Plasmid Hotkeys changing every time when put new plasmid in slots !!!!!!

[Pazuzu]

This i a real ♥♥♥♥♥ up in gameplay :( Plasmid Hotkeys switching random positions when put new plasmid in slots. So many control bugs in that remaster :(

[Telephone]

Isn't this an issue present in the original?

[Pazuzu]

I think not. its an another new bug

The gene bank is reverse compared to the in world plasmid slots.

f1 should be on the right hand slot of the gene bank user interface.

I would like to add a minor annoyance similar to this one : in the Fishery you got to drop all your weapons just to get them all back after the battle.
Usually 1 is the wrench,2 is the gun
Sadly,during the fight,I picked up a gun dropped by some splicer.
Now the gun is 1 and the wrench is 2.
Pretty sure it's not the way it should work.

That with the reverse gene bank is not complete correct O.o i have try it bud 2 position are wrong every time. This is one of the strangest bug ever

[Pazuzu]

Found this in a old Original Bioshock thread ! This works for me. Its not the final solution bud for now its ok

This is difficult to explain but the order in-game is the order that the plasmids were placed in the gene-bank but it can get out of order when you add a plasmid in-game that you found or bought and did not add by using the gene-bank.

To reorder the plasmids you will need one extra plasmid that is stored and you must have all current slots filled. I'm not sure if it's possible to change the order when you have an empty plasmid slot or no extra stored plasmids.

Reorder the plasmids by swapping out ALL the plasmids in the order that you want them to appear.

Start with the first slot, even if that is the plasmid you want there, swap out the first plasmid. Again, swap out the first slot with the plasmid you want in that slot. Continue with each slot in order swapping out the current plasmid then swapping in the plasmid you want in that particular slot. If you do this in order from the first slot to the last slot and do not skip a slot the plasmids will be in that order in-game.

When you get a new plasmid AND you do not store it but place it into one of your active slots you may find that the order in-game will change (screwed up) because the last plasmid you add is usually added to the last slot no matter that you did not place it there. No problem, go to a gene-bank and reorder ALL the plasmids again.

I agree, that the plasmid slots as seen in the gene-bank should be the same order as in-game.

That one really grinds my gears. Sorry, mate. Not sure of any fix other than reloading a prior save or just avoiding weapon pickups during the Peachy fight, though :/

Having this issue playing through the original game.
Your solution does not work. :(

---------

Edit: Found a solution.
You can have 6 Slots max. You need 7 in order to customize slots.
Go to a Gene Machine, and add the plasmids in order that you want, but drag & drop them backwards from slot #6 - #1.

I wouldn't normally necro such an old thread but as this bug still persists and a few people on Reddit have been asking about it recently, plus the OP (Dustin) hasn't selected the post that has the fix as the correct answer, I will post it again at the bottom for anyone that has this bug in the future and might have missed it.

Working Fix / Workaround:

Found and posted above by @Dustin.

You need to reassign *every* Plasmid even if you have them in the right order, you must swap all of them - swap the Plasmid in slot #1 for a different Plasmid, then repeat with slots #2, #3... all 6 slots - once you have replaced all of them, then you can put the correct ones in the order and slots you want them in, leave the Gene-Bank and it will save them in the correct order.

The issue is when you obtain a new Plasmid it will likely mess them up again but you know how to fix it now, it's still annoying but it only takes a few seconds.
I've tested it and it does work 100%.

Thank you, Dustin for posting the fix.

After many tries i found the order from left to right it as it goes on the machine menu

Up-Down-Left-Right-Northwest-Southwest

...so it was not a glitch.... its just messed up...

I am not sure if I understand these order directions of yours correctly, since in the machine menu for plasmids the slots are arranged in a half-circle formation. Which slots should I assign to "up" and "down", for instance? Can you show me on the screenshot?
