As I journey through rapture I will look back on that splicer that snuck up behind me oh so silently. What was going through his mind? What did he hope to accomplish? Perhaps did he too just wanted that plasmid, maybe he was prepared to trade me for it. Maybe he just wanted change for the vending machine because it had those chips he liked. Or maybe he was a crazy fuck that deserved the bullet he got. I'll never know. |
Haha. That's funny. I had the same happen to me. I think I was buying something at a vending machine, then I turned around and boom-a splicer standing right there, just looking. The only thing is, it kinda dumbfounded me so I just sat there wondering why he was just staring at me. Then he shot me...hah. Those guys are funny, how unpredictable they are sometimes.

Well I got it registered now, but not until talking with securom support through email, but they gave me a code which overrides the internet activation thing, so I'm a happy camper now.

As I posted a few pages back, there is offline activation.

| Quote: | We have been reading and listening to your frustrations over SecuROM, PC activation problems, and technical support issues since BioShock launched on Tuesday, and we've devised a plan to help.
Starting immediately, we will be upping the activation count to a 5 by 5 plan. We will be raising the maximum amount of computers a user can have BioShock installed on simultaneously from 2 to 5, and allowing a user to reinstall BioShock on each of those computers from 3 times to 5 times. Also, we have in the works a revoke tool which you will be able to run on your machine if you want to free up that key and move it to to another computer (this works very much like Steam or iTunes system). We are also working with SecuROM and 2K customer service, so that when you do need to call in support problems, you get answers to your questions faster, without much waiting or being bounced around. SecuROM has been given much more autonomy to help fix your problems quickly and effectively. I am personally sorry for anyone who got bounced around in the past couple days (I even think I contributed to this problem) and we're going to make sure that does not happen in the future.
As for other technical issues, we are bringing on a team of tech support that will be on the 2K forums 24/7 to help people resolve their technical issues. Our QA guys are in the offices and on the forums, too, reproducing issues and looking for workarounds and compiling information that they can put towards making you a patch and updating the knowledge base.
Also, we are aware that our activation server went down last night, stopping some of you from finishing your installs. The server is up and running now and we have corrected the problem that caused that crash.
Finally, we have released a FAQ, which you can view in full below (and will also be posted on the 2K Forums in the Technical Support area) that will help clear up a lot of questions and misinformation that has been floating around about SecuROM and PC activation.
And as for widescreen, we also want to say we completely understand a user's desire to augment their FOV. BioShock is a harrowing experience, but we don't want anyone to feel limited (or motion sick!). So we are in the process of working on an official PC patch to give widescreen PC users a choice to expand their horizontal FOV, and are investigating creating a similar update for the 360.
And finally, I want to personally congratulate Racer_S from the Widescreen Gaming Forums, and his awesome user patch to expand the widescreen FOV in BioShock. I'm currently tracking him down via email, but hopefully, he'll accept my gratitude, and maybe an Nvidia 8800 to boot. |

Playing at night isn't that bad. Playing when you have been awake for days and at night. Thats a whole new kind of creepy. I'm kinda tempted to stay awake and play all day just to see how messed up it turns out. I think sleep deprevation will only improve the game. Or drive you mad. I'll let you know which one it is.

and look at the including crack readme:
ok as far as i know this does work, in xp 64bit...
install the game....
go into
C:\Program Files (x86)\2K Games\BioShock\Builds\Release
or
C:\Program Files\2K Games\BioShock\Builds\Release
Rename the Bioshock.exe"to Bioshock_BK.exe or bioshockbk.exe or bioshock.bak "does not matter this is for backup purposes only"
Copy the BioShock.exe that is included in this crack folder into your
C:\Program Files (x86)\2K Games\BioShock\Builds\Release
or
C:\Program Files\2K Games\BioShock\Builds\Release
Run the EXE and your set to go have fun if this does not work just wait for a nocd crack from
www.gamecopyworld.com
or
www.megagames.com under the game fixes selection.
Enjoy
This was attached to a previous "scene release" aswell which was either fake or non-working... so please check your stuff before spurting out nonsense!

I must ask, why only 64bit?
