This French Website offers new unofficial patches for Thief 2 and System Shock 2, updating these Looking Glass classics to version 1.19 and 2.4, respectively. As noted on Kotaku, these patches allow each game to be played on modern systems in high resolution, though of course, use of homebrew patches is done at one's own risk. In other unofficial update news, Kotaku also notes a the release of Complex version 8.2.4, a mod that likewise modernizes the space-based strategy of Homeworld 2. Thanks nin.

Ok, here we go:
Install Shock 2 from cd.
Patch to latest version (2.3).
Extract new_dark.zip and contrib.zip contents into main install folder (this overwrites shock2.exe).
Run shock2.exe
Optional: Read through cam_ext.cfg to see if you want to tweak anything. I recommend "d3d_disp_scaled_2d_overlay 640 480", as it makes the UI larger and easier to read from the MFD. Any of those changes you want to make go into cam.cfg file. (edit: Still monkeying around with the rez...it only seems to like 640 480?)
Extremely impressed. Works flawlessly on Win7 64, so far...there goes my weekend.

Mr. Tact Apr 17, 2013, 12:33: Pretty sure that's the definition of trolling... |
