Two bugs I noticed during my first time playing w/ CE.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned beforehand, but I just reinstalled and now I'm playing the CE and I noticed that during the tutorial, when trying to talk to Jack to progress further, he seems to say the same lines over and over, and I end up having to go through all of the dialogue again, until he says the right one.

Basically remember at the beginning when the Sabbat attack and Jack tells you to go into the building (where you first find the lockpick)? I'll be near the end of the tutorial, and when I talk to him, he'll repeat every single word of dialogue he's said beforehand.

Also, when I press 'z' to zoom out (default) and go into third person, I'm facing the front of my character, not the back, so all the controls are in reverse it seems, like when I press back he'll walk forward etc. I'm not sure if there's a quick fix for that, but I thought I'd mention it.

I've never seen nor heard of any of these issues. I would suggest uninstalling Bloodlines and any mod you have used in the past, making sure to manually clean them out. Then reinstall Bloodlines and CE 1.1 over it pointing it to the correct folder.

That will most likely fix your problem, sounds like something old is interfering with CE because non of those bugs are in CE.

Let me know if that fixes it.

Before installing CE I uninstalled Bloodlines and manually deleted all of the folders within. I'll definitely give it another go and hopefully another fresh install will fix the issues. Thanks.

The only reason I suggested that is because non of those issues have ever been a part of CE so I'm 99% sure it's something on your end. Try a fresh install and manually kill any mods you were using and let me know how it goes.

If it doesn't fix the problem we can go from there...

I know, and I'm hoping it is something on my end, I really want to get these fixed so I can play CE without a hassle, I didn't have any mods previously other than a Toreador skin and an XP enhancer. The only thing I can think of is the unofficial 6.5 patch I had previously, but I uninstalled everything prior to installing CE so I don't know... CE version 1.1; does that include the official 1.2 patch & the unofficial 6.5?

Well 6.5 already has official patch 1.2 integrated into it, and CE 1.1 was integrated into 6.5 so when you install CE 1.1, your installing CE 1.1, 6.5, and official patch 1.2.

Actually I think I might know what the problem is since you mentioned you had 6.5 previously. I installed CE 1.1 over Bloodlines + 6.5 and really weird stuff started happening, like when I would feed the chicks blood meter was all the way to the right off the screen, as I drank it slowly came back where it should be, weird stuff like that.

I had to completely get rid of Bloodlines and any patch, blast the C:\Program Files\Activision folder, and clean out my registry before I could start over.

Give that a shot...

That might actually be it, I didn't delete the actual Activision folder, just the folders/files inside. I also didn't clean out my registry, I'll give your suggestions a shot and hopefully that's the key to solving these weird bugs.

Okay well it turns out that that WAS the problem, I deleted the Activision folder, and deleted the registry values for Bloodlines and everything is working perfectly fine now from what I can tell. Thanks for the suggestion, it worked!

Awesome! Glad to hear that helped. I just got an email from another person with your exact same problem, except he is getting black/purple checkered boxes instead of the model skins. I told him to do the same thing.

Thanks for letting me know that that helped!

Compliments like these are what keeps me working hard on these mods for 6 hours a day! Thanks DB!

Hard work should never go under-appreciated, I was playing it today and I tell ya, it was like a breath of fresh air, the fact that your blood bar slowly lowers, even DURING dialogue was a fantastic idea, it makes the player really feel like their vampire is a living thing, having to constantly feed to keep yourself alive, love it.

Hey Zer0,

I found that one. It's in the Jack tutorial dialogue file. If you need details, please send me a PM.
