Most of the gamers who bought did so out of nostalgia. These were mostly people whom, like you and I, had probably fallen in love with the twisted yet creative storyline, the gameplay, the big daddies and their little and the watery world of Rapture present in the first Bioshock, but with a bit more detail and polish. However, some players started reporting some weird crashes with this remastered version, either crashing during saves or crashing randomly throughout the game. If these Bioshock Remastered crashes plague you too, then read on, as we detail various fixes to this game-breaking bug.With significant bugs such as this one, the game developers are sure to develop a patch to fix the issue, especially with a game as popular as Bioshock. So these fixes for Bioshock Remastered crashes are hopefully temporally or perhaps for players who are yet to update the game with the patch for whatever reasons. These crashes, on Bioshock Remastered (although some players on Bioshock 2 Remastered report them as well) vary significantly, with the game sometimes just crashing to the desktop, and other going as far as crashing and deleting/corrupting the saves, including at times the manual saves, and resetting custom controls.
However, the following fixes have been reported as fixing some of these Bioshock Remastered crashes. Solution 1: Verify game cacheDespite the crashing in Bioshock Remastered being attributed to game instability and bugs, the issue does not plague everyone. Therefore, it is worth eliminating the possibility that a faulty install is not causing your specific problem. To do this, we can verify the integrity of our Steam installation game files as follows. How to verify game files integrity in Steam. Restart your PC and launch Steam.
Continuing a grand tradition that began when BioShock first came out in 2007, the remastered versions of BioShock 1 and 2 did not emerge from the bathysphere plunge to PC unscathed. On the upside.

Just be patient and let it run to completion.Solution 2: Graphical fixesSome users have found that tweaking their PC’s graphics settings seem to solve the crashing on Bioshock Remastered. The following solutions have been reported to work for some users: Changing the PC’s native resolutionChanging your PC’s resolution might just be the fix to your Bioshock Remastered crashing problems.
I had the game constantly crash almost exactly 45 minutes in while in battle, gathering or not, but no crash in my latest session of about 2 if not 3 hours. The TextureStreamingMemoryLimit ini fix floating around did nothing but after also disabling the steam overlay I was able to play without any problems. I've yet to play since but I'm crossing my fingers hoping it was not simply dumb luck.EDIT: Second crash-less session of 2-3 hours. So I guess the game is not always a crash fest. I monitored my PC in case the game would crash but it still gave me some interesting stats, my GPU averaged only 20% load while one of my Core averaged 75% load. I wonder if the crash is actually CPU related and all those fixes helps because it gives more load to the GPU instead of CPU. (I think the Steam overlay is more CPU heavy.).
I was able to finish the game and Minerva yesterday without any more crashes. The game also used all 4084mb of video memory and not only the 2042 I set with the ini fix so I suspect this ini fix does nothing in this version, at least for some. (Which makes sense since the fix was for directx10 and the game according to requirements uses 11.)Now that I'm done, when I'll have some time, I'll revert the fix and add the overlay back to compare and try to figure out what really make the game crash for me.EDIT: I can confirm that on Windows 10, for me at least, the ini did nothing, the game use all of my 4GB of GDDR5 fix or not. I was not able to reproduce a crash with my end game save and I had no save close to where I kept crashing before to do a quick test.

I managed to complete the game, but for every new fight, i had to reload after it would crash.one way to make it more bearable, is to go back to the non-remastered version. This one barely ever crashes on me, using all the known tweaks. Still stupid to have to go back to this version.
I played the DLC Minerva's Den with it and didn't get a single crash (I tried with the remastered at first to see if the DLC would be better, but nope, it crashed all the time in the remastered). Tested myself without OC using stock clocks and the game still crashed, but lasted 1,5h. Game code is trash.I have no issues with any other game, including some games unstable for most users and not for me, but this one is unplayable due to frequent crashes.Collecting all comments we can sum up:- it crashes on both NVidia and AMD randomly (5min-120min)- no manual fix available (compatibility modes etc.) and INI editing is just placebo (will still randomly crash, maybe a bit less frequently)- crashes also without OC- crashes also with Steam overlay disabledAll of a sudden freezes for a pair of secs while playing for no apparent reason and exits to desktop. Sometimes the video driver crashes so badly it gets re-intialized after a black screen.980m (4GB), Win 10 1803, Nvidia drivers 398.82 WHQL, CPU i7 4860HQ.
