Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 Team Posts Workarounds for High-Priority Launch Bugs

The studio is offering temporary fixes, with patches to follow.

Overview

  • Paradox Interactive and The Chinese Room listed immediate workarounds for major problems affecting players across platforms.
  • Suggested steps include lowering post-processing to reduce motion blur, running the game and launcher as admin to resolve start-up hangs, reloading from the main menu if Seattle lacks NPCs, and adding a QWERTY layout to address AZERTY binding issues.
  • The developers note PS5 crashes and other platform-specific performance issues are under investigation, with proper fixes and post-release additions in the pipeline.
  • Affected players reporting locked Lasombra or Toreador clan options are advised to update and reinstall the game, and a bug report form is open for feedback.
  • Early reception is tepid, with about 55% of Steam user reviews recommending the game and critics highlighting missing or pared-back RPG systems and options.
