I'm not kind, I'm actually a dark skulking thing that's as large as a rumor and eats politicians for breakfast, but it's a fair suggestion. Of course, the list may not arrive for a while.

Problems Again

Well i managed to pass that bug with the boat thx to you but now same **** happens again after i've finished talking with niles in that hotel in hollywood ( think it's called lucky star or something like that).
I've talked with niles and he gave me a quest to kill that japanese vampire and the kill camarilla boss and i've agreed (like i had any choice) and then i left the room and got to the exit of that hotel and pressed "E" and it started loading and then just crashed and i've got back to deskotp!!!!

Anyone got solution to this problem??!?!

can i get to the exit and instead pressing "E" open console and write some **** like i did with that johannes problem?? something like this?

changelevel1 or changelevel2 hw_luckystar_1 luckystar_landmark (if this landmark exist)

i could write taxi_landmark hmmm....

I'll try that now .. maybe something will happen

Anyway if u know how to get this fixed just tell me so i don't have to sound like smartass ;P

kR1pt0n1t3, check out the forum rules, especially #3, about forum profanity. We're strict on enforcement, here. The site's in the US, and all we need are a few complaints these days to our Host before they become nervous and bad things happen to us.

So please follow the rules. Anyone who doesn't could end up with deleted posts, or removed posting privileges.

Sorry about that

I was somewhat in a hurry so i just quickly joined and posted and then got away

didn't have the time to read the rules

Won't happen again

Anyway i solved the problem and it's kinda easy when u got an example. If u have problems with crashing like i did in luckystar hotel the all u have to do is opet the console and write for example like i did this:

(i first tryed using changelevel end i ended in the street with some freaky looking charachter with no status at all)

changelevel2 name of the city u're in
if u're in hollywood then use this hw_hub_1
if u're in downtown then use this la_hub_1
if u're in Santa Monica then use this sm_hub_1
if u're in ChinaTown then use this ch_hub_1

and for the landmark i use always taxi_landmark coz i don't know any else then this one

in the end u get this

changelevel2 hw_hub_1 taxi_landmark
changelevel2 la_hub_1 taxi_landmark
changelevel2 sm_hub_1 taxi_landmark
changelevel2 ch_hub_1 taxi_landmark

i'm not sure if this will work 100% but if nothing else helps try it

I managed to get over my problem with this

Maybe i've missed something like i lost some weapons or something else . We'll see later ^____^

PS: Those guys that posted that they can't use weapons or something like that when they enter ventruetower should try something like this:

changelevel2 la_ventruetower_1 ???_landmark - maybe looby instead of ???
changelevel2 la_ventruetower_3 ???_landmark - maybe office instead of ???

Don't know what the landmark should be and i can't find the list of the landmarks anywhere. maybe it's lobby for the first one and for the second office?!!?!?

Hello there.

First of all I'd like to say hi as this is my first post as a member.
But to get down to business, I (naturally) have the same problem at the society of Leopold.

As a first solution I downloaded the patch, but as soon as I installed it my entire game went to hell so I had to re-install the whole thing and then go through the entire game again.
Now I'm back at the society of Leopold and I'm trying to use the console
but it keeps saying "invalid target"
I've followed the instructions on this thread to the letter and its still not working!

What exactly do you mean with "enter your own path"
I'm sorry about this but I just have very bad computer skills and i REALLY want to finish this game (especially because i'm playing as a Malkavian)

It may help to mention that i'm Dutch and i have a downloaded version of the game (which I got from a friend)

I'M ON MY KNEES HERE, PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Melchiah · Post by **Melchiah** » Sat May 21, 2005 1:12 pm

Well i got the console working (no thanks to anyone here)

Apparently someone forgot to mention (or i overlooked) the fact that you have to press space before entering -console.

Don't you just hate it when something like that happens?

Being rude isn't going to make you any friends or get you answers on GameBansdhee, Melchiah. Read the forum rules, and follow them. It's a weekend, people are busy, and if you expect answers in a few minutes to your problems, you might want to consider joining another forum. Nobody here is forced to provide help; everybody does it out of their kindness, and when time is available.

Melchiah · Post by **Melchiah** » Sun May 22, 2005 8:45 am

I'm very sorry about that, i just get so frustrated with stuff like this that i forget my manners, i didn't mean to be rude and it won't happen again.

