Like Activision's Vampire: The Masquerade: Redemption, Bloodlines is set in White Wolf, Inc.'s Vampire: The Masquerade universe, but it is not a sequel to the earlier game. The game allows the player to choose one of several different vampire clans and progress through the game according to the different strengths and weaknesses of the player's character, as in its paper and pencil role playing origins. Bloodlines is notable for being the first game along with Half-Life 2 to use Valve's Source engine, which allows the game to be played from either the first-person or third-person shooter perspective. There were many technical and playability bugs in the first version of Bloodlines, but none were judged to be serious enough to delay shipping the game. After Bloodlines was released to the public, Activision compiled a list of problems customers were reporting to its customer service department and on various Vampire websites. It then authorized Troika to spend a week creating a patch to address the most serious issues. However, Troika's inability to find revenue from another project had already forced the developer to lay off all its employees in two waves, except for the three owners: Jason Anderson, Leonard Boyarsky and Tim Cain. Despite this, several employees continued to work without pay on the Version 1.2 patch, which after three weeks was released on December 22, 2004. Unable to find additional work, Troika disestablished in February 2005,leaving behind an essentially unfinished game with numerous remaining bugs. Fans of Bloodlines continued to create and release unofficial patches to address this situation. This is a new Release of Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines. While the original release and many other releases did contain all the necessary files for a clean install of Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines, they were flawed by Vista installation problems, stability issues, initialization problems, and poor documentation. By converting the content to a DVD format with a single installer, providing an autopatching system (to unofficial version 6.0) and better documentation these issues have been resolved. Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines, is one of the best RPG's to come into existence and is a tribute to the unpaid work of its former developers at Troika. This release is intended to provide accessibility to those individuals who found difficulty in utilizing the Federation's original Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines releases. It is amazingly stable (M001 guarentees it), and has worked flawelessly through a complex battery of tests, including over twenty unique system installations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Miscellaneous Notes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please Note The Following: .I. The Federation takes no responsibility for any damage that may come to your computer through the trial of this game. This mod has been tested to work on Windows XP and Vista. No support or technical assistance will be provided. Ever. Creation of this release took many hours of unpaid labour. .II. The stability of the game only exists thanks to the tireless efforts of the Jason Anderson, Leonard Boyarsky and Tim Cain who in conjunction with the aforementioned unpaid Troika employees created the final official patch. None of the aforementioned individuals support or piracy. The Federation released their work without their permission. .III. The Unofficial Patch dissasembled and used in the Federation Autopatching system was made by Dan Upright and then continued by Werner "Wesp5" Spahl and members of the Planet Vampire community. Neither Dan Upright, Werner Spahl, or the Planet Vampire community support or condone piracy. The Federation released their work without their permission. .III. To all the Fans, Friends, Foes, Members and Affiliates, of the FEDERATION: ----------------------- |THANKS FOR EVERYTHING| ----------------------- Because of you we are "STILL UNDERGROUND" and "STILL ALIVE".

Love this game, thanks!

Hello All,
I have released the ultimate Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines torrent at the following URL. This is a new Release of Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines. While the original release and many other releases did contain all the necessary files for a clean installation of Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines, they were flawed by Vista installation problems, stability issues, initialization problems, and poor documentation. By converting the content to a DVD format with a single installer, providing an autopatching system (to unofficial version 6.0) and better documentation these issues have been resolved. If you have ever had a technical problem with Vampire the Masquerade this release exists solely to save you.

Meho Krljic (2009-04-30)

Yes, very nice release, thanks.

transitvan (2009-04-30)

I have the original game and i totally agree this has to be one of the best games ever!
This release is long awaited. I've had problems in vista, worked fine in xp, but as i don't have xp anymore i can't wait to play it.
Thanks ZKZ for the up.

Wintermist (2009-05-01)

Where'd seeder go?

Wintermist (2009-05-02)

Uploaded almost 40 GB now, and I still haven't got the full thing yet :( And to think I already own this hehe, so much for scratchy discs.

Vault_Boy (2009-05-02)

I am trying to figure out how to install this on Vista x64. If you install it into the program files (x86) folder the autopatcher will terminate. If you chose the regular program files folder (which is meant for x64 programs) this will only create a sort of link to the x86 folder and install everything there - ergo, the autopatcher fails again.

 ZKZ (2009-05-02)

Vault Boy,
I have an easy hotfix for you. Install the game as normal and then extract the AUTOPATCH.7Z archive in the autopatch directory to your chosen installation folder. After this everything should be cracked initialized and ready to go. Please write back regardless of whether this works for you.

Vault,
Sorry, I was unclear. When I said as normal, I meant to the Program Files (86) directory.

Vault_Boy (2009-05-03)

ZKZ,
thank you for the quick response. I thought of manually unpacking, too, but did not want to mess around with the different patch archives on my own. Your suggestion was helpful as was the upload of this great game - so far it seems to run flawlessly. Thanks again for both.

Megadeth89 (2009-05-30)

Hello, ZKZ. Hope you're having a nice day.
I wonder if you can help me out, I would highly appreciate it.
I have downloaded the torrent and first installed it on my laptop (Vista x32). I got the same error as I have with all other VtMB's I have downloaded.
The game goes as far as to the loading screen & crashes instantly, then gives me this :"Vampire.exe has stopped working" and only leaves me with the option of terminating the program.
I have tried running the game in Archaic, full screen,window..Always the same thing.
I set the laptop aside and installed it on an old desktop (Windows XP).. worked fine under archaic for a day or so but when I tried running the game again it only opened the window for less than a second and crashed, leaving no message at all.
I'm terribly sorry for the inconvenience, Any help would appreciated.

demitri_giovanni (2009-06-07)

okay, I downloaded the torrent and am currently seeding it, but I can't seem to install it correctly. It keeps telling me to insert disc 1. Can you help?

blood000 (2009-06-08)

I'm having the same problem as demitri_giovanni ...help?

blood000 (2009-06-08)

hey demitri_giovanni
i just found out how to fix this problem...
it seems it was a virus scanner blocking the file AUTORUNVAMPIRE.EXE so you got to put the file in exceptions so your virus scanner wont block it or scan it..and then run that file.. simple enough

demitri_giovanni (2009-06-09)

thanks for the help. I still can't get it working, but all I need is disc 1 since I bought the game years ago and am only missing the first disc. If anyone has just a copy of disc 1, it would be greatly appreciated.

