Problems since 2.4 patch.

I've noticed a couple of problems now since I installed the 2.4 patch.

First one. When freeing Lily from the chair in the clinic and after the dialog. When she leaves, my character starts walking towards the door on her own. Problem is she gets stuck right to the left of the doorway and just stays there. I can move the mouse but can't move my character. Noclip does not work. I even tried to save at that point (trying to force a save and load to maybe jog her into the entry) and got a message saying "can't save while frenzying". Huh? Had to restart that whole sequence about 4 times before she finally got through the doorway.

Second one. When first getting on the ship to check the sarcophogus. Up the latter and towards that first cop. When I get to him, he just continually says "over here" over and over again motioning to my left. I have to sit there and quickly hit the dialogs as he just keeps repeating this. Finally I can get away but all the way down, I can still hear him repeating this. Even after I walk all the way to the sarcophogus and then back to the boat, the stupid ass is still standing there motioning, "over here". Something is definitely wrong.

BTW, this patch did fix the issues getting Jeannette/Therese to reconcile. A lot more dialog is there this time between both of them and a lot more options to respond to.

But those other two problems are really bad.

In the readme for this patch it says the Tremere Haven is now independent of other quests. I have no idea what that meant cause I just played up to that point of getting the haven and didn't see anything different than before.

"Problem is she gets stuck right to the left of the doorway and just stays there."

That problem has existed since thegame came out, problemisnot from the Unoffical patch.
AfaIk that problem occurs when you try to control her while she isin frenzy state, i.e. moving your forward, back or strafe keys.
The reason you are in frezny is becase it is a way for the Devs to take control of the PC to accomplish a task, i.e. force dialogue with Vandal.

The reason the cop waves to you is because you are Spose to talk to him. :p
Unless I misunderstand what your saying, the cop has been paid off to help you.
I mean it doesn't sound like you can't get the dialogue started, more your are trying to avoid the dialogue, at least that's how I read it.
This also has nothing to do with Unoffical patches, if I undersand you.

Yes, if you have a high enough Seduction when speaking to Jeanette before you do Slasher Piece you, should have a nice new surprise. ;)

It means you can wait to do the Plague Barers quest till after you do the Gargole quest.

No. What I'm saying is as I'm walking up to him he motions over here. Problems is, he get locked into doing this over and over again, like he's stuck. I can't walk away at this point. Then the dialog starts popping up with my responses as he's still saying "over here". I can hear disjointed things from him (the things he's supposed to say) but it's all drowned out by his continuous "over here".

Ok I understand better now. :)

Well if you started a fresh game i.e. not using a save form a previous version of the Unoffical patch, then this could be a new problem as I haven't seen this ever posted before, so I will keep it on the list to look out for. :)

What clan did this happen with and are you using any Histories or other Mods which effect game play?

That issue with the cop on the Dane is an old bug. It occurs when you move towards him too soon. Instead, wait for him to finish telling you to come speak to him, then start moving.

I experienced this bug once a long time ago, and never again. Just assumed it was somethign corrected by one of the patches.
