Can't Save Game (PC Full Version)

[dhm116]

After entering Rapture and attempting to save, the game just hangs. If I kill the process or end the task and attempt to restart the game, all of my settings are lost despite them being previously saved (I verified my settings were saved by exiting and restarting several times).

I've got a P4 3.4 with 1gig of ram and a 7600GT video card with the latest NVidia beta drivers on XP.

The game seems to run just fine, I just can't save my game and I lose all of my video/audio/control settings after it crashes - which kind of makes it pointless for me to play this game until this is fixed.

Anybody else experiencing this or know of any fixes?

The game seems to crash when autosaving. As soon as I try to save manually, it crashes completely too. Running in dx9 mode. Crashes immediately after intro movie if running in dx10.

Using a Dell laptop, w/ Vista, 2G RAM, 8600 GT

whenever i want to use a thing, like the one "hole in bathroom wall" - crashes to desktop

whenever i press "m" - crashes to desktop

I'm surprised to see not many others are experiencing this issue...

I signed up just now to mention I have exactly the same problem, and almost exactly same specs as original poster. Extremely annoying bug. Game also hangs after about 15-20 mins of play, and the only way out is hard reboot. And it also never remembers my custom settings.

I forgot to mention in this post that I am experiencing this issue with the Retail Box version.

Sounds like the video drivers are crashing when it goes to different screens. Do this:

Right click on the Bioshock.exe shortcut, go to the Compatibility tab, and checkmark "Disable Visual Themes."

Try saving again.

I appreciate the suggestion, but there was no change after disabling visual themes - I still could not save.

I seem to be able to access the map/diary/etc. screens just fine, as well as the menu screens, however I simply cannot quick save or manually save. I also verified that progressing to the next level (the medical lab or something like that) also caused a system lockup.

So now, not only can I not save my progress, I cannot even proceed through the game beyond the first level :/
