Hey! I noticed that the keymapping and FoV sections were removed in this release, and that the tool here was removed from Nexus :o

May I ask why? :3

Hey.

I removed some options for various reasons.
I also removed all my mods from nexusmods because of some garbage ridiculous new policies they implemented for mods (you cant remove mods from their site anymore because they reserve the right to use them as they see fit basically). Screw nexusmods and DarkOne.

Regards.

What was the reason for removing the FOV options? Does it cause any game-breaking bugs?

Nice tool, thanks for creating this. Works great with Bioshock 2.

The pcgamingwiki mentions the following:

"The tweaker may not work on DRM-free versions of the game such as those from GOG or Humble Bundle. For these, the author provides a separate version available in the local download, above."

Where is this separate version? I have a DRM free copy of the original Bioshock (from Humble Bundle) and it seems this version is causing issues with my install as its either hanging, or breaking mouse control. I had none of these problems before using this tool.

Hello,

I have never uploaded this tool to any site other than NexusMods and ModDB, and never provided any other version of this tool for DRM-free copies of BioShock.

Whatever that site says, I didn't do it. I don't have a GOG version of BioShock to test, I only own the steam version.

Bisoshock remaster does not support DX10. The original BioShock game released in 2007 did.

Oh the DX10 option is not present in the dropdown. I forgot to add it, maybe I'll add it later.

So what .ini do i use?

is it the one in BioShock Remastered\Build\Final\Default.ini?

Also, I can't tell if the mouse sensitivity changes are working. it would be nice to use decimals in it too.

EDIT: the .ini was in
AppData\Roaming\BioshockHD\Bioshock

Hello,

Yes it's the config file in appdata folder.
The mouse sensitivity field did support decimals, but I took a look at the code and I mistakenly set the edit control to only accept numbers so you can't type the '.' (dot). Thanks for reporting this, I may recompile it and fix it if I can.

I have Bioshock Remastered 1 and 2 on Epic Store, and I've accidentally deleted both Bioshock.ini and Bioshock2SP.ini and verified cache from both of them and I can't recover it. Can you help me?

The game will re-create those files automatically.

Hi there,
I love this tool, it's extremely useful.
Are there any updates as to when FOV will be added back in? If not, I understand.
Thanks!

How are we meant to know which ini file it is we need to select? Kind of an important detail to omit.

If the tool doesn't find it automatically it's either because you haven't run the tool as administrator or your game doesn't save setting files in the default location, in which case it's up to you to know the location of that directory. Once you find it, the file inside is called Settings.ini, you can't miss it.

Hey, I noticed that there is no way to get older versions of this tweaker. Could you please upload them somewhere? For some reason there isn't any tweaker ini to be found in the 1.2 version, and i can't change the directory.

Create a file named BioshockTweaker_Settings.ini, and add the next line to it: wsBioshockSettingsPath=C:\whatever\path\ with whatever path you need. This file should be encoded in UTF-8 (default in any recent text editors), and needs to be in the same directory as the bioshock tweaker executable.

Hi i cant seem to get this to work for Bioshock 1 (non remastered)
here are my paths my config files are:

C:\Users\Daniel\AppData\Roaming\Bioshock

my install path is:

S:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Bioshock\Builds\Release

so i made a ini file named BioshockTweaker_Settings.ini and put inside this file: wsBioshockSettingsPath=C:\Users\Daniel\AppData\Roaming\Bioshock

and then place that into my install folder where the Tweaker exe and game exe are: S:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Bioshock\Builds\Release

but nothing happens i dont see any change ingame, what am i doing wrong ?