demitri_giovanni (2009-06-10)

Got it working, works famously. Thanks to all and I will be seeding this.

sc113191 (2009-06-10)

Saadi (2009-06-16)

HannaBest (2009-06-17)

Thanks a lot, this game is sweet. Please continue to upload great games for us, though some people don't get IT, the one's that do are grateful.

eaglehc (2009-06-18)

I'm having the same problem as ipbomber, after using the hotfix for the autopatch.7z I get an error message about a script/manifest_sound file that is missing. Anyone know how to fix this?
Thx for the great uploads ZKZ, I hope I get this one working :)

ZKZ_is_awesome (2009-06-21)

Hey ZKZ!
I downloaded Synergy the HL2 Co-op game and I liked it allot so I wanted to start my own server but I couldn't find the "start dedicated server" executor so I searched it on google but no luck.
Since your so good at what you do is it possible for you to make some kind of addon for Synergy so that I (and everyone else) could create a online working dedicated server?

BadAct (2009-06-23)

Ive had a problem for ages, but never tryed to look into it.. When I install files in any c:\program I cant unpack files. It asks for administrator rights and I click yes.. After that it failes.. So instead of trying to solve that I just install games and stuff in my c:\??????\games
But now its a bit late, cant see myself reinstalling files.. So Im gon check and see what the fuck thats wrong with "my two accounts on same computer" Why do I always do this at late nights? And by the way, played the game while back. Loved it then. Feels as if the only rpg´s people talk about is the neverwinter, oblivion and shit like that.

Gigichan (2009-07-15)

Thank you a hundred of times, ZKZ! I realllly love this game. It's been sooooo damn long since the last time I've got a great game like this one to play.
Thanks again! ^^

Computer-Inept (2009-07-20)

Hey there I kind of dont know what im doing and need some help. Im running a windows 7 build x86 and im very unsure of what im doing Any bit of guidance would be greatly appreciated I love this game

Yaaziah (2009-07-21)

KZee, This games hot man, Appreciate it! One problem, after a big fight where i gain experience, the new experience gained deletes the exp. i been accumulating. Anybody else notice this? Any way to fix that there? Thanks

Sucks_With_Computers (2009-07-22)

I know I'm damn close but ive made a mistake down the line somewhere. I've installed the game, but then i get to the 2nd installation process to do the autorun and it acts like i havent installed it even though I have :/ At the point i have it the game wont run because i dont have disc one. But Im not sure if I understand mounting/burnin correctly this is a first for me. ive burned the Image? to a CD which im not completely sure if thats correct. Trying to run the autorun from winzip it tells me it cannot find the SETUP.exe or the GUI.exe I ran the setup to install the game im thinking i just to do the autorun now but I really need some guiadance here ahahah

IanToxic (2009-08-09)

Okay so I fucking love this game lol and it's amazing and I've played it before but I'm having an issue. I got it installed and all but everytime I try to run it I get an error message that says "Unable to init shader system". I doubt there's anything wrong with my computer since I've played it tons of times on it. How can I fix it???

tikkig0d (2009-08-10)

this tweaking guide worked for me

involves editing a cfg file and or editing the startline vtbm shortcut on desktop

tikkig0d (2009-08-10)

Yaaziah if you really want the xp back u can do the line GiftXp X (x being whatever u lost or want) in the console

kleziel (2009-10-10)

my problem is i can't actually save my game manually, it is only working with autosave feature. Can anyone help me with this mistake? Other than that its a great game thank you for seeding...

Kiyomi (2009-11-14)

can someone pls explain the correct and proper ways to install this game?

Kiyomi (2009-11-19)

I'm having a problem with this game.Everytime I play the program,it would crash.The crash data log stated this:
vampire caused an Access Violation (0xc0000005)
in module materialsystem.dll at 001b:012e6a1e.
Write to location 00000000 caused an access violation.
Can someone please explain what this means and if possible,a solution as well?

penix9000 (2009-11-20)

I'm having a problem. I'm on Windows 7 with a Geforce 210. DX11 and newest nvidia drivers. It runs fine for a while, then everything goes dead and I have to hard reboot. Anyone know anything about this?

clowndisease (2009-12-02)

Thanks so much! It installed and works great! Plays out awesome, like a movie.

Sidvs (2009-12-05)

Hey ZKZ,
I'm having a problem running the game. I mount the image, install VTM Bloodlines itself, then a patch install pop ups. I choose to install the AI patch and according to the NFO file the game should crack by itself. Well it doesn't, i try to run the game, and then 'wrong disc inserted' message pops up. I tried to write on the vampire.exe and vampire.dll files with the ones i found on the image, in the repatch folder, but i can't seem to do so, so Windows error pops up. I think it may be connected to the fact that the whole Program Files folder is Read Only, (green square in read only box in properties), but i can't turn it off. Please help, i wan't to play this game so much!

s3iryu (2009-12-11)

please people, seed...im running 5kb/s! Share this great game!

Killjoy32 (2009-12-18)

plz seed

DocEvil (2009-12-29)

Hey, this works great! The game is pretty interesting and is pretty damn similar, in some aspects, to the table top game.

zxkb4s29 (2010-02-27)

does NOT work.

Logrin (2010-06-08)

I downloaded and it all looks to have been done correctly, but when I attempt to run I get the error " please log on with administrator privileges and try again " any idea how to fix this? I'm the administrator on the computer, and have even dug up the invisible admin account that comes with the computer to try. This problem is maddening when I am so close to playing it.

aixerihp (2010-06-10)

i downloaded this before and it worked, now i install it and it only shows one desktop icon and when i click said icon, it shows me "insert disk 1" why is this?

MJTS (2010-07-04)

ZKZ,
I was able to download, install, and patch just fine. However, when I attempt to play, it tells me: "Please insert VTM Bloodlines Disk 1, select OK and restart application". I even tried a no-cd crack...no love. Is there any fix for this?

