Looks like a really great game so far (I dont think the gfx are that bad), but the performance and bugs are really stopping me from enjoying it fully.
I'm getting odd scenes where it appears sounds are missing and im also getting delayed sound fx (footsteps).
After first going outside from your hotel room im getting only 26fps @ 1280x1024. Also at times it dropped to 13fps after coming out of the nightclub. All this on a 3500+ and X800PRO Sad
It better be a beta ver.....

yeah but if a memory leak was the only problem it'd run better when first started... it doesn't.

Could people who has this running perfectly outdoors (and some do) post some spec's and info? Maybe service pack version, driver version atleast.

Something is horribly wrong here Wink

Download refresh force
Set refresh force settings apply dont reboot
go into regedit

HKEYLOCALMACHINE-SYSTEM-CONTROLSET001-CONTROL-CLASS - {4D36E96E-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

You should see 0000 or 0001 depending on your monitor settings
and then it should say MODES and OLDMODES

EXPORT as regfile 0000 your primary settings to desktop.

LOAD refresh force and Restore original settings

Then just apply the Exported regfile you saved wolla no game has EVER complained about forced refresh rates, and if a game wont work because refresh rate is too high some games cant work above a certain refresh. Just look for the numbers
2.0-254.0,085.0-120.0,-,- in the resolution you want change say 120 would be the max and 85 would be mininum just change 120 to 85.

It does seem alot of work, but once its set it become second nature and takes 2secs to do...


from isonews , worked a treat for some Wink

Just export the number of your monitor 0000 or 0001 it depends where the drivers installed the monitor if your worried export both Wink

this game seems great. cd1 was mounted on Alcohol and works like a charm even in my ti4200 vid with 1280 res.

trouble is that when i using a burnt cd without mounting, it doesn't work. it tried to read the cd for like 3min and failed with exe error msg.

burnt exactly followed by instruction in NFO with liteon ltr-48246s burner and I have LG DVD Rom. tried use both drive but failed too.

I think my burner is able to handle safedisk 2/3.
anyone here can give me an advice to make working?

Thanks in advance.


I've got the same problem, anyone knows how to fix this?

Ok, a few things about VtM:B (BTW, I beat it last night; exquisite game! ~20hrs playtime I would say, running through it again w/ a different race and sex to see other possibilities.)

Anyway, on to the few things.

Concerning the game not working when you burned the CD. It probably hangs at the Bloodlines/Ank window, doesn't it? This is most likely because you're using a low-quality CD-R (or it's incompatible, I don't mean to call your CD-R's crap). Try another brand (can never go wrong w/ gold -R's)

If it still doesn't work, go to http://www.rpc1.org and find the latest firmware for your burner. I had to do this w/ Spinter Cell:PT due to it's SD2/3 protection as well. It worked but only after ejecting the tray and closing it again.

If that doesn't work, get the latest ver of Alcohol and mount it. The latest ver of Daemon Tools seemed to crash my PC everytime I tried to load the game (same w/ FlatOut's protection).

If it STILL doesn't work, buy the game! It's wonderful I can vouche for that. Like a twisted, Vampire-world alternative to Deus Ex 1, IMO.

Ok, if you're getting an .EXE error message when you start the game from the burned CD (remember to follow VNG's directions), it's probably because either A) your CD-R is kinda crappy or B) your burner doesn't write SD2/3 protection very well.


All that aside, the game is buggy, I agree. I personally had problems with...
Delayed footstep sounds
Missing sounds (e.g., when sneaking up on a Sabbat from behind and sneak-attacking him w/ the bush blade, there is no sound for the action, the console reported it as well)
I had to use the "map <map name>" command in the console to switch to the next map (right after fighting Bach) because when I hopped into the boat, the game would quit after loading the next map. I ended up losing my quest info, weapons, and all my experience. Basically started the next map from scratch.
There is problems w/ clipping planes, like getting stuck in doors, doors closing if you touch them when they're opening. Also the "movable objects" are a pain if you step on/over them. I've gotten stuck numerous times and had to "noclip" out of it.
I've noticed the AI teleports around a lot.
The FPS of course is an issue (especially outdoors, my specs below)
Speech will be missing from dialog boxes (when talking face-to-face w/ someone)

Hopefully a patch will be released soon.

And no fools, I'm sure this isn't a beta. Another group would've called a nuke on it right away.


System Specs:
P4 3.2E
P4P800-E Deluxe
2GB Hynix PC3200 Dual-channel
GF FX5950ultra (latest Omega Nvidia drivers)
SB Audigy
200GB Maxtor DMP9 SATA HDD
Plextor 708-A DVD-/+R
All latest drivers + WXP patches/updates

Get about 60-100 FPS in doors, 15-25 outdoors.


Hope this info helps.


P.S.
If you want to access the console, edit the shortcut path to resemble "C:\Program Files\Activision\Vampire - Bloodlines\vampire.exe" -console

Just like that, with the quotes and all.
