Issues fixed

Vehicles not working

Vehicles (including Robin's RC toys) become unresponsive and won't move or work correctly. This is most noticeable in an early RC car section, where the RC car needs to climb on top of special buttons.
Enable Vsync[2]

Enable Vertical Sync in-game.

Cap framerate at 60 FPS or lower[3]

Run the game at screen refresh rate

Fullscreen mode defaults to 60 Hz for some resolutions, even if the screen refresh rate is set higher than that.
Set screen refresh rate[citation needed]
  1. Install Special K by following the Special K Unofficial Guide. Manual local installation is recommended.
  2. Start the game once and close it to allow the configuration file of Special K to be created.
  3. Open <path-to-game>\d3d9.ini or %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Mods\SpecialK\Profiles\LEGOBatman.exe\SpecialK.ini depending on the installation method you used.
  4. Change RefreshRate=-1 to RefreshRate=0 under [Render.FrameRate].
This may cause issues with vehicles.

Various shadows exhibit prominent color banding

Disable ambient occlusion[4]

Unable to destroy last two electrical pylons/coils with robot in "An Enterprising Theft"

A gray, rectangular bar blocks the robot from reaching the innermost two pylons.
Exit and re-enter the room[5][6]

Notes

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/21000/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (21000) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
