The Excuse Game

Subject: problem with the game : no control over the moves of the pc

Hello everyone

I'm posting this thread because I'm having a problem with the game since I installed the clan mod v2.0 (along with the camarilla mod 1.2, arsenal, music mods and several skins found in the clan mod installer) ;

I'm playing on bloodlines , european version . I installed the official v1.2 patch over a clean cd install.

it was what the clan mod installer was recommanding (is this right?) ; I find it odd because the readme in the installer also instructed to install the mod in the vampire-bloodlines directory, while it actualy needed to be installed in the \vampire subdirectory (I found this out by myself after I installed the mod once and it didn't work).

Anyway, here's the root of my problem : I have problems controlling the main character. Every time I walk in a direction, after a while the pc gets jammed and continues forward, and I'm not able to strafe, move the mouse, change direction, stop going forward, etc... Essentially, it s as if the game couldn't process the control instructions for a few seconds, like the computer's ram was overloaded. I got most of these problems in the ressources-heavy areas like hubs, or during fight situations. I got less of these problems when I use the autowalk feature : using it instead of going forward makes the pc more responsive, but is hard to use all the time.

These problems make the game quite unplayable. The thing is, my pc can run the original game fine ; I tried to reduce resolution and details but it doesn't really help. I'm suspecting it culd have something to do with the auto-walk run feature, or with a newly added component which could use much RAM to the detriment of the game's controls.

So here are my questions :
-Do you have any idea what is happening? Could a feature of the mod cause these problems, maybe due to a ram expensive feature?
-Any advice on resolving the problem?
-Is there a way I can remove the auto run walk feature, to see if it improves the situation? which files should I move elsewhere?

Thanks for your help.
