So any minireviews for Minerva and Trials?
You can fix it!oh god, I forgot how shitty the FOV was in this.
yuck
I wish I could fix it in the .ini for good instead of setting a keyboard keybind I have to renew after every cutscene (while playing on my couch with a controller) and basically disabling iron sights as well.You can fix it!
You're welcome!The mouse fix posted earlier is working great for me, thanks Barrow Roll.
Having it reset every time you zoom your weapon is annoying enough for me to keep it at the default.You can fix it!

It's just such sloppy work from the devs. :/
The game is crashing a lot, usually when loading a level or textures. Is it just me? Game was downloaded and installed a few hours ago, so I don't think a clean installation will help.
GTX 660 327.23 WHQL, I am not changing/forcing anything with nVidia inspector.
Does this only apply to Bioshock 2 or did they also remove GFWL on 1 as well?
BioShock doesn't use GFWL and SecuROM was patched out yonks ago.
If I buy bioshock 2 for $4.99 on steam today do I get minerva's den free?
Well I feel a little late to the party. Is there any more news on Arkham Asylum's/City's progress?

yeahe, Minerva's Den is 75% off now too
Non GFWL Bioshock2 + DLC for 7.50. A dream comes true.
Kinda sucks for people who bought it with 50% a couple of days ago.
Bio1 never used GFWL.
well, as they say: wait for the daily deals.
Checked out Bioshock 2 due to this whole thing and
SPOILER FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE GAME
was that Elizabeth in the beginning when you first reach the plasmid machine?
am I being trolled here, what the fuck is going on?????
If they ever announced Darksouls getting GFWL patched out I'd go bt. just seems like it would be too much money for Namco to consider being that DS 2 is coming out soon.

It does now. Make sure to select "Use Xbox 360 Controller" in the Control Options menu to get proper button prompts in-game.Does the first game support controllers as well?
No I'm pretty sure she isn't in the game. People would have found out before and I would have remembered that as well.
But nice to see that people now get to play the game. Check out Minerva's Den, it's very good, especially the ending
You have to understand the bussines decisions behind this.
Games on this platform sell huge amounts of copies literally decades after they have been released. A game with GFWL integration will literally be useless in less than a year, reducing their overall potential income.
Patching GFWL from Dark Souls is more than likely, and can be tied in with a promotion for the Dark Souls II release. See: BioShock 2, Batman: AA/AC being tied in with promotions.
In fact, preliminary work on the port has probably already benn started. I will keep my eyes on the registry and keep people informed.
You find out a little beyond that who that is. Well, it doesn't explicitly tell you, but you can infer through dialogue, diaries, and contextual clues.
This is my first time playing the game, so take my opinion with a grain of salt, but the answer seems very obvious to me.
I do agree that the first image they show you is very similar to Elizabeth.
Why are you such a baller? Do you have any other awesome predictions that came true under your reign as king* of GAF?Capcom was actually one of the reasons I began theorizing this whole ordeal.

Question..when thes egte ported over do you need to do all the achievements over again on steam?
Yes.
Bro..Motherfuck I paid $15 for these two together at 9:15 this morning, and now they are half as much as I paid.
Wow, I saw the thread title and I was like "oh nice, I should buy and play this. How much is it gonna run me, $5? $10?" I'll happily take that off your hands for free ninety nine, 2K.
I think I'll run through this (Minerva's Den, I'm gonna skip the main game) as soon as I finish up Bioshock Infinite, curious to see how they feel next to each other.
Wow! This is awesome! I got BioShock 2 back when I preordered Infinite earlier this year and played through it, actually thinking it was half decent. I had wanted to pick up Minerva's Den after hearing some of the praise for it but due to GFWL, never got around to it.
Kind of awesome that I've got it for free now!
Enemies become bullet sponges on increased difficulties and you search for loot and voice recordings.
Rapture is far more atmospheric than Columbia and the boss fights are more interesting.
Yes.
Optimizing The Game
FOV
- Windows Key + R, type %appdata%, navigate to Bioshock2Steam folder
- Open User.ini
- Find [Default] Section
- Find a key binding you wish to set for your FOV, type SetFOV # (# being your desired FOV, 90-100 for 16:9)
- Example: PageUp=SetFOV 95
- Need to press the key every time you load the game
AF
- Navigate to your installation folder, Steam/steamapps/common/Bioshock 2
- /SP/Builds/Binaries
- Open Default.ini
- Find Levelofanisotropy=#, change #to 16
Disable Auto-Aim
- Windows Key + R, type %appdata%, navigate to Bioshock2Steam folder
- Open Bioshock2SP.ini
- AutoAim=False
Disable Mouse Acceleration
Here's a fix for you guys. If you remember the old mouse acceleration fix from the first Bioshock, it's exactly the same trick. I know there's toggle for Mouse Acceleration in the options menu, but it still feels janky, this will eliminate that feeling.
Navigate to C:\Users\YourNameHere\AppData\Roaming\Bioshock2Steam\User.ini
Grief.exe note: Windows Key + R Type %appdata%
Add this to the end of the file:
[Engine.PlayerInput]
MouseSmoothingMode=0
MouseAccelThreshold=0.0
Go to your bindings under the [Default] section and choose a key to bind this command:
set Engine.PlayerInput MouseAccelThreshold 0.0 | set Engine.PlayerInput MouseSmoothingMode 0
Now you'll have to press that key every time you load a save so the easiest thing to do is bind it to the same key as MoveForward. If you use WASD, that should look like this:
W=MoveForward | set Engine.PlayerInput MouseAccelThreshold 0.0 | set Engine.PlayerInput MouseSmoothingMode 0
Search for every instance of
Speed=2000.0
and change that number to something much lower. 750 feels good to me. You'll still be able tweak the mouse sensitivity with the slider in game. If you did that all correctly, then mouse controls should feel pretty good.
Now if you want bind Walk and Eve Reloading, just pick a key and add "Walking" and "InjectBioAmmo" without the quotation marks. For me, it looks like this:
Q=InjectBioAmmo
Ctrl=Walking

Looks like I will finally buy Bioshock 2 then.
Couldn't believe that it didn't support controllers from the getgo.
