Besides providing multiplayer support thanks to Exulx, this patch also includes a more basic version with the following features:

Extracting the vampire folder in BASIC over the regular vampire folder will revert some of the more controversial patch changes:

+ No bonus xp for freeing Ash from the Leopold Society, letting Julius go, leaving Zhao alive or getting Imalia’s magazine.
+ No humanity changes with Copper, Imalia, Ash, Julius, Killer, Wong Ho, Hannah, Jeannette, Tourette and the charity money.
+ Books are available again from Trip (but the duplicates will stay in the other levels to ease the double usage exploit).
+ Occult items and blood are available again from Tseng (with Galdjum instead of Fae Charm because of the Isaac issue).
+ CD quest restored to Nosferatu and second Imalia quest removed.
+ Larry quest condition restored and Jeanette encounter removed.
+ All weapon names and firing stats restored to originals.
+ All three restored occult items removed from the game.
+ Ox gives money as reward and Venus her original cut.
+ Conditions for Christopher and Johansen restored.
+ No SWAT rifle and armor buyable from Mercurio.
+ No crossbows buyable from Slater and Tseng.

Compared to the bug-fixes-only patch made without permission and giving proper credit out of patch 3.3, the basic patch includes:

+ Most enemies will drop their weapons on death.
+ All illogical spawning and respawning is removed.
+ Some enemies and all cops will carry different weapons.
+ Many dialogue lines, models and encounters have been restored.

It appears the patch isn’t actually uploaded to the web’s more popular download sites yet, but you should be able to grab it from WorthPlaying or 3D Gamers soon.
