I was prompted to dl an update when I started Bioshock just now. I don't think the Field Of View is any different, and there is no new option for changing FOV. Was there some other bugs that needed patching?

update - ah, maybe the stutter/pause bug: http://support.take2games.com/cgi-bin/take2games_en.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=526&p_created=1188380985&p_sid=RinHb-Ki&p_accessibility=0&p_redirect=&p_lva=&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPSZwX3NvcnRfYnk9JnBfZ3JpZHNvcnQ9JnBfcm93X2NudD0 0OTUmcF9wcm9kcz0mcF9jYXRzPSZwX3B2PSZwX2N2PSZwX3NlYXJjaF90eXB lPWFuc3dlcnMuc2VhcmNoX25sJnBfcGFnZT0x&p_li=&p_topview=1 ?

2K hasn't announced what it is. Still waiting

Yep, nothing official yet.

Two words: rootkit installation.

Thread over.

Regarding the stuttering, I had it for only a couple of minutes on the Hephaestus level...I am on Prometheus now and havent experienced it anymore... I havent noticed this update yet, so who knows.

I'd like a fix for the weapon continues to fire after you respawn in the vita chamber jacking your ammo supply.

I would also. Glad to see I'm not the only one that gets pissed off about that :mad:!

I believe it fixes the FOV. try a to hack something to bring up a minigame. it is definitely doesn't fill as much as the screen as before. doesn't seem as zoomed in to me.

Definitely does not fix the 4:3/16:9 issue.

Not sure what it does correct.

I didn't have any stuttering until after the update. Just started the Olympic Heights level.

we're talking 360 version here

I played last night and didn't get asked for a dl. Did it prompt for a dl?

^ Yes. The game started to load - I got the message that I was being logged out of XBL and it told me an update was available.

So no word yet on exactly what this patch fixes? That is a little bit odd. I was hoping for the FOV fix. I haven't had any other technical issues with the game otherwise.

Me too!!! My beautiful Bioshock is ruined with this new stuttering. I'm glad I already finished the game, but no way am I making a second run with this problem. I hate these updates sometimes!!!:mad:

Haha funny how the human brain works. I get the update and start playing and I'm like wow so they actually fixed the POV omg it looks so much better now! Then I come here and it actually didnt fix the POV lol.

Me too...and I'm only a few hours in. It's bad enough to make me want to stop playing.

Hold LB & RB when you start the game and keep holding them until you get to the menu/title. This clears the cache. It's just like the hold A trick for Oblivion. I got the stuttering on my second go through and this cleared it up.

Played for 2 hours after the update. Zero studdering, and noticed no other differences either...

I heard the cache restart fixes the problem. I did the update last night haven't had any problems at all

Cashe issue hasn't worked for me, at least for any length of time. Oh well, I still had fun with the game.

It worked! Thanks alot!

Here is the response from 2K regarding the update:

Hey guys,

the XBL update improves stability when loading autosaves and overall game stability, corrects audio during title menu loading, and addresses AI behaviors regarding use of health stations.

That's funny, I did notice that the AI is finally using my hacked health stations. Still the stuttering has made the game almost unplayable. Hopefully the cache cleaning will work. Are the buttons to hold the bumpers?

Yup, RB and LB from Launch to the 2k logo.

I had the studdering after the update and that fixed it right up.

That's funny, I did notice that the AI is finally using my hacked health stations.I noticed this for the first time last night as well. I finished the game on Medium and never really noticed splicers or bosses using the health stations. I am playing through on Hard now and was battling Dr. Steinman last night. I had his health nearly drained when he ran down those few steps to the watery part of his surgery room. I waited for him to come back out because I thought he was waiting to ambush me. When he came back up the stairs, his health was fully restored. :mad:

So I immediately went down and hacked that health station and went back to fighting him. Next time he went down there, I followed him, and sure enough he tried to use the health station and got injured. :D I noticed some other splicers using the health stations as well last night.

Maybe you need to free up space on your hard drive. Or the disc is scratched. Mine was stuttering at Olympus Heights then realized my 360 scratched a ring around my disc.

If you guys that are just noticing the splicers use health stations are also just playing on hard, I don't think it's due to the patch. I saw splicers using the health stations a lot while playing through on hard before the patch came out. I think they may have addressed the splicers not using the stations on lower difficulties.

Cache clearing trick worked for a little bit, but now it's back to stuttering. I'm on the last level (I think.) Joy.
