These hot-off-the-press patches are from a mysterious French source. Speculation is that the originator is somebody with access to the game source-code, considering the depth and extent of the patch changes, including fixes for modern CPUs. (Requires DX9 and Visual Studio 2008 SP1 C++ runtimes installed) The TTLG forum is buzzing like a bunch of bees that just discovered a vast new source of nectar. Current guesses about the originator point to somebody at Arkane Studios (Lyon, France). or maybe somebody who migrated to Ubisoft from Looking Glass. EA has the current copyright rights for SS2. Since Arkane and Ubi are not part of the EA 'stable', anonymity may be the best policy and a bunch of SS2 and Thief1/2 modders seem hugely grateful for the unknown developer's efforts.. John Lewis
