Template:Infobox BioShock (series) Key points
- Uses SecuROM DRM with unlimited activations and an available revoke tool.
General information
- 2K Games Forum
- Steam Users' Forums - for BioShock and BioShock 2.
Availability
- All versions have SecuROM.
- All versions have Games For Windows Live, which can be disabled.
Games For Windows Live (GFWL)
Instructions |

Retail v1.5 Patch
- The latest patch is v1.5. The Steam version already has this patch.
- The patch accidentally mutes all the Litter Sisters. This can be fixed (see #No Little Sister voice acting) but the fix requires an #Games For Windows Live (GFWL) account to be signed in. It may be advisable to avoid the patch because the interaction with the Little Sisters is a significant aspect of the gameplay.
Game data
- Because of GFWL you must back up both your Live profile and the game saves in order to transfer or restore your saves.
- Save games generated when signed into GFWL are not compatible with 'offline' mode, and vice versa.
- Use BioShock 2 Saved Game Utilities to easily back up the save folders needed for BioShock 2.
Video settings
Field of view (FOV)
- Any custom FOV settings will be reset automatically at various times during gameplay when control is taken away from the player; i.e. for cutscenes. Zooming down iron sights will also yield this effect.
