Warnings

The macOS (OS X) version of this game does not work on macOS Catalina (version 10.15) or later due to the removal of support for 32-bit-only apps.

BioShock Infinite is a singleplayer first-person shooter game in the BioShock series.

The PC version was noted as a quality port, including graphics and control options.[1][2]

The game has a built-in benchmark mode which can be accessed through launcher in Advanced menu. On Linux, however, the command line argument DefaultPCBenchmarkMap.xcmap -unattended needs to be included to access it. Aim-assist is on by default even when not using a controller, but can be fixed.

Issues unresolved

Windows

Freezing and crashing

There have been reports of crashing and freezing, possibly related to i7 processors.[10][11] 2K is aware of this issue and there should be patch soon.[citation needed]
Possible fixes[citation needed]
  • If the game crashes on start-up, disable any on-screen display applications 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.[12]
  • Backup and move the Bioshock Infinite folder in your Documents folder/My Games/Bioshock Infinite/. Start up game to let it rebuild the folder itself to fix crashes during loading
  • Disable the Nvidia Overlay

Issues fixed

Stuttering during gameplay

Texture Pool Size Fix[13][14]
  1. Set the PoolSize variable in XEngine.ini to about 400 less than the total number of Megabytes RAM your video card has (e.g if you have 2048 MB of video RAM set this to 1600).
  2. Add this launch option in Steam: -ReadTexturePoolFromIni.
  3. Alternatively, use the -DisableTexturePool launch option.

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 selecting Very High or Ultra for texture quality will cause to textures never load properly and game tries to load them over and over.[15]
Low texture quality and streaming fix[16]
  1. Go to the configuration files location.
  2. Open XEngine.ini.
  3. Locate section [TextureStreaming] and change appropriate lines as shown:
[TextureStreaming]
UseTextureFileCache=False
TexturePoolSizeReductionMB=1500
PoolSize=3000
LowPCTexturePoolSizeMB=3000

FPS dropping

Nvidia cards experience FPS drops in certain areas when Dynamic Shadows is set to Very High or Ultra.
Vsync bug fix[17][18]
  1. Go to the configuration files location.
  2. Open XEngine.ini.
  3. Locate section [SystemSettings] and change:
VsyncTo60WhenUnder30=False

to

VsyncTo60WhenUnder30=True

Make the Game Hor+

Edit Configuration File[citation needed]
  1. Go to the configuration files location.
  2. Open XEngine.ini.
  3. add this line:
AspectRatioAxisConstraint=AspectRatio_MaintainYFOV

Disable aim-assist

Aim-assist is on by default even when using keyboard and mouse.[19]
There are some auto aim variables in the .ini files but these variables are reverted to True every time you start the game.[20] There is no permanent fix yet.
Permanent Partial Solution[21]
This fix affects user options configurations, if you need to make a config in game do it before trying this.
  1. Go to the configuration files location.
  2. Open XUserOptions.ini.
  3. Change bAimAssist and DefaultbAimAssist to false
  4. Save the changes and make XUserOptions.ini read only.
Temporary auto aim fix[22]
This fix needs to be applied every time the game is started.
  1. Start the game with a controller plugged in.
  2. Go to controller options and turn off Aim-Assist.
  3. Unplug controller and play the game.

Windows

Crash on start for some Windows 7 and 8 users

Force start in Windowed Mode[citation needed]
  1. Run the game with the -windowed command line argument.
  2. Open the graphics options and set the game to run full screen.
  3. Close the game, remove the launch option, then restart the game.
Run Steam as an administrator and the game itself NOT as an administrator[citation needed]
Change the Documents folder back to default if it has been moved[citation needed]

Cannot restore game after Alt-Tab

Exit TeamViewer[23]

Xbox controls even with no controller attached

Bioshock Infinite auto-detects any controllers/joysticks attached to the system including virtual ones. This could make the game uncontrollable, cause the camera to spin, and label the menu with Xbox prompts.
Remove all controllers[citation needed]
  • Remove all physical controllers and joysticks.
  • Disable all virtual controllers
    • These can be included in software for gaming mice and keyboards
    • Disable Unified Remote.
    • Disable virtual adapter for 3DConnexion devices.
  • To disable controller support, edit %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\BioShock Infinite\XGame\Config\XEngine.ini and change AllowJoystickInput=1 to AllowJoystickInput=0. Save your changes.

