Hardware compatibility

Thief is an old game that will have problems on modern hardware, Windows or Wine. Therefore you must install TFix to run the game.

TFix might prompt a warning on language settings for the GOG version: you can safely ignore it.

Installation

Launch it with `wine setup.exe -lgntforce` to bypass the DirectX limitation warning.
The Intel video codecs proposed at the end of the installation ("iv5codecs.exe") are no longer necessary with recent versions of Wine.
Copy the THIEF/MOVIES folder from the disc to the game installation folder in order to play the game cutscene without disc.

It may prompt an error message at the end of the process. Do not confirm or it will revert the install. Kill wine instead.
