Bioshock Infinite
  5 / 25    
If I recall, Mass Effect 3 had very similar issues and the Helix Mod made that game utterly beautiful to play. If someone could tell me what they did with that game I'd be willing to try to work on a fix for BI. There are some how-to bits on the Helix Mod site, but the info is not super comprehensive. I can edit config files just fine, but I have to know what I am looking for. In the meantime I'll look for dynamic lighting settings (it would be nice to know where too) but I have a feeling they are tied to textures as in Borderlands, but we'll see. EDIT: Ah I see, it doesn't support Direct X 9. Still, my question: any help? There HAS to be a way...

Helixmod only works on DX9 so there is no way to fix this game by the community. I tried to find a way to force the game to run in DX9 mode but was unsuccessful.

Guys! There are any news about the patch for BIOSHOCK Infinite? Great game! A rare event ... Do not want to spoil the impression of 2D images ... But I'm afraid, patience is not enough!

tbh I'm not even sure why the game uses dx11 it doesn't look like dx11 game to begin with. Story apart the visuals are not impressive. If you compare this to like TR/C3 it looks awful and the lack of 3d is a considerable backstep as it can turn average games to great games but well mods at 2k forums thinks that 3d doesn't add anything in terms of visuals :)

Amazing game, i enjoy it a lot. Love the graphics, if it only was in 3D I'd say this would be the best game this year.

I think the art style is brilliant, its certainly not a bad looking game. I just wish it was in 3D, the sky rails would be pure amazing!

the game doesnt look bad but look at the city, all the buildings are using the same textures over and over again, same for the roads... TR at least had some cracks etc and plants looked amazing in that game here its like I got back to 2005, the art style is great but I'm not that impressed with the engine, well UE has been there for a while now, maybe its because the flatness ;p I liked it way more in DMC which I suppose were using UE as well but with the Helix fix was amazing in 3d. I've just launched dishonored which is UE game as well and with Helix fix it looks way better for me than BI.

Good news, everyone! I've tried reaching out to them in about 10 different ways, and I've now heard back from Irrational. This is not an official response, and it could be a totally meaningless palm-off. But it's better than a "sorry, but we can't/won't fix it". This came from an anonymous representative in a private Facebook message. "Hi <name>, we are aware of this issue and are looking into it. Thanks for reaching out." It's not exactly a fix, but we have been heard, and hopefully they really are looking into it (and aren't just palming me off).

Curious if anyone has experimented with the TriDef drivers on a 3D Vision setup. I was looking at the Infinite thread over there, and although it is still broken, they seem to be having less issue and the devs said they are actively looking into it.

I checked for files and forced it through ini editing. Minimum required hardware is dx10 videocard it will tell you. Lol... I was chuckling at you guys for making fun of it because as 3d users playing 2d we feel like we are on the outside looking in. Trying to look for ways to hate it... and I cant play it. I keep finding something else to do instead like mirrors edge. Which I am sure is not even close to as good as Bioshock Infinity...but its 3D. Kind of sucks.
