Help Getting Thief Gold to run properly

Post » Mon Dec 10, 2012 4:00 pm

so I bought Thief Gold on Steam, and noticed that, like Kotor, Thief does not run properly. I google'd a fix and found a community patch called "New-Dark" 1.38. I downloaded and extracted all files to Thief. this did not fix the problem though. Yes, I know it's meant for Thief II, but the site says that it is compatible with Thief Gold as well.

I'm not a modder, and I've never been able to figure out how to install mods properly in the past so this is sort of a maiden voyage for me (If I can get this to work I"m going to try my hand at finally patching all those bugs in MW)

that being said I have to actually do it, and I'm not quite sure where to go from here, is there another step? the guidelines on the site I downloaded New-Dark from only says to extract three files to the installation and it should work automatically, but that's not the case.

I only have the "Extract All" option when trying to extract files so I've manually moved the three specific files from the download to Thief, that didn't fix it either.

IS there another way to fix this? or am I completely missing another step I should do?

the exact problems I'm having with the game are:
-The FMVs won't play
- I cannot adjust resolutions or select widescreen
- framerate issues