Hello everybody!
I'm Enrirex, from Italy. I'm so sorry, my English lacks a lot so when I write so you'll have a hard time to fully understand what I'm trying to say. I hope to be clearer as possible.
I read all the tips you gave to resolve this problem. Still, I haven't managed to clear it. I did everything you said - console, SaveJohansen, Changelevel2 La_hub_1 taxy_landmark by staying close the boat - but the game still crashes. I got closer to the boat, but after giving those commands.... crash again. I don’t know why it does. I'm getting bored to do this over and over again. And since I don't have time to trash away on loading and I can play little, I want to solve this problem earlier as possible.
Here are the questions: I need to stay on the bridge? On the edge of it or in the middle (considering that I'm close to the boat)? If it crashes four times continuously, it means that I'm uncapable of solving this problem or there is something wrong? I think I'm not doing any mistake, but if you find something wrong in my topic (grammar not included) let me know.

Thank you for your help. Enjoy your last nights, folks. Gehenna is near

[QUOTE=Intergalactic]For me:
G:\Spiele\Vampire\vampire.exe -console
works. Without any " "" "'s. Weird.
Well , i will update my post above with the new info.[/QUOTE]

You only need quotation marks if there are spaces in the path (like "Program Files". As your path has no spaces, the quotes are unnecessary. In Command Line parlance, whitespace is a token delimiter, hence the need for the quotes. (Oh, and 'whitespace' refers to any printable character that cannot be seen - space, tab, line-feed, etc)

I solved the problem by installing the 1.2 patch. When you use the boat, the game doesn't crash anymore.

Katan_01_Mirage

Right after the Society of Leopold quest, my computer crashes. I tried using all of your great suggestions like " -console" at the end of ".exe". My only problem is that the console appears at the begginning of the main menu. I am foced to close the console an lode my previous game, before the jump into the boat, I press the "escape" button but when I hit the"^" button, the console does not appear. The "^"Button is the one with the 6 RIGHT? Or is it another button? "I need somebody's help. I am at my witts-end after so many faliures." Can anyone help me? "Pretty, Pretty, Please?" I will be eternally gratefull if someone helps me out.

Thanks in advance

That's the 'caret'. You're looking for the 'tilde' which looks like this: ~. On most English keyboards it is the shifted key left of the '1' key, but it may be elsewhere for other languages.

:laugh: Thanks Yrthwyndandfyre!! After punching every key on my poor keyboard, I managed to find the "console" and I was able to continue. I couldn't have done it with out you, but now I encountered another problem. During the Ming Must Die quest, on the second level the wooden bar sealing the two red doors for the next level won't budge. I can't move it out of the way. Then there is a strange case of "Brought to life again" guards. I stealth/kill the guards, and as soon as I move there is another guard that pops in magically. What I tried to do, was to re-start the quest and it solved the "guards problem" but again the wooden bar won't budge. I tried using disciplines, attacking, and anything I can think of, but I'm still stuck. Does anyone know why that happens? After the Society of Leopold there are other small glitches that I was able to work arround for exception of this one and honestly, it is driving me insane!! But still, I appreciate your help.
Sorry that I have to almost whine a lot but it's the first time I play this game and it is one of the games that has the most glitches I've ever played with.

Thanks again for your time and help: Sorry that I couldn't write back so soon.

My pleasure, Katan. With the respawning guards, I've never found any better solution to them than just killing them all. They're annoying, yes, but they're there and I don't like leaving enemies behind me. The trick is to kill the last one of them *after* you have gone past the place where they respawn. If you do that, usually they won't respawn again.

With the wooden bar, that is a well-known bug in the system. Other members have suggested restarting the game over and over again until it finally moves. That has never worked for me, so I just bring up the console using the tilde key, and enter the command 'noclip' (without the quotes). That allows your character to move through walls. After entering 'noclip', you move through the door to the other side, and then enter 'noclip' again, which turns the feature off. Then you are normal again and free to continue on the quest. Have fun!

Thanks again for helping me out Yrthwyndandfyre. Since I was busy all weekend, I'll try your suggestion today besides, Two persons can't be wrong. (I hope. Jk). Thanks to you too Superman I'm glad it work for you too.

After the third or fourth time of re-starting the game, I noticed too many different outcomes. The last time I re-sterted the game, I was suprised to find only three guards "Two guarding the doors, and one out there by the water mill (wich I had killed)" I was in for a big suprise when five other guards magically appeared from no where and started gaining up on my character. Tough litlle battle but they were all killed just the same. I also have a similar strategy as you do when it comes to battle. If I can't talk, sneak, (or weasel Jk:laugh: ) my way out of a battle, I wipe out *everything* in my path. Usually, I take the stealty approach in battle and by far, the best for me. (That's because my character is a male Toreador and they are very lousy with meele. Too bad for me because I mostly use katanas and other bladed weapons to do my character's mercenary work. It is very interesting how Toreador characters are unusually good at stealth attacks. )

And as you wrote re-starting the game, does not help with the stubborn little doors. (At the most you get fed up with the game/situation)
If it works I'll let everyone else know. Ok
Thanks again for helping me out (I really appreciate it.)
