INI Method
Warning! In some cases using .ini method causes total loss of gameplay sound (Like fighting or ambient sounds) in this case it is recommended to use the above swf method. |
Game data[edit]
In-game general settings.
- A well-written post on the Steam Users' Forums about the way the game handles save data. Note that this forum post is only relevant to the deprecated GFWL version.

Convert GFWL savegames to Steamworks[edit]
Use GFWL-stripper |
Transfer/Migrate/Convert Xbox360 save games to Epic Store version[edit]
Note: this is bit more involved and manual than the removing GFWL above, but still easy. '0x' refers to hexadecimal values e.g. 0x10 means 'the hexadecimal value 10 (decimal 16) NOT decimal 10'.
- Make a note of the save(s) you want to use on the PC version as above i.e. save 0, 1, 2, and/or 3
- Insert a USB flashdrive into your Xbox360
- Use your Xbox360 Settings menu to copy your Arkham City savegames to the drive
- Complete transfer of files to your PC - there will be a 'Content' folder on your USB drive, and your saves will be in it, search for the files
save0.sgd
,save1.sgd
etc depending on which you want to convert - Open the save file you want to transfer in your hex editor
- Go to offset
0xD000
, or search for the first occurence of0x9E2A83
- I have only seen this near position0xD000
in my saves, but it may vary. - Delete everything before position
0xD000
- You should end up with a file starting with
0x00 0x00 0x00 0x03
- Insert 4 bytes of
00 80 04 00
at the start. - Your file will now begin
00 80 04 00 00 00 00 03
... - Save your changes.
- Copy your edited save into the correct folder as documented above, or in Youtube - TUTORIAL Batman Arkham How To Install SaveGames
Transfer/Migrate/Convert Steam save games to Epic Store version[edit]
- Open your save file in your hex editor.
- It will start with
00 00 00 03
. - Insert the 4 bytes
00 80 04 00
at the start of the file, so it now starts00 80 04 00 00 00 00 03
- Save the file and transfer to the save folder as documented above.
Transferring Epic to Steam is presumably the reverse of this, but I haven't tried it - feel free to attempt and update this page.

Fix for missing Catwoman controls[edit]
- While able to do the 'quickfire disarm' for Catwoman while using a gamepad, this move is unusable with a keyboard, as it has no button associated with it.

- Sometimes Penguin statues may become invisible, and cannot be destroyed, but can be locked on with a batarang.
