Issues unresolved
Freezing and crashing
There seems to be a problem on some systems that game crashes every few minutes and/or freezes whole system[5][6].
2K is aware of this issue and there should be patch soon. It seems to be related to i7 processors.
Fixes that works for some users
- If you have issues with the game immediately crashing on start-up, make sure you disable any on-screen display applications (showing FPS/GPU usage) like MSI Afterburner.
- Disable overclocking or underclock your graphics card.
- Disable Killer e2200 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller or any other virtual/VPN network adapters like Hamachi. [7]
Issues fixed
Crash on start for some Windows 7 and 8 users
- Some users are experiencing crashes on start in Windows 7 and 8.

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 selection Very High or Ultra for texture quality will cause to textures never load properly and game tries to load them over and over as demonstrated here.

Xbox controls even with no controller attached
- Bioshock Infinite auto-detects any controllers/joysticks attached to the system including virtual ones. This could make game uncontrollable and cause camera to spin, menu contains labels for Xbox buttons.

OTHER ALTERNATIVE if above doesn't work for you like me. download xmouse button and simulate a button for right mouse button and then choose option 9(as mouse button is pressed and released). you can use same with shift to make it hold to run.
GUI scaling on high resolution displays
- GUI elements are not scaling with resolution which makes these elements rather small on high resolution displays.
