| | Re: Bioshock can not Patch to version 1.1 Have you tried running the patch as an administrator? To do this, right click the patch executable, then click "run as administrator". If that's not the case, it might not be directly related to Vista, or you might not be logged in as an account authorized to run the program as administrator. You may also want to make sure the folder that bioshock is located in is not a "read only" type of folder, but how that would have changed I have no clue. Run as administrator should fix the problem.

If you want to get around these problems in the future, when the game asks "Where do you want to install this game", install the game somewhere OTHER than your Program Files folder (like C:\Games\) Folders outside Program Files are unsecure and can be updated without requireing Security Elevation. Good luck -- Joe |
