Latest BioShock PC Remasters Patch Addresses Several Issues; Patch Notes Detailed

2K has released a new patch for the recent remasters of BioShock and BioShock 2 on PC, which addresses several of the issues that people were complaining about at launch. Some of these resolved issues were ones that plagued both games, while others are specific to each one.

Perhaps the biggest problem had to do with mouse acceleration, as 2K has now added more options to mouse controls to make the experience better. Mouse sensitivity, threshold and buffering have all been added, as well as the mouse’s icon size now being adjustable and scales with the resolution. However, there’s a lot more that has been tweaked with this update, and you can check out the patch notes for each game below.
