Wow, this looks brilliant. Been waiting years for a real Hor+ fix, can't wait to give it a try. Thanks for sharing sneaky :cheers

This is working great. First Doom 3 and now this ! Playing these games again in flawless triplewide is incredible. :party:
One tiny engine limitation for owners of 120 Hz monitors: framerates over 60 fps break the gameplay, as Garrett gets stuck in front of lockpickable doors and ladders. I had to set my desktop to 60 Hz and activate in-game vsync to fix that. No biggie but if I could just set a max framerate for the game and keep my max refresh rate, that would be ace...

I'll have more comparison screenies for the DR soon.

Thanks for the feedback, more screenshots would be great. I don't know if I can fix the 120 Hz issue, but at least I can add it to the readme, with instructions, for the next version.

I've updated the DR with new screenies and info, including "anomalies".
To my great embarrassment I think I've wiped your "3D Solution" line in the process... Sorry about that, hope you can restore it :X

I also added a link to my "loading screen mod" & attached it.
Would it be possible for me to zip the Sneaky Update exe and attach it to the DR as well ? This would make it easier for users to grab it.

Thanks for providing the fantastic looking screenshots and the loading screens! :twothumb

You can of course add the installer to the DR. (Distribute it any way you like, as long as the contents of the installer is not changed.)

Some of the issues you mention are also in the readme, so I'll probably add in any known issues from the readme that are not yet in the DR.

There's a (partial) workaround for the subtitles issue, I'll add that as well.

i just tried this with the steam version and it wouldn't work. first, it says "the patch cannot be applied to this version of T3Main.exe. if you continue installation the correct version will be downloaded" even though i just downloaded the game through steam and verified it is 1.1 (shown in the game menu). so i continue anyway and it starts to download something but then fails with the message "sorry, the files could not be downloaded...".

I played this with the patch on Steam not so long ago...installer seemed to work fine following the instructions. Don't remember having to do anything special. Simple as tafferpatcher for the first two...would love to play those in eyefinity.

The version of T3Main.exe that it attempts to download is the newest version, which comes with the Thief 3 level editor. It's the only one which works properly with the extra levels (fanmissions) made by the Thief community. (I should probably add the explanation to that dialog.)

The download should work - wait a while and try again, or get the Editor Pack (~300 MB) and copy the file called T3MainReleaseVersion.exe into the System folder in whatever folder Steam installed the game in. Rename it T3Main.exe (replacing the existing one), then try the Sneaky Upgrade installer again.

There's a problem with the hosting service. I'm told that the file will return around 10 August, until then there's this.

that worked, thanks

Great attempt - but this mod breaks the game audio.