MJTS (2010-07-04)

ok...so I re-read, found that I have to use one of the shorcuts on the desktop. after clicking on any of them, it acts like it is going to launch, then I get:
Engine Error
Unable to load manifest file 'scripts/game_sounds_manifest.txt'
now what????

snapfishies (2010-08-11)

works great thx

BritKyu (2010-08-21)

I'm having a bit of a problem, I run everything as it says, but the steps take me to a screen that asks me if I want to Uninstall Vampire - The Masquerade Bloodlines, anyone have a solution?

Nutranail (2010-08-22)

Can someone give me step-by-step instructions on how to install and play the game on Windows Vista 64-bit?
I try doing the Vault Boy thing but WinRar and 7zip tell me to go fuck my self and say they can extract almost all of the files, saying "Cannot be opened" on each one.

OfficialKnightKenMov (2010-10-03)

Could someone tell me if there is a difference between Ultimate and original ?
Can't find information about that.

piratenumber11 (2010-10-07)

Hello,
I've seen people having the same problem as me... - installing the game, then message about inserting disc 1 popping out... The only resolution someone proposed here is that security systems are blocking the autorun - but I checked and it is not the problem. I am using daemon, but then the autoinstall just pops in (even though I have the game installed already). And I still have WinXP... because I just like it - and I had the original game on it before so I know it works on XP. Still, any suggestions, please???

piratenumber11 (2010-10-07)

@OfficialKnightKenMov
You can find it here in about 3 places... all you need to do is look. One is right bellow the cute letter image... one is in the first comment by the author....

piratenumber11 (2010-10-07)

My problem solved by a no cd crack - might help those who have a similar one. ;) I'm so glad I am a female computer-game lover.

bobafett169 (2010-10-13)

I purchased this game via download and when I replaced my hard-drive and tried to reinstall, their stupid "verification" script would never complete. Thanks for the upload, worked great for me.

Xoriat (2010-10-23)

Does this torrent have all the patches? There was the official and unofficial patches that included the missing content.

nonoman190 (2010-10-25)

I accidentally deleted the two other shortcuts for window and archaic. could anyone tell me how to recover them?

PirateManson (2010-11-11)

Insert Disc 1? Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

bboycircus (2010-11-15)

Okay I do what Vault did but I still get the message saying I need to install it into a different directory and then the patcher terminates. Any suggestions?

Qualanqui (2010-12-05)

First off thanks to ZKZ for a awesome torrent secondly man i hate win 7, finally after a whole lot of blood sweat and swears i got this thing going so I though I would post my method to help anyone else burdened with win 7
Right I unpacked the .rar then I ran the setup (not the one it tells u to here cos it dont work) then I unpacked the autopatch rar file by running as administrator winrar into the game directory then i cut the whole lot moved it into program files sent the vampire.exe to the desktop and set it to run as administrator and voille i was in the money i hope this helps someone

RedSaint (2010-12-07)

Just read a review on Reddit, and I remembered that I didn't really get to play this when it came out as my computer sucked, but I think I might be able to run it pretty well by now. Might be one of the last immersive games I get to play in a while too :(
But thank you so much for going through the trouble of getting a working installation out to the public. +1 and big up.

Colleen_Private (2010-12-18)

does not work and any 64bit system

jameslevington (2010-12-23)

Hello !! I'm Sorry for the very bad english but I need your help : The installation is in French, fortunatelly for me. But when I do all that ZKZ asks to do (install the game, patch it, etc), the game becomes in English and I deduce that is the patch action. Is there a solution for me to keep the game in French and to use it normally, in my language. Thanks for all, pirates, you're really important for my Geek week ends. ^^

Joeri1987 (2010-12-27)

@Qualanqui Thanks for sharing that, I had the same problem with Windows and this fixed it. And of course thanks for uploading this game ZKZ!

MrDice42 (2011-01-26)

Just turn off UAC in win 7 and it'll work just fine with the patching

The other 3 disc torrent worked like a charm... installed, on win 7 x64, patched to unofficial 7.3, kept disk 1 mounted w/ alcohol, and it fired right up. had to alt-tab out at first cause the videos didnt play, went back in and everything was primo. even added in camarilla mod 1.4, no problems. res patch, working.

quaderquader (2011-03-02)

got problems with other versions of the game - mostly quest related bugs, that made the game unfinishable. Anyone who completed the game? would really love to play it afain

thetoxifier (2011-03-03)

I am experiencing a problem!!! Please help!!
I am using Samsung LCD-TFT screen and nVidia 8600 512 MB gfx card, Windows XP 32-bit
The problem is that, when I run the game, the screen starts to show "NOT OPTIMUM MODE 1366x768 60Hz"
Though the resolution of my Windows is fine...and I am unable to close the game anyhow, and I have to force restart the PC!!!
When I am unable to see a single thing, how can I change the resolution of the game????
How to fix this problem???
PLEASE HELP!!!!

DawnonShiva (2011-03-23)

Mkay I installed the game and did like everything i could possibly think of but it still asks for Disc 1... what do I have to mount to where? I tried to instal the unofficial patch but even that one asks for a harddisk 1 ? or something ? I'm totally confused I could really use some help because I love this game and can't buy it anywhere anymore :( Thnx for the help !

Whoazer (2011-03-26)

I seriously for the life of me get this to work on win 7 64 bit. I try to install to the default c\program files\activision\vampire - bloodlines directly but no matter what i do when the autopatcher run it always tells me that i need to install to the desired default folder and exits.

Gradothr7 (2011-04-21)

@thetoxifier
I was having the same issue, and with a little digging I got what I needed. There doesn't seem to be an easily accessed config file for this, so it'll take a bit of registry diving. (Usual cautions, back up your registry first, etc)
1) Click Start button > Run.
2) At the prompt type: REGEDIT. The registry editor will open.
3) Navigate the tree menu to
4) On the right side right-click on ScreenWindowed and select modify
5) Type in the number 1 and click OK
Once you do that, the game should run in a window, letting you reach the display settings normally. It only natively supports 4 resolutions though, so windowed may be the prettiest answer without mods.

TorqueStomp (2011-04-25)

@ZKZ or anyone else helpful
I can't use any keys.. I've tried what I believe to be everything. Wherever a Key of some kind is required, it just wont let me open the door. I have the correct key in my inventory (impossible to mistake) and i tried opening inventory and clicking USE I've tried just hitting E at the lock, I don't know what else to do, really. It's not just a specific key either. No keys work. I've had to pick all the locks up until after the Surf's Up quest, now i NEED to use one for the Hunting the Hunter quest.

