Lego Batman 2 won't start

[Cheesehornet7]

Any advice how to get this game even start. Here's what I've done so far.

- Installed latest drivers
- Running as administrator (settings from exe and for all users)
- Running as Windows 7 compatibility mode
- Running in 8 -bit mode (256 color) and 640x480 resolution (setting for all users)
- Disabled virus protection
- directX checked
- Uninstalled the game and installed it again, and done all of these earlier steps again

OS: Windows 8.1 64-bit with 4GB RAM and ATI AMD Radeon HD 6700 Series

Try this.

Find your LEGO Batman 2 folder - should be located here - \AppData\Roaming\Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment\LEGO Batman 2

Easy way to get there is to type %Appdata% in the windows search bar.

Now when you get to that folder, delete (or move) all the files inside it (make sure the game is not running) then launch it and tell me what happens.

Doing this should reset it with default settings, creating new ones when you launch the game.

If that does not work, we'll try testing a new config - https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BztlfU002uSCYllBVVBBMWlaamM/ place that in your LEGO Batman 2 folder, if it works let me know and I'll update it to make it more playable for your config.

I have an issue with the game dumping out and closing to the desktop at varying times. any ideas?

I've got the exact same problem. I have been able to play this game before now, but haven't played for a while.

When clicking to start the game, it pops up with the message' Preparing to launch Batman 2'. That disappears, then comes right back. It does this repeatedly, but never loads the game.

I've tried verifying the local files and completely reinstalled the game, but still get the same problem.

I also tested both suggestions from goku above, but no joy.

This is very odd as the game has worked many times before now.

*Edit* And just as mysteriously, it's now working again after a restart of Steam - which I had already tried as a possible fix earlier.

I have the same problem as the OP. Won't start at all. Tried the suggested solutions to no avail.

Right Click LEGO Batman 2 < Click ''Properties'' < Click On ''Local Files'' < Then Browse Local Files < Open The ''Support'' Folder < Click On DirectX < Scroll a Bit Until You Find ''DXSETUP'' and Click On It.

It worked for me, so it will MOST LIKELY work for you aswell.

sex haver's suggestion (September 15, 2017) worked for me. I'll copy/paste it since I'm buried in the comments:

"Right Click LEGO Batman 2 < Click ''Properties'' < Click On ''Local Files'' < Then Browse Local Files < Open The ''Support'' Folder < Click On DirectX < Scroll a Bit Until You Find ''DXSETUP'' and Click On It."

[Duckfleshsoap]

none of these work for me...

I've been trying at least twenty tutorials all day, and this was the only one that worked for me. Thanks.
