First off
SPOILER WARNING
If you haven't been through all of Chinatown and further read no more. The contends may rob you of some of the fun !!
Right then.. I'm really feeling hopeless!
When you come face to face with the vampire hunter leader, and after his demise find the Norwegian dude, things goes all wrong! When hunter leader not being dead and presses the button to self destruct I naturally decides to run like a little girls toward the exit.. After a few tries I figured out that there was no way I could run all the way back to the top, and then I noticed the speed boat! Nice I thought, this is certainly the ticket out of here. So I jump aboard and the load screen appears. However when it is complete the game crashes and shuts down entirely and suddenly I'm staring at my desktop! Right so after trying again & again no improvement.. 5 Times I tried and each time it crashes! I even tried jumping down on different parts of the boat just in case.. To put it lightly - Its really annoying!!
Anyone else got this "little" problem??
Nooooooo! Crash

Yeah, it is a common bug. Here is the work- around:
1. Create a shortcut to vampire.exe (Or just right click on the shortcut on your
desktop/start menu)
2. In the menu select "Properties" (should be the entry at the buttom)
3. Now a new Menu will appear. Look for something called "Target". There you
should see a patch to the vampire.exe file.
4.Write " -console " behind this path, but without the ""
5.Now start Vampire using this shortcut
6.Load the safegame
7. Go near the boat,but not so far that the loading screen appears.
8.Hit "Esc"
9.Press "^" (The key right of the 1 on the keyboard)
10.A console will open. Type:
SaveJohansen()
changelevel2 la_hub_1 taxi_landmark
( Or as Nosferatu: changelevel2 la_hub_1 sewer_map_landmark )
11.If you find yourself without inventory after that, reload and try to move closer to the boat.
Enjoy
Btw, there are several threads about this problem. Try looking here in case of further issues.
