I started playing this game recently and have been enjoying it (aside from the lack of maps, terribly dark areas and enemies fleeing all over the level)., but I've come across a bug that prevents me from playing any further.

I just got into the modern era and found Pink. I talk to him and let him join... as soon as we exit out of the dialogue he runs over and kills the club dancer closest to us, then proceeds to kill everyone else. If I switch to Pink then Cristof does the same.

I tried using a cheat command to Freeze them but they can still slide over and attack. Turned the little green toggle off and they still run over and attack. I've managed to pause the game before they get to that first dancer and turn the AI off via cheats on both of them, then tell them to walk somewhere else and it's fine until we exit the building and have another bit of conversation... then Pink runs off and kills the nearest civilian outside .

So in order to proceed I would need to pause the game and turn the AI off via cheats every single time I enter a new area of exit a conversation. Unless I wanted to end up with 0 humanity and a swarm of police chasing me everywhere.

I also tried loading a save from just before I left the Society of Leopold and it still did the same thing once Pink joined.

Tried looking it up on google and could find nothing. So, has anyone else had this bug or does someone have any ideas on how to fix/stop/get around it? I really don't want to have to restart and trudge through all those dungeons again.

On the other hand I do have a disc copy of the game which I guess I could try installing and popping the saves into to see if that works and if the bug persists.

Thanks :D Worked like a charm.

Though for some reason even when I've got it set to normal or defensive Pink still starts off on aggressive as soon as I get him. Thankfully I can pause it right after the conversation and set him to defensive, then exit controlling him and there appear to be no more problems.

Well. Maps are too few, agreeably. Now, about dark areas... You can use the "torch" discipline of the path "Lure of Flames". Serena learns it some point later by herself, Christof from a book. From one of those Tremere chantries. Alternatively, you can use the "eyes of the beast" discipline, which makes all objects near you and its radius, to glow red, even in total darkness, especially if they are able to be used, picked up etc. Or have a character like Serena equip the "Gangrel Eye" artifact on her shield slot. Or a torch onto a shield slot (not as effective as the above, though)...

Isn't there a so far incurable bug with "neutral"?
