Vampire Mascarade Bloodline Is black screen and funky

[neckfreak]

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

Maybe you should just use your original discs to play until a proper NoCD.exe is released! That's if one ever does come out!
