Need more help with Vampire

Some of you may remember that some time ago I made a topic asking if my PC could run Vampire:The Masquerade Bloodlines.

Well, I purchased a new video lcard which is much better and should run the game, but I'm having trouble wit the startup screen. Basically, it doesn't work, and because of that I can't play. Does anyone know how to solve this?

I'm sure you can do better than that. :) How about the actual error message and your system specs. Did you buy the box or download it off Steam? Which patch(es) do you have on it?

Activision tech support suggests changing your desktop resolution to 800x660 32bit before launching the game if you are crashing at the load screen.

Found this thread that seems to back that up as a possible solution.

I think 1.2 is the official path. You should really get the latest unofficial ones. I think they are up to like 2.8.XaosII

Actually it's up to 5.3.

Okay, thanks for the advice, I'll try and see what makes it work.

So far, it still doesn't work, the problem I get has something with the demoshield launcher in the CD, though the only message that I get is that it crashed and if I want to send an error report.

I got this message again, it said "Failed to Lock Vertex Buffer"
