This new topic is a continuation of http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=27081515

I'd like to lock the above topic, but don't know how.

I did as I was told in the above link:

Stoutlad: Get We5ps latest unofficial patch. Without it, having 4 gigs of ram (for whatever reason) makes the game default to muddy textures like you are describing. It is a known issue that the patch will fix. You can find the patches here.

This is the sequence of what I did:

1. I installed the VTM -Bloodlines and copy my old 1.2 official patch saved games into it.

2. I applied the 1.2 official patch.

3. I load my latest saved game and I notice the low resolution of all 2D graphics in the game and post a new topic (see link above)

4. I get Wesp's latest unofficial patch from http://www.patches-scrolls.de/vampire_bloodlines.php as instructed.

5. I install said unofficial patch, choosing the Plus option over the Basic one.

6. I play the game and the graphics are way cooler now that even the 2D elements in the game are higher res.

7. I try stuff in the game, see the new things the unofficial patch has done.

8. I try to get my character to feed in the HUB areas of the game...lo and behold, you can't feed on any NPC, not even on rats!!!

Tried Visions of Death on NPCs and they don't die, whether they be humans or rats. But hysteria works.

And...get this...I can apply Mass Halucination on rats. I can't remember ever doing any discipline on rats.

9. I try playing a new game and is pleasantly surprised at the added new "history" options you can choose when creating your character.

10. I try feeding in the tutorial area of the game (which resembles the HUB areas, only I am not sure if it is a HUB area) and my character is able to feed on humans and rats.

11. I reinstall the unofficial patch, this time choosing the Basic option over the Plus, hoping that it would fix this issue. It doesn't.

How I can fix this new problems?

PS: In COMODO Forums, I was adviced to get http://rapidshare.com/files/70323348/ResPatch.zip if the unofficial patch did not solve the original "2D elements in game being muddled" issue.

Now that I have a new, "Can't feed on NPCs in HUB areas of game issue, not even on rats, among other issues." Maybe I should try the ResPatch.zip? I'd still like to try the latest Wesp unofficial patch though.

I have always played the original unpatched version and I don't have any problems with it. Don't really see the reason for patching it. It's not that full of bugs. Extremely awesome game though.

You know, I can do that too. I can play it unpatched. I just have to settle for all 2D elements in the game to suck eggs. At least my vamp would be able to suck blood, speaking of sucking that is.

I'm playing it right now, using the True 5.04AT patch with hotfix 6 (released around 19th of September - watch out; it's an adult-only site if you wish to download it). No bugs, just a couple of crashes (mostly alt-tab related), also, I've had a few large objects and whatnot spawn in the Downtown area, effectively blocking access to some areas. I just restarted the game and it worked fine.

I'm curious. How does this patch differ from Wesp's patches? I can't seem to find any details on the True 5.04AT patch using Google.
