Hello everyone,

We have just made public a new version of the PC version of Thief, v1.4 build 4133.3 This patch will be applied by Steam automatically when you next start the game. If your game does not update, please restart the Steam client.
This patch will address the following issues.
Fixed an issue where when finishing a chapter, the user would be brought back to the start.
Fixed several audio issues, including:
- Issues with sound occlusion, being able to hear NPCs talking through walls.
- Issues with music being relatively loud in several chapters.
- Issue with credits music.
Fixed an issue with shadows that would occur on certain Nvidia and Intel GPUs.
Fixed issues where the quicksave would be overwritten.
- Quicksaves now occupy a seperate slot internally and in the loading menu. To load a quicksave press F9 or go into the Load menu and select the Quicksave Slot.
Increased dedicated texture memory pool size for Intel GPUs.
Fixed an issue where several documents were missing.
Fixed an issue where the Spectral Aspect trinket had no effect.
Fixed an issue where player was unable to look around while using the handwheel.
Button prompts in the station screens now update automatically based on the user input method.
Several minor bug fixes.

While we expect this patch to be an improvement for everyone, if you do have trouble with this patch and prefer to stay on the old version we made a Beta available on Steam, v1.3 build 4118.5, that can be used to switch back to the previous version

Step 1: Go to your STEAM library and select Thief in your game list
Step 2: right-click on the game and go to properties
Step 3: go to the Betas tab in the properties menu
Step 4: select version_1.3 and press ok.

This will set you back to the original released version of the game.
We will keep monitoring for feedback and will release further patches as it seems required. We always welcome your feedback!

Ah if this update can fix the bug of backup and HS and Chapter 2 loop, I took ^^

[Frank Castle]

Also can you fix the bug where some sounds were completely missing in Chapter 3 and some other places?
Gee,thanks for this patch though

[GODzilla]

The anti-"april-fools-gone-wrong"-patch. :D

[Morax]

It's actually really nice of you guys to fix an issue on a below minimum spec graphics solution (Intel HD graphics)!

And didn't try it yet, but the audio fixes are quite welcome indeed!

Savegames work again, thanks for the Patch!

[Charlie Kilo One]

Savegames do NOT work again. It seemed to work for two loads, then it was back to level start again. Loading the same save every time. Back to the homeworks SE.
Same results I had yesterday. Getting fed up even starting this game.
Way to waste enthusiasm...

[Pingas]

Awesome! Thanks for the update!

[Charlie Kilo One]

Gave it another try. Played to the finish of the chapter (first time). Game takes me back to level start instead of further. The patch has NOT FIXED the issue. Where are the saves files located? I'd like to make backups.
I tried the "different date" method to fix it (which ended up not working either), so I have one or two saves dated a week in the future. Dont know if the game considers them "latest", but anyway I have a newer one from today.

[Square_Jason]

Charlie - had you changed your pc date to try and get around it beforehand?

[EviLFazZ]

Just a simple thanks Jason and Square Enix/Eidos ...I just wish the Android app would actullay work

[kentosama]

Thank you for this patch and information. I have a few questions regarding this update. I noticed that my hard drive was very solicited by time and textures put a little time to display correctly. I thought it was a problem due to the memory of my graphics card, yet I have a 280X R9 with 3GB more the problem occurs randomly. Does this patch fixes the problem? I also have another problem regarding the manual backup. I'm in Chapter 7, I was close to the end but when I wanted to make a backup after losing the game returns me to the beginning of the chapter and got my manual backups. Does the patch also fixes this problem? Thank you!

Thank you! Fixed the issue for me.

Is the software audio fixed reverb over cpu?