Microstuttering

Adaptive and dynamic V-Sync[citation needed]
  • These forms of V-Sync significantly reduce micro-stuttering.[24][25]
  • For Nvidia cards, Adaptive V-Sync can be enabled through the driver control panel. Set Vertical sync to Adaptive.
  • For AMD cards, Dynamic V-Sync can be enabled using the third-party program RadeonPro. Click the Add new profile icon and find the BioShock Infinite executable (<path-to-game>\Binaries\Win32\BioShockInfinite.exe). Click the newly created profile and click the Tweaks tab. Set VSync Control to Always on. Enable Dynamic Framerate Control and set Keep up to to 60.
Mice with high polling rates can sometimes cause microstuttering.
Fix for Razer mice[26]
  1. Open Razer Synapse.
  2. Click on the "Performance" tab.
  3. Change the "Polling Rate" to 125 Hz.

Audio crackling

Update GPU drivers[27][citation needed]
Run the game in compatibility mode[28]

Audio stutter may also be fixed by enabling compatibility mode for Windows Vista SP2.

  1. Go to <path-to-game>\Binaries\Win32\.
  2. Right-click on BioShockInfinite.exe, go to the compatibility tab, tick the box and select Windows Vista Service Pack 2.

Linux

Game starts on the wrong screen

Start with a a command line option[citation needed]
  • Launch the game with --eon_force_display=#, replacing # with the index of the monitor you want the game to launch on.

Game starts on the wrong screen, wrong aspect ratio

In a multi-monitor configuration where 1 monitor is portrait and 1 monitor landscape and where game starts on portrait monitor and is forced to run on the landscape monitor using --eon_force_display, game does not recognize landscape monitor's aspect ratio and will only allow portrait aspect ratios/resolutions.
No real fix is available at this time.
Pending fix[citation needed]
  • De-rotating the portrait screen will allow selection of landscape aspect ratios, but it is not persistent. The portrait monitor must be de-rotated before playing as a workaround.
  • In XUserOptions.ini setting ResolutionX=<DesiredWidth>, ResolutionY=<DesiredHeight>, and DisplayMode=0 (fullscreen) will allow the game to run in widescreen, but you are restricted to fullscreen play.
Wayland fix[citation needed]

On Wayland, an alternative solution is to use gamescope acting as a virtual single monitor, to avoid issues caused by a multi-monitor setup.

Install or build gamecope and add the following to Bioshock: Infinites launch options in Steam:
path/to/gamescope -e -w <DesiredWidth> -h <DesiredHeight> -W <DesiredWidth> -H <DesiredHeight> -f -- %command%

Game uses system mouse acceleration

The game uses mouse acceleration, even if mouse acceleration is turned off in-game.
Disable mouse acceleration in the system before game launches[citation needed]
  1. Open the terminal and type xinput list to look up your mouse name (the Virtual core pointer section)
  2. In Steam, go to the Bioshock Infinite launch options (Properties -> SET LAUNCH OPTIONS...)
  3. Copy the following into the text-field (replace 'MOUSENAME' with the name you got in step 1, include the quotation marks): xinput --set-prop 'MOUSENAME' 'Device Accel Profile' -1 ; %command% ; xinput --set-prop 'MOUSENAME' 'Device Accel Profile' 0

Notes

This will disable mouse acceleration in your system before launching the game and enable it again when the game closes (which might take a couple of seconds).
Graphical user interfaces for mouse settings (e.g. mate-mouse-properties) might not be aware of the changes. It's best not to touch them while the game is running.
