Disable GFWL
If you want to disable Games for Windows - Live for various reasons, you will need to proceed with the steps below.

Game Data
Save Game Location
- Since BioShock 2 uses GFWL, you must successfully back up your Live profile as well as the game saves. Both folders/files must be backed up and restored simultaneously in order to move between computers or Windows installations.
Save Game Utility
- A portable software to create and restore backups of saved games can be found here BioShock 2 Saved Game Utilities
Video Settings
Field Of View (FOV)
- Any custom FOV settings will be reset automatically at various times during gameplay when control is taken away from the player; i.e. for cutscenes. Zooming down iron sights will also yield this effect.

Anisotropic Filtering (AF)

Anti-Aliasing (AA)
There is no native AA support in BioShock 2. AA can be forcibly enabled, however, through your graphics driver's control panel. Please consult the user guide for your particular graphics driver on how this is performed.
Input Settings
- There is no native controller support (Xbox 360 or otherwise) in this game.

Issues Fixed
Menu Flickering
Disable V-Sync from the in-game settings menu. Untested: Try forcing V-Sync through graphics driver settings.
Crash on Startup
| Instructions |
|---|
Left ("Plasmid") Hand Disappearing
This glitch happens especially when using the Scout-Plasmid so quicksave before using it and reload if necessary. Otherwise enable "Vita-Chambers" in the options (if it is deactivated) and get yourself killed. Upon respawning the left hand will appear again.
Green Pepper Edition - No Product Key
The Green Pepper Edition of Bioshock 2 does not contain a Product-Key. Therefore it is not possible to create a Windows Live Account or add Bioshock 2 to an existing account. Solution: Activate the Windows Live Dialog Box again and scroll down a bit. There is an option to create an Offline-Account that does not require a key, just a username. Now it is possible to save the game in singleplayer but multiplayer and the DLC are still unavailable.
