I swear I've posted this exact thread 50 times at various sites and still have not gotten any solutions.

Whenever I enter the Medical Pavilion, the game crashes when it says "Saving." on the loading screen.

I have disabled absolutely everything in the menu, high-detail shaders, high-detail whatever, EVERYTHING. Nothing works, the game still crashes.

I've reinstalled the game twice. Still doesn't work.

I restarted the game and played up to the same point again. Guess what happened? It crashed.

Nothing works. I want to play this game already!

Someone please help me!

Oh. System specs:
Intel Core 2 2.4 GHz
2.5 GB of RAM
Nvidia GeForce 7950 GT 512 MB
Windows XP SP3

May be a weird question, but do you have a tablet installed?

I and a lot of other people had to disable our tablet drivers to get Bioshock past it's loading screens back when it first came out. True story.

Nope. Just a regular keyboard and mouse.

I think I heard about this bug before, what version of bioshock do you have. Is autosave able to be disabled perhaps?

Version 1.1, the latest version. Autosave cannot be disabled AFAIK

Check all the .ini files, theres a decent chance the setting is just something you have to edit manually.

I think this may be an issue with a game engine, to a point people have been releasing savegames shortly past this point to get around the problem area.

I know others experience the crash, but that says nothing about how to fix it. Well, it does, but I tried those and it doesn't work. Where does it say you need a later save to bypass it?
