/signed would love to see this.

Quick question, is this happening in other games as well? That almost looks like a hardware problem with your video card but if it doesn't do it in other games as well then it's something with the...

It's your graphics card. X800 only supports SM 2.1b and you need 3.0. Anything under the X1k series for ATi doesn't support 3.0. (X8xx, 9xxx, 8xxx, 7xxx, etc).

I'll see if mine does the same. I usually don't need to touch the volume but I'll check.

20X SATA DVDRW here and absolutely no problems.

Nope, not the first game to require it. Splinter Cell: Double Agent required it. I know there are at least a couple others that require it and have come before Bioshock.

I'll admit I've had very few problems with the game but the ones that I've had were pretty big. The FOV in the game was the first game to actually make me physically sick. I do have a widescreen...

Sata DVD drives are pretty cheap:

Sorry for the bit of off-topic.

Off is. It stated it in the manual.

Mine came in with no problems on him.

Yes I had global lighting on.

Dunno if it's posted yet (didn't see it) ActionTrip 92/100

Didn't really read the review as I'm trying to avoid any more spoilers of...

My LE shipped at around 4 P.M today.

Waited for the hotfix from ATi and tested in both DX10 and DX9 also checking for differences. First, as far as differences go the water is going to be where the main difference is in the demo. If you...

Umm.. some of the cards listed don't support SM 3.0 either. Think they were just too lazy to remove some of the cards from the inf.

I think it's DX10 that had the problems. I had MANY black textures trying to run in DX10 but DX9 worked fine.

Sorry, that link that I posted worked for me but the other one that's posted later doesn't lol.

I would say just download the exe and install over them. That's how the Oblivion hotfix worked.

ATi just posted the cat 7.8 drivers Aug 13th.

Unless they release a hotfix which I hope they will. Seems like it's a pretty wide-spread problem with DX10 and black textures. At least with the 2900.

Even though I can't really run DX10 because of black textures. DX9 runs at pretty much a solid 60 fps on my 2900 @ 1680 X 1050 with everything on. I'm running Vista Ultimate.

Your video card is the most likely problem. You need an sm 3.0 card. The 850 is a 2.1b (I think) card.

With the parts that you COULD see with it, the soft particles definately looked improved. Couldn't really see water lol.

Aye, it's pretty fubared on mine running DX10. ATi looks like it's got its work cut out for it. Got a lot of missing textures and overall corruption just like in the readme on my 2900XT. Performance...
