Do you have your CPU and/or GPU overclocked? If so, turn the clocks down and try again.

[DABhand]

Have you patched the game to the latest version, if not try that.

Just a Thought, but are you running (or installed) stuff like Clonecd, clonedvd?

Vampire bloodlines reacts poorly to these programs

Don't let Luciel see this thread!

As has been mentioned (for those that don't know) this is NOT a support forum.

Try the unnoficial path v1.8:

It may help seeing as Troika are no longer in business!
