BioShock Widescreen Patch

DaMulta · Aug 28, 2007

A user named Racer_S from the Widescreen Gaming Forums has made a patch that enables widescreen for PC BioShock. There are some reports that this will not work with a 64Bit O/S. This should keep players happy with some true widescreen action, before the official patch is released.

In the screen shot 16:9 shows as more picture area than 16:10. That doesn't makes any sence to me.

If that is a correct diagram then please explain.

Thanks,

DaMulta, In the thread - they report this hack is only good for the demo...

"After you press the star key are you using the other keys to alter the FOV ?
Oh and ... you know this is for the demo at the mo ..."

So with this program one can play demo and retail version with proper resolution (for example 1920x1200) and FOV? Like it was supposed to be in the first place?

Also, does this work with the Steam version of the game?

No matter what though, hell of a job for even trying this.

Click to expand...

Yes.

Are you sure that it doesnt work in the retail game?

Had to look that long and hard until I noticed that thos horizontal lines are just there to lead to aspectratio numbers. First I looked like 4:3 picture wouldn't have anything from the hand

dashed horizontal lines might help (at least me)
