The patch contains various bugfixes and game improvements such as widescreen support, and provides some GUI tweaks. It also enables the use of the FMSel FM loader frontend with Thief 3 and bundles the most important T3 mods. It works with the GOG and Steam versions of the game.Original game bugs and issues that have been fixed or improved:
- New missions and restarted missions will use your chosen difficulty instead of Normal/Easy
- The City sections are now played on your chosen difficulty instead of always being on Normal
- Frame rate and refresh rate limiting fixes broken lockpicking, ladder climbing and wall flattening
- Some speed-up of level loading, especially with vsync on
- Fix for the desktop being visible during level loading on Vista and up
- The game will no longer crash when binding an analogue controller through the keybinds screen
- Fix for controller axes sometimes being set up reverted
- Fix for a crash that could happen when using the game's multisampling option
- Fix for the mouse freezing or becoming invisible when using large font size settings in Windows
- Fix for the mouse cursor not being captured on Windows 10
- Improved compatibility with Windows 10 by installing the d3d8to9 wrapper DLL from ReShade
Game improvements:
- All resolutions reported by the system, plus an optional custom display mode, are available from the options screen. The aspect ratio is shown as well
- In widescreen the horizontal view is extended, instead of cropping off the top and bottom
- The field-of-view can be specified by the user. The setting will work with both the original game and fanmissions, with existing savegames and with missions which use scripted FOV changes. FOV adjustment includes the mechanical eye and bow zoom
- The HUD and menus are shown correctly, regardless of resolution and aspect ratio. In 3-monitor modes, the HUD can be constricted to the center monitor
- The main menu and loading screens are shown correctly, at 4:3 aspect. The proper movies, which are letterboxed, are allowed to crop to fit the monitor (up to 16:9)
- Take screenshots with descriptive file names, and automatically with savegames
- XBox360-type gamepads are working, the triggers are mapped to buttons. Support for up to 16 gamepad buttons using modifiers. Mouse and escape key emulation
- Run the game on a display other than the primary
- Multiple quick saves, quick load the most recent save
As an FM loader, the emphasis is on ease of use and reliability:
- Easy to set up – besides this patch there is nothing to install or configure
- The contents of your game installation folder are never changed. (GarrettLoader has a habit of messing up your installation)
- Works even if the game is installed in Program Files
- Automatically installs custom conversations. (Used in the FM All the World's a Stage)
- Fixes for crash on save and crash on exit in certain FMs, and for the mechanical eye zoom not working in many FMs
- Fix for the in-game loot list showing wrong values and total in certain FMs
- Fix for an original issue which could cause objectives and sounds to start disappearing after some time
- The FMSel supplied with the installer is slightly improved over the NewDark version
- Works with NewDarkLoader and AngelLoader too
Additionally some optional tweaks have been incorporated:
- Mirror and/or scale down the main HUD
- Improved loading screen text: Scale it down, improve formatting
- Minor HUD and GUI tweaks: Remove loading screen tips, mechanical eye overlay, main menu version text, "Nothing" texts, loot percentage, purple fog, 'bouncing arrows', junk item flashing and the lockpicking HUD
- Always show the healthbar
- Turn the short intro movies off, or replace them with the game's trailer
- Alternative background modes for the readable/map and pause screens
- Better mouse response and removed motion blur, adjust mouse sensitivity
- More realistic physics, gravity multiplier
- Scale the difficulty up or down. (Can be set to zero for a 'notarget' cheat)
- Disable auto-raising of the blackjack and dagger
- Reduce or remove headbobbing
- No switch to third person in death
- Classic speed (walk by default, run qualifier) and a speed multiplier
- Decrease or increase the ambient fog or ambient light in any level
- Bright mouse cursor
- Turn down the volume of cutscenes and other videos
- Borderless windowed mode
- End a mission by pressing Shift+Ctrl+Alt+End (see the SU readme for caveats)
All tweaks are disabled by default.Download:
The full edition includes the mods The Minimalist Project, The Collective Texture Pack (a.k.a. John P), "GarrAT" Garrett Animation Tweaks, Thief 3 Gold, Briefing Videos and a small mod providing updated font textures. Please see those threads or the included readme files for more information. The update edition only includes the SU patch and the SneakyTweaker tool. It provides a much smaller download in cases where the mods are unchanged since the last release.
Note: The mods have changed in 1.1.10 so get the full edition unless you have no interest in the mods (and have none currently installed, or intend to remove them during installation).
Current release 1.1.10: Full (mirror) - Update (mirror) - readme - release post
Previous releases can be found here. Please report it if you find that an older version works for you, while the current version doesn't.

Installation:
- It's recommended to reboot before installation, especially for the full edition
- It's also recommended to disable the virus checker during installation
- Advanced users should consult the list of additional installation options in the readme
- Execute the installer
- Steam users should read Additional notes below
- Run the SneakyTweaker tool for setting up tweaks and mods
After first-time installation the game should start in the current desktop resolution.The installer will set up a start menu group with shortcuts to the readmes, the options folder, installed FMs folder etc. By default it will also create three icons on your desktop: A yellow glyph icon for the original game, a cyan version for the fan mission selector and a green version for the SneakyTweaker tool.
The patch has its own configuration file, SneakyOptions.ini. Normally this should be changed only through the tweak tool, but for advanced options manual editing is necessary. In that case it can be found through the Sneaky Upgrade start menu group (in Local Folders).
Fan missions:
Beginner's quick start guide to playing FMs using the FMSel loader frontend: (To play using GL, just make sure GL is installed before installing the Sneaky Upgrade.)
- Create a folder for downloaded FMs in a neutral location. A subfolder of your Downloads folder will do
- Go to a site which hosts Thief 3 FMs, and download some into that folder
- Start FMSel through the cyan desktop icon.
- A dialog will ask for the FM archive path. Select the folder from above
- The FMSel window will now show the titles of the downloaded FMs. Right-click an entry and select View Info File to see the FM's readme
- To start the mission, click Play FM (or Start FM if you're ready for a full play-through)
- See the FMSel readme for more detailed information
Additional notes:The patch expects an original installation, the original T3UI.ini in particular. Existing tweaks may or may not be compatible.
(Video) Thief: Deadly Shadows modded (Thief 3 Sneaky Upgrade) Gameplay in 4KIt's not necessary to install the official 1.1 patch before installing the SU.
Steam users should disable updates for the game and refrain from doing game cache validation, because it would remove the patch. Be sure to run the game once prior to installation, otherwise the game's registry values may not be set. As a work-around to get the overlay working, add the patched game as a non-Steam game. (Browse to the Steam install and select the Thief3.exe file.)
If you want to use TDS Tweaker to change frob colour, then you have to get this updated version of Myagi's patcher. Copy it into the T3Tweak folder and rename it MyagiPatcher.exe. It's recommended to use the built-in tweak instead of TDS Tweaker to remove the loot percentage.
If you have existing savegames, and they appear to have gone missing after installing the patch, then chances are that your SaveGamePath registry value is set to a location in your private user folder. (The original default path is in your Documents folder). Such paths are diverted to the public Documents folder for the unpatched game, but not anymore after patching. Either locate the new folder and move your savegames there, or edit your registry to use the old path. Also note that Thief 3 Gold will use a separate folder for savegames, since original saves are not compatible.
There are a few known issues - nothing major, though. There is a list in the readme. Hopefully they will be fixed in a future version.
