 Spoiler:
 


Also i placed the steam_appid.txt inside \steamapps\common\batman2\

any ideas ?


Aha it's still encrypted. Smile
(VPN to a US location and press play in Steam, it will decrypt the files, disconnect the VPN and then start the exe directly.)

(Steam_appid.txt also goes to Batman2\Binaries\Win32 based on the above image.)

Okay... Looking at the properties for the Steam version, I have a cd key already assigned. Presumably G4WL. Anything to stop me from activating it on my G4WL account? Would it allow me to download it? Or is it just a registration key, and not a purchase key. (That is, would it just say that I have the game on my account, but not give me the option to download it?)

what a joke, a month of delays, finally get the game and it will not run regardless of settings. loads to title screen, searches for DLC then freeze, program crashes, epic fail.

8 gig ram.

all latest drivers

at least I got to play it on xbox first, kinda knew this was going to happen for PC. if not release dates its performance. PC fails again. game companies could give 2 s@#ts about PC gamers, only care about crappy consoles. lamesauce!!!

Well i was using Hotspot shield for VPN, and it worked to install the game. I even had a play button for as long as the game was still downloading. Now i no longer have a play button Sad

Is there some other VPN trick ?

I often use YourFreedom for VPN work but if you have a VPN active just use that and https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Steam_browser_protocol to force launch the game. Smile

steam://rungameid/<id>
(WIth ID being the AppID number, also try steam://validate/<ID> to force a file validation, either should start decrypting then.)

EDIT: As a browser command like if you were opening a http:// page. Smile
(But this will launch Steam and then enforce the operation, also connect the VPN first and then launch Steam for best results and after that use the above command.)

I tried the steam validate thing, i get a window hanging on 0% for a minute or so, then i get a message saying all files have been successfully validated. Same error from .exe Sad

I had apparently already tried the steam rungameid command by creating a shortcut from steam to desktop which calls out the exact same command Sad

If only there was a decrypt command directly, would be abused though so the only method is to press Play from within Steam itself to begin that process, if the game is currently not listed that will be quite difficult to achieve.
(Some issue with Steam?)

EDIT: Non-Steam Win32 folder, might help a bit but would need the reset of the game decrypted.

http://www.multiupload.com/UUKRSERNUC
(Back up the Steam version, some files are likely identical though, unsure if the Steam version uses SecuROM as well but if it does the key should work to just activate and play that way thus bypassing Steam and the current issues it has, to a degree at least.)

Well i'm just installing YourFreedom now, and if that doesn't work either i should prolly try reinstalling the game ? Though i don't even have a remove content button in steam ( or whatever it's called )

Just saw your edit. will try that now

Thanks for all the help Very Happy

Edit: Well now i got to the securerom activation thing. Problem is it's asking me for my key and i only have the steam key which is a different format Sad Don't know how to find the actual game key. I think i need some sort of command which will force steam to display the cdkey associated with the game. Sort of how i get with GTA 4 "View game CD key", but i can't find any on that steam commands website.

Connect to steam through a VPN, right click Batman in Steam, there's something like "View CD Key for this game"...

Use an US VPN, then the "view game key" thing appears.

Runs at ~45 FPS on average but also stutters frequently so it varies heavily, not too difficult to reach 62 (UE3 default max.) though due to the stuttering it often hovers around 40 - 45 still it's not as bad as I expected. Smile


EDIT: Screens, two bonus character skins that was with the game (Neat though not something I'd use much I guess.) and the rest are parts from the intro up to a specific sequence rather early on where I hang glide into a pool of acid. Very Happy

I'm not using the Steam version though, was just install, let SecuROM validate the release date (Which worked without any problems.) and then play.

Aside from the mild stuttering I've not had any real problems with the game so far.
(Settings as per what I posted earlier with that options window.)

EDIT: That folder.

http://www.multiupload.com/V7P7U9NCNG
(Might want to overwrite the save game or use a different profile slot.)


EDIT: Tweaked the files a bit (above is still the original version.) should perform and look a bit better.
