So many problems with this game ...

I figured that I would give this game a try since it didn't look bad and was free to play. I had no problems with downloading it or installing it. The problems didn't start until I tried to play it.

First there was no sound after the initial cinematic, to which after surfing the net I did find a solution to, which was to enable compatibility mode for a previous OS. But once the sound was working, the game would consistently freeze on the loading screen and the game would never load. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it with no luck.

My computer specs are as follows, Win7X64, Asus M4A77TD Mainboard, AMD Phenom II X4 965, 8GB Corsair PC3-10600, Asus GeForce GTX 550 Ti w/1Gb ram.

Brand new computer. Everything works fine until I get to the plane crash part and then there is zero sound. All settings check out fine. The opening cinematic sound works but thats it. I see other people are having the same issue, and most others are happily enjoying their download. Whats going on?

Seems Bioshock is incompatable with Windows 8.

At least not withotu some arcane reg-editing and compatability mode hacks.

Giving the game a "1" rating for not providing an updated game client for the most current Windows OS. I understand it's not totally GameFly or BioShock's fault, but they should warn the customer before selling it to us.
