The crashes i got in this game were so frequent i could not be bothered to finish it. When the game works it works well, stable fps, smooth controls and enjoyable, but for me it seems the game will crash in random enounters with enemies. I have tried running in DX9, changed TextureStreamingMemoryLimit to 2048 & others, running in admin mode, enable disable V-sync and other in game settings. Although this did buy more time... NOTHING has stopped these random encounter crashes. Others have reported loosing saves, Crashes in the loading screens when you press the SPACE bar. I didn't encounter any of those, just the ludicrous amounts of in game crashing. No warnings or anyithing it just freezes for a moment then closed and im back at the desktop with "Bioshock 2.exe has stopped working".

I like this game but these crashes are so much worse for me than the first bioshock remaster, in that game i probably had like 4-5 crashes throughout the whole game. This one, i'm at the last station and already lost count of the amount of crashes (probably 18 or more if i was to guess).

So as much as i like this game i cannot recommend it and i am discusted by the state it's in. If you want to play Bioshock 2 then get/play the original because i didn't have to tinker with that game at all and it worked fine (so better chances).

I really did not want to complain as i received this game for free but it just crashes to frequently for me to endorse this version of the game. If your on the fence then i recommend taking your money else where. and btw the last patch we recieved for these games was in October (a month ago from now) so they may have given up on fixing these titles.

Thanks for Reading, Any advice to help run the game better is welcome.

(P.S. Running Win7 with a GTX 970 & 16GB)
