Download this torrent2.Posted by knightCapten on Aug 23 2007 at 08:50
the other torrens are at 6 gb 
3.Posted by CerbX on Aug 23 2007 at 09:24
Heh, It's Real. I dunno about passwords, but I do know its smaller because it is a GCF file, you require the cracked steam client, PacSteam. The reason GCF files are smaller, it's because Steam versions of publicly released games require less to run. So this is probably in a single language, probably english. Anyways, sit back, its got a fast download speed...It dies at like 3.8% though. 1 seed, 109 leechers.

If more people manages to download this and manages to get this work, please report back here.
Thnx
7.Posted by dainese46 on Aug 23 2007 at 14:16
Yeah, that would be great if someone could post here if this is worth of downloading...I´m downloading now for 5 hours and I´m on 8.9% 
8.Posted by FlameBV (torrent uploader) on Aug 23 2007 at 15:21
Hi guys. It's worth downloading, my friend Matt ripped it for my group, no passwords, just hold on tight. It will be a few days before we get to 100 seeders or so.
It is English only, but it's better than the DVD in my opinion.
9.Posted by FlameBV (torrent uploader) on Aug 23 2007 at 15:28
It's not a fake, don't worry about that.
10.Posted by deedst on Aug 23 2007 at 16:02
i'll help with the seeding most definitely once got. (Leeches are bad) 
Please, post how you got it to work.
11.Posted by zerus on Aug 23 2007 at 16:10
Is the real game or fake? please answer
Es el juego de verdad o es un puto fake ?
12.Posted by voodoochile on Aug 23 2007 at 16:21
Its probably real. But that doesn't mean you can play it.
14.Posted by Rizno on Aug 23 2007 at 16:28
Thanks FlameBV. Hopefully i can get this all downloaded soon enough.
To everyone else, it seems real enough to me.. so far. ;P
17.Posted by Rizno on Aug 23 2007 at 16:59
Yes, wait for it to spread to other people so they can seed. Don't expect this to be done in 6 hours or so. 
18.Posted by Da_Junka on Aug 23 2007 at 18:21
Maybe they have removed all the graphics and sound so as to keep the download small.
19.Posted by FlameBV (torrent uploader) on Aug 23 2007 at 18:31
It's a GCF/NCF version, made for Steam. If you download PacSteam (cracked Steam) as the NFO says and install it, it will work 
. WE didn't remove anything, this is the full game.
Quote from CerbX, who described this well: "its smaller because it is a GCF file, you require the cracked steam client, PacSteam. The reason GCF files are smaller, it's because Steam versions of publicly released games require less to run. So this is probably in a single language, probably english."
Enjoy 
21.Posted by FlameBV (torrent uploader) on Aug 23 2007 at 19:07
I honestly don't know. Other members of the group are managing the seeding. All I know is that they are seeding 24/7, and I also seed a lot too.
22.Posted by avirox on Aug 23 2007 at 19:08
Hey FlameBV thanks a lot for this! Would it be possible for you to upload a seperate torrent though with just the GCF, bioshock.exe, and paul.dll? I ask this because many already have the non-steam version installed which can't be activated. However, I noticed that the rars contain many of the same files as this release - so possibly all we'd need is the GCF with those 2 files and copy over our ISO installed version to steamapps. It would make things a lot faster.
23.Posted by avirox on Aug 23 2007 at 19:33
- Err actually, we would need the NCFs too. I already got bioshock.exe and paul.dll from bioshock.part001.rar but it won't register in (pac)steam without the NCF and GCF files which are located in part58.rar (and maybe a rar or 2 before it, cant tell).
24.Posted by najk373 on Aug 23 2007 at 19:42
Seems great, and at my current pace I will probably be able to seed this early tomorrow morning 
26.Posted by avirox on Aug 23 2007 at 19:55
yes but I'm saying that the GCF and NCF files would be all we need if we already had the iso version installed. A 25~mb download really - just the files in bioshock.part058.rar.
31.Posted by Dark_Element on Aug 23 2007 at 20:38
If you want more speed
Then tell every one with less then 50KB/s upload
to stop downloading
there are 1600 leechers
and lest say 10 seeders
there is no way thats enough
even if they all had a 100Mbit connection
32.Posted by Dark_Element on Aug 23 2007 at 20:49
and to the seeders
did you activate the "super seeding" option?
That way
insted of sending the same pieces again and again
you will send different pieces to different people
so insted of 10 seeders to all pieces
each piece will have it's own seeders
and the speed of downloading increase

