I too experienced random crashes in Bioshock 2 Remastered, especially when gathering ADAM and a lot of enemies enter the scene. I found a way to get rid of this without tinkering with the game itself.

I used a special piece of software to change the hardware configuration when Bioshock 2 runs. It will reduce the number of used CPU cores to 2, and assign as much as hardware resources as possible. Beware, this program is *v*e*r*y* complex, but if you follow this guide you will manage to set it up properly.

• Head over to https://bitsum.com/ (Project Lasso) and download it
• The free version compared to the paid version: https://bitsum.com/howfree/

Install with all the default settings.

Configuration

Ok, if you installed Project Lasso and start it, you will see a ‘Task Manager’ on steroids. Lets configure Bioshock 2 Remastered!

All different options you need are highlighed in the following picture. Configure them one by one.

Performance Mode

Select the following menu:

Click on the 3 dot button and look for your Bioshock exe file. Normally this is located somewhere in C:Program Files (x86)Steamsteamapps, but mine is at

Click the add button:

Finally click the ok button

Vehicle Criticals Rebel Hover Tank: The black coolers on the sides.Empire hover tank: The circle on the back.Droid hover tank: The rear panel.Droid tank (tracked): Rear tread cylinder.Droid Hailfire: Cylinder below the cockpit.Empire AT-RT: The spot between the legs.Droid Spider Walker: Linkage between the legs and body.Empire AT-ST: Back block between the legs.Empire AT-TE: Cylinder along the bottom.Empire AT-AT: Neck between the body and head.Bot Blindspot (Space Assault) Bots tend to lack the ability to think in Space Assault.

Process Priority

Select menu ‘Options’ -> ‘Configure Default CPU Priorities’. Add the Bioshock name in the box and select ‘High’:

Click the ‘Add to List’ button to add it to the list:

Bioshock is now in the list with high prio. Click ‘Ok’:

CPU Affinity

Select menu ‘Options’ -> ‘Configure Default CPU Sffinities’. Add the Bioshock name in the box and select 2 CPU cores you want to use exclusively. I have a 6 core AMD Ryzen 5 1600X processor, each physical core acts as 2 virtual CPUs (hyperthreading). I assume that each ‘pair’ of CPUs is located on the same physical core, so

• core 1 -> CPU 0 and CPU 1
• core 2 -> CPU 2 and CPU 3
• etc

That’s why I selected 2 CPUs that are on different physical cores.

Click the ‘Add to List’ button :

Finally click ‘Ok’:

IO Priority

This is what Lasso shows when actually playing Bioshock.
The Bioshock 2 process appears in the Process window, with the properties we configured!

Change Startup

If you are like me and don’t want Lasso to start with windows, configure it to start manually like this
