The first patch for the PC version of Bioshock 2 is now available. The release version of Bioshock 2 is a bit buggier than what we would consider tolerable, so relief to see that 2K has identified some of the problems apparent and released a fix.
The demo is only available via direct download through Games for Windows Live.
Bug fix list
– Fixed accepting a game invite on the Multiplayer Menu via Friend Invite causing a crash.
– Fixed a black screen that would occur minimizing and restoring the game in Windows 7.
– Fixed the ability to adopt or harvest Little Sisters after rebinding the ‘F’ or ‘B’ keys to Zoom, Fire or Fire Plasmid.
– Fixed Big Daddy HUD elements remaining on screen when not appropriate.
– Fixed an issue where the player’s plasmid hand would become unresponsive if they pressed the Next Plasmid key immediately after firing any chargeable plasmid (such as ElectroBolt 2).
– Fixed a potential save file issue.
– Fixed an issue where the resolution would change on its own if entering gameplay in a 16:10 resolution on a native 16:10 monitor.
– Fixed a problem where if you were running the game in a resolution higher than your desktop resolution the mouse cursor wouldn’t be able to go across the whole screen.
– Fixed an issue in Windows 7 where certain Radio messages could become scrambled or broken after defeating a Big Sister if Voice audio had been turned down or muted previously.
– Fixed a crash while playing Dionysus Park on a 32-bit machine.
– Fixed a crash that would occur sometimes loading a previous manual save made before any present QuickSave.
– Fixed a crash while signing in to GFWL when running compatibility mode for XP SP2 while running Vista.
– Fixed an issue where you couldn’t play audio diaries in certain areas.

The new patch reportedly introduces a new multiplayer bug which causes mouse clicks to sometimes not be registered in the game. 2K has acknowledged the new bug and is working on a fix for it, and recommends that multiplayer lovers skip the current patch and wait for an update. The patch does not introduce any single player bugs.
