    Troika's last game, Bloodlines, has got a new patch from it's fans.
    <br>
    <br><blockquote>Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines unofficial patch 1.6
    <br>---------------------------------------------------------
    <br>
    <br>This is an unofficial patch for Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines
    <br>by Troika Games. It is build on Dan Upright's great unofficial patch
    <br>1.2, which it includes together with its partially corrected readme.
    <br>
    <br>To install it extract this archive into your game folder keeping the
    <br>directory structure intact and backup any files being overwritten if
    <br>you want to remove it later.
    <br>
    <br>This patch attempts to fix many bugs and improve other things but no
    <br>guarantees are made, since not everything could be tested. It can be
    <br>installed easily on top of the official 1.2 patch from Troika Games.
    <br>
    <br>Confirmations of fixes marked with a "*" would be nice, also reports
    <br>of any other problems, glitches and non-crashing bugs that have been
    <br>missed up until now.
    <br>
    <br>Not done (impossible?):
    <br>-----------------------
    <br>When using the console be sure to activate it from the menu only.
    <br>Before reinstalling the official 1.2 patch clean up the registry.
    <br>Sometimes Beckett stays in his animal form when first meeting him.
    <br>Game may hang on Beckett's "wait" cutscene, reload or use sewers.
    <br>Nosferatu and Tremere havens do miss the food critic quest reward.
    <br>In Mings hideout the bar may not move, just reload until it does.
    <br>Some feed victims stay in trance so don't bite quest related ones.
    <br>The news report a bloodbath even if you just sneak-killed Johnny.
    <br>Tremere Bloodshield stays until it is exhausted, this is no error.
    <br>Stuttering and slowdowns are memory related, use at least 512 MB.
    <br>If a container auto-closes right-click the objects to choose them.
    <br>
    <br>v1.6
    <br>----
    <br>All dialogues were spellchecked for typos and more by Paul Moloney.
    <br>Several mistyped variables found could provide additional dialogues.
    <br>Fixed variables in texts of Ash, Bertram, Boris, Venus and Mitnick.
    <br>Corrected still not working Hitman quest fix and other related bugs.
    <br>Adjusted damage values of Steyr Aug, SWAT rifle and Ithaca shotgun.
    <br>Lowered lockpicking skill needed for chemical substances door to 10.
    <br>Prevented triggering the building scene before getting Muddy quest.
    <br>Made Model Citizen quest show failure directly after leaving Tawni.
    <br>Cleared up the log texts of the Muddy quest and Pishas occult quest.
    <br>Reconstructed lip-synchro for the misplaced Isaac text moved by Dan.
    <br>Re-branded Uzi, Mac 10, Glock 17c, Ithaca and both Remingtons guns.
    <br>Fixed double option with wrong link in the dialogue file of LaCroix.
    <br>Renamed Purge to Blood Purge and spellchecked all other text files. </blockquote>
    <br>Good thing somebody spellchecks the game six months after its release, it was a feature I really missed last when I played it last Christmas.
