Unofficial Patch

The fan-made Unofficial Patch is essential for a bug free experience.

The Unofficial Patch is available in two flavors: Basic and Plus. The Basic version consists of bugfixes that do not dramatically alter Troika's vision for the game. The Plus version makes more significant changes including the reintroduction of cut content and numerous other improvements that go above and beyond what the developers may have intended.

NOTE: Due to its regular update schedule, not all versions of the Unofficial Patch will be compatible with all mods.

Instructions

True Patch

An alternate to the "Unofficial patch" the "true patch" is a purist patch, meaning that it only makes bugfixes and tries to preserve an experience as close as possible to the original game. It is effectively complete (has fixed practically all possible bugs that can be fixed), so users will not need to download a new version in the near future.

Issues and Fixes

Voices and Sound Effects have low quality surround/echo

If any of the audio sounds like they're attempting a reverb effect, but just sounds terrible, go to the options menu and turn off 'Environmental Effects'.

Input Lag

If the controls are hitching and unresponsive, particularly when moving and looking at the same time, change the compatibility of the main executable vampire.exe to Windows 98 mode.
