Well, the loader doesn't change anything to the actual game. It reinstalls the codec on the computer so the videos work. It can set affinity to one CPU so that can work. Other than that, you just have something that is loading the regular executable. But, if you would be afraid of doing that for distrust that it would cause further instability, I can understand.

I have no idea if a SSD could cause problems. I have never used one, mainly due to the fear of it being worn out after a few years and the overall small size but large price. Possibly this is another reason why it takes so long for me to render videos, due to write speeds being limited and all, but I would rather have that then have a drive suddenly go dead on me after a year.

I assume this SSD is recent and wasn't there when you played Thief the last time? Otherwise I don't understand why you would suddenly be questioning it.