TorqueStomp (2011-04-27)

I just reinstalled. Must have just missed a few files somewhere along the way.. >.>

EternalxSamurai (2011-05-03)

I seriously need to know what to do when i get 'insert disk 1', i'll seed!

lordpain66 (2011-05-10)

works great

sjeafer (2011-06-10)

i fixed the problem for the autopatcher for x64 w7, install folders will mainly be named program files (x86), change the destination of the install from program files (x86) to program files, it worked for me

sjeafer (2011-06-10)

if the method of C:/program files/... doesnt work, go to the image, find the AUTOPATCH folder, open the .7Z file with winrar or 7zip, copy all the content to your map of Vampire - bloodlines, say Yes to all when asking to overwrite files, it will work to, playing the other method i posted didnt work for my windows vista x64, so had to try this one, still works fine, enjoy playing and if this helps you play the game, give + for ZKZ for posting the game

himynameiswill (2011-06-16)

I can't really figure this out. I've mounted the ISO, and its 'installed' but when I check the installation folder, there's nothing in it :S
Am I missing something somewhere? Everything on the disc is different to anything I've seen before. Anyone able to gimme a quick run down for what I may be doing wrong or how to ensure it installs properly?

himynameiswill (2011-06-16)

Ahhh never mind. Its the same issue as the Vista one. Need to run the AUTOPATCHER file. Thanks for the game!

Erick345 (2011-06-28)

Dudes, just install the new patch instead of the old 6.1 Unofficilal in the CD. The 6.1 is way outdated and there is a new and better one, the 7.5. Here I'll even give you the link since some of you are lazy to look for it. . It also includes past patches, the official, and some Mods if you people are willing to use some.

Lord_Thunderwing (2011-07-09)

Since it contains Wesp5's [b]MOD[/b] (yes, it's a [b]MOD[/b] and not a [b]PATCH[/b]: No, thank you!

Daman246 (2011-07-31)

Here are the Instruction To a full Installation 100% Working
1- Mount Iso/Image to Daemon Tools Or Power Iso
2 Install
3- Dont install Auto Patch when it pops Up
4th Download unofficial patch
5-Open activision Folder with Vampire
6- open up autopatch dont run it replace the files inside with the current files on activision file only the bin and Root of the folder should be replace with the files in the auto patch Dont swap the vampire folder on auto patch into the one in activision folder
7- install unofficial Patch
8- it should work perfectly

marcmicy (2011-08-10)

no complain ...just seeeeeed people!

Necrocat (2011-08-15)

Ok, the Federation patch does not install, but i solved the problem with a nocd from Gamecopyworld. I scanned with Avira antivirus and this torrent is clean. I am using Windows Xp service pack 3. I really do not understand why I cannot patch the game. Otherwise, it is playable.Thanks, I am from Brazil.

pirate_kyle (2011-08-21)

This torrents d/l speed is irratating, one second im on 3 mb DL then it drops to less then 300kbs...

filipfg (2011-08-26)

works great on win7 x64, just follow instruction.
And dont put game in Program Files(x86).

i-want-pc (2011-08-30)

I installed the game on XP and applied the 7.5 unofficial patch. It isn't working on fullscreen. I tried grawr's method and it worked in the window. Still, is there any way to make the game work on fullscreen?

orange7 (2011-09-02)

For People who can't get the game to update, or get the error to insert a disk, follow these steps:
1.Install game, doesn't matter what folder or what drive.
2.Navigate to the iso file ( which you either burned, mounted or unrared)
3.Find the folder "AUTOPATCH"
4. Inside will be a rar file, unrar it to you're desktop (Create a new folder and unrar it to there)
5. Navigate to you're install directory for this game, and copy and paste all the files that you have just unrared
6. PROFIT! :D Enjoy the game
Thanks uploader!
Will seed!

EvyDeath (2011-09-08)

not fair =( i re-installed the game 4 times and it just says Insert disc 1 ..... what shall i do guys someone plz help

spicpuika (2011-09-23)

thanks,it worked,its just my stupid monitor,its says not optimum mode,optimum mode 1280x1024.i alredy have set that resolution but he still shows that its not set.

bobalazs (2011-09-27)

One of the coolest games ever. Too bad the production guys are out of business.

Bunandza (2011-10-04)

For people having a problem on Win 7x64 after applying the no CD crack (game crash after intro videos show) - I copied (COPIED not MOVED - I don't know how moving will affect functionality) all the files from both BIN folders (C:\Program Files (x86)\Activision\Vampire - Bloodlines\Bin) and (C:\Program Files (x86)\Activision\Vampire - Bloodlines\Vampire\Bin) to the folder containing vampire.exe (C:\Program Files (x86)\Activision\Vampire - Bloodlines) and it works just fine.
I'm not running the game in compatibility for XP or as an admin. I am using the unofficial patch version 7.7 and I have disabled visual themes and desktop composition.
I've had one freeze after hours of play, but that was after lingering on the character creation screen for too long. No problems in gameplay.

breezzy (2011-10-11)

Does anyone have a problem with it crashing after you escape the Hunter's caverns? This is an awesome game and I would really love to finish it.

Bunandza (2011-10-12)

breezzy - all of my crashes have happened randomly (as well as glitches and broken mechanisms) and usually take a program reboot to set right.
If it persists, you might need to install the latest unofficial patch and restart your game. I can't help too much as I've always had UP 7.7 installed. I think the site that keeps track of the unofficial patches has a forum if nothing else works.

voraxith (2011-10-12)

This is perhaps the best PC game ever made, and I worship at the altar of the developers. Thank you so much to ZKZ for providing such a wonderful torrent!!!
For those of you who have played the game for a while and are wondering what the replayability factor is, I eagerly direct you here: http://camarillaedition.darkbb.com/ for all your happy little modding needs. Quite the fan community has sprouted up to support this little gem, and Team camarilla International has done an excellent job of not only creating fantastic mods and giving superb user-friendly support, but also directing the community to other great mods and patches.
I also suggest Wesp5's unofficial 7.7 patch found here:
Please continue to enjoy this game and keep it alive!!! And wait with bated breath for CCP's World of Darkness MMO supposed to be realesed in 2012/13...

fluffstuff (2011-10-26)

sigh.....
Right, so i have Windows 7 and this is not working for me....
When i do it the way it said in the instructions the thing doesn't even start, it just gives me this "failed to load the launcher dll..." thing and I've got no clue why.
Appearently the method on page 3 by Qualanqui worked for some people but due to my supreme noobness I can't for the life of me comprehend the methods he described.....
So if anyone would be kind enough to put that comment into noob terms for me it would be much appreciated.

