Playing VTM on Windows Vista 64-bit

[Mirage]

So, I tried to play Vampire: The Masquerade on Windows XP 64-bit, but I get this message "Unable to init shader system." Any way around this? I played this game before on this machine, and it ran amazingly.

I don't know how to do that in x64, have you checked the official Steam forum.

And yeah, I run it amazingly well too, but I remember when I first got it and it started to chug when it started to rain

The game has been known to be very buggy. However, It might be a driver issue.

And it was!, I donwloaded the most recent drivers because I was having problems with the DA: O Character Creator. I then decided to give VTM another shot. No problems so far. Thanks for the replies.

You need a fan-made patch. It's a known issue, but they just never addressed it.

Google 'vista 64 bit v:tm patch'.
