Issues unresolved
Key modifiers
- Actions cannot be bound to keys with a modifier (e.g. LShift+RClick). This was possible in the previous Batman games.
Logitech controllers not working
- Users reporting issues with Logitech control mapping and control inversion.[10] Editing config files has no effect.[11]
- For the F310, F510 and F710 set the hardware switch to X and reconnect the controller.[8]
Batman can't move forward to next area
- In rare cases, Batman may be unable to move forward at certain sections of the map. This seems to be most prominent at the gate between the "Derelict Elevator Shaft" and the "Burnley Sewers - East", under the GCPD. It also happens at the Royal Hotel after exiting Joker's Funhouse.[12] You may be able to get around this by repeatedly using the "evade" move (move forward and double tap the "run" button) to somersault over the blocker, or by reloading the map, which may place you in a different area.[13] Enabling V-Sync or limiting the framerate may make it easier to somersault over the obstacle.[14]
Issues fixed
Textures and shadows look blurry and do not load properly
- There are visible bugged shadow artifacts on Batman's cape, along with low res shadows. There are blurry, low res textures on the map which do not load properly.
1.Go to your game Directory : X:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\Batman Arkham Origins\SinglePlayer\BMGame\Config
2.Find BmEngine.ini and Click to it
3.Search for "DetailMode=" and change it to "DetailMode=2" no quote
4.Chance MaxShadowResolution=XXXX to MaxShadowResolution=1120
[15]
Sound bug after entering the GCPD Comms tower
- There seems to be a problem in one level where sounds breaks.
Restart the game after entering detective mode[16] |
---|
Change the audio settings off of "Home Theater" to "Stereo" or "Headphones"[16] |
---|
Low Audio Volume
- Volume level is very soft in game.
- Fix the issue by going to Sound in the Control Panel. On the communications tab, choose "do nothing".[citation needed]
Very low fps in cutscenes
- In some system configurations cutscenes have severe framerate drops.
- Both of these methods force directx10 and, as such, disable directx11 enhancements.
Use -dx10 command line argument[17]
