Bioshock 2... bugs bugs bugs

[lacktheknack]

I cannot say I have had any of them, what are you playing it on?

Out of curiosity, what console are you playing on? I've got it on the ps3 and haven't encountered any of these glitches so far.

Old man 360.

Haha well theres ur problem.

Console flaming is irreconcilable. Don't do it.

I haven't played, and won't until the second round of patches are released.

I haven't had an issue yet.

Only glitch i've had is the one that stops plasmids working.

I had that one. Luckily, since I was on the PC, I was able to fix it by quick-swapping to another one (when this glitch occurs, you can't change plasmids) and then they work normally again.

I got that music loop bug just now. It was awful, right at the end of Pauper's Drop and it was that incredibly dramatic/scary/tense/adjective 6 second piece. It was at the last 30 minutes of the level too in Sinclair's Hotel, and it really ruined the atmosphere. It was just awful.

I don't think this was a bug, because I experienced it and was wondering the same thing. I think it was trying to create that whole "suspense" thing I keep hearing about. It actually worked pretty well for me cause that music scares me shitless.

I had the stuck-weapon bug a couple of times already, with the machine gun.

At some random point, my machine gun just kept firing on it's own. A friend of mine had it with the drill as well. It really wastes ammo when it catches you off-guard, it stops when you change weapon though.

I emptied all my anti-personnel rounds with that, damned waste, especially on Hard.

It scared me to the same effect for the first 5 minutes but being that the music was only 10 or so seconds long on constant repeat I think it was a bug, especially when it played during my conversaiton with Grace and during non action parts.

Besides after the constant repetition the scared, tension feeling began to feel incredibly forced and made it hard to focus and got a bit annoying in the end.

 

[Arikarin Aririkamei]

Yeah, luckily I have the PC version too, pressing z fixed it for me.
It was annoying sometimes though. Especially when you're trying to quickly switch from one plasmid to the next to keep one step up from the splicers.

EDIT: Damn quote button, this was meant to quote iKiller.

Ah... guess I got lucky there then, I was going to get it on the 360 but the damn thing broke on the day Mass Effect 2 came out (boy was I pissed). Now it only works if I put my desk fan next to it and put it on the highest setting

1. After saving during a Big Sister fight, the screeching string crescendo music remained looping for the entire remainder of the level. Wouldn't have been so bad if it weren't just over a minute long.

Maddening, makes it impossible to focus.

Ah, I believe we had this conversation yesterday.

No no bugs. But at one point I had massive screen Tearing for no reason, But then it never happened again.

Ouch.. my sympathies.

Get it fixed as soon as you can before everyone spoils Mass Effect 2 for you!

Your next post will be 1000. Woop!

The most gamebreaking error i encountered was a typo in the subtitles where the text didnt match the vocals.

 

[squid5580]

I would sometimes just randomly float. Luckily it always happened when it didn't matter. And it didn't cause any harm since I just took a step and was back on the floor.

I also had these lines running down my screen the entire game. Remeber back in the VHS days when your tape would get a bit of dirt on it and make the lines? It was like that. I have tested other games on the same system since it could be a hardware problem but no other games had it.

I didn't have those bugs, but I did have a different one that was really annoying. I played on the PS3 by the way.

Every now and then, if I stepped up onto a raised surface, like a single step, I would start spinning uncontrollably. It tended to happen when there were objects on the raised surface, you know, the standard Rapture detritus. That annoyance was made even worse by the fact that usually 5 splicers were around to take advantage of my compulsive pirouetting.

This wasn't a controller issue either, as it happened with all of my controllers. First thing I checked. I usually had to die for it to stop.
