lucky!....I've been downloading at 50kb/s

Fileshack was majorly hosed last night. It kept saying I was in the queue at x position, I’d come back 20 minutes later and it would say the my username/password was bad, even when I tried downloading without logging in.

Fileplanet had it up a little later, and after another long wait, the D/L was around 500KB/s. Awesome game, and it runs semi-decent for me on my old Athon 3200 and 7900GS.

I just played it. It's really good game. Love the graphics, even if it's only in DX9.

I do believe it is DX10 capible. I did the pre-lod off of steam before I went to sleep last night so when I get off work today I can just go home and play.

just purchased it in limited edition as all the other copye were sold out and it turns out i can run it max settings in direct x 9 with no lagg at 1280x960.

they gave incredably high recomendations, i think it was for the direct x 1- version.

the game is amazing.
The first scene when your in the water...OMG, i was amazed as how realistic and beautiful it looked.

I Read the readme file and dl the driver they suggested.
It was 163.44, beta version, but made especially for bioshock.

I did notice a lot of lag sometimes. I just lowered the settings to medium and i was geting FPS between 50-70.

The water and fire was beautiful and crisp. I liked the particle effects very much too. First time I've ever seen a 3d dust cloud. The inside lighting however was very similar to DOOM/PREY, as opposed to the more natural and realistic lighting affects of HL2, (think ravenholm)...

Most amazing feature by far though.... SOUND. oh my GOODNESS. sooo 3-d. sooo crisp and rich. My speakers behind me scared the crap out of me sometimes.

Downloading the demo as I post ^_^ 127-143kb/s. Go FASTER!
