Access violation engine.dll

I have tried antitribu and clan mod, and they work without error.
But when I install final nights over a fresh install it crashes immediately after clicking new game.
The error log reads Access violation in engine.dll, this error hasn't appeared with any other mod or in the vanilla game.
Plz help...

It seems the console has a huge amount of errors too:

Your post lacks description.



To me it looks like a corrupted installer. Have you tried redownloadingi it?
Stupid question, but you haven't applied any officialpa tches after installing the mod?

Welcome to the forum, newblood!

Alas, I'm using the steam version, and have redownloaded several times.
I haven't added any other patches other than the ones included in the installation.
I tried the camarilla edition a few minutes ago, same thing. even tried the mod loader version of cefinal, with the same result.
I uninstalled the game last night because antitribu was too buggy for me to enjoy, and I don't appreciate floating sofas in my haven.

And thanks for the welcome.

Steam explains a lot.

Turn off the autoupdate! It messes everything up.

Wait for Malkav to respond how to install on Steam. I don't remember how exactly, but it was different.

Maybe check in the Readme? I don't have it around at the moment.

Don't ask me about Steam. I don't even have an account. And I've seen their website maybe twice. All I know about installing on Steam is what's written in Wesps readme.

Easiest method to mod steam games is to go into your steam folder (for me that's C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\*game name*) (sorry, I use an old disk for VtM:B, not sure how steam labeled it) and move the entire folder (so probably the folder labeled "bloodlines") somewhere else. Then patch the game in the new location.
Pros: Steam will not try to patch over you, by copying the folder two or three times you can have multiple mods installed on separate folders and swap between them easily.
Cons: will break any existing shortcuts, including the one inside steam, so you need to make a new one for yourself.
