Issues unresolved
- Saved game selection screen in Steam GOTY version always queries and prioritizes Cloud synchronized files regardless of Steam settings. If it is indeed disabled or savegames have been externally altered (e.g. GFWL saves conversion), this may create conflicts that lead to general protection faults[5]
- Deleting savegames in Steam GOTY version will still refer to the old GFWL saves path. Together with the previous bug this imply you can only delete them manually while the game is running and Steam Cloud is enabled
Issues fixed
QA_APPROVED_BUILD_OCTOBER_2008 whatever error just after title screen
Trigger Steam Cloud sync conflict[citation needed] |
---|
|
Microsoft.NET Framework error
Uninstall and re-install .NET Framework 4[citation needed] |
---|
Instructions[6] |
---|
|
Keyboard not working
- Sometimes the only thing you can do in-game is pan the camera; the keyboard will not work at all.
Delete your config files[citation needed] |
---|
Notes
|
Game crashes when leaving the Morgue
Disable PhysX[citation needed] |
---|
|
Set lowest resolution[citation needed] |
---|
|
Second cutscene before Joker boss battle (Jack Ryder Show clip) is skipped
- Right before the Joker boss battle at the end of the game, there are 2 cutscenes. The first one (Joker talking to Batman) will play, but the second one (a clip of the Jack Ryder Show) may be skipped.
Restart from Checkpoint[citation needed] |
---|
|
Extreme lag in second Scarecrow level
- Even on an otherwise capable machine this section can run at sub-20 fps.
Turn PhysX to normal or off (the issue occurs on high)[citation needed] |
---|
Notes
|
Failed to initialise NVIDIA PhysX error
- When trying to start the game from the launcher you get an error message that reads: "Failed to initialise NVIDIA PhysX. Please install the latest NVIDIA PhysX system software."
Install the version of PhysX that is included within the game's redist folder[citation needed] |
---|
|
Game doesn't launch after clicking "Play", no error
- After clicking "Play" in the launch menu, the launcher closes and Steam says you are in-game, and the process "ShippingPC-BmGame.exe" is running, but the game doesn't actually launch.
Delete your config files[citation needed] |
---|
Notes
|
PhysX effects are not present in game despite setting being on "normal" or "high"
- Effects such as cloth physics (other than Batman's cape), smoke, and small objects such as papers and leaves are not active despite PhysX being enabled.
Install latest PhysX System Software[citation needed] |
---|
Shadows appear to have a shimmering effect
- This is caused by the SSAO implementation of Ambient Occlusion in the game. See Ambient Occlusion to use HBAO+ instead.
