Greetings from Tessera. 
I am aware that your website has been following the progress of our True VTMB Patch,
for the game Vampire -- The Masquerade: Bloodlines.
I am posting this message to let you know that we have finally released our latest and
finest patch ever: the True VTMB Patch version 4.04AT.
As you may know, our previous versions became the focus of quite a bit of controversy, due to the way in which they had originally been compiled. That controversy should now come to an end with version 4.04AT, as it is a true, bug-fixes-only and restorative patch that was created 100 percent by Acrimonious and myself. In fact, we created this version with two primary goals in mind: first, to produce a superior patch to anything that is currently available on the web and secondly, to once and for all cut ourselves loose from any and all "carry overs" from the numerous gameplay mods being produced by Werner Spahl (aka "Wesp5").
All told, the True VTMB Patch v. 4.04AT took us nearly three months to complete. We began with a "plain vanilla" installation of VTMB -- the way it comes straight out of the retail box -- and we then proceeded to dissect the game, until we had uncovered and repaired as many problems as we could find on our own. Many things were not only fixed, but many others that were unfinished by Troika were also restored. In every case, we based our decisions not upon the myriad of conflicting requests from the players, nor from snippets of gossip and controversy, but upon actual statements and allusions made by the people who developed this wonderful game. We then packaged our results and enlisted the aid of a half-dozen volunteers, who spent a couple of weeks independently beta testing our patch and providing us with detailed feedback and bug reports.
Finally, we felt secure enough in what we had produced to release version 4.04AT to the public on Sunday, June 10th, 2007. It is finally a done deal, and we hope that VTMB fans all over the world will enjoy the fruits of our labor, as much as we are enjoying it ourselves.

True VTMB Patch 4.04AT is truly a patch for Bloodlines purists and it is for those players that it was intended. If you feel that you are a player who fits into that category, then this is truly the patch that you have waited for more than two years to enjoy. We will continue to work on improving our patches, but for now, we feel that version 4.04AT establishes an excellent baseline from which to build upon in the future.
All my best,
