Numerous changes included in the patch


2K Games has released the version 1.1 patch for BioShock. The patch includes numerous changes and bug fixes to this summer’s hottest PC title. Many of the fixes and enhancements center around hardware glitches or improvements, which is good news for many gamers that have had complaints with BioShock on the PC for this reason.

It is important to note that PC users that opted to use electronic distribution for BioShock, such as Steam or Direct2Drive, should not apply the 1.1 patch. Instead electronic distribution owners of the game should get the patch from the electronic distribution point from which they purchased the title.
