Bug reports, Issues and Solutions

[Wesp5]

You should probably turn the radio off as well, it sounds tacky having both play at once. What was the original beach music supposed to be?

It was supposed to be the standard SM theme and I think there are several places where background music meets other local music.

Specifically, the wide ones at the beach house that can be broken.

Damn, you are right, those have no breaking sounds! I added some in. Anywhere else this happens?

What you can do however is change the battle track to something that isn't obviously supposed to segue smoothly from something very quiet and gentle when the replacement normal music is loud with lots of percussion.

Every music change is fading in and out, I really don't see a problem with the new music, especially in battle.

The other one (the middle one) isn't accessible from the top, but the tank can be opened from underneath, and if you look up you see water.

I don't think anyone will notice that unless they really look for errors like you do ;).

The infinitely spawning ones in the room Nadia leads you into.

These zombies are not spawning infinitely, they are limited number and in the end the door will break down.

Sorry for wrong report :D I checked it there too :)

- i can talk to dead people -  O.o

so i decided to reinstall the game and play it with patch 7.9. then i came across some good old friends and new ones.

first of all some entity bugs occured again. i may create a seperate thread for that later, since no one seems to have ever posted some pictures about that, and i have no idea if these can be fixed at all (they seem to be hardcore random within the engine but show patterns).

and what is the deal with the item menu? i never really understood that.
is it supposed to halt the game while opened or should the game continue behind? should it only halt the scenery in combat but not in safe areas? i do not know. but i discovered you can have both when you
1. open the inventory AND the scenery is halted
2. you enter the character screen AFTER THAT by pressing "c" or any other

then the game continues hidden behind the character sheet or log files, which can lead to death in combat.

another thing is the Ocean House. i never noticed music problems, but now in 7.9 i missed the great "Disturbed And Twisted" track after entering the house. sometimes later it started.
after all this was the first time i noticed the atmospheric rain and wind so this wasnt even too bad or even changed?

then Stanley Gimble. the new possibility is a nice idea, but has some flaws. one of them got already mentioned, the others are:
A. at the intercom, right after having chosen option "4" for the buzzer and before entering, i can use the intercom again, but then all the 4 options cause the buzzer to activate and with "4" Gimble repeats himself.
B. after sending Gimble to Vandal the intercom can be used again and dead Gimble responds to option "4" like before (instead of the intercom being deactivated).
C. him going back in does not make any sense when sending him to Vandal. given that he is NOT ACTIVE down there after entering and freeing his victim. but since i guess that it is hard to change a whole scripted event including animation, i would suggest to make him appear or even lock a door (like the second for the basement) with the quest being updated to "check back later". a delay would also compensate for the otherwise humanity loss.

probably mentioned more than once since the beginning. but Doctor Malcolms patient seems to have the same old problem. described as seriously wounded, he still manages to stand up and ignore physics while a vampire feeds on the doctor (i finally had to take a screenshot). funny and weird.

another thing is the Warehouse quest. is the "Planted Astrolite without killing anyone" supposed to do anything? because i never experienced that message (only the "Planted Astrolite without being detected").

and then there are some combat related things that bug me.
Chastity for example: it is not possible to kill her with Blood Boil. at least not before she engages in combat. and if Blood Boil has been cast on her before, she is running about with the effect applied but not taking any dmg. (basically i approached her then, cast Blood Boil, closed the door and walked away)
i do know that there need to be several NPCs with infinite life to be able to continue (it would be hilarious to kill the Sabbat leader before he can even talk), but Chastity? why not make her engage as soon as the door is opened?
in addition to that i had the idea of killing special enemies like some bosses with spells like Blood Boil or Vision of Death. those are protected from these special effects but i would like to have them applied IF the enemy has low health and that spell would kill him due to damage. basically "if NPC health - damage of spell <= 0 remove protection" and make things go boom. the argument would be that these enemies where to strong to kill them with these spells but could not withstand them after having become too weak.

Pisha seems to have serious brain damage in combat. and while i do not like fighting her, i thought it to be interesting to see what she does in combat. using the telekinesis and summoning zombies in the basement. however, she also likes to kill herself in her own flames which she casts at the entrance. that at least when the player stands in the corner on top of the stuff below the ventilation shaft. she tends to run to the right then, right into her own flames where she takes damage until final death. solution? possibly more flames below the ventilation shaft. or how about a fear spot at the flames for the AI?

finally one big thing considering stealth combat which may be hard to change.
the cross bow is described as being silent, but is not. NPCs always engage, no matter what. same goes for several hidden cast spells, like Blood Boil. being hidden in a dark corner and having every value at 0 does change dramatically as soon as the NPCs take damage. with Obfuscate 5 however , it is possibe to stealth kill them undetected (yes it deals no dmg at all but kills instantly). so i understand the processes behind but wonder if you would have any idea to change a bit there to add some logic.
the main problem seems to be their range of vision as soon as one of them gets hit. and while i think Bloodlines is one of the best RPGs ever created that went through mainly unnoticed, i for my part hate the game for that. stealth kills are fun, but causing damage silently from a hidden position should only trigger a cautious behavior, not instantly reveal the player position to all NPCs.


thats it for now. thank you for still working on these patches. i had some fun playing it again.

