Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines - Hoodlum Crack
 

There is now a proper crack for Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines, made by hoodlum (i assume its a no-cd crack, but correct me if i'm wrong)

I haven't been able to find it yet though (i guess it just became available) so if anyone has it, please upload it to gamecopyworld asap as it would be much appreciated (at least by me, if not by many other people who are looking for one and/or having issues with the mini-image)

Seconded.
Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the trouble to upload this to GCW.

wow, that would be a great news
I would really like to see this happen too

With any luck it should be there on the next update.

question
 

I would want to know how to do to walk the crack to play vampire bloodline. :(

The crack does not work for me. I get runtime error with the file vampire.exe

The crack doesn't work for me either does anyone have any Ideas the game just won't start I hit the button and nothing :eek:

Stupid question I know but you are putting the vampire.dll file into the installdir\Vampire\dlls folder as well as installing the vampire.exe to the main directory yes?
Sorry lads,the crack works ok for me. :confused:
Have you tried disabling any virtual drives etc.? ,the game apparently doesn't like emulation software.

I have uninstalled both emulation software programs I have and it still won't play

Sorry mate, wish I could be more help.
I've just uninstalled the game & done a fresh install with the crack to check & it starts & plays fine.
Not much good to you I know...... :(
Anyone apart from me using the Hoodlum crack with no problems?

Works fine for me too.

er, any1 knows anything about a crack to v 1,2?

I bet the patch haven't been out in 2 weeks...

the official patch:
here

I've spoken to some who say the patched game works fine with the original Hoodlum crack,and others who say that installing the 1.2 patch itself caused problems on other games they had installed not just Bloodlines.So I'm leaving my copy unpatched for the present.
Got a feeling this won't be the last patch we see for this otherwise good game in the near future...

I've just made a clean installation of Bloodlines, then used the official v1.2 update, and have noted the modification dates and sizes of the 2 files that are included in the no-cd crack. here's the results:

Original files (from clean installation)
vampire.exe - 7th Oct 2004 05:12, 1,291,215 bytes
vampire.dll - 14th Oct 2004 19:06, 9,139,197 bytes

Modified files (from official v1.2 patch)
vampire.exe - 7th Oct 2004 05:12, 1,291,215 bytes
vampire.dll - 2nd Dec 2004 16:13, 9,094,142 bytes


As you can see, the vampire.exe file is not changed at all by the patch. therefore the one in the no-cd crack is fine and should not need changing.

However the vampire.dll file *is* changed, and so even if the no-cd crack still works with v1.2, we need a new version of the crack making from the patched .dll file so that the updates are included. (otherwise by applying the crack you are essentially removing some of the fixes that the v1.2 patch has done)

Sure this will be done soon. It's making the crack in the first place that's the hard work that needs waiting for. As it's been done once, cracking the patched .dll should be pretty easy.

Hello!

Any word on when the NO-CD crack will be updated to go with the official 1.2 patch?

Cheers!

don't needed.. hoodlum crack still works fine for V1.2 :)

@OM3G4
Not exactly true! Read all of Reddraggons last post. ;)

from the readme of the patch:

· Fixed crash to desktop when the player returns to the boat after rescuing Johansen from the Society of Leopold.

with the hoodlum crack, and applied patch I still crash there
Does anybody know anything about, how to avoid this? I can't continue the game

@Huvarg
Firstly read all of 'Reddragon105' s post above then go here to read how to get past the boat crash! ;)

Works fine. Thx

As Grumpy said, the crack .dll file overwrites any changes made by the official patch. In addition to fixing the boat crash-to-desktop bug, there's some additional dialogue that I'd love to see (having Isaac acknowledge the completion of the Gargoyle quest, for example), and some other big fiixes.

The game is still playable (with the major workaround in the console for the Leopold bug, of course) without the patch, but it would be nifty to have both the convenience of the NO-CD crack and the latest patch!

Thanks to the amazing folks doing that work, by the way! :)

Cheers,
-M

indeed it would... c'mon hoodlum! we're still waiting for a v1.2 crack :(
surely it can't take this long... should be a simple job as they know what they're doing from the 1.0 crack

i compared the original dll with the cracked one in a hex editor but i cant figure out what has been done to crack it. anyone want to teach me how to crack dlls?

Anyone placing any bets it'll probably be cracked just as a 1.3 update comes out? :(

@meorime
Thanks for the credit but it was actually Reddraggon105 who supplied the dll info! I just reminded people to read his post properly. ;)

I have a problem
 

I installed the game, but when starting up, I get an engine error: Failed to lock vertex bugger ...

Anyone know what this is or how to help me?

That would be great thx in advance

problem with the crack
 

i put the crack into the game folder along with the dll file but when i run the game my monitor blacks out and gives me an "an out of range" message. i can hear the game music in the background though as it loads up, just cant see anything cause of the monitor problem. anyone have any ideas.

Go to the Run box under after clicking the Start button on Windows. Type dxdiag.exe and when it comes up, go to More Help and click Override. When that pops up, type in a refresh rate your monitor can handle (like 60) and lock that in.

The out of range thing happens because the game tries to jump to some ****tastic refresh rate. The above will fix that.

alright where can download this game at??

After that request you'll probably have lots of time to search.....

i've made a .dll file from the patched v1.2 vampire.dll that allows me to play the game without a CD.

however i'm not sure if this file incorporates all of the patch fixes.
so can someone help me test it?

im looking for someone who has had an issue with Bloodlines that has been fixed with the v1.2 patch - ie. you have to have had a problem with v1.0 and the v1.0 crack, the problem was fixed by the v1.2 patch (but obviously you need to run from the disks), and after applying the v1.0 no cd crack again the problem returns.

so i need you to install the game, patch to v1.2, apply the no-cd crack using the .exe from the v1.0 hoodlum release, and the .dll provided by me, then try the game to ensure it works properly, and the problem is fixed.

the .dll is 8.67mb, and even when rared its 3.99mb, so too big to attach to this post. but if you PM me we can arrange a method of transfer, MSN would be good because then we can discuss the results.

looking forward to testing this file, hope i can provide a v1.2 no-cd solution

Ill Give Your dll. A Go. whats your MSN name?

sorry for the false hope, but i tested it further myself this morning, and it keeps crashing to desktop so it obviously doesn't work.
im going to leave this to someone who knows better what they're doing

hmm.. i just installed bloodlines and added the hoodlum no-cd files to their directorys, but when i run the game itself, my computer loses sound and can no longer play any sound file until i reboot my comp, i get an error stating my sound card no longer works or is in use. is it just an incompatibility between the game and asus's c-media or is it a problem in the crack?

eh nm my post, my first guess was correct. got it all working.
