User feedback, I suspect, their own forums are pretty active, so they have lots of ideas, likes and loathes being said.

Anyone tried this yet? Any performance improvements?

Seen as Bioshock runs very well, anyway, I don't think performance improvements are necessary. The change log would have said anyway.

Other than the fact the patch installer crashes, it's all peachy

Have you tried both versions, running it under safe mode ?

The new plasmids (which show up in-game as "downloaded" content, making them sound third-party) only seem to cost 1 Adam. This happening for anyone else?

I read the same thing on the 2K forums, so I don't think it's a glitch.

Iirc, I think that you get more worth overall out of it if you save the sisters, because you get the gifts, every now and again for every X you save, by the adam machines.

where X = 5, 10, 15, etc etc.
