- 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.
There is no native AA support in BioShock 2. AA can be forcibly enabled, however, through your graphics driver's control panel. Please consult the user guide for your particular graphics driver on how this is performed.
For Nvidia cards you can force SGSSAA (2x-8x) in DX9 Mode via Nvidia inspector with the AA bit - 0x000010C1 - [1]

Crashing Windows 7 and 8
- The game will periodically crash when installed on Windows 7 or 8.[citation needed]
No Little Sister voice acting
- May occur after installing 1.5 Patch, which causes Little Sisters to become mute.
