Batman: Arkham Asylum - Advanced Launcher

This custom launcher replaces the original one and includes all the features from the vanilla launcher along with common tweaks and bug fixes already covered on this page and more. Also supports more advanced tweaks to improve performance and visual fidelity beyond what the vanilla launcher allows.

Supports Steam GOTY, Epic Games Store GOTY and GOG GOTY releases.

A PCGamingWiki mirror of the launcher binary is available.

The save subfolder is named with a long string of letters and numbers.

For non-GOTY version, path for both configuration files and save data start with %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Eidos\Batman Arkham Asylum\ instead.

For converting saves from one version to another, see Save game data migration.

Steam save files are non-compatible with the Epic Games store version of the game.

Steam saves are compatible with the GOG version, simply copy the save files from the Steam location to the GOG save data location.^[5]

Convert Games for Windows - LIVE to Steam

Save before editing

Modified save

Prepare to replace saves^{[citation needed]}
Start the game According to the name of your GFWL saves, make sure the corresponding slot is also occupied in-game Close game and Steam Delete `<Steam-folder>\userdata\<user-id>\35140\remotecache.vdf`

Use GFWL-stripper^{[citation needed]}

Remove old GFWL file header^[6]
Go to GFWL save game data location. Open your desired `save#.sgd` with a hex editor such as HxD. Search for the first hex `00 00 01` instance not located in the initial part of the file where all values start with 0 Delete everything before this. Save files over the corresponding ones in `<Steam-folder>\userdata\<user-id>\35140\remote\`

Convert Xbox 360 to Epic Games Store

"0x" refers to hexadecimal values e.g. 0x10 means "the hexadecimal value 10 (decimal 16) NOT decimal 10".

Manual conversion with hex editor
Make a note of the save(s) you want to use on the PC version as above i.e. save 0, 1, 2, and/or 3 Insert a USB flashdrive into your Xbox360 Use your Xbox360 Settings menu to copy your Arkham Asylum savegames to the drive Complete transfer of files to your PC - there will be a "Content" folder on your USB drive, and your saves will be in it, search for the files `save0.sgd`, `save1.sgd` etc depending on which you want to convert Open the save file you want to transfer in your hex editor Go to offset `0xD000`, or search for the first occurence of `0x9E2A83` - I have only seen this near position `0xD000` in my saves, but it may vary. Delete everything before position `0xD000` You should end up with a file starting with `0x00 0x00 0x01` Now scroll down the file until you hit a big block of 0x00s. How far you have to scroll depends on how much is in your savegame. It will be a big block, you can tell it's the right block because before it you'll see lots of game related words like Harpoon Gun, Objective, but afterwards just gibberish Look at the top of the of block of 00s and find the last `0x11` byte, this is the "end" of the real data. You may have 9 or so bytes of `0x00` before it Delete everything AFTER the `0x11` so that the `0x11` is now the last byte in the file Now make a note of the offset of the `0x11` - this is `Value A`. Go back to the start of the file. Insert 4 bytes of `00 00 00 00` at the start. Your file will now begin `00 00 00 00 00 00 01`... You now will change the 3rd byte. If `value A` is less than 0x10000 - it will be `01` i.e. your file will start `00 00 01 00`. If `value A` is more than 0x10000 - it will be `02` i.e. your file starts `00 00 02 00`. And presumably onwards to bigger depending on save length e.g. if A > 0x20000 use 03 and so on... In actual fact, I've tested this up to 09 - it's just important that it's more than 1 (or rather, more than the number of 0x10000 blocks length that your savegame is) - it seems to be just an initialisation size for some sort of uncompression buffer so needs to be at least big enough. Save your changes. Copy your edited save into the correct folder as documented above, or in MrJAG's video on Youtube - TUTORIAL Batman Arkham How To Install SaveGames

Manual conversion with hex editor

Make a note of the save(s) you want to use on the PC version as above i.e. save 0, 1, 2, and/or 3
Insert a USB flashdrive into your Xbox360
Use your Xbox360 Settings menu to copy your Arkham Asylum savegames to the drive
Complete transfer of files to your PC - there will be a "Content" folder on your USB drive, and your saves will be in it, search for the files save0.sgd, save1.sgd etc depending on which you want to convert
Open the save file you want to transfer in your hex editor
Go to offset 0xD000, or search for the first occurence of 0x9E2A83 - I have only seen this near position 0xD000 in my saves, but it may vary.
Delete everything before position 0xD000
You should end up with a file starting with 0x00 0x00 0x01
Now scroll down the file until you hit a big block of 0x00s. How far you have to scroll depends on how much is in your savegame. It will be a big block, you can tell it's the right block because before it you'll see lots of game related words like Harpoon Gun, Objective, but afterwards just gibberish
Look at the top of the of block of 00s and find the last 0x11 byte, this is the "end" of the real data. You may have 9 or so bytes of 0x00 before it
Delete everything AFTER the 0x11 so that the 0x11 is now the last byte in the file
Now make a note of the offset of the 0x11 - this is Value A.
Go back to the start of the file.
Insert 4 bytes of 00 00 00 00 at the start.
Your file will now begin 00 00 00 00 00 00 01...
You now will change the 3rd byte. If value A is less than 0x10000 - it will be 01 i.e. your file will start 00 00 01 00. If value A is more than 0x10000 - it will be 02 i.e. your file starts 00 00 02 00. And presumably onwards to bigger depending on save length e.g. if A > 0x20000 use 03 and so on... In actual fact, I've tested this up to 09 - it's just important that it's more than 1 (or rather, more than the number of 0x10000 blocks length that your savegame is) - it seems to be just an initialisation size for some sort of uncompression buffer so needs to be at least big enough.
Save your changes.
Copy your edited save into the correct folder as documented above, or in MrJAG's video on Youtube - TUTORIAL Batman Arkham How To Install SaveGames

