10 rows Thief: Deadly Shadows - game update v.1.1 - Download Game update. How to use the trainer: In very simple terms, download the trainer, use WinRAR to open the file, extract the.exe file (which is the trainer of course). This is the full Installer Setup of version 1.2 The HD Mod is now compatible with Thief: The Dark Project and Thief Gold Because of to many changes there is no patch from version 1.0 to 1.2! ![]() And are regularly hailed as classics for a reason. They’re meticulously designed, tough but not unfair, and, well, they’ve been around for a gazillion years – at least, in gaming technology time. Unfortunately, our light-speed-traveling future machines take about as well to them as modern automobiles to giant stone Flintstones wheels. In other (pseudo) words, clunkity clunk clunk crash. But now – finally, wonderfully, mercifully – some kind soul’s seen fit to release unofficial patches that bring both games up to speed. And, according to early reports, they make some positively massive improvements. Double Fine’s Chris Remo (via ) out word of the abruptly unearthed hunks of unofficial patching gold, pointing the way to a French forum called. The original forum post came out of nowhere, and no one’s quite sure of the patches’ origins. That’s a shame, too, because this is what trophies, medals, and the Nobel Prize were made for – seeing as it used to be an enormous pain to get these games up and running on modern PCs in any sort of stable fashion.

You can do it before your cup of tea/coffee becomes lukewarm. These patches though: they’re something else, they don’t just make the game playable or upgrade the textures, models, etc. But they massively improve on the original engines and renderers, making it possible to have much, much larger levels (keeping in mind Thief has some of the most massive environments to traverse of any first-person game, excluding some more recent open-world ones of course, like S.T.A.L.K.E.R.?) as well as removing old dependencies on (for example) video and audio codecs. Seriously, in 12 years of keeping my Thief installations up to date, the ONLY real problem I ever ran into was when the briefing videos stopped working because of that damn impossible codec.
