[Bug 56713] Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines Vampire.exe process keeps lingering

--- Comment #6 from Antoine Le Gonidec  ---
> So it seems that launching the game (GOG version, cannot speak for anything else) with `Loader.exe` rather than `Vampire.exe` fixes this issue. It also allows the user to play the Unofficial Patch. I think this solves the issue.

While it is a valid workaround for the GOG build of the game, there is no such
loader.exe shipped in the game build formerly sold by DotEmu.

I still need to rummage in my boxes collection, see if I still have a copy of
the CD-ROM build, but I suspect it would not come with that loader.exe binary
either.
