Biohock 360 surprise update explained |
Ó
As much as the FPS Bioshock (Xbox 360 and PC) is enjoying tremendous commercial success around the globe, its fans were alarmed the other day as a surprise patch update suddenly appeared. We say surprise because no one knows for sure what purpose it exactly serves.Xbox Live Director of Programming Larry Hyrb (aka Major Nelson) tried to contact 2K Games and Irrational Games for some clarifications about the matter. This response the Major received was:
Update improves stability when loading autosaves and overall game stability, corrects audio during title menu loading, and addresses AI behaviors regarding use of health stations.
It looks like the update was for a good reason after all. Prior to this, some gamers were complaining about a bug that involved skipping, aspect ratio issues, and unexpected pauses among others. Quite intriguingly, some have reported that they began experiencing the issues after they've installed the update.

Well cheers for that 2K. Now can we tell you in some ignorant manner what the patch actually does for us?
4 out of 5 people I know now have a virtually unplayable game. I haven't updated yet so I'm OK.
But what with the lame explanation for the "cropping" widescreen version and this, you do suck donkey balls
tremendous commercial success.. ok, fine.. but at least in the PC Version, tons of People cant play the game because of Sound Problems and Problems the People dont notice, like missing blood decals on all the walls !! Check out the 2kGames Forums.. Tons of People are waiting to play until a Patch its Released for PC .. Technical Support over there is Powerless.. they are gathering the Information and sending it to the Main Offices, but the Main Offices dont say anything at all if a Patch its at his works or when it will be out. I remember trying to get the Game on Release day like Crazy.. for what? Now I am wating since almost 2 weeks to play the game :(
And I cant understand how a Patch on the XBox 360 can do such a damage?? I mean, its ONE Console, no a PC which you have million of differents combinations of Hardware, its ONE damm same Hardware... How couldthe tests miss that?? I dont understand...
The damn subtitles, they're so messed up....
they pass reallyquickly and don't sync the voice overs.
yeah the subs are crap. I also find the voice overs quite and hard to hear when all hell is breaking loose. And you cant always read the subs......when all hell is breaking loose.
Dont get me wrong, I love this game. One of the best I've played, but god there are some issues with it.
I don't think the 360 version has subtitles. Wonder why the PC version would....anyway, you can go into the menu and go to the messages section in order to listen again and read the entire message.
that doesn't explain the lag or anything

its too much for the 360 and helps in less RED RING OF DEATH incidents
good news......yay!!!
I'm not sure if this option was there before the patch, but you can turn off V-sync in the option screen - its called "unlock framerate" you'll get more frames but you'll see a little screen tearing.
I don;t know about you guys, but I have ZERO problems with this game.
oh well
The game was freezing for me every few seconds, looks like this fixed it.
