Can you even play Batman: Arkham City GOTY on windows 10???

[LukeCukem]

This game will not start, it always gives me that i need the .net framework 3.5 which every other game asks for as well but i could always skip the installation not with this game. I have tried every step to install .net framework 3.5 to no avail, even was on live chat with microsoft twice, ive tried every fix that other people said worked and nothing. All i wan't to know is "Has anyone got this to run on windows 10, and if so how in god's name did you do it" any and all help is greatly appreciated.

AMD fx-8350 @ 4.0 Ghz

It's not a Windows 10 issue, it runs fine for me.

Yeah same here, it worked fine on windows 10 for me too

did either of you get the game prior to the june update the disabled the ability to install net framework 3.5, becuase before that update this game could be ran fine, now you cannot install the necessary transcoding software.

^ Also windows will not physically allow .net 3.5 to be installed anymore which is why it cannot be played conventionally as arkham city requires .net 3.5

I play the game just fine and I bought it a couple of days ago. I have windows 10 as well

Installed 3 weeks ago and was able to finish the game with no problems. Bad, very bad optimisation with some annoying bugs but it's playable and in the overall run fine.

Playing on windows 10 no prob as far.

I don't know dude, i hit the install button on my steam library like any other steam game in my library i want to install. It then installed the game and the other stuff that steam usually install that i don't usually give a ♥♥♥♥ about.

Then i hit the play button on my steam library like i usually do with all my other games that i want to play and the game just launched without any problems...

Not sure what else i can add to this man...

After the downloading finished and i clicked play there was this small steam window with 4 steps like installing vc++ redistributables and some direct x files idk I didn't see .net 3.5 there it taked 10 seconds and then i was on launcher of the game and clicked play and it run.

But I remember one thing maybe if that helps you on my first 2 startups the game got crashed on the main menu 2 times and then i ". Verified game cache" and there were 37 files that were reinstalled lol
And then no crash at all :)

Works here too, installed on July 27 win 10. I didn't pay attention to what it installed but I have .Net 3.5 installed on my computer. I don't know why you would try to skip .Net installs and typically MS doesn't disallow legacy libraries.

You haven't mentioned anything about normal troubleshooting like disabling anti-virus or updating drivers. Have you explored other, more common causes for problems?

brother, you need to run windows update and get the net framework. a long time ago I had a corruption and there are steps you can follow to un-corrupt it. Trying googing .net errors n such. You just have to update the .net framework. Make sure and install all versions of it

I have the exact problem on my two Batman games... Batman: Arkham City GOTY and Batman: Arkham Asylum GOTY... I tried to download and skip the installation but it never plays the game... I have tried to verify the integrity of game files and it still doesn't play... I have tried to turn on the .Net Framework 3.5(includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0) from the Windows Features and it still doesn't work... This is a brand new PC with Windows 10...

Anyone have a fix on this yet?

I found this post from a guy called Jawnee in another thread...

"Dude I've just solved this problem in a way I think you have not tried, go home and type services, once opened go to windows update and check if it's enabled if not right click it and select properties then in the general tab change it to automatic , then go to the recovery tab and in first error select restart service then go to the general tab again and start the service, click apply and accept then try to install the .net 3.5 again.

I hope it works for you, also I'm a spanish speaker so i translate the tabs and options name but i guess they should have that name or at least something similar. I hope you understand everything and you can finally solve this problem "

If that makes sense to you give it a try.
