VipeNess Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 (edited) I've noticed some people having problems downloading the demo from fileplanet.com, not being a subscriber, etc etc. So I created this thread to help out with getting the demo tonight with other sites already hosting the demo file. Below are some links that will help you out get you going. http://www.fileplanet.com/180044/download/BioShock-Demo http://files.filefront.com/BioShock_PC_Dem...;/fileinfo.html http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/bioshock...m_clk=dltopslot http://www.fileshack.com/file.x/10997/BioS...CFQ3YggodshvmFA http://news.softpedia.com/news/PC-BioShock...ere-63149.shtml http://games.softpedia.com/get/Games-Demo/...k-PC-Demo.shtml http://gamedaily.newaol.com/pub/BioShockPC_Demo.zip (someone reported it was fast) http://www.touchstonedevelopmentllc.com/demo/ http://www.gamershell.com/download_20697.shtml http://www.fragland.net/downloads.php?id=15879 "trawg" sent this link in for Austrailia... http://www.ausgamers.com/files/details/html/30227 (*) this download, you must download something... http://www.gwchannel.tv/BioshockDownload/B...ckDownload.html *** if you guys got other links to the demo, just post them and i'll update them in the this first post to help others. Everyone enjoy the demo, and help out if you can. **** you can download the full game off steam service and at midnight, they are suppose to unlock it, weighs in at 8.5g download. If this floats your boat correctly, follow the link below... http://storefront.steampowered.com/v/index...=7670&cc=US New Driver URL's for Demo. Make sure to update your video drivers for your video card, before playing the demo of Bioshock. Would be interesting to see a test on old drivers vs. new drivers and performance wise. Well, anyways, here you go...

12Iceman Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Thanks for the links but unfortunately I can only get one to work (filefront) and only at <100KB/s with an 8 hour estimated time until completion. All of the others either don't work or have queue's ranging from 30min to 60min just to start the download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viper_Maniac Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Is there a checksum or something? I want to make sure the download I have is good. I downloaded it from Gamershell and the md5 checksum I get is 2E73B6C3461E7AC3B2611B1329BAE19B. The .zip file opens up and I can look at everything so I assume its ok but I just want to make sure.

That is not the same checksum I have, but I downloaded from a different site (some sites like to include text files with their site name that changes the md5 sum). P.S. Zip/RAR files have built in checksum checking that occurs when the file unzips. As long as the file unzips properly (without the program spitting out errors), the files should be good.

raskren Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I wouldn't buy this off Steam. Last time I checked it was $60 USD. Circuit City has the game for $40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinRAR unzipped it with zero errors. I guess I'm in the clear. Now I just need to update my vid drivers and I'll be good to go. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
