Graphic and AI Bug when fighting Bach in Society of Leopold

Hello, great job on this update! I only ran into one bug and it was not game breaking, but made a boss fight a lot easier than it should have been.

When I get to Bach, after I shoot him or hit him, he is supposed to pull his cross, blind me and then reappear somewhere else on the map. One time out of two, he briefly dissapears, I get a "missing model" message where he was and then he doesn't move when he pops back up. After a few shots, I can damage him again and he only managed to successfully teleport twice before I killed him.

I was playing a Salubri with version 1.4 of The Final Nights.

I can confirm that Bach showed the words "missing model" when he should pull out his cross, though in my game the fight wasn't any easier, it played the same as usual.

Hrm. I am attempting to replicate this, and while I can see a small flicker in his model as he begins his teleport (for about 2 frames when shuttered to 20 fps, and during the 'flash'), I can't get the 'missing model' message. Was his model replaced with "missing model" or did that message come up as a game message? What clan are you two playing (thinking here it may be something to do with overloading the engine with too many model shifts if using Daimonium or Serpentis, but I think that is unlikely.) Can y'all encounter this anywhere else? What is your V:tMB source (CD, Steam, etc) and what mods/patches do you have applied?

Sorry if I am grilling, but the more data we can get, the more likely Zer0 or Malkav can find a fix. IF I can't replicate the bug, they probably can't either, if they can't replicate, they probably can't fix.

Well, this is obviously not a scripting problem. So don't ask me.

Its fine, I've done some modding myself so I know how helpful details can be. The 'missing model' message appeared in front of Bach's midsection, in place of and whenever he was supposed to pull out a cross. So it would seem to me that whatever script linking that action to the cross animation is the problem, though that wouldn't account for why I would get the bug and you wouldn't, so IDK. I was playing a Samedi. I don't believe I was using any disciplines other than fortitude at the time. This was the only time I encountered this bug, and I'm currently at endgame with that character. I did a clean install of Vampire Bloodlines and v1.4 of the Final Nights is the only mod applied other than the original developer patches. I am playing this game not through steam but through a normal directory, though I do have it set up not to require disks. I have yet to get to the Society of Leopold with any other character. If you have any more questions, I'll be happy to answer them.

The game has a limit of how many itens the character can have. Even trash counts, like gums and rings. Zero, in an attempt to make new itens, remove some of the unnecessary itens, and I'm guessing that the cross is one of them???
