acolyte6 24 Report post Posted March 16 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 Quote (Not on my machine, In Europé, but it works excellent ) My hobby built desktop is: XFX Play Hard-nVidia nForce 790i Ultra SLI Onboard is: CPU: Intel Socket 775 VGA: nVidia GeForce EVGA GTX-260 RAM: DDRIII 16Gb HDD: 2 Tb OS: 64bit Win 8.1 All service packs and latest drivers installed.

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...

chakkman 326 Report post Posted March 16 (edited) 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. Edited March 16 by chakkman Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chakkman 326 Report post Posted March 17 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.

nbohr1more 1975 Report post Posted March 17 The Newdark "patch" is a "replacement executable". If a Newdark "patched" T2 install works with no-cd on one system, it will do so on all systems.

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.
