Cant Download

[Grayson]

okay so ive located the issue so this is basically an announcement, the manifest ID for gotham knights was changed in the recent update
https://steamdb.info/patchnotes/9794860/
so what this means is that either WB hasnt told steam about the change or steam hasnt done the change yet, meaning there is no fix to this issue, we are currently locked out of accessing the game files until the issue is resolved

I'm guessing this fumble has to do with them not wanting people to revert back to the Denuvo-free version, and in turn they locked out paying customers from being able to download the game at all (Or update). Seems like these developers just keep on winning.

Seems to me like they really, really want to force the Denuvo version of the game on people to the point where they're willing to lock out paying customers from their game while pirates get to play this game willy-nilly. Yikes.

its convenient they did it after the majority of buyers have already played 2+ hours so now they cant refund it either, it seems to be a steam exclusive issue so its definitely not intentional, just a lack of fully clearing everything up before rolling the update out

I doubt it's intentional, just like it wasn't intentional for them to release a Denuvo-free version. They probably did try to intentionally lock people out of being able to revert to a Denuvo-free version (On Steam it's possible for players to revert to previous versions of the game), and this is probably what caused this whole mess.

yea they locked us out of it and forgot to give us acess to the new one, not exactly an uncommon mistake especially for a newer company, this is their first original title i believe after origins

Funny part of this is that the game popped up on a certain preinstalled free game site hours ago because this patch broke the DRM. So, it's already out of the bag. Singleplayer is cracked.

They locked out paying customers because they're more interested in having Denuvo in the game than they are in making sure that customers receive a great experience. How sad.

Cat's already out of the bag and somehow they still decided it would be better to do *this* than just leave it alone. Really details how "amazing" their decision making process is that they've ended up in a state where no paying customer can download or update their game. :Claps:

One illegal download does not equate to one legal purchase. It's never been proven to be the case for the video game industry, it's just that these corporations are beyond greedy and clearly they don't care about the consumers that pay for their products.

i know man, its pointless to discuss cause corporations wont change, they do the thing they think will increase sales when this will lower them

The bad PR from the constant Ls they're taking certainly can't help.

Glad I’m not the only one with this issue. I bought the game cause I wanted to play on the deck while I’m out and about with the kids
