GAMES Unofficial Patch 2

VIEW SOURCE

The Unofficial Patch is a community-driven project that has been in development since official release of Vampire: The Masquerade –
ANIME Bloodlines in October 2004. It first started as a collection of minor fixes but has grown into a huge package that also restores content
Unofficial Patch
that did not make it into the release version of the game and also adds some high quality content created from scratch by the
community. It is widely considered the only proper way to play the game.

Description
Release date: October 4, 2016

The project was first started in December 2004 by Dan Upright and soon taken over by Werner Spahl, better known by his nickname Download: Patches Scrolls
START A
WIKI Wesp5. Originally merely meant to fix obvious errors, some of which were soon after addressed by the official Patch 1.2, the project has (Germany) (http://www.p

massively grown over the years, addressing thousands of both minor and major technical and gameplay issues, rebalancing the game h/4647/7/)
and restoring or adding content that was for one reason or another missing from the release version. Planet Vampire (Canada)

In more recent versions the patch is distributed in form of a configurable installer which allows deactivating certain features (more 3.exe)
about that in the Plus Patch section further below). And unlike early versions, which simply overwrote the original game data, it now Planet Vampire (France)
(http://patches2.planet
uses a structure inspired by mods for other Source Engine games, which keeps the base game intact and allows to parallelly use other
vampire.com/VTMBup9
mods, which may be incompatible with the Unofficial Patch, without having to maintain a separate Bloodlines installation for each one. 3.exe)

Background
As the original game's release was heavily rushed and Troika Games (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troika_Games), the studio that created Bloodlines, was shut down by Activision
almost the moment the game was released, the official technical support was extremely brief, with only a single official patch having been released. As a result, the game was left in
a comparably bad state, with many bugs left in the game and many of them being potentially game-breaking. With the lack of long-running official technical support the Unofficial
Patch quickly established itself as a de facto standard in the Bloodlines community.

Plus Patch
As the patch grew over the years more and more changes and additions were made to the game which are widely considered controversial, particularly by players only interested in
fixes to problems still present in the final official version of the game. This even lead to an alternate series of patches known as the True Patch. To counter this the Unofficial Patch
was eventually divided into two separate versions, a "basic" version and a "plus" version, the latter of which contains major additions to the game which arguably do not represent
the creative vision of the game's original developers. At this point the patch is distributed in form of a configurable installer and the desired version can be selected during the
installation process.

Summary
Having been in development for more than ten years the patch covers massive amounts of changes which can't all be summarized in a comprehensible list but a brief rundown of
the nature of the changes is listed below (changes exclusive to the plus patch are marked with a plus sign):

Fixed graphical glitches, missing sounds and game crashes

Fixed game logic, quests, locations, dialog options, interface, items and weapons
Added widescreen support
Added parallel mods support
+ Improved balancing
+ Improved key bindings
+ Restored multiplayer functionality
+ Restored real-world names of weapons
+ Restored "History" feature during character creation
+ Restored quests, dialog options, locations and items
+ Restored Disciplines and Discipline casting animation
+ Restored textures, music, sound and visual effects and interface features
+ Inclusion of the Eye Replacer mod (more detailed eyes)
+ Wolf character model with original animations when using Protean Discipline

Online Presence

Yes, the patches by Dr. Werner `Wesp5´ Spahl are splendid. And, even in 2021 he still helped downloaders by answering all our questions.

Verification for my changes to this WIKI:

https://www.moddb.com/mods/vtmb-unofficial-patch

Latest patch version on date of writing is 10.8, and I personally tried to bummer Dr. Spahl (not Dr. Grout, I am certain) into going patch 11.

Kaspersky Total Security is all over this patch like a rash, are we certain this file is clean?  A false positive?

I personally use this patch and I can assure you it's virus free. Just make sure you download it from a trusted website, for example https://www.moddb.com/

There is a small tool in the Unofficial SDK which hides popping up bat file windows so it looks more professional. This is sometimes seen by Antivirus Programs as critical...
