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. If purchased or activated from Steam, the game is automatically patched to the latest version.
Issues and Fixes
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 to use the findf function to search for "MaxChannels", no quotes. Change the MaxChannels=128 line to MaxChannels=64 and 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).
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 to search for "Fullscreen", no quotes). Edit the FullscreenViewportX and FullscreenViewportY values to desired resolution then save the file.
Update Graphics Card drivers from AMD or NVIDIA.

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= or use Ctrl+F to use the find function to search for NumPad0=. 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 in-game, 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.