34.Posted by FlameBV (torrent uploader) on Aug 23 2007 at 21:15
It hasn't been added to demonoid yet. I'm going to start seeding what I have while Matt resets.
36.Posted by CerbX on Aug 23 2007 at 21:16
I Released This On The PacSteam Official Forums, So it SHOULD speed up sooner than it would if it was contained to just this and other torrent sites..
Also, torrents that use the public demonoid tracker always have that text file.
~CerbX
Oh and FlameBV, Thanks Again.
38.Posted by CerbX on Aug 23 2007 at 21:26
Be patient. As FlameBV said, it'll take a couple days to build up. Unless you want to go download the DVD/D2D version and wait a couple weeks for a crack

39.Posted by nudels on Aug 23 2007 at 21:33
"it'll take a couple days to build up" too build up what?
40.Posted by Munashiimaru on Aug 23 2007 at 21:39
Just make sure it's not near your eyes when it has it's happy ending. They mean when there's a solid base of seeders so you don't hit a wall like I went from 300KB/s to .5 when I got to 19ish% because I have the same amount everyone else has except the 1 or 2 seeders.
41.Posted by Airwalk91 on Aug 23 2007 at 21:44
Seems everyone is stuck at 15% please can we get 100% seeders to join in! 
45.Posted by irelevent on Aug 23 2007 at 22:34
the maker of this should have given this to more ppl before this went public so maybe 10 ppl seed instead of 1 or 0?
46.Posted by sycosis on Aug 23 2007 at 23:05
We'll get it until morning, don't worry. I can help seed parts of it too, got 10mbit upload. If i could just get your attention on msn, you could maybe send me 5-6 parts of the torrent, and i could seed at 1300kB/s.
48.Posted by FlameBV (torrent uploader) on Aug 23 2007 at 23:27
IT IS NOT DEAD. I'm sorry about slow seeding, but this is ready to play without a crack . No need for a crack. Enjoy !
49.Posted by kkorky on Aug 23 2007 at 23:29
as i said mate-if im wrong(which i hope i am)-i take it back and apologise. just making sure!
50.Posted by manscp on Aug 23 2007 at 23:30
FlameBV, any chance you could get a few more people to seed?
51.Posted by 68_Z on Aug 23 2007 at 23:33
to Cerbx and FlameBV
i dont have the SteamApps file but i have the steamapps file
is this a problem
i reached 10.5 im gonna tell you guys after i finshing the game
but i feel that it will work like a charm
thank FlameBV
53.Posted by gamemaster on Aug 23 2007 at 23:57
1. I have a legal steam-account, is that a problem????
2. do you need internet-connection for install?????
I want to know this before I download and seed you guys
55.Posted by FlameBV (torrent uploader) on Aug 24 2007 at 00:17
1 - Make a new, blank Steam account. You can use legal Steam accounts on normal Steam, but keep PacSteam seperate. If they catch you, they disable your account, but nothing else.
2 - Nope. Just need PacSteam.
56.Posted by sycosis on Aug 24 2007 at 00:24
Pacsteam is a program where you can play make a steam profile which has "bought" all the games, and you can play them. Some works online, some don't. You can't download the gamefiles from steam (it says the servers are overloaded or something), so you have to get the files from elsewhere. Several games has been released this way earlier (HL2, Sin Episodes etc..).
57.Posted by gamemaster on Aug 24 2007 at 00:27
thank you FlameBV
I got a superspeed internet connection and keep seeding all week
to help you guys.
FOR THE REST: SEED SEED SEED

