You can grab everything you need to apply the patches here. Meanwhile, I did some fiddling with proof-of-concept demos of each, and seeing these games running smoothly in high resolutions is a total trip. Users of the full games have reported huge gains in stability, performance, and graphical fidelity. Not only that, it's relatively convenient. That's a shame, too, because this is what trophies, medals, and the Nobel Prize were made for - seeing as it used to be an enormous pain to get these games up and running on modern PCs in any sort of stable fashion.īut this works. The original forum post came out of nowhere, and no one's quite sure of the patches' origins. And, according to early reports, they make some positively massive improvements.ĭouble Fine's Chris Remo (via Kotaku) tweeted out word of the abruptly unearthed hunks of unofficial patching gold, pointing the way to a French forum called Ariane4ever.

Unfortunately, our light-speed-traveling future machines take about as well to them as modern automobiles to giant stone Flintstones wheels.

System Shock 2 and Thief 2 are regularly hailed as classics for a reason.
