I have installed Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, via Steam, on my 64-bit Windows 7 machine.

I found this question: 'Available memory less than 15MB' error when launching Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines

Failed To Find Steam Vampire Masquerade Bloodlines Online

I followed most of these instructions, and the game runs great! The 'memory bug' patch ran without a problem.The 'resolution patcher' ran without a problem.I set the executable to run in compatibility mode so the opening animations are visible.Still no problems...

Jan 17, 2016 - That's what it says when I try to start the game, Can somone help me?

However, I would like to try installing the unofficial patches.I downloaded patch 8.1 from here:http://www.patches-scrolls.de/vampire_bloodlines.php

When I try to execute VTMBup81b.exe, I get a popup window that says:

Then, I tried to be clever.I copied the directory where Bloodlines was installed onto a 32-bit Windows XP Virtual Machine. I copied the patch there.When I tried to execute the patch file under the XP VM, I simply got 'Cannot execute VTMBup81b.exe' (on the command line, not a Windows popup).

I tried the same thing with the version 7.9 patch, just to be sure, and I got the same results.

How can I get this patch to install?

Well.. it turns out that somehow there was an issue downloading the patches -- both the 8.1 and 7.9 -- in the first place.They were each 41k in size. On a whim, I tried re-downloading, and the 8.1 patch was over 200MB this time (!).

After re-downloading and getting the 200MB version, the patch installer started up fine.

Really not sure what happened here. But I'm all set now.
