NEED HELP- Batman: Arkham Asylum won't start

[timmytimmytomtom1]

I'm new to Steam. I just purchased Batman Arkham Asylum. I installed everything, despite all that, I can't play. I'm on Windows 7. What happens, pretty much, every time is I open the launcher (I think it's called...?) The menu that has play, readme, settings, and exit. When I click play, absolutely nothing happens. No error code, nothing. Now, I have seen forums on this, and I've tried everything, validating cache, turning on UAC, I've seen, probably all the forums. Now I am terrible with computers... so can someone help me??

Had the same "problem". Quotes because you just have to update Nvidia PhysiX and it will run!

If above suggesions don't work you need to have Directx 9.0c June 2010 installed on the pc.

Why do you need such an old version?

I made the same thread in discussion. You can read what people said on my thread.

The game requires files from that version. It is what I've read on the forums. I too faced the same issue you are facing. In my case I had Arkham City already purchased. I just installed Batman:AC and its pre-requisites and my copy of AA started working, hence, i can safely say that your AA is not working due to lack of certain files.

Ok, where should I save the file location in? Oh and you said after installing AC then AA would work?

Installing AC was in my case. Other guy who had said he was facing same problem in my thread got it solved my installing DX June 2010. It will auto install the proper files in their rightful location. You need not worry about file location. Also, installing DX 2010 won't harm your system in any way. So if it doesn't solve your problems you need not worry.

I hope installing DX June 2010 solves your issue.

My thread is on page no 4 , I am unable to get a link to post here. Let me know if you know how to get a link.

Let me know how things work out.
