I have installed this again as i remember it being a great game that i never completed. I have found the 1.33 patch but it says

"patching errors have occured, old file not found, however a file of that same name was found. No update done since file contents do not match"

I have just installed off the cd then patched

At the moment it plays and looks quite good still and nice and atmospheric but crashes a few minutes into the game

Can anyone help me find the patches i need before 1.33 to make it update properly
 
Not sure about the patches but the crashing could be down to the engine (same one as system shock/2) not liking dual cores , if you are running one.

Do a google for "thief+dual+core" to see what I mean and for possible solutions.
 
once the game is loaded, Ctrl+alt+del out of it, then right click the thief process, and set affinity, untick all but one core of your cpu... I had to do this with T3 when i reinstalled it the other day as it crashed on the title menu :(

theifs game engine doesnt like multi cores