JustRei (2011-10-31)

@orange7 thank you!!!! holy fucking shit! thanks!

PopcornCow (2011-11-04)

I got it working and it's an awesome game, just one problem though. When I'm done playing and close it, all my saves just vanish so when I come back later they are all gone and I have to start over.
Any hints as to what might be the problem?

darkBasic (2011-11-05)

Ok guys, this is my first time posting on TPB but im a long time seeder!! For all those having problems getting this game to run using Windows 7 64bit, Follow these instructions and it may help:
Load iso image into your virtual drive, i use magicDisc;
Run setup.exe when it pops up to install the game directly to your programfiles(x86) folder. After the install you will be prompted to install the gamefederation patch, i did not install this, just click cancel;
once this is complete go to this link to download the unofffical 7.8 patch, i use Norton and its 100% clean:

once that is done install it to your VTM directory;
Then open your virtual drive and choose browse cd and look for the autopatch folder, open using winrar and extract to your VTM directory folder;
Lastly go to your directory, and run the Vampire.exe that will now be inside the directory folder...
Hopefully that will resolve some people issues, i searched and tried almost every single method posted on here and had zero results...I tried it one last time and using this final method i just got it to work...Im off to play now, wish me luck :)

skryth (2011-11-06)

Having same problem as PopcornCow. All of my saves seem to be deleted when I exit the game.

jericho_cane (2011-12-01)

Yeah, this torrent is highly flawed. I'm glad it works for some of you but there are way too many problems being reported; as for my own experience I've installed it three separate times, following the instructions to the letter, yet whenever I'd try to launch the game it would immediately crash to the desktop. Bollocks.
Looks like I'll have to pony up the cash for a used copy after all!

andrefgm (2011-12-18)

Hey guys, i was having some issues to play this game and i found how to fix it..
first im running the game on the win 7 x64, but i have a D:, so i have installed the game on it. everything was okay but when i started to play, in the intro video, the girl in the bed have no textures, only pinks and black squares over all of her body.. okay.. than when the guy woke up, he was with the malkavian textures and my clan was toreador..
and when the game started, i was stucked in the tutorial, when jack asked to enter through the door, the door wasnt open, then I stay stucked..
after a loooong search, I discover that all this issues only occurred because the Python 2.2 that was installed on my computer.. some people says to update python, I just deleted it and voilà, everything is working great!
:)
this may help some people..
ps:sorry about the english

sasuke0sarutobi (2012-01-11)

why do i need game disk 2?

opaleg (2012-01-12)

This torrent is not flawed. It works fine. The problems likely stem from minor unique situations or using an OS after Windows XP. Don't call it flawed if it simply doesn't work for you.

rawrmoar (2012-02-03)

I can't for the life of me get this to work. I've torrented it, I extracted it, I mounted it, I installed it, I allowed it through my firewall, but it keeps telling me that I need disk one. Ontop of that it won't let me do the federation Patch. [ERROR]: You must install blah blah blah to the default directory on your desired drive, which I did. I'm heavily confused with that and how to patch it with this 7.9 unofficial. Maybe someone who knows what their doing should make a quick video, or maybe I'm just a total knob. Any help here?

RtKGamez (2012-02-08)

I seed until i beat the games i torrent.

ok_atoms (2012-02-14)

I installed this and it run fine, but when i save a game and exit. The next time i run it, the save games are gone? I need help. anyone.. i'm using windows 32 bit system btw.

himynamis (2012-02-20)

I did what @orange7 said but it said "Unable to set mode" What does this mean? what should I do?

ok_atoms (2012-02-20)

Im using Windows 7 32 bit

silversilouhette (2012-03-20)

This torrent was such a headache. It took literally hours just to get the stupid thing installed and to not get that annoying "Disc 1" message, and when I finally got it straightened out so the game would actually play... none of the characters are speaking during the intro, won't even show the stupid subtitles. I even tried installing the latest patch and running the game in every compatibility mode that I could. This game simply does not work. Very disappointing. Anyone else had issues with the cinematics?

smokey8888 (2012-03-28)

i can't even get the game to install. it keeps telling me to install in a default directory and shuts down but never gives me an option to do so. i feel like an idiot and that im missing something obvious. i am pushing 5am though. someone tell me whats up i wanna play this!

smokey8888 (2012-03-28)

fuck this game i've tryed 2 torrents and neither of em work. second one tells me i need to have the following operating systems then cancels install. i run an 64b xp. this one says the same but continues on then cancels and says i need to install in a default directory. fuck this shit im tired.

druhklam_orbowetsch (2012-03-30)

Many thanks, hope it will work for me! Cheers...

YannyX (2012-04-07)

Too many people having too many problems. I ignored it thinking they didn't know what they were doing, and unfortunately all the comments are true. Try another torrent. This one only works if you're lucky.

jericho_cane (2012-05-05)

opaleg, I'm delighted to hear you got the program running on your computer. Would you mind sharing your system specs?

urieaal (2012-05-08)

game installs fine but haven't even try'd to run it yet considering that with out any patchs the game is to buggy to play.
having trouble patching the game, and yes i installed it to the default dir as per the instructions but the patcher wont patch the game...

AlfinAndy (2012-05-18)

i need help guys...every time im doubleclick the shortcut it always ask me to insert cd 1...but the iso still in my cd rom help? :(

goldzilla (2012-05-19)

If you are having trouble with the patcher or it tells you to insert the game disk:
1. Mount and explore the .ISO
2. Open the "AUTOPATCH" folder and then the "AUTOPATCH" archive/zip.
3. copy and replace it's contents to the "Vampire - Blodlines" folder from the game install.
4. Run game.