I just found out that this version also needs a crack. However, the crack for this release will be out soon (probably before DVD Crack), according to pAcmAn. I'm a little ticked myself, but pAcmAn said not to worry and that he will handle it.
59.Posted by Phil19 on Aug 24 2007 at 02:50
well i soared to 19.6% at 900 kb/s but now im stuck there with everyone else. although there are a few people that are in the 20s.
60.Posted by Xare on Aug 24 2007 at 03:01
Iam hearing that this has no crack and wont work even /w pacsteam
62.Posted by FlameBV (torrent uploader) on Aug 24 2007 at 04:15
I thought it had been tried, but Matt had reformatted right before he got this. He just reinstalled everything and tried it. He didn't tell me .
But the crack will be released as a seperate PROPER as soon as I get it.
63.Posted by mattlandry on Aug 24 2007 at 04:29
someone please try the Direct to drive crack on it and see if that works?btw I'm at 20.7% and it was going 180kb/s before that and it now just stopped abruptly...plz seed!
64.Posted by LZeppelinJ0 on Aug 24 2007 at 06:26
I dunno y'alls. Judging by the reviews and everything my friends have said about this game, it might be worth just buying the game. Who knows maybe one day the software will be worth something (yea right.)
65.Posted by crystal_clear on Aug 24 2007 at 07:40
it s 1 seeder only and he s not online , doubt it would be a "she" , everybody is stuck at 23.8 % and that really sucx u know... giving up and dloading the demo right now , gonna buy it throug steam network if it runs smooth on my year 2006 PC
66.Posted by Airwalk91 on Aug 24 2007 at 08:43
this is dead again i got to 27.4% crazy seeds need to be on for like a day fully for it gets going.. 
70.Posted by psykii on Aug 24 2007 at 12:44
What a messy release this is...
Not even tested, not being super seeded (hence everyone at same %) and the number of seeders to go public with this is just ridiculous for a huge release, specially when you claim the only 'working' version out there.
Poor job guys! I'm off to the store to buy a copy of this great game, it's certainly worth it!
71.Posted by CrossY on Aug 24 2007 at 14:18
Pretty much stuck on 28.4%, highest seeder on 28.6% (could've sworn there was someone with 29.3% or something just a second ago)...
If this realy does work, start seeding!
74.Posted by FlameBV (torrent uploader) on Aug 24 2007 at 15:10
We arew working on a crack. Please just wait. The seeders are seeding the best they can and you will slowly go higher. Just wait.

i think you have some issues you have to work out
but you're right, who gives a rats S if someone buys the game....
BTW
played the DEMO and the game looks great.
darn you 2k Games, darn you all to heck ! (just kidding guys, you're gr8)

gg, how can u even say it works without even testin it? false claim ftw.
77.Posted by drobek on Aug 24 2007 at 15:58
iam at 29,1%....i try copy this http://www.mininova.org/tor/850666 to the steamapps folder and didn´t work so i try download this but its too slow, wright sometimes iam at 500kb/s but mostly at 0kb/s
80.Posted by tsahiy on Aug 24 2007 at 16:59
so much for "just DL and play" FLAMEBV
1. no one can even download this file
2. the when you finish downloading it, it wont even work !
why post it as a working tested game if its not ?!
81.Posted by drobek on Aug 24 2007 at 17:05
superseeding is max speed of upload? i set it at 115kb/s and before i have nolimit upload...its same. KUKABAZUKA1 what with that dll?
82.Posted by nitesamba on Aug 24 2007 at 17:16
everybody is stuck on around 32%....this torrent will never make any progress unless some people start superseeding. plz share the wealth
84.Posted by CrossY on Aug 24 2007 at 17:34
Superseed depends on the torrent client you use. Just search your clients FAQ and it should be in there somewhere.
For uTorrent, doubleclick the torrent and enable 'Initial seeding'.
85.Posted by tsahiy on Aug 24 2007 at 17:40
should i superseed only after DL is done or can i do it when ever i want ?
i have the Azureus client, how do i superseed there ?
tnx
86.Posted by Rizno on Aug 24 2007 at 18:12
I think someone has super seed on now. ;P I'm getting 30+Kb/s and have been for quite some time. Not that it really matters until we get a crack.. 
87.Posted by sullen_penguin on Aug 24 2007 at 18:13
Hey guys im downloading this but it seems its only 34% available, i've superseed on to help out and I can let it run all night to help out once its done, if everyone else can superseed it will help - 50/60 kB/s upload atm
88.Posted by hpprinter100 on Aug 24 2007 at 18:29
this is stupid the speed is great but the health is stuck on 34% so u cant get the files!

