Thief™ 3: Deadly Shadows

"Thief deadly shadows" deserve 4 or 5 stars but my rating concern this GOG version on windows 8.1. Bad optimization on it. I can't change graphics settings because crash (move problem, back to desktop. freeze, ...) I have the box version (Eidos premier collection serie) and it works fine (settings, game, ect...). Buyed GOG version to gain place and optimization. Was a mistake.

I tried to get this to run and it would not display the mouse so I have to move it around in the hopes of finding the right spot to click. It also does not respond to the keyboard. I tried starting a game but it took forever to load so I gave up. Shame I like this series.

Played the game on an old PC so many years ago and it run perfectly. Played it on newer pc, years ago and it run perfectly. Started the game from gog, loaded the menu, started the 1st mission and the loading never end... After second launch game didn't even start. I repaired the game and started it again. Reached the menu, started the 1st mission and guess what... the neverending loading screen again :) terrific.

Well I wanted to enjoy this game however I am stuck in the tutorial, it tells me to press the right mouse button to pick a locked door, and I HAVE to do it as part of the tutorial, however when i press the button nothing happens. I tried reloading, still happened, tried rebooting the game, still happens, tried uninstalling and reinstalling, still happens, tried looking at the manual to see if I was missing something and nope, game just doesn't want to work on my computer, was of 10 bucks, i am about 2 mins in the game and stuck as far as I can go.

If you compare this to the other thief games, this really sucks, is it possible that you have a loading area every 4 meters? Also, where is the combat? you only have a stupid knife, no blocking system the only thing you can do if they catch you is stab the opponent a thousand of times and getting hit by his sword because you cant block his attacks...
