Bioshock volume up and down are buttons?
So I have a volume wheel on my keyboard and volume up and down buttons on my mouse and for whatever reasons volume up seems to trigger "Map" and volume down triggers "Menu". Anyone else having this problem?

Also, the windows mode sucks in this game does anyone know of a fix to full screen borderless mode?

I have the exact same thing happening to me with regards to volume controls, odd key bindings to be sure, though not really hassled by it.

Besides, pretty sure you can alter the key bindings in the ini file, i appreciate that's not the perfect solution it is however, a solution to the problem which, means it can be sorted with relative ease.
I had the same problem with my Logitech MX Master mouse, the second wheel accidently opened up the journal and esc menu.

Fixed this issue with tweaking User.ini file, located in %APPDATA%\BioshockHD\Bioshock\, simply clearing all button bindings in lines starting with "XENON". Hope this will help somebody, as the recent patch did not fix this issue.

Thank you, this fix worked for the remastered version of Bioshock 2 but also for the first game.

*All* the lines starting with "xenon"? There's like 600+ of those lines! Did you use a regex or manually delete them all?

Here are some methods of using Notepad++ to clear those lines:

For people having this issue who don't want to bother with regex, you can just use Notepad:

XENON_START corresponds to the volume down key
XENON_BACK corresponds to the volume up key

So open user.ini in Notepad and do a find & replace:

"XENON_START=PauseGameAlias" to "XENON_START="
"XENON_BACK=ShowContextHelp" to "XENON_BACK="

This fixed the volume key issue for me.


Edit: This applies to BioShock 1, I haven't got to 2 yet. It sounds like they're set up the same though.

OMG bro you're my hero! It was driving me NUTS that the only way to properly change my volume was through the Shift+Tab menu, I was about to buy a separate keyboard (and wind in the same problem). This saved me from a whole lot of trouble
