me - something has corrupted my Doom 3 installation - will report back after I sort it

A problem Starting the console needed Ctrl Alt and key left of the 1 but then typing condump tdm.txt gave the confirmation that it had been done but I can't find the file I tried giving TheDarkMod admin rights and also disabling Kaspersky but neither helped Leave it with me - something has corrupted my Doom 3 installation - will report back after I sort it

Installed but error when trying to play - this may well be my system - see http://forums.thedar...oblem-with-108/ PROBLEM SOLVED - my Doom 3 installation had become corrupted

just tried In The North with this result when trying to start

Restarted Old Habits and this time I looked backwards in the sewer and saw a lot of black squares coming out of the pipes - I assume that there is a leak of something there which is being corrupted (note picture has been lightened so they can be seen)
