Glitch in Burnley?
When you get to the Riddler's communications tower in Burnley, and get locked into the room, I can't seem to get out. I can grapple up to the event to escape, but Batman categorically refuses to climb into the vent. I can drop down from the vent and grapple back onto it, to hang from it, but I simply can't seem to climb in.

For the record, I did pull the grate off the vent, and got the Riddler's sarcastic congratulation.

Am I missing some cryptic key combination, or is this a glitch preventing me from getting any further?

edit: I managed, after about 5 minutes, to do the 'trick' posted in the sticky. Had to use keyboard + mouse as I couldn't get it working with the controller.

It's a glitch I think since I have stuck in the same place as you. I think the comms tower in Diamond District is also glitched. There's a wooden wall with a disruptor inside but Batman refuse to break it. Let's just hope that they release a patch soon.

Same issue here, it's definately a glitch.

I'm wondering if its something to do with the thing above the initial window... I'm not sure the developers intended for us to try to beat that tower. I'm basing this on the fact that The Riddler specifically alluded to the 'third attempt' to destroy one of his jammers, despite it being the fifth or so tower I had tried to defeat during my playthrough.

Yes, I have the exact same problem. I'll try restarting now, hopefully it'll be gone then.

Stuck trying to exit com tower
Just before entering the GCPD building, I thought I'll disarm the jamming device in the tower right next to it. I managed to get in and disarm it easily, but my exit path was then blocked by bars. The entrance to the vent was pretty obvious, so I removed the grate from it and grappled up to reach it. But then I couldn't enter the vent! No other way out of the room as far as I am aware. Anyone else had the same issues?
justAEA Oct 24, 2013 @ 7:19pm 
Even after restarting the game it's still there. Looks like we're gonna have to avoid it untill they patch it.

after u pull down a grating from a high up in the room and batclaw your way up it will apear as if batman cannot enter the Ventilation shaft

currently no known workarounds for this problem wait for patch
reports of some people who did manage to get past it while crouching during hanging up with the batclaw(unconfirmed so far)

- Having to Reset your video settings outside the game
goto folder
Steam\steamapps\common\Batman Arkham Origins\SinglePlayer\BMGame\Config
Remove File BMEngine.ini
restart game its been replaced with Default values

 - Sluggish videos cutscenes
State issues with Direct X 11 and advanced video profiles(causes stuttering slow behaviour in cutscenes)
Related to having to reset video settings
Turn of the use of Direct X 11 and set it back to DX 10/9
this can be done in the BMEngine.ini file
by Setting AllowD3D11 to False

- Pre-Loading doesnt turn into Play game button
Shut down steam

- Bugs during the fight with Croc
Glitching behaviour and croc going invisible is related to drivers check top of this place
getting trough the fight on Hard mode
stuncape attack directly in his face as he charges at you
due to a bug u will have a very hard time doding and evading his attacks
so its beter to blatantly Hammer him for it
ignore his black mask accomplises he will kill them for you just stuncape and beatdown on croc
use quick battarang on gas cannister while croc is holding them to finish him up fast using this trick
Sound issue with this fight Fix pause and unpause game

- Batclaw on a Pontoon in the bowels causes stuck
in the bowels of a boat after a bad guy, and it requires u to batclaw over water using a poontoon. the use of the Batclaw on the Ring will result in the ring being pulled off and the rope falling down locking batman to the rope

several people have Claimed pressing Left Ctrl on the Keyboard to release the rope but not fix the issue, wait for patch

- Antivirus programs calling Batman arkham origins out as virus(avast)
its a false positive and avast is being jumpy for no reason again
blacklist the files avast is jumping for joy about in the program itself

- Extra mouse/thumb buttons are being reported as unusable to the control schematic
due to the game not accepting these as control inputs

no known fixes at this time , wait for patch

keep in Mind using MSAA x4 or higher and Hardware PhysX with AMD cards will result in errors and stuttering
Guts Oct 24, 2013 @ 8:12pm 
I hope I don't have any of those bug.
Hurkaleez Oct 24, 2013 @ 8:16pm 
Wow, nice work there Moo, thanks for taking the time. When the game is unlocked I am sure I will be referring to this post.
