Batman Arkham City (PC) Patch Release Notes

Save file corruption and other issues being resolved

Written by litepink on 22 March 12 at 17:33

The release of Batman: Arkham City (PC) in November of last year came with just a few minor hiccups. Among the top offenders was save file corruption, which affected a small group of people. Rocksteady has remedied this save issue, and in some instances were able to salvage the corrupt saves in certain instances. Here is the full list of patch details:

- Occurences of Save File Corruption
- Achievement re-locking issues
- Crossfire/SLI Issues
- Graphical flickering
- FPS improvements when running crossfire
- Instances of 32 bit memory problems
- Improvements to performance in cut scenes and death taunts
- Error messages removed when patching the game and improved patching process
The patch is available already on Steam and is expected to hit GFWL shortly.

Awesome game. I've been enjoying playing it a second time. Looks great and I only have a Radeon 5770.
Glad there's a patch, although I suffered from none of the above issues.

sweeet,
this mean i can have my 50g back, or will i have to re-earn the achievements ? (really don't want to have to do those AR challenges for a 3rd time, nor the catwoman thing, and i forget what the 3rd achievement was that relocked on me (there was a 4th too i think, but some file deleting, and redoing the achievement on NG+ worked for me)

either way, looks like it's time to get back onto it, need to start the challenges...

I am so relieved. I had played through the game, done 90% of the collectibles, completed all the combat and predator challenges, and all of the combat challenges but I have NONE of the combat challenge achievements. Cant wait to try this out and see if I will finally get my achievements. I was worried I might need to start all over.

well i just loaded up the game, loaded into my original normal savegame (which was 100% story)

and the mst joyful thing happened, i got my 3 achievements pop, however, i think i need the GFWL client update, now it says i have 0g, 0 rep & 0 games played, oh how i love that P.O.S. software

shame i can't update it without much messing around too, because somebody is too retarded to put the correct version of the sign in assistant in the package, it won't install unless i remove live essentials, and i really cant be arsed to be setting up live mail again...

Did they fix this issue in a patch for the 360 as well? The Arkham City forums were in chaos about that not long ago, and I still need to pick this up for the 360.

Any news on some more DLC?

Also - does anyone know why Xbox version is 1250 & PC version 1100 ?

That is the most stupid thing ever....

The PC version had the Catwoman DLC built into the original 1000 so "lost" the DLC score for it.

lol thanx for the reply although it doesn't really explain 'why'... I just don't get what these programmers are thinking sumtimes.

I completed pc version, then looked at my score & felt robbed of 150G.

(sorry I know this is not the right place to rant) :/

Save file corruption patch? They should pass that around to others! That's one of the most notorious problems out there these days. laugh Hope the team keeps up the good work.
You seem a little furious...