92.Posted by FlameBV (torrent uploader) on Aug 24 2007 at 19:01
It's being superseeded, there is a seeder with 100% but he isn't connected to everyone
93.Posted by CrossY on Aug 24 2007 at 19:05
#100: You can do it any time, only it will reconnect to peers when you do so. Not that it realy matters currently with everyone on the same %.
94.Posted by rrotkiv on Aug 24 2007 at 19:10
it will be funny if a crack shows up before anyone finished this torrent
96.Posted by Rizno on Aug 24 2007 at 19:52
FlameBV, i was told on Demonoid that Pacman isn't working on the crack because he refuses to download a 6.0GB game? Is that bull or is someone else working on a patch for this version?
97.Posted by Mdk on Aug 24 2007 at 21:17
Great news there, #118
So we don't even need a cracked exe anymore?
If I was home I could try checking into that .dll myself, but either you wait 2 more days (with no guarantees) or hope someone else gets his hands on that

He said the guy who modified it forgot the line that starts the game..
Probably something like
if(activation==true)
{
lol,forgot to add "launchbioshock();" here
}
As soon as someone adds that part we should be settled, if no other problems show up
102.Posted by CristoWall on Aug 24 2007 at 22:17
Ok all i started the Super-Seeding...
more ppl need to that
im 32.4%
Cmon all, seed!!!
Make people be happy, super seed now
104.Posted by sullen_penguin on Aug 24 2007 at 22:50
looks like we are in for the long haul on this one, im super seeding away for hours now but stuck at 38.9% ish I'm sure we will get there in the end lol
106.Posted by Mdk on Aug 24 2007 at 23:00
It's not the peers who have to superseed, cause whoever starts the DL now will just get the same 38.7% we all have
If the seed superseeded, instead, we could have people with 40% of different parts than us adding up to our 38% for a grand total of 78% (random numbers, you know)
107.Posted by CristoWall on Aug 24 2007 at 23:10
Cmon all,
we need more superseeds....
im stuck at 38.7
Everybody needs to participate

pAcmAn decided not to work on it. #117 tells you that.
109.Posted by CristoWall on Aug 24 2007 at 23:17
Do u guys think that this crack may work with another bioshock torrent(no Pacsteam)or its only made for the pacsteam version?
110.Posted by Amana on Aug 24 2007 at 23:19
Ok thx Flame. ANd now: do we need or not a crack to run the game via pacsteam ?
111.Posted by sullen_penguin on Aug 24 2007 at 23:31
Flame thanks for the updates btw Also I was of the understanding we dont need a crack for the pacsteam version just follow the instructions at the top of these posts about creating a fake steam account via pacsteam and its all good to go? I'm getting worried about the seeds now though 0(0) showing for me in uTorrent
112.Posted by Mdk on Aug 25 2007 at 00:00
Will we ever get an eventual extra language pack for this, since it's been released in Europe as well?
I for sure don't have a problem with English, as you can tell, but some friends of mine would rather play it in a language they'd understand
114.Posted by FlameBV (torrent uploader) on Aug 25 2007 at 00:08
It has been released in Europe, but we only have English version of game :p.

well its pretty sad that you guys dont have superseeding on which is causing it to progress so slowly.. but ultimately it doesnt matter if there isnt even a crack yet.. im still getting this since its atleast small enough to burn.. i just hope this version gets cracked before/same time as the ISO version..
129.Posted by FlameBV (torrent uploader) on Aug 25 2007 at 05:32
We do have super seeding on >.<. Omg, people keep saying we don't but we DO!
The seeder was seeding it from a hotel room, but now he got home and his net at home is a LOT faster. The seeding downtime was when he was on the plane and now that he's home he's seeding from his server PC.

Flame you are doing a good thing for us but before uploading a game claiming that it works you should at least be sure of that. After some days you instead said that it needed a crack. Honestly I don't believe you are close to have to crack and anyway not before a professional pirates group.
141.Posted by mattlandry on Aug 25 2007 at 10:56
# 170 - my DL is going fine now and I'm at 60.5%

Well, atleast we know that we're going to get it. Been talking to FlameBV and Matt on xfire (matt is the one that seeds), and they're doing everything to get some upload speed.. They even sent me a few of the packages to improve ratio a little.. (5% lol).

