Hi! I need help. I passed this Leopold bug by using the way of the console, you mentioned. BUT, when I arrive to the Venture tower, I can't move. I tried to use my fists, attack, use disciplines, etc., but nothing happened. I'm just standing in that place, and nothing happens.

What is the solution for this?

Please help me, because I'm start to fed up with this fu*in bug...

Didn't want to make a new post for this but:

I used the trick described in here to get past the Leopold problem, continued playing and then ran into another bug that I cannot pass: The cab in the first town Jack tells you to get to.

As soon as I try and interact with the cabby the game goes pop - any way to fix this, cause I REALLY wanna continue playing :confused:

I think this problem is unpreceded.
The common solution for this kind of problem is reloading an older safe.
There is no guarantee that this will work, but since this bug doesn't happen
all the time (like the Leopold one) you have good chance that it will work.

Have you tried moving closer to the boat before teleporting?
If moving closer doesn't do the trick you could try this unofficial patch:
http://oma.cultoftheinept.com/downloads/leopatch0.1.rar
If you want to use the patch you need to reload a safegame before you entered
the area with the boat after applying it. Even then it is not guaranteed to work.

Edit: Just thought of another option. This one is preferable to using the unofficial patch:

1.Load the safegame, where you are stuck and unable to move.
2.Now press ESC
3.open the console
4.enter noclip and press enter
5. return to the game
Can you move now?
If so move a bit into the air (not too much) and to an then enter noclip again.

This is not guaranteed to work either, but at least your game files are unaffected.

Ok

Hi! I have the solution now.

I tried to load an earlier save game in the Socienty of Leopold, and used the "console bug fix", and it worked. I find out, that the problem (can't move) was because I use the console when my character stood in the boat. If you use it earlier, you can move after the game load the new map. :)

Good hunt! :)

Not really sure but try this button: "§"

For me it's on the left side of the "1" button and above "TAB"

Also, did you edit the game shortcut to enable the console? If so, and you still can't get it up I guess you're stuck with trying all the keyboard keys....

I can tell you are frustrated, but don't uninstall yet. Would be wasting your money... .... there is much more entertainment in this game. Trust me :)
Make sure you get the following things right:
Get near the boat, but not on the boat.
For instance you could walk right up to the boat on the pier, but do not leave the pier.
And as OuterParadise has already pointed out, make sure you type exactly what was written in the second post.
The console is case sensitive.

I had this bug happen to me last night. When it crashed, I went "Ah, nostrils, I'm off to bed!" so I'm trying the walkaround tonight.

I just can't believe that Troika or Activision would release a game with this actual bug in it. I'm sure that all of us here are not using the same video card/set up, and the bug is a sev 1 game killer.

As a professional tester, this just dumbfounds me.

Cheers all,
TGHO

If you can't move/attack when you get back into city (after using 'changelevel2 la_hub_1 taxi_landmark'), just drop anything from inventory and grab it back. It works fine.

Unnofficial Patch To Vampire Errors (includes Grunfeld Bach Crash)

Ok i had problems with this too, nothing worked and i wasn't able to play vampire for ages, after the grunfeld bach crash. As my post in white-wolf forums

http://forums.white-wolf.com/viewtopic.php?t=6143

Well there is a solution as i found in this thread.

http://forums.white-wolf.com/viewtopic.php?t=6508

All the credit goes to NightsEvolution,
NightsEvolution wrote:Don't knock your system just yet.

I've seen post after post saying 'I guess I need to upgrade before it will run on my system'.
Should I get a new video card, more ram, faster processor. I've seen users that did ALL of the above, and it still didn't help them much. Heck, even I couldn't get it to run when I first got it. Thanks to that C++ error, but I finally got past it.

My advise would be to wait for a patch... there SHOULD be one out in the next couple of weeks. There is an UN-Official patch here:

http://www.planetvampire.com/bloodlines/files/patches/

But since it's not realeased by activision, I'd only use it if your problems are game-stopping.
Hope this you ppl, have fun with vampire.

hi guyz,
i have this goddamn bug that i am unable to get rid of...
well, after you do the society of leopold quest and jump on the boat/use console you will be moved next to ventrue tower near some derbis, ok,worked fine, no bug yet(because i have the 1.1patch hehe) than i went up to the tower... and another game-dalying bug came to life.... i am unable to speak to LaCroix... i`ve read the walkthrough and it says everywhere you should speak with him, but i am missing that 'Mouth' icon on him
If i speak to that werewolf dude, the conversation looks like i`ve already talked with LaCroix, but i havent and don`t have the quest for my next mission...
Tried 500x rescuing/leaving Johansen, tried leaving normally/abnormally the leopald scenario... dunno what to do... any ideas?
Thx anyway

This is a new bug. It seems like you can go on ,tough. You would only miss the Lacroix dialouge, which sucks if you play it for the first time.
Maybe you should remove the patch and try to get over that bug with the console. Even if it is messy, nobody seemed to have that bug.
