{{ii}} The '''Heroes Pack''' and '''Villains Pack''' DLCs were never released for the PC version, but the files for them still exist, allowing them to be enabled by a simple text edit.

Nvidia 3D Vision
Use Helix Mod: LEGO Batman 2 DC Superheroes - 3D Vision Fix to fix convergence issues.[3]

Issues fixed

Cannot Disable 3D

Users with 3D capable Nvidia graphics cards may be unable to disable 3D Vision by unplugging the 3D adapter, or using the Nvidia Control Panel.[4] This issue can be resolved by pressing Ctrl+T in-game.

Change game language

The Steam version automatically selects the system language with no way of changing it through the Steam client or in-game.
Change game language[5]
  1. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment\LEGOBatman2
  2. If it does not exist, create it (note that if the Key "Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment" already exist, make sure it includes "Bros." instead of "Bros". If not, change it so it contains the period).
  3. Find or create the value LanguageVal with the hexadecimal value with the correct language
    • English: 409
    • Danish: 1030
    • French: 1036
    • Italian: 1040
    • German: 1031
    • Spanish: 1034

Issues unresolved

AVG False Positive

A number of users have reported issues with the PC version of the game, whereby the anti-virus program AVG detects the dangerous Win32/Heur virus mid-installation.[6] This is a known false-positive, and AVG are aware of the issue.[7] Users of AVG can safely ignore the warning presented in this case.

Mods

See the beginners setup guide for instructions on how to configure the game for mod support.[Note 2]
Setting up mods requires extracting the game's .DAT files, which noticeably increases file size.

Enable DLC characters

The Heroes Pack and Villains Pack DLCs were never released for the PC version, but the files for them still exist, allowing them to be enabled by a simple text edit.
Delete files
  1. On a mod-ready installation, ensure <path-to-game>\CHARS\CHARSTXT.FPK is not present, or has a different extension (ex: CHARSTXT.FPK.bak).
  2. Open <path-to-game>\CHARS\COLLECTION.TXT in a text editor, such as Notepad.
  3. Copy the following to a new line at the bottom of the file: 
    
////////////////
// DLC HEROES //
////////////////
collect "Robin_Damian" no_progress
collect "Nightwing" no_progress
collect "Shazam" no_progress
collect "Katana" no_progress
collect "Zatanna" no_progress

//////////////////
// DLC VILLAINS //
//////////////////
collect "Bizarro" no_progress
collect "BlackAdam" no_progress
collect "CaptainCold" no_progress
collect "GorillaGrodd" no_progress
collect "BlackManta" no_progress
  4. Save and close the file. The characters should now appear at the bottom of the Free Play character grid.

Note

The contents of the <path-to-game>\__DLC1__\ and <path-to-game>\__DLC2__\ folders are unused earlier versions of the character files and can be safely deleted.

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>/213330/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (213330) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
  2. ↑ Some PAK, PAC, and FPK files may not extract with the extraction of the four .DAT files; the contents of these can be extracted to the same directory as where they were stored[citation needed], using the same QuickBMS script as was used for the .DAT files.