68% and now 0.0kB/s
Upload still happily going at 100kB/s though
156.Posted by mack_jigger (moderator) on Aug 25 2007 at 15:45
is that because of superseeding?
The program puts everyone at the same % amount and sends only parts (already uploaded to everyone) to new leechers only. I've seen it happens a lot and never really found the real answer.
157.Posted by 7te on Aug 25 2007 at 15:52
Ahh might be that. It has just started up again.
I guess the reason behind that is so it puts less stress on the initial seeders and gets everyone seeding each other.

200. I don't think i do too it won't update. on the image i have.
164.Posted by Mdk on Aug 25 2007 at 18:08
Flame, I guess that happens cause you're only connected to peers that already have the same 70% so even if you send part A to mr X and part B to mr Y now,you're just splitting the upload speed among them and sending the same amount of data after all,there's so many peers at the same percentage that,by the time someone gets a new part,everybody has it
BTW,can't you possibly use the modified paul.dll with this steam version?
I tried steam's with the DVD release and it gives a "Cannot contact steam for the serial" error but perhaps you can make it work the other way around,have bioshock.exe believe it should get the activation like the DVD version
That way you could save some time,since that .dll is pretty much done (and I don't get why nobody finished that job)

''This is a mini image, much like you'd find on gamecopyworld for various games to pass the disc check. This alone isn't going to make the current downloaded .iso work, but this knocks out the problem with the securom check after the activation process. (Edit: oook, it's not so "mini" after all... I'd much rather have a real mini image but this'll have to do, despite it taking as much space as the full image.)''
168.Posted by hub3rtu2 on Aug 25 2007 at 20:25
it don't work :/ (for me) i tried and still securom block updating :/ what im doing wrong eh? :/
170.Posted by hub3rtu2 on Aug 25 2007 at 20:29
ok, im trying this:
So if you have already downloaded one of the images (the actual 6gig download). Extract the iso to your harddrive, and mount this maxi mini image in daemon tools. Run the setup.exe that you just extracted to your hard drive. With the maxi image mounted, It will allow you to install the game fully, with no errors. Just to verify, do not attempt to install from the maxi image. You are only mounting it. Install from the iso you extracted to your hard drive.
171.Posted by aaadmiral on Aug 25 2007 at 20:32

#246 -- LOL, It is turning into a message board. I like it though, it's fun. I personally thought that we should release this because no had releadsed anything like it, and now it's getting a LOT of attention. We usually don't release BT (this is the third release we have released on BT since 2002 and the first time since I stepped down from leading FLAME) but since this is so big, we did. But after this catastrophe, it'll be a while.
Also, what percent is everyone at? I'm a little behind you guys but with my speed it will take a matter of 30 minutes to catch up.

A keygen will do nothing. It is online activation. You need to crack the EXE .

But I'm able to bypass the Securom thing, they need a working Keygen that the Ubisoft thing will accept, wouldn't that work?

Or I guess a cracked .EXE that bypasses all activation, etc lol.

259.Posted by Takenover83 on Aug 26 2007 at 16:04
Don't get to excited. This release is no different then the other Bioshock releases. You still can not play it.
There was alot of confusion with the creator of the torrent, saying this was cracked/playable, and that ended up being a bunch of bs (which he owned up to).
260.Posted by justixia on Aug 26 2007 at 16:06
So this one is NOT playable then....LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
267.Posted by shadowmansm on Aug 26 2007 at 16:20
Yeah, I understand that it does not work YET but I am sure, soon from now it will and I have the original Bioshock and the PacSteam Bioshock so one of them is going to eventually work

There is no activation crack yet? That is why it's not working. You have to give people time to crack things they can't just do it in 5 minutes. This game also uses the new starforce protection and that is why it is taking awhile.

That is correct!! Crack is working, I've tested it myself and am now beyond the demo part
The crack also makes this release non-steam dependent so you can just extract, crack and play!
JOY!!!
Note: On loading times It looks like it hungs (in window mode the OS even tells you the app is not responding) but you leave it alone and in a while it loads correctly... although it is kinda slow the loading, is it just me?
