Sweet. Looking forward to it.

One thing though, should I uninstall 7.4a first, or just overwrite it?

You can't uninstall an UP, but overwriting works just fine

Somehow the XP for telling Isaac about it got lost between UP 7.0 and 7.4... Damn, I just noticed that I forgot to remove it for the basic patch. I will make it plus only like it should be in 7.6!

Cool, I'll check it out. Do I have to make a new game after installing the new patch? I have 7.4

You need to start a new game, but you don't need to reinstall Bloodlines.

So now the clerk is only seduced by women?
Are there any other changes in the dialog file? Can I use that file's basic version with the plus patch?

No, the file itself checks if the Plus Patch is active. But you might have misunderstood, in the Plus Patch the clerk can still be seduced by men.

Does the patch works with the latest Camarilla Mod?

No, the Camarilla Edition is based on an earlier UP version. But the Clan Quest Mod which includes the Camarilla Edition will be updated to 7.5 sooner or later...

Well, I've had the 7.3 version of the patch installed but for some reason it crashes upon starting a new game and/or loading a saved game. I installed 7.5 hoping I would correct the problem, but no luck. Since my computer is 64-bit, I tried to run that and it said something about it couldn't find the file or there was a file access error. Any advice?

The 64-bit program is only needed when installing Bloodlines itself doesn't work. As for the crashes, what version of the game are you using, retail, Steam or something else? Did you install the patch to the correct directory? What Windows version with what hardware?

About the 64-bit, I understand now, I thought it was to be used if the installer for the patch doesn't work.

I'm using the Steam version, with Windows Vista 64-bit, with 4GBs of RAM and a Radeon 9500 I believe.

Yes, I installed it to the steamapps/common/vampire folder. Strange, I got it to work last night after posting my prior message, and now it won't work. I'll have to fiddle with it some more.

Disable autoupdate, otherwise Steam will copy the old files over the patched files which will break the game...

I'm sure this has been asked before, but wth, i'll ask. Is there a way or will there be a patch in which the unused songs for the game will be added where they should be? an example of this would be this song called China Boss Battle, that I assumed it was going to be used in the battle against Ming Xiao.

I know this has been added in some mods, but to be honest, i'm much more comfortable with the game as it is.

Hm, I'm not aware of these songs. Are they hidden in the game files or how would I get them? Are other songs used instead in the original game?
