i can safely update my patch if im half a way through a playthrough

Not unless you were playing 10.9 release candidate 6...

Bummer. i just installed this game a couple days ago along with patch 10.8 from Nexus and im finally getting all the mods to work right after having to learn how to manually install them rather than using Vortex which won't work for me in VTMB.

[R.I.P]

@Onikage,

I believe that I had vortex working with a manually installed Unofficial Patch at one point. We were just experimenting with it. I think that this took place after those "mod manager download" buttons magically appeared on our mod pages, even for those mods that were not setup for vortex.

Thanks! I have managed to install most of what I want manually, after reading thoroughly and watching some videos. I am happy for the most part with what I have got.

For now, I will stick to the 10.8 unofficial patch, as I don't want to have to re-do and re-install everything. I am green as they come when it comes to modding. But I appreciate your advice

"+Removed Kent's driver license item to restore Fatguy melee attack."

I can't see you replacing an item with an animation, so did you give Fatguy a weapon item or a tentacle or something?

No. But originally I turned the Fatguy melee attack into this item, which made him use it much less than before.

It's never easy being a malk, on any level, it seems :P

[☣BlueNinja2ooo☣]

I'm using the patch before this one, is it normal to get stuttering? I can deal with it as I understand its old (the game), and the game wouldn't even run pre-patch but is this normal?

[Wesp5]

Stuttering where? The game is know to have a hard time when many particles are displayed, like when it rains, otherwise I don't get any stuttering.

Huh, didn't even notice I was using a Release Candidate. Not sure how I managed to do that... Looks like I'm on 10.9 RC4.2, so I guess I'll stick with that.

Anything gamebreaking I need to worry about? I haven't really had any serious problems up to Hollywood.

Thanks for the patch!

[Wesp5]

No, the RCs were good. The final version just removed a restoration from the basic patch.

Best practice is to not patch during a playthrough, or to start over.

[Corsaire]

Did you add two new hot fixes for it?

[Wesp5]

Yes, but these were really minor things. Like two guys downtown not moving and some restored plus dialogue lines still in the basic patch.
