It's a big mixup because of the renaming of the companies.

Irrational/2K Boston/2K Australia (same company) didn't handle the porting to the PC, they were actually the developer of it for the 360 and the PC. The only outside team they used was 2K Marin and that was only for the PS3 port.

2K Marin developed BioShock 2 (with a little assistance from Irrational), and 2K Marin only has five former employees from Irrational.

They also had outside assistance for things like multiplayer and level design.

Any word on whether the newly released patch helps TH2Go/Eyefinity setups?

It scales horizontally as of the first patch. However, the HUD elements are stretched.

I haven't played the original since it was out. Was that the same with the original after it was patched?

Bioshock 2 will support single-screen 4:3, 5:4, 16:9 and 16:10 resolutions. The game has been optimized to ensure that all game elements such as menus, HUD, UI, etc appear exactly the same regardless of what resolution the user is running the game at.


I do not think it means what you think it means.

Fovfix from HaYDen does not work with 1.002? It does not work for me...

Does it even work in DirectX 9 Mode?

It's not clear on where this game sits now

Especially since it's not listed in the games list.

Are there any more patches coming? What's the behaviour now?

A bit late but I'm workin' on it... Patch 1.03 added nothing new widescreenwise. The patched game is natively Hor+, with Vert- player hands/weapons - exactly like the patched Bioshock 1.
You can also mod the FOV à la Borderlands (here's how).
In multi-mon, the HUD stretches and water drops dripping across your visor are swollen badly, which sucks (Bioshock1 used a different FX iirc).
Screenies soon...

to be honest my patch probably didnt work for alot of people cause I used the Razor911 executable so it would have only been compatible with that, not sure if I still have the code floating around, ill look shortly and dump it if it do.. someone else will have to find the address's on the retail version, could adjust hor/ver fov and move the helmet.

[edit] cant find it, anyway the values were floats, 4bytes hor, 4 bytes ver, 4 bytes helmet position i think, all togeither, just scan for the default hor FOV [/edit]

[edit] im bored, installing it now... [/edit]

[edit] http://theinterwebs.doesntexist.org/Bioshock2Fov.exe - I installed 1.0.0.3 ? the latest, using a non-cracked executable... please let me know if it works, i cant test multiplayer [/edit]

Hmm, doesn't work here (v1.003+dvd, singleplayer). Process found, hack enabled but higher FOV values have no effect. Also, I can't switch to Helmet Value.

Any easy way to determine what version is installed? I manually installed the 1.003 patch with no errors but it still says 1.0 (assume cause its truncated) executable version is stated as being 1.0.0.1 - so bit confused.
