[QUOTE=Blu3)Marine(]i guess that`s the only thing to do if i want to continue playing... :/ .... jesus... why did they released such a beta version of a game without any optimisation..[/QUOTE]

To get it out in time for the holiday season, and holiday sales. Who cares if we're acting as beta testers? :rolleyes:

I am surprised that noone has found a solution to no movement problem after the next level loads!
Anyway, it's a console thing again: if you cannot move after the level is loaded, bring up the console and type:

player_mobilize

And voila!

Pro Game Player strikes again! :D

Here's my problem

The professor never follows me outside of the hunter training area (hilarious, the werewolves are awesome) I guess the game crashes because of this. Is there a way to get the professor to follow me outside of the cave?

its la_hub_1 taxi_landmark, you simply put a "_" too much between 1 and taxi

Hey all....I am currently having the same problems, I thought this problem was addressed in the official 1.2 patch.
I don't want to cheat, and the RAR file posted some pages back isn't available anymore ( URL not found ). Is there a way around other then the cheat stuff ? or do I have to wait for patch 1.3 ?

Lol...well I would prefer a patch situation....

Can someone tell me when 1.2 came out? When I got the game it was out allready. And are there any rumours about 1.3 ?

To release a game with a bug as severe as this in is disgraceful. It's bad enough the game was half arsed but to have a bug so severe it needs a work around such as this shows just why this industry is on its arse.

In the games industry sh*t seems to float and to have been in the team that missed this bug means you have joined the elite band of crap that will probably rise to the top.

Its rare for me to play a game and not complete it, even if the game is poor, but this has stopped me playing this game. Its not only that I found some of the missions tedious, but the clipping, missing walls, invisible walls, cameras falling in cut scenes, the camera slipping when in tunnels when in 3rd person, de ja vu on characters in cities (as in you see them, they flicker and then you see them again where they just were) and holes in characters were already getting on my nerves.

Its lazy development, lazy test work and very lazy Q&A. All this left the gamer with a game that is half what it could have been and more cash in the pockets of companies who are producing uninspiring product after uninspiring product.

In fact, this game is no better or different than Deus Ex and how many years a go did we get to play that? You get forced along the same path, you get the same pointless dialogue with bosses you have to fight regardless of what you say to them and the difference between missions for various clans is minimal (I had this game running as Brujah, Malkavian, Nosferatu and Toreador to check this out) so the replayability disappears and they may as well not have bothered with having so many clans.

Personally had the fix been easy enough to sort out I would have played it to completion just to see the ending but its an added rigmarole (that often leaves you with another problem) and the game frankly isn't worth that level of messing around.

All in all a terrible use of the Source Engine and if I was on the team that makes that engine I would take legal action just incase anyone thinks that this is all the engine is capable of.

no, it's the other right...

[QUOTE=Intergalactic]

9.Press "^" (The key right of the 1 on the keyboard)

[/QUOTE]

you shure? The key right of the 1 on my keyboard has a strange symbol on it, looks a bit like '2' :D

But anyway, thanks for the workaround.


I tried to download the patch posted in this thread , but the link is dead. Any ideas where it can be found?

I think it won't work with 1.2. Best thing to try out is the console cheat. It worked perfect for me.

use copy and paste.

Just to let you all know you can use copy and paste like copy a line from this board and paste it into the console while playing the game. That is what I do and works like a champ....Oh just out of courosity could some one post the map list here pretty please??I would greatly appreciate it an awfull lot. Take care of yourselvs and your family here and at home.

Praga, I'm at a loss to understand what your post has to do with the discussion, above. It seems like you're attempting to steer the conversation to answer a question not previously posed, here. Am I wrong?

Well what I ment was instead of spelling things by typing them you could use the copy and paste thing. Like a long line of text that you see here. Saves you from typos is all due to the fact I am guessing people that post here look at there post before they send it. Kinda make sure it is ok before it is posted kind Moderator.
