Patches
Patch is currently at version 1.1. It is heavily recommended to patch to the latest version, as the un-patched game can become unbeatable at one point.
Can't change resolution from 1024x768
Locate Default.ini in
C:\Program Files (x86)\2K Games\Bioshock\Builds\Release\
Edit with Notepad. Scroll down 2/3rds down to the [WinDrv.WindowsClient] section (or Ctrl-F "Fullscreen", no quotes). Edit the FullscreenViewportX and FullscreenViewportY values to desired resolution. Save the file.
Update Graphics Card drivers.
No sound
Locate Default.ini in
C:\Program Files (x86)\2K Games\Bioshock\Builds\Release\
Edit with Notepad. Scroll down to [FMODAudio.FMODAudioSubsystem] or Ctrl-F "MaxChannels", no quotes. Change the MaxChannels=128 line to MaxChannels=64. Save the File.
Alternatively right click the Bioshock.exe file in
C:\Program Files (x86)\2K Games\Bioshock\Builds\Release\
Select Properties and change compatibility mode to Windows XP (Service Pack 2).
Changing Field of View
1. Navigate to
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Bioshock\
2. Open "User.ini".
3. Scroll down to the controls and search for "NumPad0="(no quotes) or Ctrl-F "NumPad0="(no quotes). You do not have to choose "Numpad0", you can also choose to use another key.
4. Add "exec command.txt" to the end of it. It should now look like this: "NumPad0=exec command.txt". Save and set as Read Only.
5. Create a text document, name it "command.txt" and save in
C:\Program Files (x86)\2K Games\Bioshock\Content\System\
6. Open the document and write "SetFov 100"(the value does not have to be 100, it can be anything you want). Save the file.
7. When ingame, press the 0 on your numpad to change the FOV. Certain events will reset the FOV(for example zooming with any of the weapons). In this case just press 0 on your numpad again.
