"Unhandled exception"

[Sclurp]

Hi there, so like many of you I have trouble starting this game. I can get to a start-up window with an Arkham Asylum background but the boxes that I presume consist of things like 'start game' and 'options' etc appear as black boxes.

Here is the exact message that pops up under the head "Microsoft .NET Framework" (have no idea what that is. I'm more of a Mac person myself...

"Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.

External component has thrown an exception."

So when I do click on continue, it goes to the menu I described earlier, if I click on details it has a load of information about "JIT debugging" along with a bunch of computer gobbledygook

Arkham City runs fine by the way. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have the same problem. I've played this game for 67 hours, and after not playing for a while, I came back and this happens.

You run a Mac? or a PC? If PC, Screenshot the error if you can

I upgraded my GPU today (to a 7950) and am getting the same error. I'm wondering if re-installing my .Net Frameworks will fix it. I'll return soon, lol.

Re-installing PhysX solved it. ;-)

Hey guys, thanks for your responses. I googled it and it turns out theres a folder or file that you need to manually delete and once I did that the game worked fine! I can't remember the specifics I'm sorry - but once I did know, it was very simple. Do look into it

I had same problem while ago (only black boxes on menu and couldn't start), but the fix was to delete Nvidia PhysX from your computer and then start the game on Steam and let it download its own version of PhysX and after it did all the starting downloads my game worked just fine.

That might be reason it has worked before and then if from other game or manually you have updated the PhysX it comes back as an error.

Thank you. I was having the same issue. Just removed PhyX and let the game install it & the game works now.

Ohh! I just downloaded this and repaired my current install and the game worked!

Same problem.

Please patch.

Fixed it by running the PhysX exe in the redist folder.

Deleting PhysX and letting game install it again worked for me, thanks! ^^

Just had that issue, PhysX wouldn't let me uninstall it, so I had to restart explorer to uninstall PhysX (for those who get a "couldn't read installation log file" issue :)

[IdealHopes]

I haven't got a physx...

I also don't have a PhysX GPU. It's AMD. For some reason the game is flopping at startup with the following error.
See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Same problem with me but after another reinstall it just fixed by itself. I still get that unhandled exception error thing when I try to restore settings to default but it's a minor issue.
