Known Issues

Mouse axes confined to 360° zones

There is still a bug present with Wine that causes you mouse to lock in a fixed 360° arc whilst playing Bioshock. This issue always manifests when you play Bioshock in a Wine Virtual Desktop arrangement. It will manifest occasionally when playing Bioshock in standard Wine arrangement (i.e. non-Virtual Desktop). The symptom is that you are unable to spin you character round on the spot (it will become locked at a fixed angle) or be unable to view your characters feet.

The only work around for  this issue is to enable the mouse warping override:

wine reg.exe ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\DirectInput" "/v" "MouseWarpOverride" "/t" "REG_SZ" "/d" "force"


DirectX 10.x Support

As of Wine version 1.7.53(+) there are tests enabled to see if your graphics hardware supports DirectX 10.x... Unfortunately a significant amount of the DirectX 10.x support has still to be implemented in Wine. The symptom for this issue is that Wine will crash immediately after you launch Bioshock.

The workaround is to disable support for the DirectX Graphics Infrastructure (DXGI) in Wine:

wine reg.exe ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\DllOverrides" "/v" "dxgi" "/t" "REG_SZ" "/d" ""


Changing Game Resolution

In game changing screen resolution can be a bit erratic. The symptom of this is that you change the screen resolution in the game menus and you end up with a "windowed version" of the game running (i.e. smaller than your full monitor real estate). This problem especially manifests when using Linux proprietary graphics drivers.

Option 1 : set game resolution manually before launching

To set the default Bioshock game resolution manually, from a terminal... Run this terminal command (changing first: Xres & Yres - as required):

export Xres=1920
export Yres=1080
sed -i -e '/^\(Fullscreen\|Menu\|Windowed\)Viewport\(X\|Y\)=/{s/X=.*$/X='"${Xres}"'/;s/Y=.*$/Y='"${Yres}"'/}' \
"$( find "${WINEPREFIX:-${HOME}/.wine}/drive_c" -type f -iname "Default.ini" )"

NB: this command won't work if you're using a separate Steam Library directory (external to your WINEPREFIX) to install Bioshock to!


Option 2 : set game resolution in-game

A rather hacky in-game workaround for this issue is to switch Bioshock to windowed mode and then back to full screen mode:

  • mouse Select Windowed Mode ON and your desired Resolution...

Graphics Options
 Resolution:   1920x1080
―――――――――――
 Windowed Mode ON OFF
 ...

  • mouse Then set Windowed Mode OFF...
Graphics Options
 Resolution:  1920x1080
―――――――――――
 Windowed Mode ON OFF
 ...


Audio Garbled or No Audio when using PulseAudio

If you find that your in game audio is garbled or non-existent it may be advisable to try Wine with pulseaudio support. Any supported version of Wine will provide the necessary audio driver support - if the pulseaudio flag was enabled at build time.

Troubleshooting

Bioshock red fog during game play. 

Note: this only seems to be a problem with older nVidia Geforce 7000 series cards.

Fixing this issue will involve changing 2 files in the Bioshock binaries folder with modified versions. Download the following 2 files:

Extract the files and copy the 2 files you extracted from the downloads into the directory:

"${WINEPREFIX}/drive_c/Program Files/2K Games/BioShock/Builds/Release"

... overwriting the files that are already there. Then retest.



Sound isn't working.

This issue could be related to the OpenAL library, you can fix this problem by setting the library openal32 to native (using winecfg).



General Troubleshooting.

  • Verify if your native video driver is installed properly (the 64-bit version of Wine will require the 32-bit libraries of your video driver to be installed - alongside the 64-bit version).
  • Install BioShock, to a separate/clean Wineprefix.
  • Set your Bioshock Wineprefix Windows version to Windows XP (using winecfg).
  • Close BioShock, and reboot Wine by typing wineserver -k.
