once i accidently activated celerity in downtown, the whore near LaCroixs tower went screaming of panic because i was just running a little faster, but than after a few seconds a mob of townpeople came to me and attacked me :)
nothing to do except kill them with great loss of humanity...

I like the way, because they used the mortal gangers, hommies and gangsters as Sabbat thugs in the warehouse mission, they didn't bother re-naming them... So if you have subtitles on and you walk down the street, any casualy dressed person is a "Sabbat Thug"
Sabbat Thug says: Kehe
Sabbat Thug says: ffftt
Sabbat Thug says: ahem

The prince WILL be dissapointed to hear that 85% of all mortals are working for the Sabbat, wont he?

I'm not sure getting nabbed by the cops for sinking your teeth into live rats in the middle of the street IS a glitch.. If I was a cop and I saw some psyco in a giant hat and a white fluffy pimp suit eating live rats in the middle of the street, I'd put a bullet into you as well, and put on the paper work "Shot werido, felt better about the world"

I have experienced a few of these, but I am hppy to say that I have not had all of them! LOL Here's a bug/glitch that I haven't seen on the list yet. You are moving, in any direction, and you take your finger off of the keyboard to stop. Guess what, you don't stop...the game just keeps moving you in whatever direction you were going in. I once went down an entire street, bumping into things, until finally I face planted a building! LOL It really sucks when you are fighting and you run right past your opponent, or worse, right into a pack of them. Can you say Final Death?!?!?! LOL

Press the direction key of the direction you're unintentionally running, ie. "w" if you're northbound!

I don't know if this is a bug
but The Odious Chalice doesn't seem to work
It said it has 6 blood points but if I try to use nothing happens (blood pack works)
I've found similar problem on google, but for him it worked after he restart game
In my case even if I restart computer nothing happens
Maybe I do smth wrong?

And 2nd is rare bug with sound dissapering, witch do not come back until i restart PC (restarting game doesn't work)

The trouble with cut scenes (i think) is that they are not exactly supposed to be compatable with the Source engine on which the game runs.

HL2 has no cutscenes, so this is something the developers at Troika will have had to have do themselves. It is very true that they could have done a better job of it though.

One of the funny things I just encountered with was that I killed Patty inside the Confession, but beside the door so that no one actually saw me doing it. I left the Confession and did some quests... then I was passing the alley way beside the "gargoyle building" and look who's there: Patty!
I tried to talk to her and she told me: "What are you doing here!?"
I might have asked the same thing! lol

One I thought strange happened in Brothers Salvage while playing as a Nost. I got behind the Carnival Killer and -- no cut scene. Not knowing what to do, I started hacking at him with my ax - lots of blood but no damage. So I buffed and potentized - same result. Leaving him alone didn't help either so I reloaded (saved after exiting the office door to the back so it wasn't a problem).

So, what sort of creature is this carnival killer anyway? Kind of looks like the creature from the Black Lagoon.

I fixed that bug in the unofficial patch long ago :) .

I'm not sure this is technically a bug but it was amusing: heading towards the hole in the cemetary wall behind the Sin Bin, an oil barrel started rolling around. I took a look and found one of the rats evidently has supernatural strength.

Jack in tutorial

One of the most bizzare bugs I had, was in the tutorial just before you shoot the bottles. When I went to talk to Jack he said the speech he first made when you first met him, then he went on to say every single spech for the tutorial. :p you just had to listen to them. It's only happened to me once, I found it quite funny at the time. :laugh:

How to fix the movement problem...

When the game starts, hit the windows key to minimize it, then right click on the bottom bar to bring up a menu, then left-click on "task manager". Click on the processes tab, go down the list until you get to "vampire.exe", right click to bring up a menu which should include "set priority". Go to that and set the priority to "low". (It'll give you a warning, ignore it and click on "yes".)
Now exit task manager, then click to bring up the game again.
Now, there should'nt be any more movement issues.

ahem

I've been reading all the posts and I have to say, sounds like I got a really good copy of the game. Only problems I had were not being able to find Beckett on my way to the Last Round as a Malk and problems with Ming Xiou's door as Tremere...
