There has been a silent built up towards Thief’s release and now that the game has arrived, the fans can finally let out their criminal intent in the game.
Thief was believed to have popularity issues due to limited coverage on the game. In reality, it is due to the stealthy nature of the game that every works in silence. However, that silence was broken after reports of the game crashing starts surfacing on the web.
Well, players who’ve encountered this problem can worry no more as we got the remedy that can resolve the issue. If you’re part of the affected few, you can follow the instructions below and see if it fixes them.
1. If Thief crashes when loading, check the integrity of the game over at Steam. The issue might be with it. Of course, some gamers revealed that re-allocating the virtual memory will fix the issue.
2. If Thief crashes at random and forces the PC to reboot, please ensure that all the drivers are all updated together with the game itself.
3. If Thief produce poor graphical display, dropping the FPS should do the trick. Of course that would mean a poor gaming experience. As such, try disabling levelstreaming (Steam\SteamApps\common\Thief\ThiefGame\Config\ThiefEngine.ini). It will certainly help improve graphics rendering.
At the moment, Thief 2014 is still at its fresh stage. Do expect the game developer to send out fixes which will end this early nightmare.
