lol... just..lol...

EDIT: double LOL.
I still have the key binding problem after installing the patch.
If your emulating this game through a controller.
Use the default game key bindings to determine which keys emulate what.
Otherwise the buttons you want to work may do nothing, or worse.
May do multiple things like heal you and hack simultaneously lmao.


This patch fixes several issues with BioShock 2 whiles stomping around Rapture in a Big Daddy suit. Several game glitches will be removed from the game but this patch doesn't fix the widescreen issue completely, it allows for widescreen 16:10 mode. BEWARE, this patch breaks mouse clicking in multiplayer mode basically not allowing you to play multiplayer.

Fixed accepting a game invite on the Multiplayer Menu via Friend Invite causing a crash.
Fixed a black screen that would occur minimizing and restoring the game in Windows 7.
Fixed the ability to adopt or harvest Little Sisters after rebinding the ‘F’ or ‘B’ keys to Zoom, Fire or Fire Plasmid.
Fixed Big Daddy HUD elements remaining on screen when not appropriate.
Fixed an issue where the player’s plasmid hand would become unresponsive if they pressed the Next Plasmid key immediately after firing any chargeable plasmid (such as ElectroBolt 2).
Fixed a potential save file issue.
Fixed an issue where the resolution would change on its own if entering gameplay in a 16:10 resolution on a native 16:10 monitor.
Fixed a problem where if you were running the game in a resolution higher than your desktop resolution the mouse cursor wouldn’t be able to go across the whole screen.
Fixed an issue in Windows 7 where certain Radio messages could become scrambled or broken after defeating a Big Sister if Voice audio had been turned down or muted previously.
Fixed a crash while playing Dionysus Park on a 32-bit machine.
Fixed a crash that would occur sometimes loading a previous manual save made before any present QuickSave.
Fixed a crash while signing in to GFWL when running compatibility mode for XP SP2 while running Vista.
Fixed an issue where you couldn’t play audio diaries in certain areas.
Fixed a rare crash that could occur any time before a specific Big Sister sequence.

It fixed my lag issues, Yay!!
Is like butter now. :)
 
you had lag issues, even on ur 8800gtx!
 
yea, lame..
Lookin good now though :).

Still happens a little bit.
idk why.
It shouldn't.
I might uninstall bioshock and reinstall it after a reg clean or something.
This game should always run smooth

Seems to happen after prolonged play.
Like the standard "memory leak" issue most games these days seem to suffer from..
 
is this patch different than what was made available on the 11th?
 
I honestly have no idea.
All I know is, it didn't fix the key binding issue...lol..
A patch? where? whatd it fix? oh nothing? great.. lol
i spoke to soon about the lag fix..
it helped on doors it seems..lol.

idk why this runs like shit for me sometimes.
ug..

reinstalling now. totally wiped the registry of entries for the game.
and there were pleeentyy.
looked kinda sloppy in there for an uninstall.
lots of d3d reg settings, among other things.
