A series of games Batman: Arkham has already managed to become a real masterpiece. Millions of gamers are enthusiastically watching the adventures of the Dark Knight and are looking forward to the release of new parts. It all started back in 2009, when Batman: Arkham Asylum first appeared on the shelves of gaming stores.
Immediately after the release, the game was warmly received by both critics and ordinary gamers. This is not surprising because the developers worked hard and made a real masterpiece both in terms of plot and in terms of gameplay.
But, despite the positive aspects, the project was not without any flaws. For example, there is a bug due to which Batman: Arkham Asylum is not saved. It is about him, as well as about methods for eliminating the problem that will be discussed in the article.
Unlicensed version
Of course, the pirates could not ignore such a popular game as Batman: Arkham Asylum. The first hacked versions appeared almost on the day of the official release. Naturally, there can be no question of any checks on the compatibility of such repacks with various PC configurations, so it is not surprising that gamers began to have problems with saving.
If you are the owner of an unlicensed version of the game and Batman: Arkham Asylum is not saved, then try to look for a solution to the problem on the site from which you downloaded the repack. In addition, try installing the distribution from another pirated release group, having previously deleted all the old files. Sometimes this helps, although not guaranteed.
At the same time, do not forget that it is best to buy a licensed version of the game. In this case, you can contact the technical department of the developer company and try to solve the problem in this way.
Cyrillic in the name of the folders
Another reason that the game Batman: Arkham Asylum is not saved may be the Cyrillic alphabet in the name of the folders located on the path to the installed files. Many Russian-speaking gamers faced a similar problem, and it was possible to solve it only after using the Latin alphabet.
Suppose that the folder in which you installed Batman is called Games. In this case, you need to give it any other name containing only Latin characters (for example, Games). It will also be useful to first remove the game, and then install it already in a new directory.
If all of the above does not help you and Batman: Arkham Asylum does not save, try renaming the folder containing the save ("My Documents"), as well as the user profile of the operating system.
Incorrect installation
No matter how trite it may sound, but sometimes during the installation of the game unexpected errors occur that lead to the malfunctioning of the application. It is likely that one of these problems led to the fact that Batman: Arkham Asylum is not saved on your computer.
To rule out this, just reinstall the game. In this case, it will be nice to pre-defragment the hard disk, as well as check the file system for errors.
In addition, make sure that your computer’s hard drive is not damaged. This can be done using special programs designed to monitor the status of the HDD.
Problems with Games for Windows Live
If you tried all of the above methods, but still cannot understand why Batman: Arkham Asylum is not saved, then the solution should be found in the incorrect operation of the Games for Windows Live service. This is a special program from Microsoft, responsible for the online component of the game. That it can cause bugs in "Batman", for the elimination of which you must do the following:
- Delete all GFWL files from your computer completely.
- Download the latest version of the program from the official site, install it, and then create a user profile (if you do not already have one).
- Launch the game and check if the problem remains.
In addition, there is such an opportunity in Batman Arkham Asylum, how to save without live. To do this, you must:
- Press the Home key in the main menu of the game.
- Select “Create a local profile” in the GFWL settings.
- Fill in all the fields and save the changes.
After that, the game will cease to require a permanent connection to the Network, and the problem with the save should disappear. If this is not the case, you can try installing Windows Live Login Assistant by first downloading it from the Microsoft website.
Errors in Windows 10
Batman: Arkham Asylum is a rather old game, so when you try to run it on Windows 10, you may have problems with save. The cause of such problems is still the same GFWL, and to fix them you can do the following:
- Delete all GFWL files from the computer, as well as all entries about this program in the registry. To do this, you can use special programs (for example, CCleaner).
- Download the installer of the latest version of GFWL from the official site and set it to compatibility mode with Windows XP.
- Install GFWL and create a local profile.
After all these steps, the problem that Batman: Arkham Asylum (Windows 10) is not saved should disappear. If this does not help, then try setting the compatibility mode with Windows XP not only for GFWL, but also for the game itself.
Viruses
And finally, computer viruses can be another cause of save problems. It is possible that they interfere with the application and, as a result, lead to all kinds of errors.
To check your computer for viruses, you can use both the built-in tools of the operating system (Windows Defender) and special programs from anti-virus software developers (Dr.Web, Kaspersky).
After all threats are neutralized, try to restart the game and save it. If the problem persists, then the viruses have managed to corrupt important files and only a complete reinstallation of Batman: Arkham Asylum will help you.
If you tried absolutely all the solutions to the problem, but the game refuses to be saved, then you should contact the technical support service of the developer company.
