The PC release of the Bioshock Remaster is getting flak over problems that also existed in the original pc release of the game back in 2007.

Issues are ranging from mouse acceleration/sensitivity issues, no fov adjustment, random crashes and limited video options with the latter being less of a bug and more of an oversight.

Personally, I have a good 8-9 hours into the remaster and have had a few issues myself. I have had to set the mouse sensitivity to 1 and also my adjust the DPI on my mouse itself to it’s lowest setting. I usually play with relatively low sensitivity in most games though. The biggest issue by far for me which I am not seeing reported is my settings seem to be randomly erased. So upon booting the game I have to readjust all of my button mapping and graphics options. Definitely a pain but not enough to stop me from playing such an excellent game.

The steam reviews have reflected the issues with an overall mixed rating as the result, which is a shame for such an iconic game. Reddit also has a rather lengthy thread outlining users frustrations.

There is hope on the horizon as a steam post promises a patch is on the way with a number of bug fixes and more advanced options which include:

General Mouse Fixes, including better Mouse Smoothing, Sensitivity and Acceleration Options in BioShock ;

; Additional Speaker Mode Options in Audio Settings in BioShock ;

; Improved FoV Slider Options in BioShock , BioShock 2 and Minerva’s Den ;

, and ; Support for 21:9 display ratios in BioShock , BioShock 2 and Minerva’s Den ;

, and ; General stability improvement to reduce instances of game crashes.

There is no firm date for the patch yet but it is nice knowing that the issues are not being completely ignored.
