Its getting messy out there.

More and more people getting in trouble with the 2 activation limit, and securerom is just saying its not our problem. Meanwhile the officeial forum is almost down and out.


btw a problem people are having is that they install bioshock on 2 partition (xp/vista) to check on what version it runs and looks better. Are were not allowed to install on a 2nd computer next to that.

Also some formatted and geinstalled there xp partition to get a clean and better runnning windows and forgot to uninstall the game and now are only limited to 1 copy on there pc FOR EVER).

nice work 2k.

There's nothing they're gonna do as it's part of the official system requirements for being able to play this game.

They will do nothing. You should read system requirements: Bioshock needs internet connection, if you dont have it - dont buy it.

Song names on the CD are:

Beyond the sea (moby and oscar the punk remix)(lasry/trenet/lawrence)
God Bless the child(same remix)(Herzog/Holiday)
Wild little sisters(same remix)(Lovely/Patterson)

And it's done on a vyna disk looking template Very Happy They probably used Virbatim's design

Also activation requires secrurom to download shit for the auto patcher which only takes mabye 5 seconds

you can hack the flying propeler heads (half life 2 style) machine guns so they will fight to your side. there is a mini game of swaping tubes (very easy and relaxing). and when you win the mini game - the robot is on your side:)


what a days Smile

also, if you shoot cameras with out beeing seen, no flying robot will attack you and you can find one on the ground in the erea befor the last scene when you attacked by groups of 3 motants - and you can activate it as said above and...its very fun also they have funny sound like bee:D

The widescreen FOV hack tool (fix tool) and AA work simultaniously under XP without issues. You can actually adjust the FOV while your playing and turn it on/off. It's sooo much nicer.

Now the only remaining issue for me is when they'll allow more than 2 installs Smile.

If you want to hack a security cam you have to use the electrobolt on it to stun the camera then run up to it and start hacking... If you can reach it, that is.

anyone elaborate on the "two install" thing...the 2k forums are on their knees-and as someone who has actually paid for it, im kinda worried

i tend to format/reinstall my rig about every 2-3 months..and add hardware about every 8-9 months, of not more (talking about hdds,ram etc..not so much mobo/cpu/gfx card upgrades)


when there is no more room in hell, the D34D will walk the earth

that's one of the reasons why I won't be buying this game anytime soon.

I'll buy it if there is a patch or crack to stop that online-activation/two install crap.

All it means is, if you install on a lot of machines in a short space of time, automatic activation may not work unless you uninstall off of other machines and you may need to manually activate.

Believe me, its no biggie. Any company with half a brain between its employees would not do anything that caused its products to be locked out.

I wish there was a way to hack that flamethrowing tower behind the gate at the end level, but can't reach it. Sad

This game kicks ass!
