Copy the contents of the DVD to your hard drive, emulate the Bioshock mini image (download it off gamecopyworld) and run the setup from the hard drive.

I have put the two files into my install folder and entered the last file into the registry... And install still fails when trying to download latest patch.. Please help!!! 
20.Posted by gracz54 (torrent uploader) on Aug 31 2007 at 23:36
Don't put it into the install folder, put it in the game folder when you have installed the game.
23.Posted by Neom on Aug 31 2007 at 23:43
to install you have to execute it normally but when the error cames in you should let the window there press alt+tab and move the bioshock directory to another one then finish the installation and crack it
24.Posted by dcdave78 on Aug 31 2007 at 23:44
Is this the correct order for working install
1) Put "paul.dll" & "Boishock.exe" in your install folder (backup the originals incase)
2) Run secu.eg.reg (importing it into the registry)
3. Copy dvd to folder and emulate the Bioshock mini image from gamecopyworld)
25.Posted by gracz54 (torrent uploader) on Aug 31 2007 at 23:47
The "install folder" refers to where you installed the game in the description
26.Posted by dcdave78 on Aug 31 2007 at 23:48
Thanks for your time & patience with me I'll try I'll let you know if it works..
27.Posted by dcdave78 on Aug 31 2007 at 23:49
Are you allowed to send the link of the Bioshock mini image ????
28.Posted by dcdave78 on Aug 31 2007 at 23:58
Is that when the install error is please put in orginal disk .. Then push ALt tab??? And install to new directory??

mount ISO image and mini image in deamon tools instal, copy crack and play 
30.Posted by gracz54 (torrent uploader) on Sep 01 2007 at 00:08
press alt tab and copy the bioshock game folder somewhere else, and continue with the installation
32.Posted by randomcdg on Sep 01 2007 at 00:12
This is how i got it to work
1.d/load deamon 4.1
2.d/load bioshock multilanguage (6.03gig)
3.mount bioshock image in virtual drive and copy entire contents of virtual drive to folder on desktop
4.d/load mini image from gamecopyworld or mininova
5.mount mini image to vitual drive
6.install game from folder created earlier, this should d/load extra files from internet if working properly
7.d/load crack folder
8.copy bio.exe and paul.dll files to release folder
9. double click on secu.eg file to update registry
10 -phew
- play game
all thanks must go out to all involved but mostly to gracz54 who was the first to post this crack
thx CDG
ps - a bit long winded but worth it in the end
34.Posted by randomcdg on Sep 01 2007 at 00:18

If someone wants to know: The crack also works with the PacSteam Version from FlameBV, although you don´t really need to start PacSteam to launch the game
36.Posted by Justin27 on Sep 01 2007 at 00:37

OMG I LOVE YOU, THE CRACK 100000% WORKS 
42.Posted by NeoRinTinTin on Sep 01 2007 at 01:22
Is the crack meant for the patched or unpatched version?
43.Posted by x119 on Sep 01 2007 at 01:30
I use Daemon tools V4.09HE, and I do the following things:
1)Mount in the first drive the image downloaded from GCW
2)Mount in the second the ISO, and installed the game properly, also it downloaded entirely the extra files from internet.
3)So I could copy the bio.exe and paul.dll files to release folder and open the reg file
But it return me: that an error occur for a module of security request, that the program could not be executed (5000)
May I have to use Daemon Tools 10 pro ??
Thx
44.Posted by chickenboy153 on Sep 01 2007 at 01:45
does it lag for anyone else? when i play the demo it runs nice and smooth but when i play the full version with this crack and everything, it lags pretty badly.
45.Posted by ksolanki on Sep 01 2007 at 01:50
CRACK WORKS GREAT!!!!
1. install the game from the bioshock iso image.
2. when it asks to activate at the end of installation, go to the following location: 'c:\program files\2k games' and change '2k games' to '2k games2'
3. Click finish to finish installation of game.
4. Go to 'C:\Program Files\2K Games2\BioShock\Builds\Release' and copy the cracked files from this torrent in to this folder overwriting the originals.
5. Run the reg file also located in this torrent.
6. Play the game !!!!
THANKS ALOT , WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
46.Posted by x119 on Sep 01 2007 at 01:54
But IT runs with an image mounted?
If yes, what's its name?
47.Posted by dcdave78 on Sep 01 2007 at 02:40
Can you use any other program bsides Daemon tools ?? Is that just for the virtual drive is that all it does???? Can I use alcohol 120?????

Anyone Help? desperate to play it. thank you very much
51.Posted by ron321 on Sep 01 2007 at 03:07
It works fine
I use Daemon tools V4.09
mount mini image on drive 0, ISO image drive 1
Make sure the reg file is also copied to the same directory as the install folder
52.Posted by Mrsash on Sep 01 2007 at 06:26
Guys will this work say if I copy Bioshock from a friend instead of downloading the entire ISO with my carp connection?
thanks
54.Posted by signex on Sep 01 2007 at 07:55
lol why u guys talking sh*t about mini image? u can use the full iso asswell, ok its handy for people that has burned the iso
55.Posted by signex on Sep 01 2007 at 07:58
here's the AA trick if u want it enabled:
change BioShock.exe to R6Vegas_Game.exe and make a short cut on ur background, go to property's and change parameter to this:
"C:\Program Files\2K Games\BioShock\Builds\Release\R6Vegas_Game.exe" -dx9
enjoy playing BioShock with Anti-Aliasing

For everyone who encountered the following Securerom error:
The program cannot be executed (7000)
Check your following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\MountedDevices
Start -> run -> Type regedit -> enter, navigate to the key -> right click on 'MountedDevices' (it is on the left side of the registry editor window) -> Click 'permissions'
If the permission for Administrators full control or read control is denied, uncheck those.
you might have to delete programs like daemon tools, nero and alcohol 120% (also from registry)
please spread the word

So, i don't have a internet connection. Even if i follow the instructions for the crack, i won't be able to run the game?
The installation needs in any case the connection to the net?
Please reply.

