* Fixed incorrect Training Message concerning bots who are friendly to enemy AIs

is that the bug where you shoot a 'sleeping' enemy and it says 'the bot you just attacked is friendly'?

I guess that the patch and the DLC are separate? I don't have BioShock on the XBox (I bought for the PC) but I was just interested following the update that silver members may have to wait for an additional week before being allowed to download stuff.

EDIT - Can't spell today!

Excellent - didn't know this at the time, but I downloaded Bioshock on steam yesterday, and it's v1.1. Bought it just at the right time

Woohooo, it's like a whole new game!
Well, not quite, but I have found it *feels* a lot nicer now, especially since it isn't so zoomed in and I can actually aim with the mouse...
Been waiting for this to appear before I played through again, has taken ages! Shame there are so many other good games out now, so little time to replay.

Hi all,

Not sure if many people are still playing this but as its not to far away before Bioshock 2 comes out i fancied playing it again.

Only problem is i was still finding problems with sound effects distorted, almost like sounds were not being directed to the correct speakers when set to 5.1

So i looked online to see if i could find a update patch from my version v1.0

Was happy to find that there was and after applying it, it has killed it
I found if i uninstall and reinstall to version v1 it runs fine, but again once 1.1 is installed the game will just hang on Bioshock splash screen when trying to load up the game.

Any ideas?
Cheers

PS, not sure how much of a difference this makes as it runs ok on version one but i am running Windows 7 pro 64-bit.

You running it through steam?
If so try -dx9 and -novid in the launch options. Otherwise try updating your drivers for video and sound card.

Also go into the BinkMovies folder or similar and find 2KG_logo_720P.bik, 300K-640X360.bik, LogoVid.bik and Credits.bik and just rename them by putting an x at the beginning of the filename, then run the game.
