[If you wanna report an issue/bug]
1. State your OS (I do not support Linux or MacOS). 2. State your game version (I do not support any sort of pirated & repacked version of the game). 3. Provide me a detailed description of the issue/spotted bug (screenshots appreciated).
[Description]
If you played BioShock Remastered, you may noticed that audio quality in pre-recorded cutscenes and video based UI pieces are noticeably lower comparing to the original game. I replaced that very lossy compressed audio streams by much better sources from the original game. Japanese playback partially improved (Plane Sequence and Good Ending tracks were upgraded).
Download the Comparison archive and hear the difference. Also see the sticked post for info about certain changes.
[Install]
1. Download main, optional (if you want) and localization archives. 2. Backup your original 'BinkMovies' folder. 3. Unpack into game main folder (BioShock Remastered).
