Bioshock weird crash

Well first off , i'll admit that's a cracked version ,so i'll start by saying that the game is superb but it has a lot of bugs , or I only I have 'em . When I try to pick up plasmids, or enter the jukebox to buy eves or life potions the screen freezes and all I have left to do is hard reset. Then I reinstalled the game and Voila i could pick up plasmids, when I went to a jukebox again the shit tormented me . So the game is unplayable for me . Pls if you have a solution to my problem tell me . I'm thinking that some drivers may be knocking each other out cold . I have an Asrock 939 dual sata2 and the video bord is Asus 8800gts 320 mb . The drivers i'm using are 163.44 ( i even tried the microsoft fix , it gives better framerates , but the problem perssists) and 6241 to audio ( I use the integrated Realtek shit ) )

Check your "windows Error logs" they might shed some light on the issue.

Look for an error that happened at the same TIME as last in-game crash and post it!

Try this instead;
Turn off "High Detail Shaders" and run it again.
This has solved the problem for others.

is the crack an aulteration of the files, or is it a separate program? a file change shouldn't do much unless it puts in some 16-bit code, but a separate program.... it has to do so little that I would think there would be no reason for it not to be 16 bit

Nope it seems it still does the same error , haven't tried to cut off the high detailed shaders , but if I do I'd probabily just mark the game as buggy

Just buy the game. This sort of stuff is a bit off really, and it's what you should expect. If you buy it you'll even get technical support so why not? As it says on most warez-
If you like it, buy it.

Oh ... well you're right , haxxed games are a bad thing , the only glitch in your statement is that there are a lot more users who experience this problem and they have an original copy , so if i would have bought the game I would probabily be very mad by now
