--- Comment #30 from Matheus matheus.venturini@acad.ufsm.br --- In short, no, the bug that happens in Wine also happens in Windows. The full picture is what I said in my previous comment, but the bottom line is, from earliest to oldest release:
Thief 2 demo: bug does NOT happen, fogging ON by default Thief 2 retail: bug DOES happen, fogging OFF by default Thief 2 Steam: bug DOES happen, fogging OFF by default Thief 2 NewDark engine: bug does NOT happen, fogging OFF by default Thief 2 GOG: bug does NOT happen, fogging OFF by default
In all versions, if fogging is ON, it looks like the level takes place in early evening like comment 2 shows. If fogging is OFF, it looks like it takes place at night, like in comment 3.
Comment 22 mentioned a demo that uses NewDark but I'm certain that was a misunderstanding, there isn't a demo version that uses it (NewDark is a fan-made modified version of DarkEngine, the original game's engine, which was only developed and released in 2013).
