Its not a bug or just a demo thing.
Bioshock only supports Shader Model 3.0, which leaves a lot of ATI users out in the cold (like me). This is a decision they made, for god knows what reason since the engine does supports SM2.0, but their game doesn't.
Something I found ridiculous, is that a single programmer
has already found a way to get his demo to play on his SM2.0 card. Granted its not perfect, a lot of textures will be off... But if one fan can do it in a day, why couldn't the studio have put a little more effort into developing it this way.
