AMD, Nvidia release driver updates for BioShock
Both AMD and Nvidia have released new drivers that help to ensure optimal compatibility with the game.
ATI has released what they call a "Hotfix" driver, which applies to all Radeon 9x00, X1000, and HD 2000 series cards and addresses the following symptom: "Users may experience stuttering with Preload, Missing / black surfaces and / or display corruption." The new Catalyst driver can be downloaded from this page for both Windows Vista and Windows XP.
If you're sporting an Nvidia card under your hood, regardless of whether it's a GeForce 6, 7, or 8 series GPU, you’ll want to grab the new ForceWare 163.44 drivers available in Windows Vista 32bit and 64bit, Windows XP, Windows XP 64bit, and Windows Server 2003 64bit flavors.

The "this page" link takes you to the general support section. The actual URL of the page to download the ATI hotfix is:[url]http://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptI =894&task=knowledge&questionID=29041[/url] |

A driver update for a single game?If the game uses documented DirectX functionality, what's there to fix?Or does the performance decrease if you rename BioShock.exe ? |
