Thief ver 1.33 NO CD
 

Thief The Dark Project at ver 1.33.

I play it on a WIN XP SP1 computer. The game had issues with XP with error "Direct 3D Device does not accurately report texture memory usage" until I downloaded a new exe called thieffixed.exe from http://www.thief-thecircle.com/download.asp?fid=726.

My question is there a no cd for this exe version?

checked here or here ?????

Yes I have checked. The no cd's there are for the 1.33 exe. If I use the thieffixed.exe it works just fine. If I rename the thieffixed.exe file to thief.exe it works as well. Both do with cd in. The no cd's I tried did nothing to the thieffixed.exe renamed to thief.exe.

So my swag would be that the thieffixed.exe would need to be cracked.

I don't think there's a nocd for this version. The easiest way to play without the cd is to simply make a hard disk image with a program like Alcohol120% and mount that. Yes it takes up another 700 Megabyte of hard disk space, but it WILL work.

I used Game Jackel
 

I downloaded and used Game Jackel. http://www.gamejackal.com/home.asp I'm going to try on others. :)

I'm going to say wth.. 10+ years and no fix.. c'mon.. what someone too lazy
or something? this shouldn't take more than 5min nowadays.

(non gold edition)

unsafedisc should do it, tried it ?
also, scan it with protection id and report what protection it has please..
more info helps

I know neither of these programs you suggest.. also it appears that the admins
think this is some sort of illegal activity an had some weird pop up rule thingy
spawn upon my login.

I own my game tyvm, if they need a scan of the disk i'd be more than happy to show
them if that be the case. (I didn't download my f'in game like some idiots)

Anyways.. I suppose we'll have to continue this in pm or something if
that's ok with you? (I will look into those other programs though meantime).

That pop up comes up for everyone who logs in, to remind people of rules.

Its not suggesting you are doing anything illegal.

Nobody was suggesting you downloaded the game, or scan your case/disc to show you own it, TippeX means to scan the executable to start the game with Protection ID which you can find in this section as a sticky.

Nobody has done a crack for years doesnt mean people are lazy, just nobody bothered to do it back then, and its not easy to do so, so you saying you dont know certain programs means you shouldnt really comment on if people are lazy to crack it.

IMHO.

I spoke as I felt, no different than you just did. IMHO.

Oh an that popup has only shown up once since then.

Scanning -> Thief.exe
File Type : Exe, Size : 2239488 (0222C00h) Byte(s)
[Heuristics] -> Flag : 00000000000000000000000000000000
[!] File appears to have no protection or is using an unknown protection
- Scan Took : 0.859 Second(s)

It's shown again only after a few hours, not upon every login or page access. (But turn off cookies and it will show up constantly.)

I see.. well thanks.

So now that the data was posted above.. where do we go from there?
I should add that I'm not interested in running this off an iso, 2 & 3 are able to run
without an iso; so an even older version should be just as capable if not more so.

(Unless there is no other choice but to run it off an iso.. but I highly doubt thats
truely necessary >.> I mean c'mon..)

Exact error msg when you start it without mounted image or disc in drive is`?

hmm exe with no protection, sounds like its just a disk check, can you put the exe on some hosting site? rapidshare or something and i'll download it and see what i can do..

/me is feeling nice because its nearly christmas time
