My favorite Bioshock 1 is finally fixed!

Youtuber Turtle Hax finally fixed this big issue of the game.

While the pc version was a really good (those water effects are still amazing!) version it had a really bad 30fps physics cap.
The game can run in higher fps but the physics look awful and I personally really disliked it.

A short video demonstration with links in the description

He even demonstrated it with 144fps, don't forget to watch it in 60fps!

Are you planning to play the game again?
Never understood why people praised Infinite that much and I'm really happy that this long-term issue is finally solved! =)

Edit 2:

Got great news, everybody!
Someone nice gifted a copy for him and he told me he's gonna look into it.
It's not as easy as in BS1 but it doesn't look like it's impossible and just takes time.
Also thank you Facegravy for the BS2 key!
Gonna play one and two and report if ti works fine through the game.

personally, i loved the typeface changes for 30fps and 144fps

cool mod overall

Flandy · Dec 17, 2015

Would this work on 2? I haven't played 2 but was planning on it soon

robotrock · Dec 17, 2015

Amazing

Danny Dudekisser · Dec 17, 2015

So that sofa that falls down the stairs at the beginning will no longer be hilarious?

Not sure how I feel about that.

CreepingFear · Dec 17, 2015

Pretty cool. That's why I love the PC so much. MODs like this bring a game to life again. Yes, I will play again. I bought a 144hz g-sync monitor a few months ago. Pure God tier.

CHC · Dec 17, 2015

Just what I've been waiting for!

Really though never thought I'd see the day, it's just one of those infamous unresolved issues.

Does 2 have that same issue? I'm embarrassed to say I didn't know about the issue for 1 lol

I dont know. Haven't played it yet

tauke · Dec 17, 2015

That 30fps physics seems so jarring considering how fluid the player camera moves yet the environment object animation that is driven by physics looks choppy.

Looks like I need to revisit Rapture soon!

Gentleman Jack · Dec 17, 2015

The lens flares and comic sans at the end are A+++

Looks like it

''No frame rate or refresh rate cap. Physics simulation and many animations are locked to 30 fps.''

LostMyNarbles · Dec 17, 2015

Ugh now I want to play Bioshock again and I've already restarted Skyrim and said I was playing Dark Souls next. So much to do...

PaulloDEC · Dec 17, 2015

Damn, this is awesome. Never expected to see this particular issue fixed.

OldGangWarily · Dec 17, 2015

Looks amazing! Now if only we could have something similar for Assassin's Creed Syndicate

Dictator93 · Dec 17, 2015

oh my god

I just beat this a month and a half ago....

Does this work for bioshock 2 as well?

chrominance · Dec 17, 2015

pretty neat mod but my favourite part of the video was the wobbly "download in description" bit, funkay

(but seriously, I'd never noticed the cap consciously in Bioshock 1 but upon watching that video I suddenly realized I'd seen the stutter all along and just never thought anything of it.)

Alcoholikaust · Dec 17, 2015

reinstalled today coincidentally.

will give it a shot soon

Chance Hale · Dec 17, 2015

They need to patch in steamworks to Bioshock 1 like they did with 2.

D4Danger · Dec 17, 2015

the mod is neat but the best thing in that video was the wiggly text at the end

I think it uses the same algorithm that powers Duane:

Conkerkid11 · Dec 17, 2015

Wow, I didn't even know these games had issues at higher framerates.

Now why can't anybody do this for Bethesda or FromSoftware games?

Actually they do but they weird out a bit.

Oh, I meant why can't anybody apply a fix for those games like they did for BioShock in this thread.

Tagyhag · Dec 17, 2015

Nice, that and the audio being muted were the only technical problems that I had. Audio was an easy fix but you couldn't escape those physics without some sort of mod.

Wait how do you fix the audio?!

Plug a headset in to the mic port is the easiest. The other fix methods are a little more complicated.

Fantastical · Dec 17, 2015

Played this somewhat recently and the 30FPS physics were extremely jarring and annoying. Good to see this fix.

Tagyhag · Dec 17, 2015

I plugged in a microphone.

Wtfffff I played through the whole game with that glitchy audio.

Revolutionary · Dec 17, 2015

Wow, awesome. Looks like I'm due for a replay soon

Edit: the mod's trailer is hilarious

Ran rp · Dec 17, 2015

the text physics are amazing

Nerdkiller · Dec 17, 2015

Has anyone ever actually tried something like this for the PC version of Halo? Game always looks wonky with those 30 FPS models.

Icyflamez96 · Dec 17, 2015

lol wtf was this

anthn · Dec 17, 2015

Was there a supposed technical reason the physics are locked at 30fps?

Oh, so that's why they look weird when I run.

Sgt.Pepper · Dec 17, 2015

I really should finish the game, but I gave up when it crashed on me every time.

Tagyhag · Dec 17, 2015

A-V-B said:

Lol so the problems have to do with the Stereo Mix and incompability issues.

If you have a mic plugged in (I think headphones on the mic jack work as well) the stereo mix will be on before you start the game and all will be well.

You could also do other tweaks to have the Stereo Mix without needing to plug anything in but it was just much easier with the mic.

Chance Hale · Dec 17, 2015

Can someone test this with Bioshock 2 and see whether it works there as well?

Yudoken · Dec 17, 2015

Read op for Bioshock 2 fix state.

Chance Hale · Dec 17, 2015

Thanks for the update.

I fucking lost this when it came up.

Something so serious, and then the twerking download link jumps around.

CreepingFear · Dec 17, 2015

I did not stay for the text. It looks like the text is fucking. download in description is an ass and the text at the bottom is the penis.

Chance Hale · Dec 17, 2015

You can get Bioshock 2 for 2 dollars on nuuvem, someone buy it for him

OldGangWarily · Dec 17, 2015

SirMossyBloke said:

The physics is also locked at 30fps on the PC version.

Lijik · Dec 17, 2015

The lens flare barrel zoom up/wiggle text ending is too much, it wouldve killed one of the roger rabbit weasels instantly

Grief.exe · Dec 17, 2015

Looks like a soap opera.
