Bioshock is always buggy. It took me nearly 30 crashes to complete the game. And I had the most compatible drivers, dual core fix and everything.

EDIT: Bioshock crashing like sun rising. Happens everyday, and nothing's special about it. No use posting in the official forums, cuz most of it is flooded by similar threads.

yeah even mine used to crash at certain points and probably after some time of gameplay

try to run in safe graphics setting and disable sound acceleration.

Never crashed a single time out here.BTW I had the ahem version.;) Had turned off some setting called shader detail or something like that.It took off some glory but then it didn't get stuck at the loading point of a save game which was my initial issue.

Ah-ha! quad core! see if intel has released any patch for XP for quad core. It did for my core 2 duo, and the game was more stable after that. Check that in microsoft's website. its not available via windows update, or even on the web update. you have to search and install it manually. its for all applications on windows xp, not just bioshock , so dont search for "bioshock" on M$ site lol.

Yeah mate, Bioshock has some serious errors, it works perfectly in some, and phails in some. So no point really discussing those.
