A new patch has today been released for both the PC version (and we assume console versions) of BioShock 2.
All versions receive a variety of multiplayer fixes, while the PC version gets the usual longer list (that's open configurations for you), containing further HUD stretching fixes, a colour blind-friendly hacking system, and a load more.
Note some of these (like the colour blind hacking system and vending machine sounds) will be implemented for console gamers in the future.
See below for the patch notes, and grab the update through PlayStation Network, Xbox LIVE or Games for Windows LIVE.
