Quality of life setup:
Remember to set hotkeys so you can change fps_max while in game, otherwise you will have a difficult time interacting with physics puzzles and doors.
1. Locate the config.cfg files in ..\Vampire - Bloodlines\Vampire\cfg and open it with Notepad
2. Choose which hotkeys you want to use and add the following lines to the bottom of the file:
bind "MOUSE4" "fps_max 60"
bind "MOUSE5" "fps_max 300"
In the provided example, MOUSE4 and MOUSE5 are the side mouse buttons used for the hotkeys.
3. Save the file.
Enable Console from Shortcut:
1. Right-click the shortcut to the vampire.exe and go to properties
2. Append to the Target line at the end outside of the quotations: -console
Example: \vampire.exe" -console
Useful Console Commands:
fps cl_showfps 1 - show your game's fps in the top right corner.
fps cl_showpos 1 - shows your character's position on the loaded map, including player velocity