Convert Steam to Epic Games Store

Manual conversion with hex editor
Open your save file in your hex editor. It will start with `00 00 01`. Insert the 4 bytes `00 00 01 00` at the start of the file, so it now starts `00 00 01 00 00 00 01` Save the file and transfer to the save folder as documented above. Notes If your save file is longer than 65kB, you may want to try 0x02 etc as documented in the Xbox360 section above. Converting Epic to Steam is simply done by deleting the bytes added in step 3 and saving.

Issues fixed

Failed to initialise NVIDIA PhysX on launch

Users with AMD/ATI video cards will likely have this issue, as they typically won't have any NVIDIA drivers or software installed unless they encounter a game demanding PhysX support.

Install NVIDIA PhysX System Software
Install NVIDIA PhysX System Software Relaunch the game

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 If you have previously edited `BMEngine.ini` for high frame rate, you will need to edit it manually. Set `PhysXLevel=2` to 1 (normal) or 0 (off).

Turn PhysX to normal or off (the issue occurs on high)^{[citation needed]}

Notes

If you have previously edited BMEngine.ini for high frame rate, you will need to edit it manually. Set PhysXLevel=2 to 1 (normal) or 0 (off).

PhysX effects not displaying correctly

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, this could be caused by missing the NVIDIA PhysX driver or having an unsupported version of it.

Install NVIDIA PhysX Legacy System Software

Install latest PhysX System Software

Massive stuttering issues

Running the game from a conventional HDD causes extreme stuttering when traversing the map due to loading. Moving the game to an SSD may fix this issue.

Move or reinstall the game to an SSD

Issues unresolved

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]}
If the second cutscene does not appear normally, pause the game as soon as the game loads again. From the pause menu, select "Restart from Checkpoint" and confirm. The second cutscene should then play.

Game crashes when leaving the Morgue

Disable PhysX^{[citation needed]}
Save and exit the game. Turn off PhysX in the launcher. Start the game. After the next checkpoint you can restore your previous settings.

Set lowest resolution^{[citation needed]}
Set resolution to 640x480 in the launcher. Start the game. After the next checkpoint you can restore your previous settings.

Mods

Add formerly PS3 exclusive DLCs

You need to acquire the DLC files from the OS X version of the game.^[10] The files are also available for download directly from PCGamingWiki.

Use Joker DLC Patcher
Steam GOTY & Epic Games GOTY versions supported. Works on Windows, Wine and Proton. Extract the DLC files into `<path-to-game>`. Download the patcher and open it. Click "Select and Patch" and find `ShippingPC-BmGame.exe` inside of `<path-to-game>\Binaries`.

Use Joker DLC Patcher

Steam GOTY & Epic Games GOTY versions supported. Works on Windows, Wine and Proton.

Extract the DLC files into <path-to-game>.
Download the patcher and open it.
Click "Select and Patch" and find ShippingPC-BmGame.exe inside of <path-to-game>\Binaries.

Manually hex edit executable^[11]
Extract the DLC files into `<path-to-game>`. Open `<path-to-game>\Binaries\ShippingPC-BmGame.exe` with a hex editor such as HxD Search for `25 00 00 08 00 31 86 80` (offset 12153C0, or 011FF410) Replace it with `0D 00 00 08 00 89 86 80`

Center Main Camera View

By default the game's main third-person camera view is off-center (i.e. the character stands at the left side of the screen). For those who prefer the character to be central to the screen, the camera position can be changed via an in-game console command.

