Whoever actually shut down the Servers

[happy]

Update: The Servers have been enabled Weeks ago again, at the Time this Post was made, the entire Server System was offline and no Fix changed that. However someone from the Community got in Contact with a Developer who turned the Server back on.

As it seems right now someone at the Dev Studio realized that part of the Online Servers where still up all these Years later and shut them down for good. ATM Multiplayer is completely unreachable.

Bruh I literally just got my first ever gaming PC and this game was one of my main reasons behind it. I missed the multiplayer so bad, such unfortunate timing :(

Dammit... I burnt out playing MP back in the fall and was just thinking about finishing off the last few that I needed.

Poor timing. I should've finished them last week when I thought of it.

As of December 4, 2016, the online services portion of Batman: Arkham Origins will be retired. We thank those that have joined us to battle over the last 3 years. The Single player campaign may still be played and enjoyed offline.

I recently got a computer fast enough to run both this game and Arkham Knight, and I am finally getting around to playing it for the first time. I guess I got the computer in 2017, but after playing Mass Effect Andromeda it went into storage, only to be replaced with the Steam Deck in 2022.

I think "The Amazing Spider-Man" (2012) got me thinking my 2009 Gaming Rig was out of date, because I seem to have stopped playing recent releases on that system around 2014. Spending most of my time in Star Trek Online until I had saved up enough for a better computer. MMORPG games are a good way to stretch an investment, as they tend to want to run on laptop GPUs to get the most subscriber money.

The Main Servers where shut down Years ago, but there was a part that was still online and could let you play normally. That is not the Case anymore, now all Servers are gone.

The Servers seem to be back up, noone knows how long it will last and if the next Shutdown will be permanent, so i suggest getting whatever you wanna do done asap.

Woo Hoo! That was kind of scary - I figured I was going to miss my last 3 achievements.

However, I just played an awesomely close match that pushed me up to Joker 30. A quick prestige for another of my missing achievements, and now all I need to do is get a hero win in Wonder City to finish the last one. :)

Same, my Group only has XP farming left and then we are done, we actually planned to finish on the Day the Servers went down, so we are gonna finish it as soon as we can.

Good luck!

If you need one more to help, I'd be willing to assist. Especially if you could help me with that last win for Tales of Gotham. :P

Might be a bit too late but I did the classic thing with online config file and deleted one "s" in server link and I could actually open the Online game. When I tried to look for a game it actually connected me to some lobby but it was empty, I don't know if it just connected to actual game server or to kind of private lobby in public matchmaking but I will still try to explain to you what I did and maybe we'll be able to meet in game if it actually works.

So, open up your Batman Origins local files and go to:
(folder in which you've got Steam installed)\Steam\steamapps\common\Batman Arkham Origins\Online\BmGame\Config

Now look for a file called DefaultWBIDVars.ini.

Open it with a notepad and look for the line with BaseUrl.

Now just change the https to http.

The line in DefaultWBIDVars.ini should look like this after the change:
BaseUrl="http://ozzypc-wbid.live.ws.fireteam.net/"

Hope this works as I think it works and will actually let you all play multiplayer. I'd love to actually check if it works so hit me up as soon as you can and maybe we'll try to connect to the same lobby/invite ourselves to one session. If it will work I'll try to make a guide to this so we'll be able to play with more people.

Here's a screenshot to prove that I actually connected to some lobby, I can even confirm it actually works as I'm sitting in lobby right now with one person (joined after I made a screenshot):

Pointless Post because this wasnt the Issue.
