Hi guys, Due to the Corona virus I'm stuck in Sweden awhile longer. So I finally got Thief2 to work on my mom's machine today, but I end up with a display error. The top half has a bunch of red lines (see attachment), but the game is playable, it's not crashing, but I can't play with all those red lines.

Any ideas on how to fix this? It's probably simple, but I have no clue.

Thanks for any help :)

What's the computer's specs?

Also make sure you use the T2Fix.

I forgot about T2fix. Where is the link to the broken CD file/program, so I can skip the CD. It used to be in Essentials at the-circle, but now I can't find it.

As for the pc. I remember it being an i5 core, 16Gb RAM, 1Tb SSD. The Graphics card is nVidia Geforce GT 1030. Just remembered I should probably update the Graphics card drivers, it's been 3 years...

Can't help you with the No-CD, I have the Steam version, which you can just copy from the Steam folder, and, I always patch that.

Surely try the things you mentioned, though. Updating the graphics drivers, and installing it with T2Fix.

It is my understanding that Newdark is a No-cd executable and it is packaged in T2fix

yepp, I noticed. I forgot to Close the cd tray in the dark and it played anyway. It was Before the fix, it kept asking for it.

Not sure if it's a real no-cd, but, it's stated here that it removes the Safedisc protection: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Thief_II:_The_Metal_Age#Availability

I never had to do with that, because, as I mentioned, the Steam versions of Thief Gold and Thief 2 are DRM free, and don't require anything, plus you can copy them to wherever you want, and patch them there.

I have Steam for Thief 4 with the Xbox controller on Win 10, so all I needed was the USB wired controller. But I prefer the legacy keyboard over the controller. Got Xbox for T3, but gave it away to my god kid, cuz I don't like the controller. Could still play T3 with a kb.

Over the years all the Thief games except 4 has the kb Controls set to T1. Got used to it & kept it & reset all future ones to that way. Even TDM. 🙂

      I posted about it before, but I think the default tdm logo video looks outdated. For a (i.m.o.) better looking version, you can download the pk4 attached to this post and plonk it in your tdm root folder. Every mission that starts with the tdm logo then starts with the better looking one. Try for example mission COS1 Pearls and Swine.

      I finished DOOM - The Dark Ages the other day. It is a decent shooter, but not as great as its predecessors, especially because of the soundtrack.
