Prob with graphs and the Taxiride SPOILERS

Anarchyjammer · Post by **Anarchyjammer** » Sat Mar 18, 2006 9:11 am

Aw. This has been teasing me for long time. the graphics bud actually in an unstandable way. For example, Jack's face is flurry and the colours go in every goddamn ways. He's beard is full of holes. And Ming Xiaos face is particually red!! And not to mention Nines... and many, many others. It bugs also if I look to somewhere further than within 3 feet.

And - I installed patches 1.2 and 2.1a - now the Taxi driver (after The Out for Blood-quest) won't take me to Vandals blood bank. When I say I need blood, I just can look around in the cab. I can go buy weapons and such, though.

HELP ME!!!! I'M LOSING MY MIND!!

Can't help with the graphics.

For the blood: did you make up with Vandal after releasing Lily? (either by providing another victim, by money or some other way (dementation, social skills,...).

Yes, I did.

The problem with Vandal and the blood during the taxi ride is a bug in the 2.1a unoffical patch, 2.2 is coming soon.
I just tried to win without blood or you can start a savegame before you go to look for Nines in the park and just buy all the blood you need.
Then just feed off all the Temple and Ventrue guards.
Also if you want more Edler blood packs then sell Vandal one, then he will have a supply.
Graphics, are you Video, Motherboard (if VIA) and Sound drivers up to date?

YAY!!! The patch 2.2 worked out, and after I updated my drivers (at 3.00 am :mischief: ) the graphics work perfectly!! Damn, they are just beautiful...

Could somebody explain to me why this dependence on blood packs? I've never actually bought a blood pack from Vandal. I've never needed one. There is always fresh blood kicking around on the streets for one and all, rats, the various blood dolls, the cattle, and so forth. Not to mention the blood packs you pick up along the way, victims in combat, etc. Blood bags everywhere.

Of course, I play Tremere, so I do have a couple of advantages that way, like bulk feeding off zombies, gangs, Kuei-Jin and Sabbat. Horking down a dozen zombies might seem a bit gross, but whatever works, and the stuff that comes out of the Odious Chalice is at least blue blood quality even if you fill it off rats and zombies.

I suspect you folk are being a tad reckless with your powers and the blood packs you do get for free. Save them for a rainy day, because there are a few of them. On the way to the Golden Temple, you should be able to pick up more blood than you need from your refrigerator, and keep in mind that you can always tank up at Tseng's in Chinatown if you plan ahead a bit.

Well, elder vitaes are fun and if I have 'bout 1500 $ more cash than I need in the end, why shoudn't I buy blood? It's also easier to survive if you cannot feed on Ming Xiao for example.

Did you buy the game, or download it?

Anarchyjammer · Post by **Anarchyjammer** » Fri Apr 07, 2006 7:35 am

Anarchyjammer · Post by **Anarchyjammer** » Thu Apr 13, 2006 11:23 am

OI!

ain't working... I thought it worked cuz it fixed other bugs but I still can't buy blood in the Taxi ride. I can just look around and even walk out of the taxi, like I was a ghost.

HELP ME HELP ME HELP ME!!! This is driving me nuts!!

If the only problem is buying blood at the bloodbank for the final part of the game, just don't bother. If you have the blood storing item thing you get from one of the quests then you don't really need to buy blood - there are loads of opportunities to feed throughout the final stages of the game so it quite easy to keep yourself topped up. Either that or see if you can use the console to add bloodpacks to your inventory rather than buy them. Its easier than trying to figure out what has gone wrong as I don't think anyone has any solutions at the moment.

Anarchyjammer · Post by **Anarchyjammer** » Sun Apr 23, 2006 6:33 am

The cheat console doesn't work if I take item with it, it won't appear in my inventory. And yes, I would reaally like to also buy blood in the end. That's it. I would just like solutions, not speeches of how do I not need blood packs (take no offense)

It might be the No-CD crack, did you try to reinstall it without the crack and see if it works?

I didn't mean it to come across as a speech for why you didn't need blood packs, I was just offering a suggestion as nobody seemed to be able to come up with a solution.

Perhaps you should ask your brother for help, then?
