I meant the FOV issue. On vista and Xp widescreen wasn't truely suppourted. The top and bottom were just cropped.

I know a work-around was released for xp but apparently it didn't work with vista. Thats what i'm asking about.

According to this page it's fixed:

In response to gamers' requests and feedback from the Cult of Rapture (www.CultofRapture.com) community forums, fans of BioShock now have a widescreen option, granting a wider horizontal field of vision, as well as additional enhancements to the game.

google Bioshock FOV
theres a tool at you can use to manually correct the FOV, just load it up before you run the game, hit * and tadaa. Works with vista

The Harvest or Save the little sisters choice - which actually provides more ADAM?

you didnt actually listen to whatshisface tell you that harvesting gives you more ADAM?

No, I read a review in PC Zone that said one way does give more ADAM, but it didn't say which one.

No, it only arrived two days ago. Of course, the online activation has not worked yet so I haven't been allowed to play it yet.

james.miller · 5 Dec 2007 at 11:22

ahh i see

my apologies then lol

Rezident · 5 Dec 2007 at 11:30

OK, Gopogle says you get 160 ADAM for harvesting and 80 for saving but the more you save the more you get and also you get other stuff from another character so it balances out by the end. But does anyone know, does it balance out exactly, or is one way slightly better?

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.

When it gets around to working, definetly turn the Vita Chambers off. Itll make the game a lot harder!

you arent kidding. its hard as hell on hard anyway lol

OK, I also plan to turn off loot glint - looks so console-ey.

good luck with that

agnes · 5 Dec 2007 at 13:30

can anyone confirm that it has got rid of the 'no muzzleflash noise' from either both the player or bots+AI... also, does 5.1 work yet? or is it all a wee bit weird.

Bit pointless really as the game has no re-playability feature or multiplayer.

Not really, I'm still quite early in the game and the Vsync thing has been really bugging me (having to manually disable it everytime I launch the game).

not played it in ages, applied patch, 2 mins into game, it crashed. :eek:

HO bleeding HO !

The added plasmids certainly will add to replay value and despite buying all of GOW, COD4, UT3 and Crysis since BioShock none have grabbed me the same way that Rapture did

Antar Bolaeisk · 5 Dec 2007 at 23:21

Has anyone had a problem with the High Detail post processing option after the patch?

I get something that looks like this:

Definitely use to work before. Game just isn't the same without it on.

Suppose AA in Vista is still a no-no?

Just checked - NO

whatever's happened it runs like lightning now

Dunno if its driver or the patch
