Problems with Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines

I installed the game and the installation was fine. I begin to load the game and my monitor goes into stand-by mode. I can hear the music of the game, but I just can't see anything. I tried a few things from their web site and I was hoping I could get some ideas because I am really having problems with it.


My system is as follows:

1.4 ghz pentium 4
512 RDRAM
Geforce 3 64mb(not Ti)
Sound Blaster PC 128

Sounds like the resolution is set to high for your monitor or video card, that or the refresh rate and luckily your monitor/video card is detecting it and not displaying it.

Try to find a config file with the resolution and lower it down.

I did try lowering the resolution through the registry and I may have not lowered it enough, I'll give it a shot in a little while. If anyone has any other ideas I would be very appreciative.

I would hazard a guess and say that your computer isn't powerful enough to run the game. It runs kind of clunky on my machine at 800x600 and it's specs are:

P4 2.66 ghz
1 GB DDR RAM
Radeon 9600 128 MB

Xiangsu,

-Go into your Gforce 'refresh rate overrides'
-Change the 800x600 option from default to 60Hz.

I have one idea: if you do get to play the game, try a Malkavian.

Sorry, don't think your computer is powerful enough to run it. I have a 2ghz chip, and a Radeon 9500 128mb graphics cards and it was slow and crashed a few times. It is a good game but it has far too many bugs.

In my glee of fixing the problem with the game I forgot to come back to this thread and tell you guys. Vizzini, you were right, thats exactly what I didn't do. It works, but not that well.

From what I have seen of my brother playing it, the performance is terrible. We are considering getting a new computer next month, but until then he seems content with the skipping around.

Thanks for trying to help

There are tons of options to speed things up. First thing is to disable high quality sound, and environmental sound. Then reduce the resolution and details to bearable levels. All of those things combined make for a large speed increase. Ultimately, however, it's a game that demands a lot from your system...

Its your video card and slow processor, wouldn't hurt if you had more RAM too. Vampire - Bloodlines can be a memory hog.
