Batman: Arkham City is a game that has seen quite a bit of news, ranging from things like its seemingly overpopulation of Batman villains to its fantastic storyline and the ridiculous controversy over a particular “demeaning” insult. Players of the PC version have also been on a crazy rollercoaster ride with Arkham City; one of the things that the game was known for beyond this was its numerous PC problems, many of which were a result of graphical glitches and incompatibility issues with Crossfire and DirectX 11. Other issues with the game included the sudden corruption of PC save games. At the end of the day, Batman: Arkham City needed a patch—badly.

Finally, the prayers that players of the PC version have made have been answered at long last. All PC versions of Batman: Arkham City have received a patch that promises to fix many of the problems that have gutted the game since its late November release on Steam, Origin and Games for Windows Live. Specific issues that the patch has addressed with its tweaks include:

• Occurrences of save file corruption
• Achievement re-locking issues
• Crossfire and 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 success

All in all, the changes definitely make for a better gameplay experience for those who are going through Batman: Arkham City on a digital PC release. However, while it does promise to fix the corruption issue with save files from occurring, it cannot guarantee that a save file that was already corrupted will be fixed. According to Sarah Wellock, community manager of the official forums for Batman: Arkham City: “Sadly, we cannot guarantee that all lost saves will return but [we] did all we could to bring them back. Please accept our apologies.”

Regardless of whether you have purchased Batman: Arkham City through Steam, Origin or Games for Windows Live, you should immediately be notified of an impending patch installation, so you can get back to your seamless gaming experience right away. Because of this, there is currently—at the time of writing—nowhere to manually download the most recent patch for manual installation.

At the end of the day, Batman: Arkham City should now be a fully playable game for all PC gamers. The only concerning things about the patch include its rather late release considering the major problems and the fact that your save may be irreparable. If you get your save back or don’t mind restarting, however, then now is definitely the time to jump back into the large prison city and get back into the game.

About a month ago, the popular website PS3Trophies.org dug up a little additional information on Batman: Arkham City that suggested—well, maybe it was more of an obvious announcement—we might see a DLC pack featuring everyone’s favorite nurse-gone-antagonist Harley Quinn. The trophies in question include the following:
