Yeah that was dumb. QA must have been asleep at the wheel.

Hey guys...if you haven't gotten the patch yet, or don't have an online GFWL profile, there is a workaround for the widescreen issue that makes a hell of a difference.
Go to Users/Your Name/AppData/Roaming/Bioshock2 and open up user.ini. Bind one of the unused keys to SetFOV 100 (or whatever number you want, default is 75).
I set mine to 100 with my resolution of 1920x1080, and I can see a ton more on the screen now.
I was having an issues where BS2 would crash anytime I tried to sign in to GFWL. I didn't pay $50 for a game just to not be able to play it, so I set up an offline profile and played with that. The first patch fixed the GFWL issue I was having, but if someone that was having the same issue is halfway through the game and doesn't want to install the patch yet, then this method would work for them.
Yeah I would be lying if I said GFWL didn't have issues, though the last couple of updates seems to have smoothed things out with it.
As an aside, I would always prefer GFWL over Steam. Any issues you may be having are probably related to external software - my gaming system has no applications installed, no codecs, no pdf viewer, nothing.
To counter - I've yet to have an issue with Steam.
However I do prefer to purchase hard copies of games as opposed to downloading them through Steam, or any other digital distribution method.
But the Steam based game I have work just fine, even under this fandangled system called Windows 7 x64
Yes but if had the option for a game to come with steam - on disc - or GFWL - on disc - which would you choose?
