Game Forum / PC Games / Action Games / January 2006VTM - Bloodlines unofficial patch 2.0 is finished...
...and waiting to be made available for download by www.3dgamers.com from which it will be mirrored to the usual other sites like e.g. fileplanet! I hope that although it is friday 13. ;) we don't get another corruption like with 1.9, and 2.0 also solves a big chinatown issue left over by that corruption even after the re-upload. Special thanks this time must go to RobinHood70 who did a great job checking all the dialogues against speech and subtitles and who fixed a lot of other bugs he detected while doing this! This patch will eventually be translated into french and for the first time into german too. For a list of all major changes see below: v2.0 ---- All dialogues matched to speech and fixed thoroughly by RobinHood70. Repaired a lot of lines that were not audible to female characters. Removed Empire key after use and continued standardizing many names. Made Prince react to Persuasion for money when sending you to Ming. Restored additional lines of Jack, Imalia, Ming-Xiao and the cabbie. Fixed money bugs with Bill, Hatter, Heather, Misti and prostitutes. Made Empire clerk bisexual, responding to Seduction from either sex. Restored Ventrue specific Prince dialogue and more cut extra lines. Removed an exploit with Copper and fixed Jeanette taking your knife. Restored unused Nosferatu and Malkavian lines of Tseng and Wong Ho. Fixed possibility of Beckett not talking on return from the Society. Corrected bug caused by 1.9 corruption that broke Chinatown quests. Restored feeding on rats that would not work for some people in 1.9. Lessened MAC-10 kickback on firing with increasing firearms skills. Moved dance spot at club Confession because of the cross-zoom error. Made crossbow bolts purchasable sooner and added a doll easter egg. Provided baseball bat and tire iron to anyone skipping the tutorial. Corrected Hitman quest rewards and added peace-talk lines for both. Fixed problems with morphine quest and more after angering Mercurio. Cut exclamation of Nadia that was audible when she was not present. Removed the annoying sidetable in Gary's lair and hid two map holes. Changed wrong status display for the power of pump 118a in warrens.

The only thing the official patch does is correcting some engine related stuff that we can't do on the unofficial side. Any game related bugs are probably corrected in 2.0 quite the same.

I don't know about "cool". A race that goes around blowing up populated planets just because they have had some contact with the Shadows doesn't qualify as "cool" in my book.

I got about halfway through it and gave up. The film has some good potential but is in bad need of some major pruning (preferably by someone outside of the project), it is just too long and drawn out.

I watched the whole thing in somewhat sick fascination. Totally agree that it desperately needs some decent editing. Was pretty amazed by some of the FX work. Perhaps half a dozen laugh out loud moments. The makers have potential.

There is not much to understand about Pirkenning. It's just a big spoof of ST and B5 including blown up fights like the www.spacebattles.com movies.

SignatureWerner Spahl (spahl@cup.uni-muenchen.de) Freedom for "The meaning of my life is to make me crazy" Vorlonships Too bad I sold my copy months ago... It's this kind of crap that I hate. I play a game that should be great but ends up being a POS because of bugs, you hold onto it thinking it'll be patched, and then it just sits there collecting dust so you figure you might as well make a few bucks off it while its still worth something. Then a year later they decide to patch it appropriately. It's one thing if a game has minor glitches that need to be fixed, but between this and Far Cry (which I couldn't get running until patch 1.3 btw) that irritatates me and makes me want to wait a year before buying the game. Anyhow, I digress. >Too bad I sold my copy months ago... It's this kind of crap that I hate.

Werner and his friends are probably directly responsible for additional sales of VTM. I hope that Activision notices and volunteers some monetary compensation.

Werner and his > friends are probably directly responsible for additional sales of VTM. The patches were started by Dan Upright right after the release of VTMB, so instead of selling his copy, the original poster should have searched the web. I don't know if there is another game with so many patches ;)! > I hope that Activision notices and volunteers some monetary > compensation.

I have bought this game but am waiting for your 'final' release before I install it. Hopefully by then my PC will be powerful enough to play it on max settings too! SignatureToby. Add the word afiduluminag to the subject field to circumvent my email filters. Ignore any mail delivery error. I was amazed to see that on play.com, Bloodlines is back up at no. 5 in the PC charts, ahead of World of Warcraft, the BF2 expansion pack, and The Movies! (admittedly at a budget price) I can't help but think that Werner's unofficial patch has something to do with this, by keeping the game in the spotlight and by encouraging those originally put off by the bugs to take a chance. It would be nice to see Activision give _some_ recognition to him. And I wonder if, anywhere, there's any talk of a sequel: if a bug-ridden game could eventually do so well, imagine how a near-flawless game would be received?

This game is so complex, it's no wonder it gives possibilities to so many bugs. Often I never even considered the option, which someone mails me a about. > the bugs to take a chance.

Even the Troika guys never said anything about the unofficial patches AFAIK... > of a sequel: if a bug-ridden game could eventually do so well, imagine > how a near-flawless game would be received? Problems are that you need a really great team like Troika was AND some really good playtesting. Also the WOD was ended by White Wolf already.

I don't bother about Activision for the fear, once they notice the popularity of the game, they would try to stop us doing the patches, but hearing from Troika would be nice and we could use their tips a lot ;)!
