steide56: I bought the original Bioshock (not the remastered version because I heard its kinda buggy and messes up the lighting and I hate that) and tried to play it the last couple of days and have found it to be impossible to do. The game opens up in some kind of windowed state where you cant really see the bottom of it. If you change the resolution to anything wide screen the game just crashes and I have to restart my pc. Funnily enough if i change the resolution to 1920x1080 in windowed mode it still works somehow? But then as soon as I go into full screen it crashes again. Has anybody else had this problem and figured out how to solve this? I've waited years to finally play this game and it's a huge let down to have to deal with this right now
I have the same issue and I found a temporary work around!
The problem arise because the original game is too old that the new DX12 driver of your graphic card have problem with it. To correct this, we can force this game to run in DX9 mode.
Here's how to do it:
First, navigate to your gog galaxy client's game page, as shown in the screenshot, then click the configurate option, in the following setting tab, choose FEATURES option. There is a Launch parameter option, tick the box that says 'Custom executables/ arguments'.
There is a File 1 executable option, this is the exe you use to launch the game, there is a Duplicate button, press it once to create another executable file called File 2 under the default options.
Then, fill the argument text box with -dx9 as shown in the screenshot, remember to tick the Default executable underneath.
ANd that's it! Press OK to close the option tab, and you are down. Launch the game normally through gog galaxy client, and the bottom of the menu is no longer truncated! You can also change resolution as needed, the game won't freeze or CTD anymore!
