Vampire: Bloodlines v4.04AT ‘True’ Unofficial Patch

Acrimonious and Tessera have released a new v4.04AT “True” unofficial patch for Troika’s Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines. The fixes in this version:

CHARACTER CREATION:
Player histories are disabled by default. To “permanently” turn them on, edit the
autoexec.cfg file (open with Notepad)in VamireCFG and add the following line:

vchar_edit_histories “1”

Some effects in player histories have been modified to avoid known buggy behavior.
Added short and penalty descriptions to all histories in use.
