Spent half of yesterday trying to make VTMB run on my machine, and eventually I succeeded - however, after about ten minutes of play my computer shut itself off just like that, and now it's sort of dead, so I have to let professionals have a look at it - blech. So here I am, without a computer. Sorry guys. (on my brothers machine atm).
Sounds like a power supply issue, or overheating. What did you do to make Bloodlines work? I have ToEE to play after I tire of Arcanum this time. I'm aware of the faults and glitches and whatnot, but want to play through fully once with the official patched game before I turn to Co8's and other mods. It's nice to play a contemporary D&D CRPG that tries to provide a good turn-based experience. I never did pick up Bloodlines, but I'll just have to complete the Troika, er, troika, one of these days. (How eerily fitting, the name, in hindsight... ). Hope your computer troubles are sorted out soon!
