    Just played first hour....
    I'm getting this Persistant Static noise when in Medical Bay.
    My OS is Windows 7 64bit.
    It's like a constant static blip that happens in approx 3 second intervals..it's driving me mad. Didn't happen in the first level. Raging, wanted to play tonight.I'm Running audio through HDMI on T.V.
    And i can't post issue on the GOG forum becuase everytime I try post a message nothing happens..weird.

    Have you tried turning off the music?
    If it turns out to be the issue, there's a high bitrate music mod that may fix it.

    I'd play it without the new character models to be honest. The original aren't that bad, and some of the new ones look terrible.

    Ah, i hated that sound. Those psionic monkeys were a pain in the ass. Hitting them over the head with the wrench always felt satisfying though :p

    Gameplay still holds up really, really well. Only problem I'm having is that playing at 1920x1080 the ui is so small it's making my eyes bleed.

    First time playing this (my machine wouldnt run it when it came out, lol).

    The tutorial keeps talking about pressing Tab to activate some mode, but it does nothing for me... is that a relic of some older UI or am I missing something? Cant get the psyionics to work either, he just puts his arm out with an orb and firing creates a green cloud thing... I'ma bit lost :)

    Tab brings up the inventory etc i think. as far a the psyonics go that cloud thing is you charging it up. I think you have the psi-pull power enabled which pulls objects closer to you. You can change which psi power you've enabled by hitting the tab button and clicking on the arrows in the bottom right corner. Either that or hitting F1 will cycle through your current ones.

    Odd to re-release this game, saying that it's one of my most memorable gaming experiences ever but it had it's day.
    Didn't read too much into it but does it have anything to do with the release of Bioshock Infinite? was Ken Levine involved in the re-release?

    they do some newer games these days. it's a sister company of the guys that made the witcher and witcher 2. their main business is fixing up classic games to work on modern pc's and releasing them without any drm. have a look through their site, if you don't see at least one game there you want to play you're basically dead inside.

    I'm currently enjoying a replay of Neverwinter Nights from them... (It always struck me as sounding like some trashy spin off series from a soapy drama... "During they day they're investment brokers, but this...is Neverwinter Nights" *bowmchikkawaowaoooo*

    I quite like the look of the game as is - yeah it's 'of its time' but that's the way it was made. The look is not without its very distinctive charms. A texture pack I can understand, but a character model
    mod would definitely take something away. It's like the colourisation of black & white film - something is undoubtedly lost in the process.

    Funny really that you should say that as I play through it for the umpteenth time it remains a fantastic game to this day imo. and something this good can never have it's day. It's still difficult even at normal in terms of the rarity of ammo, not being able to max. every skill a la elder scrolls and juggling items in your inventory. Enjoying it as much as I did the first time I played it.

    It certainly hasn't had it's day! I've had it installed constantly for the last 13 years and not only was it massively ahead of it's time then, it still has features many games could learn from today. Who cares about Bioshock Infinite. Hopefully this release (and the Steam one if it happens) will be a massive success and somebody somewhere, with the right influence, will cop on that SS3 needs to be made.
