Thief Series FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (Technical / Purchasing / Etc.) - 2012

OK, finally found it, although the installation path is neither linked nor mentioned anywhere (that I could find) in SneakyTweaker. It installs mods at C:\ProgramData\Thief 3 Sneaky Upgrade. Never would have thought to look in ProgramData, since 99% of programs use C:\Users\(username)\AppData\. Having the Garrett Animation Tweaks installed is why changes to T3PlayerAnims.ini in the game's base folder was having no effect. Thanks snobel!

I've been trying to install my old Dark Project disc version of the game with Tfix Lite for a close to vanilla experience. A week or so ago I got the old game installed, but I inadvertently installed Tfix instead of Tfix Lite. So I uninstalled and have been trying to reinstall today, with no luck. I get as far as the install screen, click 'Install', and after about a minute the screen will disappear and nothing will seem to be happening. Any ideas?


EDIT: Hey, they weren't kidding when they said it might take hours for installation to start. Installation successful, game runs, and Tfix Lite is, I assume, applied successfully (I have more resolution options than in vanilla).

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to install Thief II's expansion, T2X. The page which led me here, https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=96688, shows some incorrect information, & doesn't allow for replies, & I'm hoping someone can help me get this game working (on Win 10). (Thief II works fine, but T2X won't install.)

For the problem (shown at the bottom of the above link's page) "During installation i received an error saying "Failed to create custom Darkinst file". What is the deal?", part 2 of the answer shows "The file "install.cfg" has the read-only attribute set."

However, after installation, we find that there is no file named "install.cfg" anywhere within the Thief II folder. In addition, Administrator Privilages makes no difference.

Can someone explain what I can do about how the T2X installation is not generating this elusive "install.cfg" file please?!
Thank you,
Richard

Lot of fan missions have solid blue textures and invisible enemies, but more recent missions lile The Black Parade don't show any technical errors at all. Does anyone have any idea how I could fix this without clean installing everything?

hard to tell without knowing anything about your Thief install, but generally speaking, unless you already are fully patched and using the latest mod/fan mission loaders, you probably will have to start from scratch/new install.

also wrong forum. and this topic should be cast into the fires of mt Doom.

I thank you regardless. Was hoping for an easy fix first. Ill go ahead and clean install + fixes first.