[Wesp5]

after all this was the first time i noticed the atmospheric rain and wind so this wasnt even too bad or even changed?

I think this is intended, at least I can't remember changing anything there.

A. at the intercom, right after having chosen option "4" for the buzzer and before entering, i can use the intercom again, but then all the 4 options cause the buzzer to activate and with "4" Gimble repeats himself.
B. after sending Gimble to Vandal the intercom can be used again and dead Gimble responds to option "4" like before (instead of the intercom being deactivated).

This seems to be a bug left over from the original game. I'll fix it in the next patch!

C. him going back in does not make any sense when sending him to Vandal. given that he is NOT ACTIVE down there after entering and freeing his victim. but since i guess that it is hard to change a whole scripted event

The problem is that he won't be able to leave with you standing in the door and you could always follow him immediately. But I did lock the door of his last personal room so he might have a backdoor out of it...

probably mentioned more than once since the beginning. but Doctor Malcolms patient seems to have the same old problem. described as seriously wounded, he still manages to stand up

I tried to fix it but there seems to be nothing that can be done about this.

another thing is the Warehouse quest. is the "Planted Astrolite without killing anyone" supposed to do anything? because i never experienced that message (only the "Planted Astrolite without being detected").

It should give you an extra XP in the basic patch.

Chastity for example: it is not possible to kill her with Blood Boil.

She might be immune to some disciplines.

in addition to that i had the idea of killing special enemies like some bosses with spells like Blood Boil or Vision of Death. those are protected from these special effects but i would like to have them applied IF the enemy has low health and that spell would kill him due to damage.

Great idea, but I don't think this is possible.

or how about a fear spot at the flames for the AI?

I don't know if something like that even exists...

the cross bow is described as being silent, but is not. NPCs always engage, no matter what. same goes for several hidden cast spells, like Blood Boil.

I think all of these are not completely silence but only from a large distance. Otherwise they would be much too powerful.

[Malkav]

For Chastity, I know that disciplines like suicide or vision of death work randomly, due to her true faith. I have killed her with these two in quite a few games, but sometimes it took about four or five attempts, before she finally wasn't able to shrug off the effect. In other games however, she died at the first shot.
But I don't know how this partial immunity to disciplines works for thaumaturgy effects. Even with the one Tremere I ever played, I have killed her with suicide.

[Washer]

i didn't know that "Planted Astrolite without killing anyone" was supposed to work only in the basic patch.

well, now aside of the weapons, the thing with Blood Boil is that it can be cast silently. no NPC notices it. but later, when the target explodes and practically deals damage to surrounding NPCs, and if it does not kill them, the remaining NPCs instantly attack the player. even though they had no idea he was there or is even hidden behind a obstacle and the origin of the damage was their member.
i tested it several times, and the only way to avoid it seems to be to cast it on a target and get out of their range of vision before they take damage.
my idea would be to simply increase the blast damage of the explosion, so no NPC survives it. not the best solution, but it solves the logical problem of getting detected.

and Chastity can indeed be killed with Blood Boil. just not before combat. that at least i found out.
without the life bar on the screen, the combat has not begun. if cast then it deals no damage at all and leaves the effect on her. after she has engaged in combat, and with life bar on screen she can be killed with it.

The problem is that he won't be able to leave with you standing in the door and you could always follow him immediately. But I did lock the door of his last personal room so he might have a backdoor out of it...

well we do know that he does not. so i thought more about locking another door, preventing the player to progress there and come back later (binding it to a quest or storystate) when "suddenly" Gimble is gone for sure and his victim can be freed without any interruption.

[DeeKay]

I couldn't find any posts about this earlier: As I started battling Andrei for the first time, it seemed as if all my defense was set to 0, or maybe even lower, although my character sheet says otherwise. Okay, my stats may be laughable at 3 stamina, 5 res to bashing, 2 to lethal and 1 to aggravated, but one of those meatbag monsters from the snuff films shouldn't be able to finish me off with ONE strike?

[Wesp5]

well, now aside of the weapons, the thing with Blood Boil is that it can be cast silently. no NPC notices it. but later, when the target explodes and practically deals damage to surrounding NPCs, and if it does not kill them, the remaining NPCs instantly attack the player.

You are right, but this seems to be hard-coded into the AI, nothing I change about the sound or covert variables in the discipline file fixes it. And I don't think making Blood Boil even more powerfull is a solution!

well we do know that he does not. so i thought more about locking another door, preventing the player to progress there and come back later (binding it to a quest or storystate) when "suddenly" Gimble is gone for sure and his victim can be freed without any interruption.