0rochimaru (2012-05-19)

Works fine with Win7.
And, as the above comment states, don't patch via the installer. Do it by extracting the AUTOPATCH .rar located on the iso and just copy-paste it over the contents of the game's directory.

voraxith (2012-05-30)

I've been running the game from this torrent on Windows 7 (x86) for well over 9 months, and I've yet to have a single issue with it. And I play a lot of different mods and patches, too (I've had as many as five copies installed on my system at once). Now, I am an idiot. I am not smart; I do not have super tech-savvy computer skills; I am not a programmer/hacker/whatever you wanna call it, I'm not it. On top of that, I am one of the unluckiest SOB's on the planet. All that, and I get this to work with no problems every single time. So either I'm just ridiculously and insanely lucky in this one particular regard, or else you're all doing it wrong.

jericho_cane (2012-06-03)

Finally got it working (thanks, goldzilla); everything's running smoothly except for some minor audio glitches. I take back everything negative I said earlier.

SnowLVL100 (2012-06-06)

Deathclocker (2012-06-17)

Hello guys. I have a problem with the Leopold Society. Once I defeat Bach and the cave collapses I run to the boat. And when I am there the next location loads and then the game crashes. I'm really pissed. Can anybody help?

iammonroe (2012-06-27)

I finally found out how to make this game work!
just replace the BinkW32.dll then place it in the Bin folder, after that, copy paste it on Vampires-Bloodlines directory (outside Bin folder)
it finally worked for me! :bd

I cant install the patch because its also giving me a shitty error message about not being in the right directory
I have tried MANY no cd cracks including hoodlum which at least let me acess the main menu
finally I have temporarily disabled my antivirus while installing and when I tried to play so the antivirus doesnt fick shit up
I dont know what to do please help I really want this game and have spent WEEKS nonstop trying to get it and this torrent is the only thing that even comes close please someone help me I WANNA PLAY THIS GAME!!!

sorry for double posting I accidentally thought it didnt send
how do I delete the double post?
god Im such a noob :(

Taanys (2012-07-12)

Dude, as it was said before, it's easy. Install the game normally by mounting the iso on daemon tools. At the end of the installation, after DirectX, it'll ask you if you wana patch. Say whatever, it'll crash because you're using windows 64.
Then just open the autopatch folder in the virtual dvd drive, extract the archive somewhere, and copy past and replace where you installe the game.
It will then work, although I'd advise getting the last unofficial patch and patching the game afterwards, to get the wide screen resolution also.
But all in all, very good release, just discovered this game and finished it in 3 days, it is one of the best rpg ever made.

deadzo (2012-07-17)

hey i got a problem
I have installed it and so on and i got some error stuff with patches but i fix it as @goldzilla said and now I got a new problem
it is almost starts but then it comes
¨Engine Error
unable to load manifest file `scripts/game_sounds_manifest.txt` `
what do to? plz help

Angels_Shadow (2012-07-20)

Not sure if anyone else had this problem, but just in case I'll post a solution.
When I downloaded the file it didn't save as a .iso file, it was just a "file" so in order to fix this, rename the file to "filename.iso" and then open with WinRAR and extract the files and it'll give you the ISO etc.
Just noticed that it was an issue for me and might be an issue for someone else.

dman591 (2012-08-08)

Im having a problem nobody else seems to have: When I run the Installer, it goes about halfway and then asks me to insert Disk 2. Am I doing something wrong??

black_jester (2012-08-09)

Same problem here DMAN, I use mount daemon tools, I've ran all the install files in the ISO and every one gets half way there and then wants the second disk. I read all the other comments and no one else seems to be having a second disk prompt when they install. Any ideas?

dman591 (2012-08-09)

Got it to work. I had to download the other torrent which includes all 3 CDs, so when the installer asks for CD2 and CD3 I just mount them and it works fine. Strange though.

black_jester (2012-08-09)

Well, if that works I'll be happy...Another 22 hr torrent on the way. Yay. >.>

Stormbow (2012-08-09)

This is definitely one of the worst cracked games I've ever seen, and I've seen a LOT of games.
NOTE TO WINDOWS 7 (64 bit) USERS:
The game will attempt to install itself into the "Program Files (x86)" directory. DO NOT allow it. Delete the " (x86)" part when it's installing.
After the installation is complete, there will be EMPTY directories for the game located in "Program Files/Activision/" etc and there will be FULL directories located in "Program Files (x86)/Activision/" etc. (Yes, even though you told it to put the junk in "Program Files".)
COPY the ACTIVISION folder from "Program Files (x86)" to "Program Files" and overwrite everything when asked.
Next, nagivate to the "Autopatch" folder on the .iso that you have mounted. Open "AUTOPATCH.7Z" with Winrar (preferred) or whichever zip utility you can get to open the .7z filetype. Extract ALL of the files and folders you see in there to the "C:Program FilesActivisionVampire - Bloodlines" directory, overwrite everything if asked.
The game should finally work properly for you. (It is now working for me.)

Stormbow (2012-08-09)

CORRECTION (file path changed, see below):
Next, nagivate to the "Autopatch" folder on the .iso that you have mounted. Open "AUTOPATCH.7Z" with Winrar (preferred) or whichever zip utility you can get to open the .7z filetype. Extract ALL of the files and folders you see in there to the "C:Program Files/Activision/Vampire - Bloodlines" directory, overwrite everything if asked.

Stormbow (2012-08-09)

This game supports VERY few resolutions, and I did not see an option for windowed mode.

Stormbow (2012-08-09)

The Resolution Patcher located at:

will work fine with this game. Download, put the file in the "C:Program FilesActivisionVampire - BloodlinesBin" folder and run it. Set the resolutions to whichever fit your monitor best.

tweekman (2012-08-13)

Was a pain to get to work, i installed the game into the programs (86) then i Open the "AUTOPATCH" folder and then the "AUTOPATCH" archive/zip.
3. copy and replace it's contents to the "Vampire - Blodlines" folder from the game install. after all this when i tried to play it it would bing then go to the title screen i'd choose start new game then bing again and crash. to fix this prob just go get the unofficial patch(googles easily) install it and then it should work if you had the prob i described.

tweekman (2012-08-13)

forgot to add the bing i heard was it not wanting to play game without cd the unofficial patch takes care of no cd fix and adds alot more content than the 1.2 official patch. the one your looking for is 8.2 beta patch and its 220mb.