72.Posted by YooDaddy on Sep 03 2007 at 15:15
I was able to install the game.
Copied bio and paul to release folder.
When I execute bioshock.exe it starts to load then crashes.
Anyone on the same boat?
73.Posted by BBBD69 on Sep 03 2007 at 20:10
Has anyone found out how to stop the game crashing in Vista yet? I notice a few other people were having the same problem. Game runs for about 10-15 mins and then throws you back to desktop.
Im running Vista Ultimate 32 bit.
Help would be most appreciated as this looks a great game.
74.Posted by blix2006 on Sep 04 2007 at 06:46

75.Posted by tsiftsism on Sep 04 2007 at 09:38
I followed kidmar's instructions but i'm having a problem with the auto patcher downloading.
The patcher tries to download, but after 3 attemps (no #1, 2, 3) i'm getting an error message 'cannot connect to download server. Please check your internet connection'. What does that mean?
I'm writing this message while the auto patcher is running, so i don't have any problem with my internet connection.
I use win vista and i turned off the firewall !!
76.Posted by YooDaddy on Sep 05 2007 at 01:28
Still no luck.
Installed the game but when running the exe.
Crashes out with event log:
Faulting application bioshock.exe, version 1.0.0.0, faulting module bioshock.exe, version 1.0.0.0, fault address 0x00026147.

yeah i got that message once all the installation and cracking was done. but i just rebooted and the game fired up alright. The game didn't install shortcuts in the Start menu though which is weird.
80.Posted by agutgopostal on Sep 06 2007 at 15:41
Are you running the latest beta drivers for your vid card? You need to update everything once in a while. Does your BIOS need it? How about your sound drivers? It's an easy thing to overlook.
I'd go to your rig's manufacturer's website and plug in your model number to look at the latest driver releases. There are actually several important ones that pretty much need to be last month's.
Bioshock is a VERY demanding game and the new Unreal engine is tough on mediocre systems. You may just not have enough RAM too.
Even if it takes you a while, this game is worth it. It's the most stunning visual game I'v ever seen.
81.Posted by Gonzo89 on Sep 07 2007 at 21:28

LOL you really think you can run Bioshock with those specs??
This game requires AT LEAST a 2.6Ghz Processor, and a Pixel Shader 3 Graphics Card (ATI Xxxx or above).
No wonder it wont work.
82.Posted by chilipeppersman on Sep 08 2007 at 00:32
i installed bioshock finally, and then i go to play it, and after about 5 minutes, before you see your first splicer, it says "windows has encountered a problem and needs to close" i encountered the same problem with the demo, i have an amd athlon 64 4000+, nvidia geforce 7600 gs 512mb, 1gig of ram, so i dont know why this isnt working. i have updated everything. PLEASE HELP ANYBODY
83.Posted by Gonzo89 on Sep 08 2007 at 09:41
The reason it isnt working is probably your processor. You need 2.6Ghz and you have 2.4ghz. So upgrade if you wana play. And your RAM is the minimum and will not perform well. To get any results from Bioshock on that PC you need a a new processor and another GB of RAM.

I have Sophos Anti-virus and it has deteced "paul.dll" as a virus. Can anyone prove that this is really not a virus? I noticed that nobody has mentioned this in the fourm.
If not a virus, do you really have to turn off the anti-virus everytime you want to play the game?
The anti-virus keeps blocking the .dll from functioning. I tried to allow the .dll through the mangement software but it just rescans and blocks it again and cannot run the game without turning off the anit-virus. I noticed this with another game previous I had to crack.
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks for your time!

Paul.dll is NOT a virus. It is a file that manipulates other files to stop the activation. Your Anti Virus sees it as malicous because it changes other files, just like viruses,
Id not run your anti virus when playin this game anyway. Slows it down.

Peerguardian is not worth the time. Have you not been reading about media defender? There are literally pages of IP's that these guys use and very few are static. By the time an IP makes a blocklist, it's already changed or a newer one added.

sorry but i really dont know what you all are saying
can anyone hear tell me in english about this torrent without any "mount the second disc(the 57kb)with daemon tool." - this doesnt mean anything to me!!!:
a) does this torrent allow you to just simply play the game or do you need a disc or keygen? (i suspect not as it is only a few mb)
b) I do happen to have a disc of the game my mate lent me but by downloading this torrent can i install it and give the disc back to him without using up any of his keys and being able to play bioshock whenever i want?
c) does it work on quad core vista? (i think i have a wizzy version but i dont know the specifics)
if you can help please do
