Unlocking 1999 mode before game completion
Bioshock Infinite features "1999 mode" which makes game much harder. Normally this mode is unlocked by finishing game at least once, however there is a code, the famous Konami code, which unlocks this mode right away:
Game data
Exiting to desktop or main menu reveals the local date of the last checkpoint.
Configuration file(s) location

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.
Cannot restore game after Alt-Tab
- The game may fail to restore after minimizing it by using Alt-Tab.
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.
Edit by anon;
To ensure the above values are applied over the default one's, Add -ReadTexturePoolFromIni
to your Bioshock Infinite Shortcut like so;
"InstallDir\BioShockInfinite.exe" -ReadTexturePoolFromIni"
Stuttering during gameplay
FPS dropping
- Nvidia cards experience FPS drops in certain areas when
Dynamic Shadows
is set to Very High or Ultra.
Microstuttering
Audio crackling
Disable aim assist
- Aim assist is on by default even when using keyboard and mouse.[8]
- There are some auto aim variables in the .ini files but these variables are reverted to True every time you start the game.[9] There is no permanent fix yet.
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.
1920x1080 on 1920x1200 monitor
Multiple save games
- Only one save game is able to played at any one time.
Hold to aim down sights
- To change from toggle aim down sights to hold aim down sights, simply make an AutoHotKey script:
GUI scaling on high resolution displays
- GUI elements are not scaling with resolution which makes these elements rather small on high resolution displays.
