cant remap controls on pc version

mrk · 15 Sep 2009 at 14:43

You can?!

MrMacca · 15 Sep 2009 at 14:45

You can remap the controls, just run the Launcher. 3 Tabs at the top, 2nd and 3rd are the ones you want.

Just been into a high street retailer which sells games (No, not that one, the other one) and they are selling this for £34.99.

I laughed, said thank you, then walked out.

STEAM> Greedy retailers for the win

You can buy the retail version online for £24-26 with a bonus map if you preorder from a major high st shop.

Yea I have tried to but nothing happens with a logitech rumblepad 2

It's fine with a XBOX360 wireless pad as I've tried. It's a GFW game so MUST work with all cofigs of a XBOX pad but does not have to fully support 3rd party pads in its entirity!

This is my beef with PC games at the moment.

The DirectX API makes it easy for programmers to support ANY gamepad which is DirectX compatible although as most choose to support the 360 pad exclusively which I dont get as it would be SOOO easy to make them compatible with almost ANY controller.

Wow, really great, i am waiting for it :rolleyes:

Xpadder solves this as its free and you can use it to convert any PC game (even kb+mouse only) into supporting any USB gamepad Windows can see. You may need to look for an older version as the programmer charges for the newer one now but any xpadder app will work properly anyway. Cannot blame MS for wanting to enforce hardware stds as the lack of this is what drives mainstream gamers to the consoles (amongst other many things).

I "acquired" this game early, but I like it so I laid down some green and pre-ordered

Good games deserve being paid for

Got an email my copy should be here tomorrow

Totality · 15 Sep 2009 at 20:44

Not going well so far! Took over 15 mins to install then when I decide to run it Kaspersky detects a virus and deletes the .exe file meaning I have to install again. Thanks Kaspersky - Uninstalled too!

Got my copy in the post today, paid a little under £17 from the place that used to be Virgin. Only problem I'm having so far is when I try to sign into LIVE it prompts me to install an update which doesn't seem to work.

Fantastic game though, well worth the wait over the console version.

I'm at the same stage now with regards to the update. First update for Windows Live sits there for about 10mintes then suddenly pops up and installs (it would appear the progress bar doesnt actually relate to the download so you have no idea how long you have to wait!).

The game restarted and it said there was an update for the game. The same update bar zoomed across to 90% and just sits there. Is it downloading or has it hung! Who knows. I've just minimised the game and leaving it for a while. Pretty poor show compared to the demo which presented itself very well

barmyllama · 15 Sep 2009 at 21:18

The sound goes off when I play.

The cut scenes are fine, but as soon as Croc appears as you are walking the Joker through Arkham right at the begining, I loose sound.

Demo worked flawlessly

Totality · 15 Sep 2009 at 21:25

The update is still downloading in the background looking at the network monitor. Can anyone confirm how big the patch is that has managed to get it to work? The progress bar just sits at 90% and it doesn't say how big the update is!

I knew as soon as I saw activation servers and zero day patches I would have problems

so it could be true about that patch what rocksteady will be releasing on friday,to stop all the pirates from playing the game,But for the people who have it early they might have to wait till friday for it to work properly! I might be wrong?!
