For the last week or so I’ve been unable to play Bioshock. I exceed the minimum specs by quite a bit, except for two things – video card memory and RAM. Here I am right at the minimum line so the game would crash on area transitions. I haven;t been able to get past the opening doorway most of the time. The furthest I got was seeing the lever in the bathysphere.
Until today. RAM is a magic bullet upgrade most of the time and this was no exception. I now have 3 GB sitting comfortably in my baby and Bioshock runs like butter. Creepy, gloomy, underwater butter.
I’m below the minimum, unfortunately. I’m not upgrading for a long while, so I think my best bet is to find someone who has Bioshock and watch them play. :-/
I don’t do SecuRom, so my system requirements are not a consideration for me.
