Vacuum tubes for a poster

LadyGahan · #1 (**permalink**) 05-02-2008, 03:37 PM

It's my first time playing...
I got to the point when I am offered some exchange for the 3 posters... And I was asked for vacuum tubes, which I had. Found them instead of a CD.

Anyway, I place them in my mailbox (Tremere chantry) and they stay there, no exchange... Why? I left them there, went to do some stuff and when i came back they were still there.
Do I need to wait longer? The first exchange was so quick...

Which patch version are you using and are you using basic or plus? Did you continue from an older saved game per chance?

I got this computer with the game on it, the guy sold it to me and when I found out he had this game I asked him to leave it on so I have no idea how it is patched...

Is there any way I could find out from files installed?
I did delete all his saves though before I started... So all saves are mine. You could say I continued from an old save, but it was mine, and most possibly the latest I did...

Please look for the patch readme in the vampire directory or start a new game and look for the info on the base character screen. I think this bug was still in version 5.0...

Sorry it took so long but it's pretty hectic here as I'm in the process of moving

Anyway,I checked the Vampire folder and don;t see anything, but the Character screen has something in blue in the upper left part... It says VTMB Up 4.9
So, I need to upgrade?

Upgrading during the game is always problematic, because random bugs may pop up. In your case I would rather look in the walkthrough here for the other items Gary's is looking for and just keep on putting them in the mailbox. The tubes will vanish then at a certain time.

OK, thanks, I'll see what happens
