The standard versions of BioShock and BioShock 2 worked well on PCs. But, when the BioShock: The Collection remastered versions of the games appeared, they were plagued with problems. Sometimes, they didn’t look great. There were mouse sensitivity issues. And yes, of course there were random crashes. But now, those problems should be mostly gone. The games have been fixed with a patch.
Here are the full BioShock: The Collection patch notes.

On the one hand, it’s great that BioShock: The Collection has been fixed. These are games that shouldn’t have suddenly had issues in this remastered compilation when the stand-alone ones worked fine. On the other, this came out on September 15, and the patch is only coming out October 7. That’s not so good. But hey, at least it’s here now!
