Batman: Arkham Asylum GOTY crashes after splash screen?

[zcutedollie]

So I know a LOT of people have had the same problem as me with this game. I'm hoping maybe somehow I can figure out a way to fix it. Because Batman: Arkham Asylum Demo worked for me just fine, but the full GOTY edition doesn't. I verified the cache. I tried running it with "\nosound". I tried updating my drivers to the latest versions I could, but just in case, here are my video and driver and sytem specs, maybe so someone can help me:

If anyone can help me I'd much much appreciate it! I hope maybe this can also help others sharing the same problem as me so we can finally play this game! I paid $20 for it and it seems like a good game! T.T

[WooHoo ツ]

Maybe post this in the game discussions.

http://steamcommunity.com/app/35140/discussions/0/792924412141541582/

I was checking if anyone had the same problem. Half way down this discussion ^ someone posted this, maybe it will help.

For those of you on windows 7 or 8 who are having issues with the game not starting from the launch page, where the play does not do anything, try this. I had the same problem and it turned out to be a missing DirectX dll file.

Go to Microsoft Downloads and download ``DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2010)``
After you have downloaded DirectX, click on the exe and extract all files to someplace that you can find them.
Browse to that location and run DXSETUP.exe

And yes it is a good game, I've just finished playing it a week ago. Hope you get it fixed, good luck.

Ha, it worked! Thanks a ton for helping me fix it! I am currently enjoying right now. It is good. :)
