VTMB Unofficial Patch Setup

• 1. Install the game from Steam or a disc and run the game once (it's fine if it crashes or shows memory error on a 64 bit OS).
• 2. Download the latest unofficial patch and run the downloaded executable as an Administrator.
• 3. Choose the installation folder when prompted and type of installation - Basic or Plus:
  • Basic Patch- consists of bugfixes that do not alter Troika's vision for the game and some minor changes made to streamline the experience.
  • Plus Patch (Restorations and Tweaks)- makes more changes including some fan-made content.
  • Patch Extras (Walkthrough, Shaders, SDK and more)

If you want to install the SDK select "Patch Extras (Walkthrough, Shaders, SDK and more)"

• 4. Put -game Unofficial_Patch in the Steam launch options (if using Steam version) or shortcut (if using disc/retail version) and run the game.
• Alternatively (Steam version only): You can also use steam://rungameid/2600// -game Unofficial_Patch to launch the game via desktop shortcut or start "" "steam://rungameid/2600// -game Unofficial_Patch" to launch via batch file.
• 5. To run the SDK navigate to your game folder, usually to find at common\Vampire The Masquerade - Bloodlines\Patch_Extras\Developer Tools\Bloodlines SDK and click on Bloodlines SDK. With a click on "Hammer Editor" you launch the level editor.