MajorGio (2012-08-21)

stavor665 (2012-09-11)

One of best games ever created. Works great, currently installing patch 8.2 to it.

iFCapnC (2012-09-13)

Does the unofficial patch 8.2 take care of the no-cd crack? If not where is just the crack in the game folders? This bastards been a huge headache and I've tried all the help in the comments, nothing works.

sionis336 (2012-10-01)

Thank you ZKZ for this amazing upload, which has introduced me to my favorite PC game ever.
For those who are having trouble, I understand since it took a lot of reading through the comments to install it properly. The original instructions did not work for me. Before I say how I would like to point out 2 things; 1) for those who don't know, this game has it's fair share of bugs, even with the unofficial patch. Getting your character stuck in the middle of the wall, frozen screen (fortunately for me it always takes about a minute to get back to normal), etc.. So if you're a person who gets angry over these matters, no matter how good the story/gameplay/characters/etc. is, you'll be displeased with this game. If you can accept that, if you enjoy RPGs, and if you can accept the autosave basically every time you enter a new place (be it by taxi, mission, sewer, or building), you'll enjoy this game. I personally loved, but I'm a bit bias.
And 2) the instructions I used and am going to recite are mainly from Daman246's comment. Thank you for the help, your comment got me to fully install the game with no problems.
So here's how you install the game. Every detail, yes, every detail. Bare with me, if you explain things with full details there should be no need for follow up questions. I used this on a Vista PC, so for XP and Windows 7 users, take note if any minor changes need to be made for this to work on your or other machines.
1) Download "Vampire The Masquerade: Ultimate Bloodlines [DVD]" using the Magnet link on TPB.
2) Mount .iso to a drive using Poweriso, Alcohol 120%, or Daemon Tools. - I used Poweriso.
3) Install Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines by either clicking on the drive it is mounted on or by exploring the drive and clicking on "AUTORUNVAMPIRE.EXE". - It doesn't matter which one you use, they will both lead you to the installation screen.
4) After installation is complete, two screens will pop up. The first one being for DirectX9. If you do not have installed, go through the installation process for DirectX9. The second one is for the autopatch. It doesn't matter what you click since it will not allow you to install the patch from that screen.
5) Go back to COMPUTER. Explore the drive you have the .iso mounted on. Find the folder within the .iso that reads "Autopatch". Inside should be a rar file. Open and extract to Desktop. Once all is extracted, delete the extracted Vampire folder since you will have no use for this. All the rest you need to merge with the files within installation folder. Computer> (C:) > Program Files (x86) > Activision > Vampire - Bloodlines.
6) Download 8.3.1 unofficial patch. This can be found here:
7) Install 8.3.1 unofficial patch.
8) Play game and have fun.
There you go, the game should now be installed. I recently also got the companion mod on PC, so I'm enjoying playing with certain people from the game as my companions.

Trying to run the setup on windows 7, and in various compatibility modes, I get an error at file pack000.cab and setup aborts. Does anyone else have this?

CastrolGTX (2012-10-17)

Downloading the torrent again fixed everything. Yay

Tsetsu (2013-01-20)

Like many other people herein, I can't get this install to work.
I open the program, then it closes instantly. I'm thinking maybe I don't have a good enough graphics card (integrated Intel 945GM) even though I surpass every other requirement.
I followed the install instructions to the letter; nothing. Followed the various suggestions in the comments; nothing. Googled the problem and tried a few of those suggestions; nothing. Finally redownloaded the torrent and tried the same procedures; nothing.
I guess it just works for some, but not all.
Sucks because this game looks great (even though I understand they rushed production which resulted in a hurried final chapter devoid of the intriguing depth provided throughout the rest of the game). =

dexener (2013-02-16)

like many others above me, this torrent doesn't work for me.
win7 64

Prommetheus (2013-02-16)

I've finally got it to start and get the main menu but literally near instantaneously when i click new game, it says it has stopped working...
Anyone have any suggestions?

danofan (2013-02-21)

Ok Guys/Girls those of you having trouble with the crash and runnint win7 here is what should help Step 1: Right click on the shortcut icon
Step 2: Click properties
Step3: Click Combatibility
Step4: Run it in the previous versions such as win xp or lower
Step 5: start it again and click new game and it should not crash but if it does just try it in different versions ok ENJOY

Bellanzarite (2013-02-21)

Guys- follow sionis336's instructions. When you need the patch though, get the latest one from this website:
I couldn't download 8.5.1, but 8.4.2 seems ok.

khanadar (2013-02-25)

I'm having an odd issue: sound effects work fine. Cops yelling at me to give myself up? Totally fine. But nobody talks. Cutscenes are just mute people making facial expressions with closed mouths. In-game, I have to use subtitles because everyone's mute there, too.
And google is no help. Anyone else get this problem and manage to fix it?

bloodlines_fan (2013-02-26)

Windows 7 64-bit user here and this is what worked for me. It is a small variation of the procedure described by sionis336.
1) Download "Vampire The Masquerade: Ultimate Bloodlines [DVD]" using the Magnet link on TPB.
2) Mount .iso to a drive using Poweriso, Alcohol 120%, Daemon Tools or Virtual Clone Drive. - I used Virtual Clone Drive. :-b
3) Install Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines by either clicking on the drive it is mounted on or by exploring the drive and clicking on "AUTORUNVAMPIRE.EXE". - It doesn't matter which one you use, they will both lead you to the installation screen.
4) After installation is complete, two screens will pop up. The first one being for DirectX9. Say no, you fuckin have windows 7 with directx 11!! The second one is for the autopatch. It doesn't matter what you click since it will not allow you to install the patch from that screen.
5) Go back to COMPUTER. Explore the drive you have the .iso mounted on. Find the folder within the .iso that reads "Autopatch". Inside should be a compressed file. Open and extract to Desktop. COPY ALL THE EXTRACTED FILES TO Computer> (C:) > Program Files (x86) > Activision > Vampire - Bloodlines SO THAT THE NEW ONES OVERWRITE THE OLD ONES.
6) Download the LATEST unofficial patch from
7) Install the latest unofficial patch and select the PLUS patch (i know you want all the latest goodies).
8) Play game and have fun.
ALL MY RESPECT TO THE FEDERATION FOR PROVIDING THIS TIME LASTING PIECE OF GAMING ART!!!!

bloodlines_fan (2013-02-27)

ONE LAST THING FOR WIN7 64-bit SYSTEMS:
Use Windows XP (Service Pack 2 or 3) compatibility mode with themes and desktop composition disabled.
HAVE FUN!!!

