It truly is an astonishing patch. Not only, the game fixes are there, but the editors are also massively overhauled speeding up the world creation by a factor of ten in some cases, and adding proper hardware rendering in editor view-ports. The allowed visible poly-count was increased from 1024 to 20480! Simply amazing. I have Thief 2 in my backlog. The patch is much appreciated. Thanks for posting the link. -- Noman
