Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines Receives an Unofficial Patch in Time for Halloween
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines is a great game, at least for the most part. It has an amazing story, well-realized mechanics, and good gameplay, but the game quickly falls apart when you realize it was rushed out the door in a buggy, incomplete state. Many gamers claim it’s literally impossible to finish Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines without a fan patch due to game-breaking bugs, and fans continue to make these patches more than a decade after the game was released.
The latest fan patch for Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines was released less than a week ago on MODDB. This patch, known as the VTMB Unofficial Patch 9.9, includes a lot of changes and improvements, which include:
- Provided shortcuts to skip most endgame fighting, see walkthrough.
- Added beheading blood and restored props to Chateau and junkyard.
- Improved rotate camera movement setup and SDK, thanks to Psycho-A.
- Restored Vision of Death and Suicide damages and Aggravated Soak.
- Added door trap to warrens shortcut and improved museum fire exit.
- Fixed casting hands, feeding histories and Pearl of Dubai effect.
- Restored Yukie animations, missing ambient schemes and Chang jump.
- Fixed bugs with Trip’s drug and Gary’s fleshy ball poster quests.
- Improved title menu and character sheet clan symbols, thanks IanW.
- Fixed Hannah’s appointment book date and more minor text details.
- Restored basic pistol ammos and fixed tutorial bug, thanks Malkav.
- Hid map bugs in SM hubs, clinic, museum,Society, and Luckee Star.
- Fixed blueblood, Bertram and Yukie dialogues and some map details.
- Corrected hand and sound in Nines intro cutscene, thanks DLLullu.
The patch’s page describes Patch 9.9 as “not really a mod, but while the default basi patch mostly only fixes bugs, the optional plus patch, that can be choosen at installation, is like a restoration mod adding a lot of unfinished content, including new quests, maps, weapons, items, characters, dialogue, graphics, models, sounds and music!” Given the state Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines was released in, these patches come highly recommended by most players, especially for gamers who want the definitive experience and want to witness what gamers should have received instead of what they actually got.

Recruited Since Last Month: More Than Eight Million Helldivers 2 Players
The relentless force of Helldivers 2 shows no signs of slowing down, as recent reports indicate that Arrowhead Games Studios, the Swedish developer behind the game, has sold over eight million copies since its release on both PS5 and PC just last month.
According to TD Cowen analyst Doug Creutz (thanks, VGC), who spoke to Bloomberg, it is believed that the game has exceeded expectations in terms of performance. It’s amazing how word-of-mouth buzz and the unconventional guerilla marketing strategy keep driving up recruitment numbers week after week. Arrowhead’s studio motto, “A game for everyone is a game for no one,” reflects their unwavering commitment to their unique internal design philosophy.
It appears that the PC community has recently surpassed the PlayStation fanbase in terms of player numbers and platform preference. However, thanks to crossplay, both groups continue to benefit from the growing popularity of gaming. Although it’s not particularly thrilling to see yet another service game achieve rapid success, the hardcore nature of Helldivers 2 fills us with optimism for Sony’s ongoing live gaming endeavors. We anticipate dedicating ourselves to the defense of Super Earth for many years to come.
What are your thoughts on Creutz’s sales estimate? Does it come as a surprise to you? Does it exceed or fall short of your expectations? Have you noticed any changes in your level of enthusiasm for the Democratic Party? Has it waned or grown stronger? We would greatly appreciate your feedback in the comments section below.
