Be careful, feral. Haven't seen Vora around for some time. So these bones might be a bit tough even for your teeth...  

@Uriel: If you're afraid of the wand wielders, better come to my lab. I happen to own a very comfy slab for rest, and chances of the lightning rod malfunctioning are extremely low.  

I know I shouldn't do it, but back to the original topic: The description of the problem seems to hint to either a corrupted save file or a corrupted map file for the last round.
For testing this activate the console, if you haven't already done that. Launch the game and when the console appears for the first time, type the command map la_expipe_1. If it crashes, the problem probably is with the map, if it doesn't make further tests: exit to the hub and try to reenter. Then quit the game, relaunch, at the console type map la_hub_1. Then go to the last round and try to get in. Tell me what happens so we can see how to proceed...

Malkav, do you realize it is most likely the first time on this forum!? You are awesome!

*licks Malkav's face vigorously, wagging like mad*

You know Obtenebration!?
*cocks head*
Will you teach me...?

*wags*

Nope, your tongue is bad enough without you spawning tentacles to prevent the victims of your affection getting away.

*does the saddest puppy eyes on Earth and trots away to Dragatus' Chantry*

Sorry. Decided to protect the little Unicorn. Nothing personal. Malkav made me do it. Dementation, you know.

*gets the **** out*

Owww... Really? *looks at Dragatus in anticipation*

Who's a good boy?

p.s.: I don't live in a chantry.

Ummm.... I could reconsider...

*salivates profusely*

Wait, you have separate Haven? And Regentia Claudia alloves it?  

I've found here a fellow Sally, a Ravnos, a Tzimisce, a Gangrel, a Tremere and a Malkavian... what a nice party for a Sally to join, I guess; but, if Mr. Kara only has interests in keeping one Sally alive, then he wouldn't be interested in Golconda... It's nice to watch a sunrise every once in a while without worrying... (in case anyone wishes to try)

To Childe of Malkav: I'll try that one; by the way, thanks to find the meaning of this chaos... I guess the old friendship between Malkav and Saulot can still be found somewhere along the genealogic trees, after all...

Yeah about that; stay away from the scalpels.
Especially if he's trying to bring them towards you.

As for Golconda; nah. I'll pass.

To Feral: Before I came into this particular side of the World of Darkness, I've dealt with a few of your Clansmen, and I've made of them great friends (yes, friends, no blood bond). They all found peace, and maybe someday I'll introduce them to you.

To Childe of Malkav: It crashed when trying to load map la_expipe_1, and it crashed, after loading map la_hub_1, when attempting to enter the Last Round. I guess then that it is a corrupted map file for the Last Round. I'll follow orders from now on.

I checked the crash file and it said this: 'vampire caused an Access Violation (0xc0000005) in module mssmp3.asi at 0023:26f05d86'; perhaps this could explain something...

*growls at Uriel* My Kara. MINE.

As for Feral, I really don't mind becoming a victim of your affection XD

On Golconda...I've sort of...fallen from that route...(being bloodbound to a Tzimisce will do that to you)

Well, it's less that I've fallen from it, but more that I have no reason to go about it at the moment. If I had no interest to remain on Earth any longer, or if I wanted to do the one thing I've said in another thread (taking ashes of dead friend + learn Bardo 10 = Ressurection!) then I miiiight want to try it. But I'm not too keen on letting go of my worldly desires at the moment.

I'm fine with sunrises. Really.   *Penitent Resilience!*

I was never part of the Pyramid, I'm Autarkis. I don't even know Thaumaturgy. Broke up with my Sire before we got to that part so I'm more of an Auspex guy.

Saulot! You learned how to growl! I am so proud!  *hugs with paws and nuzzles*

Uriel, my little Unicorn... I may have accepted a bribe not to protect you, but I will not hunt you, either. Gangrel tradition.

Dragatus, well... I see you are not a threat to Unicorns, then. Without Thaumaturgy... But it means Gangrel Koldun (lousy one as it is and only through theft) takes bone from Magicless Tremere!? What has WoD came to!?

Thanks Feral, been working on Intimidation. *Hugs and pets*

...That Gehenna got over with, the Tremere clan got massively screwed by a joint attack from Tzimisce and Saulot (the Antedeluvian) and that it's payback time via Salubri Antitribu and Tzimisce?

The Tremere invented Fangbook.

*bows, leaves*

Indeed thankful for all your grateful welcome, perhaps some of you would be interested in learning how to deal against Baal's spawn, who seems to be on the road for a while ago and is getting bolder every single day...

Malkav, please respond to my pleads of TFN assistance! I've already posted the crashing issue!

I find that with a good sword in hand I can be a threat to members of any clan.

You're looking at it from the wrong perspective. The important question is not where the bone came from. The important question is how big and juicy the bone is.

The crash file doesn't help. But since it crashed with a new character as well, I agree that most probably the map file is to blame.
So your next step is: install TFN into an empty directory, backup your modified clandoc file and copy the clandoc from the "newTFN" into your running istallation. Then test again with your real character, and do the tests with the direct map load.
If it still crashes, copy the file la_expipe_1.bsp from the not1- running to the playable installation, and delete all expipe files from the subfolder \maps\graphs. Do the tests again. If it still crashes, try a new TFN download. Preferably from another server. Install into an empty folder, copy the map in your game, and delete the graph files.

I hope one of these steps will help. Else I'm running out of ideas as well.


Back to off topic: Don't fear coming to my lab, youngblood. I'm a really friendly guy. It's just that the others find my hobbies a bit excentric.  
Don't know what's so bad about lobotomy, making creatures, and throwing things that go boom on impact...  

Btw, happy hour tonight. Two molotovs for the price of one!  *happily pours nitro-glycerine into small bottles, and labels them SHAKE BEFORE USE*

- 

It is so kind of you, Draggy!
*gets the juicy bone, sucks marrow out of it, takes sauce from Malkav and shakes as per instruction*
*BOOOM*
WTF!?

Hm, maybe next time I should put on the flak jacket before giving that stuff to Feral. *heals some minor shrapnel wounds, pats Ferals head* Good dog. I knew I could rely on your professional advertising campaign for my product. Next time bring it closer to Kara or one of the wand wielders

-  

The benefit with bones from a Ravnos is that they may well originate from anywhere and hence can en cater to any personal flavour the dog likes; I think my bribes are stronger than yours, Malkav

Thanks, Malkav! I'll try those and see! I'll keep in touch!

Back to off-topic: Wondering why not a single TOreador or Ventrue had stepped up in these conversations...? Has any of you diablerized them, or is it that they think themselves too high, as usual?? 

We did have a Toreador running about for a while; guess he tired or some such.
Corvin also sometimes fancy himself Ventrue.

Beyond that you're gonna have to check the RP section for Torries

I personally hate Toreadors. All of them are whiny bitches.
And no one likes Ventrue anyways.
