The Unofficial Patch is a combination of the default Basic Patch which mostly fixes bugs only, and the optional Plus Patch, which is kind of a mod adding various tweaks and implementing a lot of unused content, including new quests, levels, weapons, items, characters, dialogue, graphics, models, sounds and original music! Included are also the optional Patch Extras which feature Player Mods, like shaders suites, as well as Developer Tools, like the Unofficial SDK to mod the game.

Hello, I've been using the patch for a few years now but unfortunately I haven't been able to play the game since it bugged out in 2021.

I've attempted to delete the game files and the patch files in between each reinstall, but I continue running into the same problem. Once I finish character creation, the loading screen appears and the game crashes before it finishes loading.

I'm not sure how to go about remedying this but I figured here would be the best place to ask, thank you for your work in keeping this game alive.

Not that I know of, the patch worked great and I was able to play the game for a bit before it bricked and now I can't get it to go past the character creation screen.

I've wiped all related files from my computer and attempted to reinstall, but still no luck it bricks at the same point as before.

Could it be a problem with where the game files are being stored? As they're currently under
C:> Program Files (x89)> Steam> steamapps> common

Any other means for downloading this patch? An automatic executable is quickly flagged as a trojan virus.

Hey wesp, thank you for keeping the game full of vitae :) I had a quick question , when I cast disciplines (targeted ) my hand animation immediately goes from third person view to first , then back to third person , is this normal or a glitch ( male tremere casting blood purge )
Thank you

Is there any chance to replace all NPC audios that refer to the male protagonist with female ones?

Example make all NPCs audio see the protagonist as female even if you're playing as male. I have a custom translation for the game that is compatible and fixed for the UP 11.3 but all the NPCs refers the female protagonist as male and with that I lose the chance to hear the unique lines that was made only for female protagonist :(

You could just copy over all female audio files into the male ones, but it rather seems to me that your custom translation is buggy...

Helloo, I not made the translation, the translation is very old from 2006 made for the game without any Patch, the person who make the translation compatible with UPatch and translated the restored lines said that there's no audio for that....

Could you help me please, do you know what are the audio files that characters like the Cop in the tutorial and Jeannete refer to the protagonist as a woman?

All the audio files are in \sound\character\dlg sorted by locations and characters. The male lines are called lineX_col_e, the female ones lineX_col_f and the Malkavian ones lineX_col_n...

WEEEEESP5 Thank you soo much.. Jeanette finally called my fem PC "Little girl" \O/
Except for the Malk lines.. I deleted every col_e file and renamed col_f to col_e.

Edit: there are some .mp3 files on dlg folder, is it necessary or I can delete?

I made some tests, the lines refering the fem PC works perfectly but for some lines the characters do not have voice.. I suppose it is because some of the lineX_col_e are used for FemPC too and since I replaced the files.. Do you have any sugestion or is it just not possible and I should give up?

An easier way would be to edit the vcd files and not the sounds themselves. You could set all sounds there to the female versions, but be aware that most of these files are still in the vpk archives and need to be extracted.

I already tried but this doesn't help. Windows 11 will download it, but once you try to extract delete the content! It seems this works the same under Windows 10 and 11:
Open Windows Security.
Click on Virus & threat protection.
Under the “Current threats” section, click the Protection history option.
Select the file or application you want to allow.

Glitches encountered so far: 1. In the opening cut scene when the, prince spares the player character's life, the camera focuses on an empty doorway for about a minute before the next scene where the prince starts talking to the player character. 2. If you leave the doorway in the tutorial level from the right side, then jack gets dragged into the wall and reappears repeatedly, then you get 2 experience points and the tutorial ends. 3. Sometimes the door into the first building can't be opened in the tutorial because the tutorial for the use key never shows up, rendering completing the tutorial impossible. 4. I see lots of stray textures in the tutorial level with "trigger" written on them. 5. The cut scene where the sheriff kills the Sabot doesn't trigger because Jack's character model is missing. 6. Jack doesn't always appear when you enter the alley, which makes completing the tutorial impossible at that point. 7. Sometimes opening doors in Gimble's prosthetics causes a weird graphical glitch that makes it impossible to see what is on the other side of the door. But you can still proceed through the door. 8. Sometimes the doors are completely missing, but the doorknob is just suspended in mid air, so you can walk right through the doorways in Gimble's prosthetics. 9. What I think is Gimble's bed is missing, because a pillow is just floating in mid air in the room that he comes out of before the boss fight. 10. Sometimes reloading a save on the beach on santa monica causes the thin bloods to disappear, except for the sear lady, and the sand to disappear, leaving behind only ocean water. 11. When I try to load save files in the santa monica medical clinic, I get an engine error: bad inline model number 77. I don't know if the problem is windows or the patch. But I know that when I played this game on the same computer years ago, only glitch number 7. was there. So its not my hardware.

Points 4 and point 11 are indications that you continued an incompatible save which you mustn't do and which can cause all the other issues you are listing here. If you run the game directly from Steam you need to use the launch options: -game Unofficial_Patch

When I run the game it displays a backscreen and plays the audio. The games works perfectly fine without the patch. I've run it as an administrator. I've turned anti-virus off. My graphics card is up to date and meets the requirements. Windows 10. Using Steam. I've tried alt-tabbing and when I hover over the application it displays a freezeframe of main menu, but when I click on it it displays the black screen again. I've been trying to fix this for the past hour and I can't figure it out. Any solutions would be helpful because I can't find anything else online.
I've heard it runs better on GOG, perhaps refunding on steam and buying there might work, if you have any info on that?

Still doesn't work, it's the same backscreen with audio. I'm thinkin it's a resolution bug or something like that, because it also minimizes all my other tabs into the same box when I exit out of it.
It's the same issue when I launch it out of it's directory too, except it doesn't minimize my other tabs when launched out of there.

That setup should be no problem. Try setting this resolution using ResPatch.exe in Patch_Extras\Player Mods, maybe you accidentally set it to something your monitor can't handle in the game itself.
