Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines - Hoodlum Crack

[meorime]

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 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

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.

You must unlock your vertex bugger before to run the game. If it's already locked, the game cannot lock it. Under Windows XP, vertex buggers must always stay unlocked.

Bonjour chez vous,

Hello
Can anyone tell me please from where can i download a crack for Vampire the bloodline? I have a problem with that game: when I try to play the game (cd 1 inserted in cd-rom) I receive the message (after aprox. 1 minute) to eject and reinsert the cd-1. I think that is a crack problem...
Thank you

[reddragon105]

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.

[Harrow]

can someone help me? i did a new 1.10 install and added the hoodlum crack and the game starts up fine, but when i start a new game it shuts down and the crash log says

vampire caused an Access Violation (0xc0000005)
in module engine.dll at 001b:200f5967.

Read from location 00000000 caused an access violation.

anyone know what the deal is?

maybe you need to read my post again
