Can't see last possible datapack in Bane's hideout
I found all except one datapacks. The last one I'm picking is in Bane's hideout. I solve the puzzle (open the fence and zip inside) and the datapack is missing.
I know it should be on the floor, as I saw on youtube, and as I played before in another slot, but now it's missing. It's displayed on the map, however!
(Sidenote: I just can't collect all of them! I played another slot and there were 2 missing in Amusement mile (missing, but showing on the map as uncollected).
I just want to play the game to beat the Riddler, but I don't want to start again in the third slot and try my luck will this bug happen elsewhere...)
So please help!

Did you verify and patch the game after installing and before playing:
1. Select game in Library, right-click Properties > Local Files, Verify Integrity of Game Files.
2. Select game in Library, right-click Properties > Updates, Automatic Updating.

If you're running Windows 10, did you install all the redistributables that W10 lacks? You'll find them in the Steamworks Shared \ _CommonRedist folder. Be certain to include the vcredist_x86 installers.

Open the Options > Graphic Options menu and reduce your in-game screen resolution from maximum. Your game res is probably too high for your monitor, resulting in object and proximity interaction errors. It might be far too late in the game at this point, but you might need to checkpoint elsewhere with your settings reduced, then return. You might experiment with disabling both PhysX from Graphic Options and DX11 from here:
1. Locate BmEngine.ini: Steam \ steamapps \ common \ Batman Arkham Origins \ SinglePlayer \ BMGame \ Config \ BmEngine.ini
2. Open BmEngine.ini with NotePad
3. Locate "AllowD3D10=False" and change False to True
4. Locate "AllowD3D11=True" and change True to False
5. Save file and restart computer

Overly high resolution (on some but not all rigs) has been logged as a contributing factor to setting bad checkpoints; if game res is too high, then traversal and interactions might not register properly. You won't know if a bad checkpoint was made until after it happens; then it's too late. You can prevent this by making multiple periodic manual backup saves at different story milestones. Your .sgd save files are located here:
Steam \ userdata \ Steam User Number \ 209000 \ remote

Wow, that's a mouthful. Yes, I use Win 10. Thanks, I'll try all you posted

Sadly, it didn't help.
1. I verified Integrity of Game Files. 2 files were not OK, it prompted it will be fixed right away.
2. Auto updates were on already
3. In _CommonRedist folder, I've run both vcredist_x64.exe and vcredist_x86.exe
(Both were last modified 2019.)
4. I did what you said with AllowD3D10 and AllowD3D11 settings, restarted comp
5. I decreased my resolution from 1600 to 1280

Same thing:
In one slot, I have total of one datapack missing in Bane's hideout.
In another slot, I have total of 2 datapacks picked up already in Amusement mile, but are displayed on the map.
So I can't visit Riddler because the scrambler is still on.

I was afraid of that because of how late in the game this occurs, and how long this has been running unremediated from earlier. Are you certain you collected that confusing freeroam DataPack directly above it in Park Row, the one with 3 opposing pressure pads? If you have, leave the area and checkpoint inside My Alibi, Lacey Towers, or GCPD; some place really distant. Checkpoint and quit to the menu, open Graphic Options again and reduce game res to bare minimum. Quit the game, restart your computer, then return. You don't need to run the game at lowest res afterward, I'm just trying to force that DataPack to pop for you.

Do the cosmetic DetailMode background fix too, if you haven't done so already. Won't pop the Pack, just makes the game look like the others:

At this point you don't want to hear this; with everything else you've tried in the way of solutions, I doubt very seriously this will occur on a brand new play slot. Just keep game screen res reduced from maximum. What is your actual maximum computer resolution, and at what setting were you running maximum game res?

If memory serves there is one datapack on the roof in the small room to the right of the stairs.
dalibor Aug 11, 2021 @ 4:53am 
@Dante - this is definately glitch/bug, becuase datapack was not collected (shown in the map), but I've collected it in another slot. (Another slot has another problem altogether: 2 datapacks I picked up, but they are shown in the map and in Riddler's list of areas as unsolved)
@JonoAAmano - 1600x900 is my max PC res, and my game res is 1280x800
dalibor Aug 11, 2021 @ 5:10am 
One more thing to clarify: I don't actually see the datapack in the regular map, I see it in Enigma's map divided by districts, where Bane's hideout is marked as "0/1" as in 1 total datapack, collected 0.
And "Park Row" is marked unsolved, the only one besides "Enigma's HQ"
dalibor Aug 11, 2021 @ 5:32am 
@JonoAAmano
I just did step by step what you said in 1st paragraph: still no luck
(Saved in My aliby, lowered game res to 800x600, restarted comp...)
JonoAMano Aug 11, 2021 @ 5:59am 
Did you collect Bane's HQ DataPack? It's in the ceiling vent above where Bane's tape was.
dalibor Aug 11, 2021 @ 6:11am 
@JonoAAmano
You are a life saver! It was that all along! I thought the one I'm missing was in the upper floor of the hideout!
That's it! Thanks!
JonoAMano Aug 11, 2021 @ 6:25am 
You're welcome, I should have asked that to begin with :-) When in doubt, use Detective Vision. I think Dante0357 alluded to that location in his comment #5, but the word "roof" instead of "ceiling" was misleading.

What about the 2 DataPacks in Amusement Mile on your other save slot, did you collect those? If you look on the tactical map for your other save slot, those missing might be the 2 inside the Final Offer that both require the Glue Grenade. You can also tell from the Enigma tape inventory if those Packs fall in the last four tape slots whether they're inside the ship.

Incidentally, keep DX11 disabled to prevent the occasional unrecoverable freefall glitch. I do repairs on those for the community, but keeping DX11 will stop it from happening in the future. Keep your game res just as it is, no higher than your max PC res, you should be fine. Barring any other unforeseen bugs, you can probably set PhysX to enabled.

Those 2 are different issue:
I collected them, (datapack frame is empty), and the map shows as if they are still uncollected. How do I know it's the same as in map? I watched a lot youtube walktroughs.
JonoAMano Aug 11, 2021 @ 6:35am 
That play slot might be be legit bugged, but post screenshots of both Amusement Mile and your Enigma Amusement Mile progress anyway. Could be a bug, or something simple. More than once I've deactivated barriers and traps only to forget the DataPacks themselves.
dalibor Aug 12, 2021 @ 9:17am 
It doesn't matter anymore, since I've solved the datapacks in former slot. Thanks anyway. (BTW, how would I upload captures here?)

Your default screenshot key is F12; you can remap that button if need be from inside Steam Client > Settings > In-Game, Screenshot shortcut keys. After taking a screenshot, browse through your image inventory with Steam Client > View > Screenshots. You can preview an image before uploading by double-clicking on it. After uploading, open an image and copy it's URL visible at the upper left of the image. Paste that URL into this topic.
