Yas its a crash bug in the game.

The only fix is this,

(From a developer)

We think we've found the bug, but to truly fix it we'd need to release a patch. In the meantime if you run the game -console, load your save, and before you jump aboard the boat to escape the society bring up the console and execute the following command:

If you saved Johansen:
Code:
SaveJohansen()


Then to level transition if you're anybody but a Nosferatu:
Code:
changelevel2 la_hub_1 taxi_landmark


And if you're a Nosferatu, instead use:
Code:
changelevel2 la_hub_1 sewer_map_landmark


It should do what getting in the boat trigger was intended to do without all the unnecessary crashing. Wink

Wow. Its like they didnt playtest it at all.

How could they? They only work 8 hours a day. With the load times and sound lag it would have taken them 2 years to playtest it.

Thanks for posting that, had the same problem, and that got round it quite nicely.

The threads title should be changed to something like 'Solution to Society of Leopold crash bug' and then stickied.

Had the same prob. Shame I am to lazy to do that, gonna wait for a patch This game needs a patch BIG TIME.

 

[Hallo]

Are you kidding? It takes 5 secs. If there's something you dont understand just ask.

 

[Burn]

No I understand it just fine. I dont want to have to keep useing console commands to make the game work. I'll wait for the patch, got better things to do anyways.

 

[Hallo]

Well if you're time is so valuble that you cant spend 5 secs on typing in two commands I dont really see how you can be spending it on playing computer games at all. Good luck with you important life. =)

 

[Burn]

No my "time is so valuble" that I'd rather play a nonbuggy game in my free time, and wait for the patch for this one.

>.>

 

[Raz]

Oh come on. This is the only place where the game always crashes. Type in those two commands and you're back in the game.

however if you consider other people, like myself, who cannot seem to use the desktop shortcut (and thusly cannot access the console)...this bug is absolutely game stopping.

 

[psicosomatico]

i did the console stuff
i went to the cab near lacroix building , now there are some building scraps and two police cars..... but i where is the professor now ? i tought he would come with me in the boat ( i choose to rescue him in dialog and the console command ), it is normal ? he just took a trip on boat and left to his home ?

 

[Hallo]

Yes, it is normal. =)

 

[Wet_Flannel]
