Thief 2 Demo: bad problems

[evil-kirk]

Just a warning to anyone who's thinking about downloading the 136MB demo of Thief II: it seems to have the same problems everyone's having with System Shock 2, as they are built on pretty much the same engine. I couldn't get it to run, even in software mode. Seems the solution is to use an older version of PowerDesk, but I haven't tried that yet (and probably won't). If somebody gets it to run, I'd sure like to hear about it. BTW, I have a vanilla G400.

It should work fine with the 5.30 drivers.

Where may I download the Thief II demo?
I just can't seem to find it

Thanks

It runs fine with 5.30.
Looks great too.
Do it

It seems that every game based on The Dark Engine is not working with PD5.41, thief 1 doesn't work in 3D either but works well with 5.30.

I can second what Evil-kirk said, there are heavy problems with runnign this demo.
Software mode for me is totaly unplayable, and when i try to play hardware accelerated mode, on each hardware resolution i get msg that game failed to set that resolution, though i can play it with heavy graphic anomalies.(g400max, 5.41 PD)
