Hi everyone, hot on the heels of patch 3.6 comes patch 3.7, because 3.6 included some game stopping bugs for players choosing the basic patch (no, this was not intended , it just shows the added difficulty to maintain two patches in one) and because of some important gameplay changes with the new Blood Heal discipline, the changed Blood Buff and the Leopold Society clans that need some common testing ! Because 3dgamers didn't react at all the last time, the patch will first be available from The Patches Scrolls : game updates, patches & addons - We have them first! and also be mirrored by Signothorn on Planet Vampire itself (BTW, moderators you could also post this in the news section). The changelog is below:

v3.7 12.06.2007
----
Added Blood Heal discipline and slowed automatic heal rate by half.
Changed Cadaverous Flesh history and occult heal rate accordingly.
Restored Leopold Society clans and clan equipments for multiplayer.
Lowered Blood Buff effect by two points and corrected info symbol.
Lessened criminal levels of both crossbows and raised their damage.
Modified Eliza to raise brawl and lowered firearms book condition.
Made indirect disciplines not traceable and decreased maximal ammo.
Removed humanity gains from Milligan and fixed Wong Ho background.
Swapped lower dodge book with dodge powerup so reading makes sense.

Fixed several crosshair issues and wrong icons near the Dane crane.
Corrected several tutorial popups and mentioned camera adjustment.
Repaired critical basic patch bugs and restored overlooked changes.
Fixed clinic guard humanity loss and some other minor text issues.
Removed masquerade redemption and double xp for sending Patty away.
Made Potence fit description and finally fixed npctemplate* files.
Fixed an Arthur reward and Vandal, Slater, Ji and cabbie dialogues.
Removed player knowing the names of Ox's patron and asian vampire.
Prevented picking of two Temple doors and repaired Hollywood music.

Fantastic work on the new patch - just one thing: it may be wise to include a warning with the patcher which warns someone that they might have to do a clean install of the game and to re-start any games in progress, and give a YES NO option for the install.
I only say this because I have experienced a major bug myself which was caused by not reinstalling. I didn't reinstall because I didn't know I had to.
Of course, if everyone else knows they have to and it's just me being dumb then no worries .

Again, good work - Vampire Bloodlines is an excellent and immersive game and it's great to know that people care enough to resolve some of the problems it's had.
Keep up the good work

I don't think you need a re-install and the re-start is mentioned in the readme. Maybe I should pronounce it some more...

Where could I find the basic version of 3.7?
