Where is this .ini exactly, and is there anything else I should alter in the file?
First off, the Bioshock Remaster is running in DX11 at default. Also, the "Expanded FOV" option in the remaster appears to be a much wider FOV than the "Horizontal FOV Lock" (EDIT: just remembered Horizontal FOV Lock "On" is the lower FOV option in the original game; "Off" is the wider FOV that matches the remaster. I had it on for these comparisons, whoops) setting in the original game.
Below are a few comparisons that I just took between the two versions at the very beginning of the game (both max settings, 1440p) ...
Everything in the remaster appears to be superior to the original, but for the missing normal map/specular sheen missing in comparison #3 above, which is worrying; who knows what else is missing. Also, the horrible mouse input is identical to the original.

Permabanned.
i played a little of bioshock 1 recently and thought it held up well. so is this just adding new visuals? have they included any bug fixes? i got about half way through and encountered a game breaking bug and couldn't progress. hopefully it's fixed.
THANK YOU it's not just me. For me left acceleration is fine, it's the right acceleration that is off and it's driving me fucking crazy.
I wouldn't bother messing with any graphical lines in the ini. I took a look at the original's ini, and the remaster's ini, and both have "DynamicShadowDetail" set to medium at max settings. It's probable that "High" doesn't exist, and may actually disable the setting entirely.
Below is the original's ini section:

I don't feel like the acceleration is off, instead to me it feels like turning right is just way slower than turning left. It also seems to randomly hitch a little bit during long turns. But spinning left is fast and fluid and perfect.
It's probably the most bizarre bug I've ever experienced in a game.

Turning is smooth if you keep the stick in one place. I meant when you move the right stick from dead to full range at a constant speed, the movement on screen is slow for ages and then suddenly speeds up.
Yes this is exactly what I am experiencing and it's driving me nuts. I had to stop playing the game and wait for a patch. I hope this gets fixed soon.
probably use the exact same setting as the consoles ports with help the performance but didn't bother to change in PC version

I thought it was worth quoting this stuff as I don't think many people read the addendum's to Monticello's list of Pros and Cons.
I've searched through the thread and didn't get a deifnitive answer.
How are people enabling DSR? Game isn't supported by Geforce experience AFAIK. I tried changing resolution to 3840x2160 in Bioshock.ini for fullscreen resolution, but am still getting max of 1080p under graphics options. Any help would be appreciated.

Anyone know why Bioshock Remaster needs to redownload around 500 files after verifying? Its happened twice already.
Enable it on nvidia control panel, choose res in game.
Thanks, must have turned it off for some reason.

Thank you! I thought I was going crazy because of the missing sheen. I knew the original looked better in that regard. It makes some of the textures in the remaster look muddy and washed out as all hell. Not happy about all the crashes I've been having either.
Tweet their twitter account, they should see it and forward it on up.
I liked the multiplayer in 2 as well. Thought it was fun.

I can't get that "Jesus Loves Me" song out of my head.
But do you miss the pipeline hacking yet?

Those are the worst.
worst hacking minigame ever made for a videogame
Bioshock 2 is way better with that stuff.
I could manage aiming wise, but it's actually making me a bit nauseated.
When something's not right the brain just knows, man.
Happy I read this. Despite cancelling Amazon sent me the game anyway telling me I needed to refuse delivery or just post it back. I was starting to consider just opening it and keeping it but this would be an absolute killer, I'm very prone to motion sickness.

I think I understand the aiming issue a little better. It seems when turning right, if your even a fuckin micrometer above or below a perfect tilt, the sensetivity is treated like a vertical movement. This doesn't seem to happen at all when turning left, and if I maintain the stick dead center of a right turn it seems to match the speed of the left.
At least I think that's what's happening, idfk it's bizarre.

Clearly enough of a fuss was made about the ordering of the games for Valve to take notice:
What the hell! Bizarre indeed. I'm going to test this out tmrw.

I captured about an hour of the early parts of Bioshock 1 Remastered, if anyone fancies a look.
Was running at 4K on Max, but the capture is only 1080p ; though still quite nice.
Bioshock is one of my favourite games, and I'm really enjoying the Remaster. The improved textures, lighting, and bits and pieces make up for any minor niggles that, to be quite honest, unless I'd read on here, I wouldn't have noticed.

Forgot to clarify that I was talking about pc version. Also, can confirm it doesn't work.

These sound bugs are really irritating. Gonna have to hold off and hope for a patch.
Yeah
BioShock 1 sounds like I'm playing inside a tin can.
BioShock 2 has cuts and sounds not playing
The ports are both a mess and a disappointment. I was expecting the definitive versions... but this is not it.

Playing Bioshock 1 and have had a few instances of looping audio. Really annoying.

Is there a big patch to download on PS4? I'm on my way home and hoping I can play immediately.

BioShock Infinite is like playing some homeless guy's vivid imagination
Cruising on Survivor so far. I forgot how OP the Telekinesis plasmid is. Hurl any corpse at an enemy and they usually go down in one hit.

I feel like DOOM this year established the gold standard. There was a point where I turned off aim assist entirely and was able to continue to get accurate shots off. That game's sense of speed is like 2x that of most shooters, so it felt like a miracle that the controls felt as good as they did. Going from DOOM to Overwatch back in May felt like a step back into the mid-2000's in terms of actual analog tuning. I mean, it's not impossible to adjust, but DOOM felt like the PERFECT balance of speed and accuracy on an analog stick, and I'm really hoping we can kind of have developers take notice.
BioShock Remastered does feel like it's better than the 2007 original release to me, as I seem to recall playing with a gamepad feeling extremely fast and twitchy on Xbox 360. However, that feeling may have come from a combination of bad FOV settings and input lag from my display at the time -- back then I had no real sense to think about response time in my display selection, and I think the TV I had was pretty bad at it, as Rock Band and Guitar Hero would often calibrate around 100ms. May have lent to a sense that things were moving too fast. Remastered is still noticeably bad when it comes to its acceleration, but despite how sluggish it feels, I do feel like I'm landing shots a lot better than I was able to back in 2008 or so when I first played the game.
