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.
Is there anything special about your system?
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.
Try removing all your old saves.
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
I never heard that this location might be a problem.
Hey every time i try to download it it deletes it because it says that its a virus
Allow if manually, check it with Virus Total if you don't trust me.
My computer detected this as a trojan, not great.
Allow it manually, check it with Virus Total if you don't trust me.
Any other means for downloading this patch? An automatic executable is quickly flagged as a trojan virus.
I already tried zipping it before, but Windows Defender will then flag it on extraction.
contain virus, cant download
It's a false positive, check it with Virus Total if you don't trust me.
Longtime fan, stopping in to say thanks Wesp!!
Oh wow, came here to check if there were any updates and am not disappointed. You're doing the Lord's work, Wesp. Thank you so much.
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 doesn't do this on my system. Do you have other mods installed?
Yeah I have the clan quest mod , anatribu, final nights, war games , prelude I and prelude 2 demo as well as unofficial , but they are all in sub folders independent of each other ?
In that case it shouldn't matter unless you merged some of them.
Hmm I’ll have to play around with it
Good luck!
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 see, dammit, it's more complicated than it looks... I better leave and forget about it haha.
Thank you soo much for the attention Wesp :D
First of all: thanks!
Second, though: I used to be able to override the window censorship of less often downloaded programs. I cannot do that any more, the option is no longer offered.
Which Windows are you using? I can still allow the patch fine in Windows 10!
I am using Windows 11.
Sorry, but then I can't help you. In Windows 10 you can manually allow any blocked file to be executed in the security center.
Seeing that this is the case: could you please post the files non-executable?
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
I reinstalled the patch and started a new save from the install wizard. That seems to have fixed it. Thank you.
hey man after installing this patch, autohotkey no longer works and it sucks... i only bound a spam of the spacebar to bunnyhop because the base move speed is horrible, but after updating, it won't work at all
No executable has been changed lately so I wouldn't know why this happens.
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?
You need to use these Steam launch options: -game Unofficial_Patch
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.
What system and resolution are you using?
Windows 10, 1920x1080. Using a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 TI.
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.
Ahh I figured it out. Apparently, unplugging and repluging my HDMI cable is what fixed it?

After so many years using moddb, I finally registered just to say thank you.
It is amazing that such an old game is still supported by moders. You are doing an amazing job and you are appreciated by all VTMB fans :3
I can't get into the elevator in The Asylum. So I can't progress in the "Explosive Beginning" quest.
Have you asked the barkeeper to unlock it for you?
No I didn't. That worked. Thank you. I don't know how I forgot about that. I have played this game through completely multiple times.
Have fun again then!
For almost 20 years you still keeping the game alive with your own effort with fixes and content and is MUCH appreciated. I have no words to say other than a simple but wholehearted THANK YOU !!!
the only downside..........DAMN I FEEL OLD !!!
but the game is still GOLD with your contributions
