What you need for Thief 2 is Tafferpatcher, made by the lovely people of the Thief fan community over at the Looking Glass forums, nowadays it also incorporates the NewDark patch, bringing the game up to v1.19. Install either version, GOG or Steam, somewhere other than in the Program Files folder on C:\. Available from GOG and Steam, same as with Thief Gold I recommend installing the GOG version by right-clicking and selecting 'run as administrator'. The best stealth game ever made, in gameplay and ambition it's still unsurpassed even after 13 years and it's as playable and atmospheric as it ever was. ![]() To go back to vanilla TFix, just delete the 'ep2.crf' file, run Tfix again and delete the 'HDMOD' folder. ![]() That's it! The game should now work flawlessly and look all nice and beautified. Run it and you'll be able to choose a water type from a total of five different version after playing a demo clip. In the Thief Gold install folder you'll also find a 'Water_Mod_Tool' shortcut now. There's even a few colour bloom configurations, I recommend clicking on the previews to the left before deciding. Run it, and then you'll see a handy menu which allows you to set the AA, turn post-processing on or off etc. Version 0.9.2 brings with it a 'NewDark graphics settings tool', you'll find a shortcut called 'NewDark Graphics Settings' in your Thief Gold install folder. Until there's a full version of 0.9.2 or higher available, you'll have to install the full version first and then the patch on top of it. Let it run and then you're almost done.Īt the time of writing the HD Texture mod is at full version 0.9.1 and there's a patch to update it to 0.9.2. Download it, run the installer and point it towards your Thief Gold install folder. Then you can get the Thief Gold HD Texture Mod here, the most recent version is at the one at the top with 'full version' in the title. Download it and drop the single 'ep2.crf' file into your Thief Gold install folder (the one which also contains THIEF.EXE). If you have an old TFix install, update to the most recent one and then follow the instructions below:īefore we install the Thief Gold HD Texture Mod, we're going to take advantage of the improved objects and textures from Thief Enhancement Pack 2.0. Update 11 February 2014: there's a new HD texture mod out which is compatible with the most recent versions of TFix and looks really nice. There are also modern keybindings provided with the mod, try them out and modify whichever one is closest to what feels right for you. Steam users will note that the Steam Overlay now works with the game. In the Choose Components Screen select everything except the Dromed Editor (unless you want to make mods and levels yourself) and then point it towards your Thief Gold install folder, for Steam users this is :\Steam\steamapps\common\thief_gold\ Run the TFix_exe as Admin (right-click, run as admin). Always keep this game up to date Do not automatically update this gameįor the first two Thief games games you need Microsoft Visual C 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) and DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2010) if you don't already have them. Steam users need to disable the automatic updating: right-click on game title->properties->updates. As I said, don't install in Program Files. If you've already modified Thief Gold previously, I recommend a clean install. fixes to way too many textures, models and objects to count, by way too many modders to list. improved textures
