Club Confession crashing after nosferatu warrens

Post by Boom-Boom »

Hello =)

I never had any problems with club confession before, but after i did the nosferatu warrens quest i came back to get my payment and it crashes all the time.

i tried changing my virtual memory to 2.5gig (i have 1GB real) but with no luck, i thought it might by a corrupted save so i loaded another one (when you kill boris) and it also crashes

in the crash log it always says it uses 80-90 % of the memory

also i have the newest unoffical patch installed 3.0 or 3.1 dont remember

any help would be appreciated :p

You should change your virtual memory back to 1.5 GB (or to OS control). Your paging file should normally be 150% of your actual memory for optimum performance, and that's not the problem.

Also, 80-90% memory consumption is not a significant problem. The game gobbles a lot of memory, and this is not an out-of-memory exception. It's an access violation. Different type of problem.

Without anything more to go on, I'd say that you had played Venus' dialog or the sound-track for her night-club outside the game in Windows Media Player. That tends to cause resource access problems that cause fatal exceptions such as you are experiencing.

Simple solution? Copy the folder "C:\Program Files\Activision\Vampire - Bloodlines\Vampire\SAVE" somewhere safe, un-install, re-install, patch to your current level, and copy the SAVE folder back to it's original location. You should be back in business. A pain, yes, and there are other ways to do it, but it would probably take longer to explain than it would take to just do the re-install. Sometimes, it's just easier to beat it over the head.
