Opening movie keeps looping

[Kresimir]

Opening movie keeps looping, even if you hit esc to cancel it, it'll toss up the main menu for a half a second, then loop the movie again. I can't even start the game.

Anyone else have this problem and has found a solution?

same here. and by timing it right, I was able to get to the option screen, whereupon the game immediately crashed and had to be shut down via task manager.

I've tried messing with the .ini file, changing intro movies to false, but it seems unaffected by it. Couldn't find anything on idle movie either.

The Intro movie keeps repeating and I can't start a game!
It is very likely that you have a Dual Core processor, such as an AMD Athlon 64 X2 or an Intel Pentium "D" which is the cause of the problem.
The solution is to set Thief III to use only one core. This can be accomplished by entering the Processes tab of the Task Manager when the game is running, right clicking each of the Thief III-releated processes (T3Main.exe, T3.exe), selecting "Affinity" and unchecking one of the CPUs.
