Alors que Troika à abandonné depuis près de deux ans le support du jeu, des développeurs amateurs continuent de sortir des patchs pour l'excellent Vampire: the Masquerade - Bloodlines, sorti malheureusement bourré de bugs.

Ce nouveau patch, estampillé 3.3 est cumulatif (c'est à dire qu'il comprend toutes les versions antérieures) et peut se télécharger chez 3D Gamers pour 160 Mo. Evidemment, n'espérez pas de révolution dans le gameplay, mais quelques corrections de bugs divers qui sont explicités en détails dans le changelog (anglais) se trouvant dans la suite de la nouvelle.

Vampire: the Masquerade - Bloodlines unofficial retail v3.3
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines unofficial patch 3.3
---------------------------------------------------------

This is an unofficial patch for Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines by Troika Games. It's a cumulative patch containing all the previous patches and works best for english retail and Direct2Drive versions!

Applying this patch to a version in another language should work ok, but all texts in the game previously appearing in that language will be replaced by the english versions with the exception of the menus.

To install the patch extract this archive into the game folder using options that keep the directory structure intact and overwrite every file of the same name. Removing it is only possible by reinstallion.

This patch attempts to fix many bugs and improve other things but no guarantees are made, since not everything could be tested. It can be installed easily on top of the official 1.2 patch from Troika Games.

The more basic changes are listed at the top of the version history, then bug fixes and more. It is recommended to start a new game after patching to avoid odd behaviour, but updating between hubs may work.

Because of the restoration of the histories the patch comes with the original config.cfg, so change all the options to your liking again. If you get problems with the histories in the tutorial just skip it!
