Christ! How many video cards?

I'm sorry the compatability patch didn't work, but i'm running Thief, Thief Gold and Thief 2 under Windows 2000 Pro on a 16MB Voodoo 3 with no probs at all!

If you upgrade to Thief Gold (with the fantastic extra levels) and run d:\(or your relevant cd/dvd-rom letter) setup.exe- lgntforce (and don't forget the space after the dash) it runs fine.

I'm not so sure how it will run under your possibly over-specced specs!

Yours overwhelmed,

Pikey

his video cards are not that ridiculous.... remember, voodoo2's are 3d only, and are able to run side-by-side (SLI mode). Then you still must have a card for 2d, hence the geforce. Of course, I would use the geforce for everything that did not require glide.....
