Had the Burnley tower bug and then fell through the map once. Nothing else on this list has hit me yet and I am 71% done with the entire game.

And I wouldn't count the DVD not installing the full game as a reason not to. Its that it uses Steamworks. No game that has evenr used Steamworks has even fully installed from the DVD. If it uses Steamworks, its best to just buy it on Steam and download it, unless you have a very small bandwidth cap then you buy the DVD to save yourself half the game in downloading.

Or pretty much anything VALVe.

As well, the OP has 79 hours on Batman AO. AT least he has actually played the game unlike a lot of the people out there trashing it because of what they read.

Reading and playing are very different.

[Charade]

lol. i've never encountered 99.9999% of what you just listed

[js51472]

Don't the console versions have the same problems? Also, they have to wait weeks for each patch.

[Apex_Ninja_UK]

not as many and i haven't heard that much by my friends who have played it on consoles

[js51472]

http://community.wbgames.com/t5/Support/bd-p/Support-and-Feedback It looks pretty bad on the official site. Anyway, I think it's a great game, but I would have been annoyed if I'd lost my save. I also wish they would make enemies respawn in predator rooms after the story is done, so I can finish worst nightmare.

[Apex_Ninja_UK]

yeah same here its a good game and i love what they have done with the story would like enemys to repawn and wished they had made a full camnpaign with death stroke

[Ryu Hayabusa]

The more I think about it, the more I'm sure WB and WB Montreal intentionally ruined the PC version of the game to boost console sales. You know the same old ''PC is dead'' argument to not release any more Arkham games on the PC. There is no other explanations for all bugs you mentioned OP.

[uberbobo]

Honestly I haven't had a single problem and that's even beating main story. I haven't had to reload any parts because of scene not triggering, no falling through the world, no audio issues, it always seems to auto save for me whenever I fast travel. I avoided the Burnley tower until it was patch and it plays great on my rig with no sceen tearing.
Its bummer for those that have had issues but I doubt someone playing this for the first time is going to encounter every single one of those issues. A majority of the issues seem pretty random.

[Ishan451]

I have run into 2 bugs so far. One was probably due to having outdated graphic drivers, the other was fixed by restarting from the checkpoint.

And i play on PC.

Because the game uses Steamworks. I have heard the disc only has the single player game on it while the MP portion is downloaded through Steam.

Honestly, I haven't seen one game that uses Steamworks that has a disc do the full install.
