Hi . I installed 1.2 official patch and 5.7 ( latest patch ) but it was happening with 5.6 too. I am using english version.

I am at the last part of the game , i've killed kuei jin , now i think i'll go and kill prince too. But when i enter the portal after i killed kuei jin , there is a loading screen , after the loading finishes , the game just closes itself , and return to desktop.

I ltryed it from save games list too ( Special Taxi Ride ) and its still same.

I've used godmode and impulse 101 ( all weapons ) cheats to kill kuei jin , without them , cant kill her..

PLEASE HELP ME! I really need to see the last part of the game!!

Sorry for my english , waiting for an urgent answer.

Kind regards ,
Aldurin

Kill Ming Xiao ***SPOILER***

Well, that closing to desktop sounds suspiciously like a fairlly common problem caused by listening to the game files with Windows Media Player (search for it - there are lots of threads). If it is the mode you're using to kill Ming Xiao (the head of the Kuei-Jin) that is the problem, you might try this (semi-legitimate) way of killing her (it isn't actually a cheat, but I'm pretty sure it's an exploit, so it's definitely a spoiler, thus it's blacked out). I know this works in V1.2 - I can't be certain of any of the patches (I've never tried any of them).
Spoiler
Before you place the last statue on the last pedestal, make sure your character is crouched, and preferably using the Downtown Armor (or less) so your sneak is maximized. Place the statue from the crouched position, and sneak through the portal. Do not use Obfuscate! That's bad.

On the other side, your PC and Ming will go through their dialog, and when it's over, Ming should be squidform but not alarmed. Perfect. Sneak down the right-hand-side of the room right against the wall, all the way back to the nook near the lion statue. She shouldn't see you at all.

Now, if you're Tremere, you can do this with Thaumaturgy. If you have enough blood packs and a ranged discipline in another clan, you can probably do it that way, too. In all other cases, have enough ammo of various types along to do it with ranged weaponry, and if you plan on doing it anytime soon, make it good ranged weaponry. I don't think the Jamie Sue can carry enough rounds by itself, but if you've got Ranged=10, it should speed things along (you can buy more ammo later). Otherwise, use the Anaconda, or a shotgun, or the McLusky, or all of them. If you happen to have a full flamethrower, this would be a good time to use it if you really want to speed things along.

Sneak up behind Ming, and use your selected attack until you find a range that works for it to hit her. Then start pounding away.

You won't get a life bar, and will have to judge damage from the shade of the damage counters rising off her wounds. Since ranged weapons are blunt damage, and ranged disciplines are supernatural, none of them will cause any of the little Ming clones to spawn.
Eventually Ming dies, you grab the key, and leave. If the cheat-codes were the issue, this should fix it.
