- Slider for mouse speed is set to very wide range, which can be unsuitable for high precision mice.
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.[7]
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. [8]
Issues fixed
Crash on start up for some windows 7 and 8 users
- Some users are experiencing crashes on start up in windows 7 and 8.
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.
Stuttering during gameplay
Microstuttering
Audio crackling
Aim assist
- Aim assist is on by default even when using keyboard and mouse.[9]
- There are some auto aim variables in the .ini files but these variables are reverted to True every time you start the game[10]. 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.

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.
