IceCube, not sure what you are complaining about here. Are you suggesting that there wasn't a change or that we shouldn't mention an undocumented change that affects the game to such an extent? And...
I noted the same change in behaviour, on Prince, and it has made the game substantially more difficult to manage when it comes to happiness, unless you have a lot of luxury resources in surplus....
Very impressive list of patch details. Considering I've encountered many/most of these issues, it'd be great to see how the game feels after patching. Still loving it as it is, so congrats and keep...
I think it important for any natural (random) events, which I support, to be incredibly varied and dependent on the terrain and other factors in the area. Not only do the events themselves be...
I think it sounds like an interesting idea, to have military units reduce population in a city by some factor. I'll leave it to the experts to determine how such an element would work and be balanced...
Yeah, that's important to remember. Reviewers don't tell you how other players think about the game, or relate the experiences of those others. They tell you how their game played. While I think it's...
I read both The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged many years ago. I didn't know precisely which influences/references were in BioShock until I played it, though, having not followed the game's...
Atlas Shrugged was an amazing read (as was The Fountainhead). However, if you are interested in something like the BioShock story, I don't think you'd get it from Atlas Shrugged. They have core...
Having read this thread, I thought I'd test something out. I don't trade in any games (I have a massive cabinet full of PC games from at least the last 10 years) but I figured I'd give a local EB a...
Unfortunate typo. ;) Thanks for the info!
Vista Ultimate 64-bit OEM (full version)
eVGA 8800GTS 640MB superclocked
AMD Athlon 64 x2 4400+
Asus A8N-SLI Premium (socket 939)
Retail BioShock (LE)

No problems at...
There's no AA, so put it out of your mind.
At 1280x1024, the 320MB version of the 8800GTS will do you fine. I picked up a superclocked 8800GTS 640MB version because I play at 1920x1200 and needed...
I posted my problem in the big sticky thread at the top of the forum (why we would want to repost it in this one...oh well). Anyway, SecuROM wouldn't connect to the patch service after installation...
While I agree that you may not see much difference playing with DX10 over DX9, there's no reason why the game won't work in Vista x64. It works perfectly for me. I also dual-boot with WinXP (the...
Visit these couple:

The latter has a bunch of comparisons before the DX9 vs....
Yep, you can't generalize to BioShock not being compatible in Vista. I play it in Vista Ultimate 64-bit and don't have issues with the game crashing. It's smooth as butta. As suggested, try some...
I think folks may have missed the point: if you are happy with what you have, then there's no problem. I could tell the difference when I jumped from my Audigy 2 ZS to my current X-Fi mentioned...
Hmm. I've been running my X-Fi Platinum Fatal1ty Champion Series card on Vista 64-bit and haven't had any issues with sound (on a 7.1 speaker setup). So, I think I'll skip jumping on some beta...
There's another thread with a tip here (click the "here"!).
Yep, it does show that you shouldn't assume anything on the net. We could be anyone...or everyone! Or noone! Now, that'd be scary. ;)
I think the lack of scariness in BioShock comes from the fact...
Btw, the "this helps" in the above message is a link, in case anyone can't see it.
ALchemy only works with Directsound3D games, though. OpenAL is a different implementation. Not sure if this helps in explaining it any better. I'm not much of an audiophile, despite my system. I just...
As a note to Vista (64-bit) users, I believe the path to the .ini files would be: C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Bioshock
I've noticed this from the start, too. Funny thing is, I don't mind such wackiness from the physics. In any game that uses ragdoll physics I've come across some strangeness with how it works but I...
