Thief II: The Dancing Zombies Easter Egg

Instructional video for locating the Dancing Zombies Easter Egg in Thief II: The Metal Age. If you want to join them, you can use crates to climb over the fence, but you must do this before completing all your objectives and after disabling the alarm system and opening the front gate. Music was dubbed in and not part of the game experience.

i can't play thief 2 in my new pc. whats the reason? comm

ent:no way

[Stquinn]

I can't either. At first, I thought that it had something to do with losing my Ligos Indeo Video Codecs, but now, I think that it has something to do with installing Windows Service Pack 3, or both. Are you running Windows Vista or Windows XP SP3?

[yponoman]

i have windows xp and vista. the proplem maybe is the (turbo) fast runing of all the system. i install it, i play it and then stock.... shit. i have all ready take it for 3 times original. i have version and for xp!!!!!!!!!! my friend download packs (i think from gamespot) nothing. i dont now what is "Ligos Indeo Video Codecs" sorry for my english

[Stquinn]

Indeo video codecs are needed to play in-game movies. My game played fine but eventually, it started skipping the movies. I was content with that. However, it suddenly started hanging up and giving error messages. I reinstalled Indeo video codecs and now, it works fine.

haha! WTF, how'd you figure out about this?

[Stquinn]

I read about this egg on Eeggs' website. They list 4 eggs for Thief 2, but I believe that there may be more. I submitted the "Thief II: Backward Messages" egg, but they either didn't get it or don't believe me.

Eidos is mostly just a game publisher. Thief was developed by Looking Glass Studios. All the other so called Eidos games like Commandos, Hitman, Deus Ex etc were also made by other game developers. The games Eidos actually developed are stuff like Pony Friends 2.

Do the monster mash!

WAHT THE FALCK WAS THAT?! This is something I never thought to see.

Reminds me of Majora's Mask, you could do something similar with the ReDeads. XD

@Stquinn @yponoman Load task manager before running thief 2 and then alt-tab to it after starting at the main menu. Then, if you go to "processes" and select "thief2.exe", right-click and select "set affinity". If you set it to 1 CPU that generally stops it crashing and running too fast.

[plplplplomg]

@yponoman You should look for ddfix and also change processor core affinity or sth so that only one is used if u have dual core proc

I'd like to see the look on Garet's face.

[Xanatos712]

@yponoman Run Thief II in Windows 98/XP compatibility (to play the videos) and set your processors affinity to 1 processor.

Google 'Thief II affinity' for a proper tutorial.
