Vampire Mascarade Bloodline Is black screen and funky
Hello All
Iam haveing a bit of a different problem then everyone else seems to be. I can mount the image just fine and the game loads but it loads to everything but a small section in the middle black and flickering like when a tv channel keeps rolling over. Ive got the latest nvidia driver and latest version of deamon tools and iam stuck it will not work. Any ideas.

theres likely to be a list of supported graphs cards in the manual or on a readme file in the directory, check that out, ultimatly contact tech support.

In other words, even though this is the source engine that is used in a less efficient way than half-life, they still want people to buy the game without worrying about how crappy their current card is. Marketing. This has nothing to do with your problem, just me venting out frustration with marketing dudes. Joyboy: shouldnt there be a rule for the General gaming forum that says something about Tech Support Questions?

refresh rate is not the only problem
refresh rate is not the only problem with vampire: bloodlines, eventually, if you have an old nvidia card or any of the mx versions you have to disable fastwrites. the funky screen happened to me also with "sherlock holmes: the case of the silver earring" - this solves it. i read some info about the games, so i figured out that "SH: Silver blab bla" i set to default at 100 hz refresh rate, which can be changed from some config file, i think. still haven't figured it out for vampire: bloodlines. hope that helps.

hi there guys, me new in this forum site (btw: i'm chilean so sorry bout' my rusty english) well i have the same problem (at the first time i wasn't even able to actually "load" the game, once i've uninstalled CLONECD and mount tne lil' GCW images it worked fine) after all the dumb movies and just when i get to the menu, the screen goes black and the only thing i see is the red "thingy" (like blood effects?) as a "GAME MENU" either i try clicking on some of them still got the black screen (did i mentioned that i hear the menu music? ;B) well i read this thread and it said: "change refresh rate under Direct X)" and other one said: "not only refresh rate... set as default 100Hz... alos the SH:Silver blablabla..." well i don't know THAT DEEP videocard knowledge, so if someone is kind and gentle could you (any of u) explain, very detailed (plz) how can i change the refresh rate and what refresh rate is? (BTW: my monitor is a bit old tis a samsung syncmaster 550v so the max refresh rate i could get to is 60Hz), well looking forward for your answer...
sinceresly, gUzzAh. PS: Thanks for any help, =), and again please sorry because of my english...cya
