Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines

[bierhuettl]

isnt anyone listening to me? clonecd is the reason. i got only alcohol installed, no daemon no ccd. i created an image with safedisc 2/3 profile, works perfectly. no problem here?!

i think bierhuettls right. i kept getting the emulation detected error message (even with original game disks), then i uninstalled clonecd and the game works fine.

then i tried the 2 files from gamecopyworld, they both worked for me. tried reinstalling clonecd and now nothing works again (either the originals, or using either of the little images)

im mounting those files using daemon tools, so it seems vampire has no problem with that program. i dont have alcohol at all, so cant vouch for that

Ok i'm new to this site, so i don't exactly know what i'm doing. I was able to mount the first CD onto Daemon but when it asks for the second disc to be insterted i'm not able to mount the second discs image, and i'm fairly sure i'll have the same problem with the third disc. Can anyone give me a detailed explanation as to how you were able to get this game to run?

i can do what i want. I've deinstall all the emu progs, inc. daemontools and reboot. So i reinstalled daemontools but the same again. Please close alle emu bla bla. I already checked the 2 files from gcw. But the same. So how can the 2 files ( iso's ) from gcw work, wen the applications says, that i must shut down the emu progs !?¿?
A simple no-cd crk would help

I was able to get it to work! Heres what i did...hopefully it's easy to follow

Download Torrent > Install Daemon Tools > Enable Safedisc option > WinRAR Disc 1, 2 and 3 > Open My computer > Left Click Drive that has "Mount" option ( Mine was I: ) > Mount Image > Open > Mount CD 1 .cue > Mount CD2 .cue > Mount CD3 .cue > Game Install Complete > Play!

I didn't even have to use the files from GCW, once the game was down loading i just clicked play and it worked! Hopefully this'll help others out also.

Booooo

I've never had cloneCD installed < so that eliminates it as a possible conflict

I've uninstalled alcohol and only had deamon tools 3.47 running... installed and mounted cd1 with deamon tools. Game starts up, the startup images appears and goes off... then the monitor flicks (changes resolution) and a 'grey' or 'brown' screen appears for around 5seconds... then the monitor goes back to the desktop without any error message.

I've also tried with the latest version of alcohol, same thing happens. I've tried both the available image files from gamecopyworld, both do the same thing.

I've uninstalled, reinstalled all programs, tried all combinations suggested. Changing driver names etc etc... nothing works.

Hopefully a simple old fashioned no-cd crack appears soon

I was having the same problems as everyone else until I did this:

- I was running and older version of Daemon Tools after I installed the game. Never used CloneCD or Alcohol 120%.

- Game would tell me to insert CD1 if I tried to run it.

- Uninstalled Daemon & installed the newer 3.47 version.

- After rebooting, I mounted CD1 & now the game works. I would suggest uninstalling your CD Drive emulators & reinstalling them.

I was browsing this thread and noticed that everyone is talking around each other so I will try to make this simple:

The only solution given in this thread so far is to remove/uninstall one or more of the following programs: Clone CD, Daemon and Alcohol 120%, reboot, then run the game.

This "fix" will work for some, for others it will not. Meaning the game does not start up, even if they remove all of the mentioned programs.

From these posts it would also seem that it doesn't matter if you use the two files (so far) from GCW or not. It may or may not work. For some it works, for others it doesn't.

I don't know if anyone has the same as mine, what happened was - when I start the game to the "black screen" it just pop up a windows and said runt time error
