Stuck in GCPD

[simianmoonstudios]

I'm trapped in the GCPD. After downloading the unlock codes, I cannot select the Cryptographic Sequencer to access the control panel in order to get out. Suggestions?

If your screen resolution is needlessly maxed out, reduce it from inside the Launcher to help with object and proximity registration.

My machince is working perfectly fine. Why do you suggest this?

So there's no confusion: After Batman in the game downloads the unlock codes, I can't access the Cryptographic Sequencer in the game. It's blinking, telling me it's what I am supposed to select, it just won't allow me to actually select it and use it.

Controller or Keyboard?

The reason I suggested it is because players with overly high screen resolution have logged difficulties across the Arkham forums with collision objects and interactive events: grates, vents, doors, elevators, grappling, buttons, interrogations, post-hacking checkpoints after using the Crytopgrahic Sequencer, crime scene reconstructions in Arkham Knight, evidence or riddle scanning, countering Joker in Arkham Origins, glue rafts in Arkham Origins, Detective Vision, Disruptor targeting, proximity encounters like with Penguin on the catwalk in Arkham City, post-hack escaping the Titan plant after receiving the Line Launcher in Arkham Asylum, and quite a few others. Doesn't affect everyone's rig but it happens often enough to be documented.

If you haven't yet reduced screen resolution, do it from inside the Launcher and restart Steam and test the game. Unfortunately this might not work, since you may have already set a checkpoint with no Sequencer deployment. Do it and let us know your results.

If it doesn't work, try disabling PhysX from inside the Launcher and disabling DX10:
1. Locate DefaultEngine.ini: Steam \ steamapps \ common \ Batman Arkham City GOTY \ BmGame \ Config \ DefaultEngine.ini
2. Open DefaultEngine.ini with NotePad
3. Locate "AllowD3D10=True" and change True to False
4. Save file and restart computer

Xbox gamepad/controller.

I will look into all of your suggestions. Thank you for taking the time.

I had a thought. If you're using a controller you'll need the DPad to select a gadget. Follow the configurator advice in this link, let us know your results:

Thanks to you asking if I was using a keyboard or controller, it made me think to use the keyboard to select the Crytopgrahic Sequencer, which didn't fix the problem but worked to get me out of GCPD. I did change the resolution in launcher, but it didn't fix the issue. I'll check that link too. Thanks again.

You'll need the DPad to select any other gadget as well, so be sure to check the configurator.
