BioShock 2 Patch Notes

For the past few weeks, we've been working on comprehensive patches to address issues across all three platforms for BioShock 2. Currently, these three patches are in their final stages of testing with Sony and Microsoft and the patch notes have been finalized.

Thank you to everyone who reported issues to us, and for your patience while we corrected the issues. As soon as the patches clear testing (which shouldn't be long!) I'll post again with a date when you'll be able to download these updates.

Until then, here are your patch notes!

Note: There are two important fixes that are already routing through a future patch: For 360 and PS3, we will be adding a color-blind mode for hacking and we will be fixing vending machine sounds for all three platforms.
