So I bought Thief II recently and after delving into it to be able to actually play it, I found that it was the glitchiest game I've ever played. You takes a step, the game freezes. You open the map, the game freezes. The problem might be with the fact that I'm playing it on mor recent computers, which leads me to conclude that PC games only have a short-term use. Once technology gets too advanced, they're unplayable unless something like steam picks them up and lets you download them. What do you think?

The old Thief games use the same engine as System Shock 2, another game notoriously hard to play on modern computers. Luckily there's actually a HUGE following for both the Thief and System Shock series which have figured out how to get the game running on most modern computers, something you'd know if you'd done more than just come here to complain about how glitchy? it is. (It isn't glitchy, glitches are built in malfunction or error. Thief is fairly glitch free, what it wasn't however was designed to run on computers from the future, go figure. I guess Looking Glass's time machine was broken.)

You're having the 'Multiprocessor/Hyperthreading Systems' problem because the game wasn't designed to run on multiple processors like modern gaming rigs have. The solution is here: http://www.thief-thecircle.com/guides/hyperthreading/

You can thank me later!
