Not DirectX or PhysX launch issue
This game will not launch. I have installed DirectX and PhysX and tested the compatibility issues and nothing is working. It crashes right after I hit play with no error message.
I am running Windows 10

Check if the game is allowed in your antivirus preferences.

Make certain Steam cloud sync is enabled on the game itself, not just the general Steam client. From the Steam client Library page, right-click on Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY Edition and select Properties > General, then select the tickbox that reads: Keep game saves in the Steam Cloud for Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY Edition.

Do you have the NVIDIA Legacy PhysX Driver installed. The game won't work if you don't have it installed. It won't overwrite the normal PhysX. Use it on Windows 10 and 11 as well.

You might have to delete PhysX though Control panel and boot the game, and it will re install it fixing the problem. that's how I just fixed it.

@POPEAPOTAMUS 1, review this discussion: "FIXED: Failed To Initialise NVIDIA PhysX"
https://steamcommunity.com/app/35140/discussions/0/357286119108295514

@JH0NN1, post a screenshot, that might clue us in. Could be a driver issue. Did you verify and patch the game?:
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.

MY GAME IS ALSO NOT WORKING WHEN I PLAY IT DOESN'T OPEN AND CLOSE WITHOUT ANY ERROR WARNING

Aizen, list your PC specs; that might tell us what's missing. Also, don't type in all caps; it reads like you're yelling or screaming.

POPEAPOTAMUS 1 and Aizen, try reducing your in-game screen resolution from inside the Launcher > Settings. Overly high game resolution has been known to prevent a proper launch on some computers:
Steam \ steamapps \ common \ Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY \ Binaries \ BmLauncher

If no improvement, review these topics regarding OneDrive:
"probleme microsoft net Framework"

"Save file maybe corrupted!"

As far as i can tell that not it either. The resolution didn't change anything. The error message after launch is gone now. I cant read French so I don't know what is going on in the first link. My save file is set to the Steam Cloud according to Steam.

I saw somewhere that you had to have certain aBm files and I couldn't find them for me. Idk if that it but who know.

Thank you so much for your continued help!!! I am about at a breaking point with this. This game made me love Batman, nerd culture, and truly shaped who I became as a person. I just want to play the game...
