It is widely considered the only proper way to play the game. The project was first started in December by Dan Upright and soon taken over by Werner Spahl, better known by his nickname Wesp5.
Originally merely meant to fix obvious errors, some of which were soon after addressed by the official Patch 1. In more recent versions the patch is distributed in form of a configurable installer which allows deactivating certain features more about that in the Plus Patch section further below.
And unlike early versions, which simply overwrote the original game data, it now uses a structure inspired by mods for other Source Engine games, which keeps the base game intact and allows to parallelly use other mods, which may be incompatible with the Unofficial Patch, without having to maintain a separate Bloodlines installation for each one.
As the original game's release was heavily rushed and Troika Games , the studio that created Bloodlines, was shut down by Activision almost the moment the game was released, the official technical support was extremely brief, with only a single official patch having been released.
As a result, the game was left in a comparably bad state, with many bugs left in the game and many of them being potentially game-breaking. With the lack of long-running official technical support the Unofficial Patch quickly established itself as a de facto standard in the Bloodlines community.
As the patch grew over the years more and more changes and additions were made to the game which are widely considered controversial, particularly by players only interested in fixes to problems still present in the final official version of the game. This even lead to an alternate series of patches known as the True Patch. To counter this the Unofficial Patch was eventually divided into two separate versions, a "basic" version and a "plus" version, the latter of which contains major additions to the game which arguably do not represent the creative vision of the game's original developers.
At this point the patch is distributed in form of a configurable installer and the desired version can be selected during the installation process. Having been in development for more than ten years the patch covers massive amounts of changes which can't all be summarized in a comprehensible list but a brief rundown of the nature of the changes is listed below changes exclusive to the plus patch are marked with a plus sign :.
As a long-running project the Unofficial Patch has several places where it is officially distributed and the project itself represented:. Bloodlines 1. Added Mod Launcher tool to easily select mods, thanks to Psycho-A. Gave knive to Bishop Vick and made Jezebel.

Still, I increased it higher depends on monitor. Can you please test if 65 works better for you than 60? Then I will set it to that in the next update. Capping at will mess physics and HUD in the game up It worked before so I'm not sure what changed Your comment will be anonymous unless you join the community. Or sign in with your social account:. Honestly, there isn't much that can be said that can give this impressive amount of hard work enough credit.
The dedication put in by all of the people working on this patch is incredible, and I truly appreciate all that is done with every single update.
Wesp5 and the VTMB unofficial patch crew, thank you. Honestly, the only reason I continue to play this game is to see just what you folks put in or restore next. I have never been disappointed. Keep up the good work! To give more of an explanation…. Role Playing. Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines.
