msg overflowed error by Bananadine 03/18/2012, 8:06pm PDT
I bought this when Jsoh pointed it out and have been playing it. Partway through I ran into a bug that causes the game to freeze on the loading screen, just before you enter a new area. If you bring up the console when this happens you see a "msg overflowed" error appearing over and over.

I found a solution, which is to reload from an earlier save, drop some of your items, and try to enter the area again. Later, I found a better solution (I think): clean up some of the dozens of guns and batons dropped by the cops you will have been idly murdering on the streets throughout play, if like me you enjoy running from quest to quest through a low-fidelity copy of GTA a thousand times more than you enjoy running from quest to quest through a giant empty nothing. I think these items were contributing to the bug.

I tried to post my solution the forum thread that happens to be the #1 Google result for "msg overflowed bloodlines", but that forum's overcomplicated registration page only gave me error messages, in two different browsers. So I went to the thread that Google listed second, and registered in its forum, and tried to post there. But it turned out that some careful forum janitor had locked that thread. Like a wounded Nosferatu slinking into the sewers to feed on unprotesting rats, I returned to Caltrops, the only Google-crawled video game forum I know that doesn't resist being posted in.
