Warnings
- The macOS (OS X) version of this game does not work on macOS Catalina (version 10.15) or later due to the removal of support for 32-bit-only apps.
BioShock Infinite is a singleplayer first-person shooter game in the BioShock series.
The PC version was noted as a quality port, including graphics and control options.[1][2]
The game has a built-in benchmark mode which can be accessed through launcher in Advanced menu. On Linux, however, the command line argument DefaultPCBenchmarkMap.xcmap -unattended
needs to be included to access it. Aim-assist is on by default even when not using a controller, but can be fixed.

Issues unresolved
Windows
Freezing and crashing
- There have been reports of crashing and freezing, possibly related to i7 processors.[10][11] 2K is aware of this issue and there should be patch soon.[citation needed]
Possible fixes[citation needed] |
---|
|
Issues fixed
Stuttering during gameplay
Texture Pool Size Fix[13][14] |
---|
|
Texture streaming quality problems
- When the game can't detect or detects wrong video memory size, it automatically enables only Very Low and Low options for texture quality.
- There is also an issue on some systems that selecting Very High or Ultra for texture quality will cause to textures never load properly and game tries to load them over and over.[15]
Low texture quality and streaming fix[16] |
---|
[TextureStreaming] UseTextureFileCache=False TexturePoolSizeReductionMB=1500 PoolSize=3000 LowPCTexturePoolSizeMB=3000 |
FPS dropping
- Nvidia cards experience FPS drops in certain areas when
Dynamic Shadows
is set to Very High or Ultra.
Vsync bug fix[17][18] |
---|
VsyncTo60WhenUnder30=False to VsyncTo60WhenUnder30=True |
Make the Game Hor+
Edit Configuration File[citation needed] |
---|
AspectRatioAxisConstraint=AspectRatio_MaintainYFOV |
Disable aim-assist
- Aim-assist is on by default even when using keyboard and mouse.[19]
- There are some auto aim variables in the .ini files but these variables are reverted to True every time you start the game.[20] There is no permanent fix yet.
Permanent Partial Solution[21] |
---|
|
Temporary auto aim fix[22] |
---|
|
Windows
Crash on start for some Windows 7 and 8 users
Force start in Windowed Mode[citation needed] |
---|
|
Run Steam as an administrator and the game itself NOT as an administrator[citation needed] |
---|
Change the Documents folder back to default if it has been moved[citation needed]
|
---|
Cannot restore game after Alt-Tab
Exit TeamViewer[23] |
---|
Xbox controls even with no controller attached
- Bioshock Infinite auto-detects any controllers/joysticks attached to the system including virtual ones. This could make the game uncontrollable, cause the camera to spin, and label the menu with Xbox prompts.
Remove all controllers[citation needed] |
---|
|
Microstuttering
Adaptive and dynamic V-Sync[citation needed] |
---|
|
- Mice with high polling rates can sometimes cause microstuttering.
Fix for Razer mice[26] |
---|
|
Audio crackling
Update GPU drivers[27][citation needed] |
---|
Run the game in compatibility mode[28] |
---|
Audio stutter may also be fixed by enabling compatibility mode for
|
Linux
Game starts on the wrong screen
Start with a a command line option[citation needed] |
---|
|
Game starts on the wrong screen, wrong aspect ratio
- In a multi-monitor configuration where 1 monitor is portrait and 1 monitor landscape and where game starts on portrait monitor and is forced to run on the landscape monitor using
--eon_force_display
, game does not recognize landscape monitor's aspect ratio and will only allow portrait aspect ratios/resolutions. - No real fix is available at this time.
Pending fix[citation needed] |
---|
|
Wayland fix[citation needed] |
---|
On Wayland, an alternative solution is to use gamescope acting as a virtual single monitor, to avoid issues caused by a multi-monitor setup. Install or build gamecope and add the following to Bioshock: Infinites launch options in Steam: |
Game uses system mouse acceleration
- The game uses mouse acceleration, even if mouse acceleration is turned off in-game.
Disable mouse acceleration in the system before game launches[citation needed] |
