**The one and only Official BioShock Thread**- now with added **SPOILERS**

1.3gb left here, slow as a snail , not fussed though aslong as it's done for 12am tommorow.

 

[Tom|Nbk]

Right I just woke up to find my download manager saying no mirrors available. Someone fill me in just what the hell is going on here.

 

[Tom|Nbk]

Any word on performance with a 2900xt?

If the performance is on the same scale as R6V the 2900's will perform much better than the GTS/GTX.

 

[Tom|Nbk]

You have to admit Fileplanet are complete and utter *****

It's a wonder the developers trust them with there files before they go public. If it's not a beta client leak its a beta key leak and if it's not that it's shoddy encryption I'd be suprised if developers keep putting their trust into them tbfh.

 

[Tom|Nbk]

some people are saying the pc demo is short? I got atleast 60 minutes out of the xbox 360 demo! That is a very long demo!

It's obviously the same length?

 

[Tom|Nbk]

Guys ive just realised if things have been going this mad over bioshock god help any server that hosts the Crysis demo/beta

Yea

 

[Tom|Nbk]

Anyone want to lend me a rapidshare acc to get this

 

[Tom|Nbk]

You could do the reconnect/disconnect trick....a bit tedious though

Explain..

 

[Tom|Nbk]

Just finished it. All I can say is...believe the hype!

However, I can't get AA working. Tried forcing it via ntune/nvidia CPL but it didn't seem to make a difference?

Hmm...

-C

Dosn't support AA in DX9 afaik.

Getting off Rapidshare now no faffing about should be done in 10 min

Extremely annoyed with Fileplanet after leaving my PC on all night then waking up to find they had taken it down. Tossers

 

[Tom|Nbk]

Would have to be. Rapidshare would max out any connection esp if you use a download manager.

Yep maxed out

 

[Tom|Nbk]

Got the demo at last, will play after I've had some food

 

[Tom|Nbk]

I just signed up for a premium RapidShare account to get it.. Was about £3 for 2 days so not too bad. Should have it shortly. The rars are password protected though.. No idea what the password is! Will have to get some sort of cracker on the go...

I did the same with another forum member but we went halfs worked out 1.50 each, definetly the best way if you want this demo now

 

[Tom|Nbk]

Whats the password for the rapidshare file links that Robert posted,
they are downloaded and waiting on my desktop

I downloaded these ones

http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=9934875&postcount=1235#

works fine.

 

[Tom|Nbk]

From the readme

For best performance, we recommend a dual core processor and either a Nvidia 8800 or an ATI(R) Radeon(TM) X1950 or 2900XT equivalent card.

 

[Tom|Nbk]

Thats what I just did with the other guy in work here whos also on here..

Couldn't seem to get those other RapidShare links to work though..

All you Rapidshare guys these are the files you want

So it runs good? Haha, up yours Cyber mav.

LOL

 

[Tom|Nbk]

Not having much luck with it myself cant get dx10 mode to work on my HD2900XT (get texture/effect corruption) with both Cat 7.7 and 7.8.

DX9 mode works fine though.

Yea that's in the readme, it's a shame because I wanted DX10 mode. Ahh well I'll just play in DX9 till ATi sort it.

 

[Tom|Nbk]

How do you get those links to work? They just do nothing for me..

Click each one, then click premium, then log in, then choose your server. Works fine here just tested for you .

 

[Tom|Nbk]

Runs on the 2900XT in DX10 very smooth, but some textures are very dark or completely black.

Waiting for new drivers.

Nice I'll contact ATi see if I can get an update on this.
