SOLVED HOW TO FIX CRASHING

[Brad]

I was crashing every 5 minutes and having my dificulty and controls reset. This fixed it for me.

go to properties in the bioshock.exe and "run as administrator" and "run in 640 X 480 screen resolution", don't worry this will only effect your desktop resolution and not ingame. and launch from the .exe, NOT THROUGH STEAM

There gotta be better way... I mean even if it doesn't affect game some of us simply don't like desktop resolution to change... specially to 480!?

Strange fix, but it works.
Thanks.

Same problem here. I'm stuck in the first Level because of that ♥♥♥♥. Really frustrating.

It stopped crashing for me after I reverted all to default settings(I feel that my custom key-binding was crashing my game).To be fair I also did what Brad suggested in this topic...

awesome buddy! thx a lot

Didn't work. Not expected it anyway. Probably should wait for a patсh.

Generally, the solution posted here does help. I most, times disable, scaling (UI), reduce desktop resolution and occasionally run as administrator. Additionally, compatibility mode helps, but seldom does it fix any issues.

Oddly, what fixed the game for me was running the game without compatibility, disabling UI scaling and turning on everything in Graphics Settings in BioShock to include VSync --figure that sh!t out. I still get occasional crashing, but far less frequent now. I also turned off Steam's Overlay and Desktop Theatre as well as the XBox App DVR and Game Bar services.

Generally the two most effective techniques for resolving crashes is to verify the game cache and reinstall redistributables.

This fix only works if you have nvidia or AMD i think.

My problem was that steam was using my intel default graphics as a default so what you have to do is go to This PC, OS (C:), Program files (x86), Steam, steamapps, Common, Then click on the game, Build, Final then you are at the location.

Now right click on The Game(e.g BioshockHD) then there will be an option to run with graphics processor and pick the most powerful, there is also an option to change the default (mine was defaulted to intel).

Would be grateful if anyone has any info on changing default NVidia
