Additional Comments

First the copy protection must be broken, and then no miracle, but still, it's rather playable in 400x300 resolution on my rig (AMD 2800+, 1 gig ram, Radeon 9600 w/ fglrx). There is hope for high-end computers...

HowTo / Notes

video/startup problems

you MUST install "iv5play.exe" from the game disc

if you want to view the cinematics then you will also need a native quartz.dll

Running on multicore systems
I am told that the command taskset -c0 wine thief2.exe is needed (and sufficent) to run Thief and Thief2 on a multicore system.
