Hello guys.
I own Bioshock off of Steam and it has been a great game!
Until I came upon a problem: the game would crash whenever I entered the door to Apollo Square!
I had searched all possible solutions, downloaded all the latest drivers, my system met the requirements and no light! It would simply crash to desktop whenever the new level was loading.
Then I used the temporary solution of downloading savegame files of Apollo Square off a gaming website.
Things ran fine in the new level until (GUESS WHAT) I beat the level and I was ready to load to Point Prometheus!
So I realised the problem was only whenever I was loading a new level. And I noticed it would crash whenever it said "saving, don't turn off machine" between loading a new level - the autosave function of the game!
So the solution flashed before me!
I went to My Documents>Bioshock>Savegames found file "AutoSave.bsb" and DELETED it!
Then opened Bioshock and loaded again the submarine thing to the new level and BAM it was loaded perfectly!
So it seems like such a common glitch found in all games (corrupted saves) kept me from enjoying Bioshock.
Glad if I this helps other users because Bioshock is a great game and everyone should be able to play it non-erroneously.
Props to the creators and can't wait for a sequel!:D
