2K Games addresses key BioShock problems
Category: PC, Posted: 08/24/2007 at 12:54AM CDT by Billy Wang, Previews Editor
A post on the official BioShock website should begin to alleviate some of the troubles people have been encountering lately. The update address problems with SecuROM, PC related activation problems, technical support and the first details of a PC/Xbox 360 patch.
First, 2K Games will be upping the number of game activations from 3 to 5 and the number of computers BioShock can be installed on simultaneously from 2 to 5. Also 2K is working on an uninstall key that'll remove an activation key from a PC and transfer it to somewhere else, much like Steam or iTunes.
Next, 2K addressed and worked on some issues with the SecuROM and 2K support staff. My guess is they got a stern talk and they'll be on the ball more to help address the number of problems. Also 2K updated their technical support FAQ page for BioShock.
Lastly, 2K is working on the first official patch for BioShock, which will address the widescreen problem. All and all, 2K is definitely keen on making sure everyone enjoys BioShock because the last thing anyone wants is to not enjoy that fine game in all of its glory.

Good on 2K Games. They may have released a somewhat buggy game with a silly protection program, but at least they are fixing things quickly (sternly looks over at Eden Games)
ZOMG!!1! Bioshock has problems!? You must be stupid or something. Either that or you're on Sony's payroll. I think you have the problems, because nothing could ev4r be wrong with Bioshock. GOTY! "Bioshock has problems"? Roflcopter...you don't know much about games do you.You need to learn to let fanboy zealotism overrun your rationality...only then can you be a good journalist.
I hope they fix the bog that makes me change the direction that I'm looking by about 50 pixels every once in a while. Other than that I've found no problems with the game.
Sweet. Glad to hear they are fixing some bugs, hopefully there will (maybe) be a fix for my crash while chaging screen res :/
