Question / Help Trying to capture Thief Gold with TFix patch

[ITPalg]

This year old thread:

I know is outdated on the "must use" 32 bit for 32 bit games so that now it doesn't matter which version of OBS you use, but I saw the comment that

If it uses a directx version under 9, then game capture will nto work. Game capture only supports directx 9, 10, 10.1, 11, and opengl

From what I was able to find out, it seems to use DirectX 7.

I have the GoG.com version and their webpage says

3D graphics card compatible with DirectX 7 (compatible with DirectX 9 recommended)

The TFix patch requires you to install

the latest directx9 redistributable from june 2010

I forced windowed mode in the cam_ext config file which makes it full screen windowed.

I can select the name in the drop down list trying to set up game capture but I am only getting a black window.

Even with all this, is there no other way than to screen capture?

If you're running in borderless windowed mode have you tried window capture instead?

It's also possible that the TFix patch is preventing the game from getting hooked. Some graphical mods can do this, such as DSFix for Dark Souls, and a number of Skyrim mods. Window capture might be a more reliable capture method, as Sapiens suggested.

Window capture works fine, but game capture doesn't. I don't think it's TFix either, because it does the same exact thing on the unpatched version of Thief. I'm honestly not sure what's causing it. I managed to get game capture to work one time, but I'm starting to think that was a massive fluke.

Quickly tested my older test version of thief, works flawless with game capture. Tried both 32bit OBS and 64bit.
So unless they "patched" in something, its either TFix or your system.

I've tested with a standard gog version and with the optional update they have, and game capture refuses to work. Same thing with Thief 2. I've fiddled with all the graphics options I can, both in-game and in Catalyst Control Center, and have even tried different driver versions. Everything else captures fine, but these two don't want to work, and I have no idea why. Even Steins;Gate works with game capture, a visual novel.

Oh sry, I thought you were talking about the new thief, not the old original. My bad :/