Center Camera View^[12]
Go to `<path-to-game>\Binaries`. Create a new text file in that folder named `center.txt` with the following content: set R3rdPersonCamera WalkCamConfig (StateFreeCameraSitOffsetMin=(X=0.000000,Y=0.000000,Z=0.000000),StateFreeCameraSitOffsetMax=(X=0.000000,Y=0.000000,Z=0.000000),StateFreeCameraPullOffset=(X=0.000000,Y=0.000000,Z=0.000000),CameraPivotOffset=(X=0.000000,Y=0.000000,Z=65.000000),ZoomedOffset=(X=0.000000,Y=0.000000,Z=80.000000),maxPitch=14500.000000,MinPitch=-100000.000000,MinFreeCameraDistance=300.000000,MaxFreeCameraDistance=300.000000,ShortCamSpringConst=250.000000,LongCamSpringConst=250.000000,DefaultCameraPitch=-910.000000,CameraSitOffsetPower=1.500000,bUseSeparate43Settings=True,StateFreeCamera43SitOffsetMax=(X=0.000000,Y=25.000000,Z=60.000000),StateFreeCamera43SitOffsetMin=(X=-100.000000,Y=67.000000,Z=-20.000000),bDontModifySitOffsetWhenLookingUp=False) Go to the configuration file(s) location. Open `BMInput.ini`. Under the `[Engine.PlayerInput]` section, add a new key binding line like the following: Bindings=(Name="F8",Command="exec center.txt", Shift=false, Control=false, Alt=false, bIgnoreShift=false, bIgnoreCtrl=false, bIgnoreAlt=false) Launch the game and while playing press the key to center the camera. Notes You will need to press the key once each time you launch the game. To add the command to an existing keybind, precede it with a pipe (`\|`) character. For example, to make the `F8` key change the FOV and center the camera: Bindings=(Name="F8",Command="fov 110{{!}}exec center.txt", Shift=false, Control=false, Alt=false, bIgnoreShift=false, bIgnoreCtrl=false, bIgnoreAlt=false)

Center Camera View^[12]

Go to <path-to-game>\Binaries.

Create a new text file in that folder named center.txt with the following content:

set R3rdPersonCamera WalkCamConfig (StateFreeCameraSitOffsetMin=(X=0.000000,Y=0.000000,Z=0.000000),StateFreeCameraSitOffsetMax=(X=0.000000,Y=0.000000,Z=0.000000),StateFreeCameraPullOffset=(X=0.000000,Y=0.000000,Z=0.000000),CameraPivotOffset=(X=0.000000,Y=0.000000,Z=65.000000),ZoomedOffset=(X=0.000000,Y=0.000000,Z=80.000000),maxPitch=14500.000000,MinPitch=-100000.000000,MinFreeCameraDistance=300.000000,MaxFreeCameraDistance=300.000000,ShortCamSpringConst=250.000000,LongCamSpringConst=250.000000,DefaultCameraPitch=-910.000000,CameraSitOffsetPower=1.500000,bUseSeparate43Settings=True,StateFreeCamera43SitOffsetMax=(X=0.000000,Y=25.000000,Z=60.000000),StateFreeCamera43SitOffsetMin=(X=-100.000000,Y=67.000000,Z=-20.000000),bDontModifySitOffsetWhenLookingUp=False)

Go to the configuration file(s) location.
Open BMInput.ini.

Under the [Engine.PlayerInput] section, add a new key binding line like the following:

Bindings=(Name="F8",Command="exec center.txt", Shift=false, Control=false, Alt=false, bIgnoreShift=false, bIgnoreCtrl=false, bIgnoreAlt=false)

Launch the game and while playing press the key to center the camera.

Notes

You will need to press the key once each time you launch the game.

To add the command to an existing keybind, precede it with a pipe (|) character. For example, to make the F8 key change the FOV and center the camera:

Bindings=(Name="F8",Command="fov 110{{!}}exec center.txt", Shift=false, Control=false, Alt=false, bIgnoreShift=false, bIgnoreCtrl=false, bIgnoreAlt=false)

+# Complete transfer of files to your PC - there will be a "Content" folder on your USB drive, and your saves will be in it, search for the files <code>save0.sgd</code>, <code>save1.sgd</code> etc depending on which you want to convert

+# Now scroll down the file until you hit a big block of 0x00s. How far you have to scroll depends on how much is in your savegame. It will be a big block, you can tell it's the right block because before it you'll see lots of game related words like Harpoon Gun, Objective, but afterwards just gibberish
+# Look at the top of the of block of 00s and find the last <code>0x11</code> byte, this is the "end" of the real data. You may have 9 or so bytes of <code>0x00</code> before it
+# Delete everything '''AFTER''' the <code>0x11</code> so that the <code>0x11</code> is now the last byte in the file
+# Now make a note of the offset of the <code>0x11</code> - this is <code>Value A</code>.

If <code>value A</code> is more than 0x10000 - it will be <code>02</code> i.e. your file starts <code>00 00 02 00</code>. And presumably onwards to bigger depending on save length e.g. if A > 0x20000 use 03 and so on... In actual fact, I've tested this up to 09 - it's just important that it's more than 1 (or rather, more than the number of 0x10000 blocks length that your savegame is) - it seems to be just an initialisation size for some sort of uncompression buffer so needs to be at least big enough.
