Vampire - The Masquerade Bloodlines Strange Black Bars

Post by yusky03 »

I installed the game then installed unofficial patch 6.2 then patched the resolution using the resolution patch. Everything works perfect but I have a black bar on the right of my screen and a bar several times that size on the left side of my screen. What could be the problem?

... But when I try to print screen to show you it is full screen?!?!?

Also I don't know if this has anything to do with it but when I overclock my card I see snow on this game lol... every other game runs fine with my current overclock with no artifacts :?:


^Needs Cleaned lol^

Seems only 720p works... 1080p does what is in the picz above and the middle resolution does not work at all. It comes out a 4:3 resolution :(

Why? It patches everything. Makes it so easy to get it working instead of... patching to 1.2 > run unofficial patch > x64 fix > resolution fix >fixing stupid bugs that should have been fixed long ago.. all in one simple patch.

Still would be nice to get this working on 1920x1080.

A lot of those updates are just fan tweaks and repairs to things that someone broke in a previous update.

In regards to your problem I never used the patcher just the manual method. You could try that and it should work. Unless one of the post-1.2 updates changed the executable file.

Either way you should see the 1920x1080 resolution in the options menu if it worked correctly. If it is not there then that is your problem.

If it is there, well... (shrugs shoulders)