I don't like that. We can always pretend that he leaves after you free Carson and somehow overtakes you on the way to Vandal. Also I think this is a kind of detail that most people would never even be bothered about ;).

[DeeKay]

Drat, I forgot to point out the most important part, which is that it seems like the spell (bug?) or whatever that was put on me during the fight with Andrei didn't go away, so the snuff monsters were able to kill me off with one hit.

Reinstalling the game and patching it again didn't seem to help. However, enabling 'god' mode during the fight, and then switch it off again afterwards seemed to work fine.

Again, could anybody give me an explanation as to why this might've happened?

EDIT: Re-installing and re-patching the game seemed to have worked. Still is a strange bug, though...

[HammerToast]

I've posted this in another thread, but I figure I may as well post it here to give better clarification.

System Specs:
Intel HD Graphics Card
4.0 GB of RAM (rest of game runs fine despite this)
I have 22 gb of free space after full installation of VTMB
Digital Distribution copy
OS: Windows 7
Running as Admin
REALLY BAD bug severity. Game crashes, I can reproduce results even over multiple uninstall/re-install cycles

Using the compmod (latest version OR 1.0 doesn't seem to matter which) WITH NOTHING ELSE INSTALLED except for a simple CD crack. No mods, skins, patches, NOTHING. Base game is v1.0 (can't get the official 1.2 patch because it tells me its already installed for some reason). I have recreated this error numerous times and have uninstalled and reinstalled the game more times than I can conceivably count.

I have seen this issue announced several times on this board but I am continually aggravated by the sheer lack of times it has been addressed or fixed. If it has been fixed by the people who posted the complaint they have not posted their solution.

It is quite simple, the precache error. When I recruit the bum in the beginning of the game and try to bring him with me into my haven the game crashes with a "no precache" error after the loading screen finishes loading. I decided I would actually get the crash report and post it for further clarification. I will literally do ANYTHING to get this bug fixed. If this bug is unfix-able then just come right out and say that I'm fucked and I'll give up all hope for ever successfully using the compmod.

Here is the official crash report from the game:

I have not included the stack because it does not fit. If it's required I can email it to you or post it separately. From what I can gleam (having no formal knowledge in coding or the like) the issue seems to be with the engine.dll file. . . which comes with the compmod itself. But I am merely grasping at straws here out of desperation.

I have seen this issue announced several times on this board but I am continually aggravated by the sheer lack of times it has been addressed or fixed.

The problem with this is that Dheu, the creator of the CompMod, hasn't been active here for a long time. But I will make burgermeister aware of it, he included some of the CompMod features in his CQM, maybe he has an idea...

Plus 1 at Hammer, we're having the same problem.

I did notice that, it happened with the clan quest mod as well however, the issue was instead with Heather though.

THE PRECACHE ERROR BUG HAS BEEN SOLVED!!

I still have NO IDEA why this works, but trust me it does.

1. Uninstall and re-install the base game and NOTHING ELSE
2. Start a new game and make it through the opening cut-scene and tutorial (or skip the tutorial) and wait for you to end up in your haven.
3. Exit the game (You don't need to save, but you will need to start a new game anyway so no need to bother.
4. Install compmod*
5. Start a new game, the error should be gone now when you transport your new minions.
6. ???
7. PROFIT

*- BE SURE to install compmod v1.0 AND THEN 1.4 on top of that. The purple texture and "I have no valid reply" is fixed by installing one after the other.

Credit and kudos to Pyre for discovering this fix!

Firstly, my apologies if this is in the wrong place or there's a solution here somewhere. I've gone through this whole thread looking for a fix, but haven't seen one.

I installed Clan Quest Mod, the Unofficial Patch +, complite, and the arsenal weapons mod. Absolutely no problems, not even a single crash, up until I met Heather.

Right after making it back from the Elizabeth Dane, I decided to test Heather in combat, so I went to the parking garage to do the quest to get the briefcase. I both wanted to test Heather and frankly didn't have the patience (or skills) to sneak through, so we went through killing everything. No problem until close to the end, where Heather would fall down after being hit once, and then could only be damaged by me for five or so shots, at which point, she'd stop having the damage numbers appear over her corpse/body.

After a handful of reloads (to keep Heather alive), I managed to get the briefcase, and then decided to go to the Skyeline apartments. Once I went inside, I noticed a serious problem...EVERY door in the building has a safe floating in the middle of the doorway. The elevator safe can be jumped past, but no other safes in the building. Because of this, I can't enter any of the rooms, either through the elevator OR the ventilation.

Does anyone know what the problems here are with Heather and the door-safes? Is Heather supposed to die after being hit once (to show some sort of health difference between ghouls and vamps, maybe)? Does she basically feign death when too many enemies are nearby? The only reasoning for this (aside from the obvious bug/incorrect installation) that I can think of is that maybe she's weak after being fed from...but I haven't fed from Heather once yet on this character.

Thanks in advance.
