    Every time I quit bioshock i get this error but if i play for a long time, when I quit the game freezes with a black screen and when I press crtl-alt-del. my background disappears and so does the taskbar. The game is up-to-date and so are my drivers but it is a torrent. Could that be the issue?

    You cant just tell me if thats the issue? I will buy it if it is, I mainly download torrents because companies dont make demos anymore.

    It probably is the issue.


    Buy Bioshock, it's a good game and it's worth it.

    What if the full game does the same thing? I need to know if pirated games can have issues and be sure that the full version will not. I payed 20$ for TF2 and have went to hell and back then back again to hell then back to earth and must now return to hell because it STILL doesnt work after doing all sorts of stuff.

    What are you running tf2 on? TF2 has some processor bottleneck issues since it only runs on one core, but there are guides online to make it multithreaded and improve fps, while decreasing stability.

    We cannot help you troubleshoot problems with pirated games; it's against the forum rules. Please don't make any more threads on the issue.
