VtM: Bloodlines 1 Year Anniversary Q&A

Is Bloodlines buggier than Arcanum?

Neither game is buggy once you've installed all the available patches. The problem with Bloodlines is that many (though not all) players experience very low framerates, stuttering sound and other issues on systems that can handle visually similar games without a problem. And the 'minimum system requirements', more than in most games, is verging on the dishonest.

I never got any bugs in Arcanum...but Bloodlines, even with the official patch...is a buggy mess for me. Playable, but a mess.

Damn it make up your minds everyone. Are the fan made patches good or not? I keep hearing that they fix problems others say it creates more.

 

 

After playing through with and without patches... I say, unofficial patches are bad.

 

Not only are there some game stopping bugs towards the end with the latest, but some of the "rebalance" and tweaking they did it just plain stupid.

I updated my video driver for my ATI 9800 Pro then went to replay Bloodlines again and it was running something awful, stuttering all over the place, dropping frames, gah. So I rolled back to the previous drivrer and it was fine again.

 

Obviously this progamming thing is an art not a science. :blink:

Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

Is there any way to fix the memory leak?

It'd be nice if a few Troika employees would just...I don't know, take some time out of their busy schedules, in the spirit of the season of course, to make a few amendments to their code...and distribute said modifications through some third party websites... :(" *Hint, Hint* *Nudge, Nudge* *Wink, Wink*

Off the record type stuff. Good idea.

I need help in Bloodlines!

Im stuck.

 

Im doing one of the final quest and cannot get to the next room, im in the room with the bit indoor waterfall where the Kuei Jin stay, well i can't open the doubledoors with the 2X4 blocking it, it simply wont open for me, i have no more bad guys behind me, i don't see a puzzle in sight, whats up?

 

When i get near a door an icon shows up indicating me to push open the door but i press forward into the door nothing, I press the action button and nothing, i hit it with fists, weapons nothing, any tips?

1. Walk to the door

2. Turn 90 Deg to your right

3. walk against the "bar/Handle" to remove the latch

4. Open the door

5. Go forth and kill every SOB in the temple. :blink:

I dont mean the Nosferatu elysium, i mean the bit leading up to it.

 

 

Yeah, I found that part was fun depending on what clan I was playing.

 

As a Brujah, Nossie, or Gangrel it got tedious, though brawling my way through those monsters was satisfying.

 

Playing Toreador and Ventrue gunslingers, it was downright terrifying. I had to make sure and keep enough blood in me that I could keep Celerity going, because if those beasties got ahold of me I'd be down to a sliver of health within a few exhanges. Thankfully I put a little bit more into my Ventrue's defense stats (those were sacrificed in the Toreador build for the extra levels in Celerity).

 

Playing as a Malk, or Tremere it was kinda 'meh'.

I just sneak behind EVERYBODY and choke, samurai sword or use the bottom to kill them swiftly. My sneak was high early on so i haven't had any difficulty, i can go right up to people and bump them, they just look around cautious and the meter goes to 96 typically.

 

I chose Toreador.

I absolutely loathe that part. >_< It's where I stopped in my furthest play through.

I like the baseball bat for stealth attacks, for the Easter Egg. >_<)
