If the game suddenly stops working, try backing up and clearing out your save folder which is located at "C:\Users\Penn\Documents\Bioshock\SaveGames\" It took me longer than I'm willing to admit to figure that out. I'm glad this info was able to help some people! I would just like to add that I've discovered another technical issue that prevents the game from launching: corrupt save files. Hopefully you still have it because I can't help you there. The game will launch and ask for your product key. Put the copied folder back where the original directory used to be and launch the executable that you placed in the "release" folder. You will notice that the installer deleted the original Bioshock directory. Now go back to the installer and cancel the auto updater and the installation will get aborted. Then, copy the Bioshock folder and put it somewhere else on your system like your desktop. Go ahead and extract the patch into the Bioshock/builds/release directory. What you have to do is Alt Tab out of the installation window BEFORE canceling the auto updater. Now the second problem is that the installer will cancel the install once you exit the dialogue box.
