Try XP mode in Win7. Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry -----Original Message----- From: Winterlight <winterli...@winterlight.org> Date: Sat, 23 Jan 2010 10:17:41 To: <hardware@hardwaregroup.com> Subject: [H] Bioshock
I picked up Bioshock last month on one of those games for 5 dollars deals. I installed it in Win 7 64 bit and started playing it but after a while it just didn't feel that smooth. My hardware is a Q9650 with 8 GB of RAM, Velociraptor, and two 4970s in Win 7 PRO ... but not running crossfire. I didn't need crossfire as I could run at 2560 X 1600 on my 30 inch monitor and it installed with all ,maxed on the graphics. I thought maybe it is a compatibility issue. So I booted (dual boot) into my previous Vista 64 which I had stripped down to basics... no av, no firewall, no nothing running, and this time crossfire enabled. This did feel better but eventually, as I progressed through the game I started getting video artifacts = red stars appearing during game play, in large numbers, and then locks, and crashes and a inability to remember my keyboard settings. I tried the latest ATI drivers, a reinstall of the game (there is no patch), and then tried booting back to win7 to see if I experienced the same thing.. and I did. So is this just a XP32 sort of game or is there something I can do to continue? thanks W
