BioShock 2 PC widescreen support patch available now

Folks who elected to resubmerge themselves into the world of Rapture using a computer have had to suffer a pretty serious display issue -- due to a last minute bug fix, the PC version of BioShock 2 shipped without proper widescreen monitor support. The game would simply slap a letterbox on the 4:3 display, limiting the player's field of view. Fortunately, a patch released today adds 16:9 and 16:10 resolution support to the game's repertoire, meaning you'll finally be able to see that Splicer that's been creeping alongside you for the past few days.

The patch also fixes an issue in which "holding the M1 button would not register in Multiplayer gameplay," which sounds equally serious. Those are the only two fixes in the available update; however, 2K community manager Elizabeth Tobey promises "a larger, more extensive patch" is currently in the works.

EXCEPT, I UPGRADED MY GRAPHIC CARD TO ATI RADEON X1050, 512 HYPER MEMORY MB.

THANKS IN ADVANCE.


I would say yes. Eerything seems very nice except for the RAM. now adays 1 gig is enough for gaming but it's starting to require more.

most computers new come with atleast 512MB - 1Gig.1024MB to run vista you are reccommended to have 2 gigs 2048MB of memory.

just a consideration.

or you can buy the ram from your seller of your computer.


Yes, computer hardware is years ahead of basic requirements for any new game...even Bioshock. Although you won't get good fps at max settings.


Official system requirements:
Operating Systems:

Windows XP (with Service Pack 2) or Windows Vista.
Minimum System Requirements:

CPU: Pentium 4 2.4GHz Single Core processor
System RAM: 1GB
Video Card: Direct X 9.0c compliant video card with 128MB RAM (NVIDIA 6600 or better/ATI X1300 or better, excluding ATI X1550).
Sound Card: 100% direct X 9.0c compatible sound card
Hard disc space: 8GB free space
Recommended System Requirements:

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo processor
System RAM: 2GB
Video card: DX9: Direct X 9.0c compliant video card with 512MB RAM (NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GT or better) DX10: NVIDIA GeForce 8600 or better.
Sound Card: Sound Blaster® X-Fi™ series (Optimized for use with Creative Labs EAX ADVANCED HD 4.0 or EAX ADVANCED HD 5.0 compatible sound cards)
Important Note: Game requires Internet connection for activation.


Those are the minimum system requirements.

The video card is a little on the low side for this, so you probably won't be able to run it with all the bells and whistles.

Otherwise, you should be able to run it
