(The path for Default.ini is wrong, that's for Bioshock 2. The same goes for the "TextureStreaming" lines, they are not present in any .ini file) |

Key points
- Remastered version of BioShock. Released as part of BioShock: The Collection, which also includes BioShock 2 Remastered.
- Free to owners of BioShock on Steam.[2] Purchasing this version likewise gives a free Steam copy of the original.
- Includes the formerly PS3 exclusive Challenge Rooms DLC (challenges, museum, Survival difficulty and new game plus).
- The overall audio quality has been downgraded due to poor sound balance, lack of EAX support & proper reverb settings. Actual bitrate of audio files is much higher, but not for BIK video audio tracks, which was severely compressed (See Restore uncompressed audio for video for solution).
- Lots of reports of entire save files lost due to frequent crashes have been issued.[3]

Game crashes reliably at specific points
- Some custom control binds can cause the game to crash at specific points (such as during the tutorial section or after obtaining a new weapon) and appear to be caused by control hints shown on the screen. Mouse buttons 4 and 5 (and likely any additional extra mouse buttons) are known to cause this problem.
