===Getting stuck in the Burnley Comms Tower===
 
{{ii}} After pulling the grate down with the Batclaw you can't pull yourself up and in the vent, you are left hanging but can drop. It is the only way out of the room. Reloading Checkpoint should put you out of the room. To actually disable the tower, you glitch your way to the top of the tower, skipping the glitched grate, by using the pipe outside: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkDLaojdCCw.

Field of view (FOV)

These fixes are not working on some setups.[6]
ini keybind[7]
  1. Go to <path-to-game>\SinglePlayer\BMGame\Config\.
  2. Edit BmInput.ini.
  3. Locate section [Engine.PlayerInput], select all lines that starts with Bindings here and copy it Ctrl+C.
  4. Locate section [BmGame.RPlayerInput] and after last line paste all these Bindings lines you've copied earlier.
  5. Create new lines in it with:
Bindings=(Name="NumPadZero",Command="FOV 0")
Bindings=(Name="NumPadOne",Command="FOV 32")
Bindings=(Name="NumPadTwo",Command="FOV 75")
Bindings=(Name="NumPadThree",Command="FOV 80")
Bindings=(Name="NumPadFour",Command="FOV 85")
Bindings=(Name="NumPadFive",Command="FOV 90")
Bindings=(Name="NumPadSix",Command="FOV 95")
Bindings=(Name="NumPadSeven",Command="FOV 100")
Bindings=(Name="NumPadEight",Command="FOV 105")
Bindings=(Name="NumPadNine",Command="FOV 110")

6. Right-click the file, and under 'Attributes', check the 'Read-only' option.

Notes

Binds your numpad keys to different FOV values with 0 resets FOV to default and 1 triggers zoom.
You can bind your favorite FOV on F-keys simply by replacing "NumpadPadXXXX" with "Fx".
Best and most flexible way to change FOV on the fly in-game.
ini edit for permanent solution[8]
  1. Go to <path-to-game>\SinglePlayer\BMGame\Config\.

Issues unresolved

Logitech controllers not working

Users reporting issues with Logitech control mapping and control inversion.[12] Editing config files has no effect.[13]
For the F310, F510 and F710 set the hardware switch to X and reconnect the controller.[9]

No Gotham Pioneer Bridge CIP

A glitch will cause the CIP (Crime In Progress) meant for the Gotham Pioneer Bridge to not spawn. Making the "Gotham Protector" achievement impossible to get without finishing the game and starting a new game+. There are two possible workarounds.
Trigger the CIP for Sheldon Park and lure the final enemy to the southeast corner of the district. Finishing the CIP there will count as an encounter on the bridge.[14]
If you are lucky the CIP meant for the Gotham Pioneer Bridge will actually spawn in another district at random. Finishing it will count as if it actually was on it.[15]

Ozzy Fatal Error

The game may constantly crash at certain moments (like when trying to just run the game or select the character Bruce Wayne for Challenge Mode) with the following message[16]:
Fatal Error!

Ozzy_[2014-03-07_09.25] 364844 2014-03-07_09.25.15 (Wwise: 2012.2.1#4427) Game

Address = 0x469fe9 (filename not found) [in D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Batman Arkham Origins\SinglePlayer\Binaries\Win32\BatmanOrigins.exe]

Issues fixed

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.[17] The player 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 the player in a different area.[18]
Limit the frame rate to 60 FPS[19]
