windows 8.1 issue?

hello
i've installed a clean copy of vtmb , then i downloaded tfn 1.4 then applied patch 1.4.1
then open vampire.exe acording to instruction (capability win xp+ sp3 and other stuff)
and crash.
no explantion except a "failed to run and need to close"
if running via normal vtmb icon then it almost works, i mean it works graphicly, but thats it no new clans,and no new disiplines.
could you help?

To me it looks like a corrupted download... Could you reinstall the game, redownload the mod and patch and install them then? Of course you didn't install any other mods?
Have you tried to run as an administrator?

I agree with Feral, it sounds like either a corrupted download or you didn't install TFN 1.4 in the proper location.

the game itself is a gog virsion thanks to the almighty gods of piracy...
and the game download is imho ok, but the path of installment..idk i tried in the vtmb directory, and also in vampire directory, which is correct? and yes i tried run as admin..

I believe everything needs to be installed into the Vampire - Bloodlines directory. I'm not sure how the file structure is setup for the GOG install but for the discs, I think it needs to go into Vampire - Bloodlines. You can try extracting TFN into an empty folder and look to see what needs moved over.

i tried it.

The GOG version includes the 9.5 base patch and the mod loader. so you might want to do the tfn installation a bit different. First install bloodlines. Then install tfn in an empty directory, unzip the 1.34.1 patch and copy in this directory thereby merging the /vampire folders. Then rename the /vampire folder to /tfn and copy that in your bloodlines base directory. Now you create a launch icon for vampire.exe on your desktop, open the properties and change the line to call the exe like this: ...bloodlines\vampire.exe -game tfn

kinderd i don't understand, making a tfn folder,to unpack 1.4 full, ok, there unpacking the patch 1.4.1 , then merging it with the vampire folder,and rename it to tfn? are you trying to use your discipline on me cause i'm getting confused...