Kona_Guy (2013-03-28)

Thanks Bloodlinesfan game your guide worked, first time playing this beast.

Dusan9999 (2013-03-28)

Is there viruses?

Dusan9999 (2013-03-28)

Great Game!

0kingsix0 (2013-04-08)

For anyone who is unable to install due to the incorrect OS Version message simply mount the ISO, copy all of the contents to a directory on your hdd, and remove the OS check from the MSI by following the instructions on the following website:

After you've done that just run the AUTORUNVAMPIRE.EXE, or the .msi directly, and it'll install just fine. You'll probably need to copy the patch manually, though; refer to the numerous, previous, comments on how to do that.

hornfreak (2013-04-25)

I'm having trouble with the game; I have it installed, it runs and I can save and reload and all of that, but when I try to use a key on a door, it fails to unlock... might be a bug or might be my own lack of understanding of this mechanic in the game?
For all the people having trouble installing the patch after installing the game: in windows vista and 7 64-bit OS's, the default install directory is: C:/program files (x86)/activision.... you need to change it to C:/program files/activision... for the patch to find the default directory.

RavynLuna (2013-04-26)

First of all, thank you ZKZ and The Federation for this torrent. I bought this game several years ago but lost it in the move. Recently wanted to start playing again.
Secondly, bloodlines_fan, thank you so much for the step-by-step instructions. I've always struggled with downloading game torrents.
I am having a problem with the game though. I've installed it and everything, running in on Compatibility Mode XP Pack 2. But every time I try to start the game, by creating a character, I only get about 2 and a half minutes use of browsing the choices before it crashes.
I didn't see that anyone had this problem recently, that's why I'm asking for some assistance.
If anyone can help me, I'd be so grateful. Please email me at ravyn1113@hotmail.com.
Thank you so much! :)

Sugram1 (2013-07-15)

Sugram1 (2013-07-15)

Sugram1 (2013-07-16)

i play'd 2h & seems to work with out patch, well i used only that patch what was with the game, Win 7 professional 32bit ATI radeon 3400 HD series 512MB 4GB Ram, if u ton't install game to default directory then u need a file that is in same folder with patch, if u unpack it u need to overwrite game files with this files this are patched files data & game exe, a manual patch

theRealKarmine (2013-07-16)

what?

mememuhmy (2013-07-16)

Sugram how much crack have you smoked?

MeerkatofDoom (2013-07-18)

So, the install doesn't register on C Drive. Which is fine because I have a D drive. Installed all fine to the D drive. Only thing that fucked up the install was the extra patch service AFTER the main game is installed.
I also updated the game to the unofficial patch 8.6. I enjoy playing with this since a lot of bugs I dislike are fixed.
Works fine for me.

Hetallian (2013-08-19)

It says I need to insert VTM Bloodlines Disk 1. I don't have that. Can someone help? I did something incorrectly.

ArisAverron (2013-11-09)

Thank you so much :j

putnamto (2014-01-04)

tried installing this to
C:Program FilesActivisionVampire - Bloodlines
patch doesnt work, it says to install it in
C:Program FilesActivisionVampire - Bloodlines
wtf

F54NDH (2014-01-15)

Ok I found out how to install on the C you let it install in the x64 then you copy and paste into the norm program files then run the patcher

Comatorium (2014-01-22)

come on people, do you really think anybody on TPB will giva any consideration to your opinion about unofficial patches.
STFU and enjoy the free game or go fuck yourself.

TheNethos (2014-02-06)

I like the idea of the automatic installer/patcher/cracker, however in this case I think it complicates things too much since it uses hard-coded installation directories. I downloaded one of the other versions on here, googled and installed the latest community patch (8.9), and went on my merry way.

DragonLady6977 (2014-02-18)

@ bloodlines_fan THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I HAD IT INSTALLED & THEN WANTED TO USE THE CONSOLE TO TWEAK A FEW THINGS, HAD SOME PROBLEMS & WENT TO REINSTALL IT & WAS HAVING THAT NO DISK IN ERROR. {ON WIN 7 X64} YOUR FIX TIPS WORKS.

mintc8 (2014-02-20)

@bloodlines_fan
Much thanks for the detailed guide

marcusmenthol (2014-03-01)

I got to install step 2 "run the "AUTORUNVAMPIRE.EXE" binary/executable". When I try to do that, it gives me an error screen saying "can't find GUI.EXE" or something like that. I see the file GUI.EXE in the file, so I don't understand why it's not working. Any ideas?

pancakestoo (2014-03-17)

bad torrent. Will only install into the Program files(x86) and then the stupid autoupdatercracker can't find it and fails. If installed to the Program Files directory over 2.6 gigs of the files are missing including the exe. Wish they would give the crack and patches in a file instead of this miserable excuse of an auto program

pancakestoo (2014-03-17)

after fiddling around for a while as i don't just let torrent die. It is possible to crack/patch the game to working condition to what patch i do not know.
1. mount VTMB-FED
2. autorun.exe should work. if not explore drive and run manually
3. You will be prompted to select what update to do. No matter what you click it will fail
4. explore iso VTMB-FED.
5. go into the AUTOPATCH folder
6 Extract AUTOPATCH.7z to desired folder
7. Extract here AUTOPATCH.7z (normally i would say extract to the games directory but when i tried i got 2568 errors)
8. Move all the files/folders extracted to the games directory and delete AUTOPATCH.7z as it is no longer needed

becksolton (2014-03-18)

This. Is. A. Nightmare.
Seperate install on 2 seperate computers. 2+ hours effing with it. I resolve one problem and there's another.
Don't mess with this torrent. Download vanilla VTMB and install your patches manually.
My god, I need a drink.

KimTheCreator (2014-05-10)

Runs perfect on Windows 8.1!

VegitoDBZ (2014-06-21)

After fucking around for 1h I finally am able to run the fucking exe just to find out the game cannot run some script manifest in sounds directory.
Fuck this, I don't care how great this game is, if it takes that much time to launch this garbage, then it must suck ass.

joovan (2014-11-15)

Well, if you hate "effing" around with stuff, then sell your PC, and buy a console! Idiots -.-"
