I installed Bioshock on my PC today, but everytime I launch it, it goes until the 2K Boston/Australia logo before crashing back to the desktop. System Specs are: Windows XP home SP2 AMD Athlon Processor 3000+, 2.06GHZ 1GB Ram NVIDIA GeForce FX 5900 Ultra Video card 256MB DirectX 9.0c
Try this. http://cyri.systemrequirementslab.com/srtest/ Your pc...sounds a bit weaker than my laptop.
I would guess your specs are too low, otherwise it could be a bug, update your drivers and check the game's official site for patches.
Well it's apparently a widespread problem... the drivers are all up to date, and I'm well within the system requirements for this game
The game must be weaker than I thought-my video card eat's yours so I'm suprised. Maybe there is a patch for it to correct it. http://www.megagames.com/ Try your luck there, this is where I get my patches.
When I had problems with Bioshock (when it first came out), I got help here: http://forums.2kgames.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=16
