Does the launcher have TexMod support? If so I can't find it, and it's getting annoying to have to use the TexMod launcher instead every time I want to use the Joker AK skin. I suppose I could if I didn't see a reason to use the AL anymore, but I'm just going through all my options first.
The legacy version has Texmod support, the current version doesn't. Texmod is generally considered obsolete and mods should be ported for TFC Installer.
I am having trouble running the game. the log says it cant find ambient occlusion and that hbao+ = false, along with higher privileges being denied. I'm not sure if its because of the launcher or not. I'll paste the full log if you need me to.
If you're trying to run the launcher with elevated permissions (as admin), you have to grant it permissions by clicking 'yes' when Windows prompts you. You don't need to run it as admin though, only when you are trying to enable hbao+.
How do I enable hbao+? the launcher doesnt open at all because its disabled, and i wasnt able to find it in any of the setting files. the launcher did not open even when i ran it as administrator, just immediately logged the error with the same issue as before.
Seems like the launcher isn't allowed to create or edit config files. This could be related to your AV/UAC settings or you might have manually set the config files to read-only in the past. That is something you have to check on your end. You can also try right-clicking the application, open up properties and select the checkbox to unblock the program.
what settings would i possibly have to change in the control panel? i just checked if they were read only, they were at first but i realized it was because i wasnt selecting the file (?) no clue what settings to change, I would appreciate if you told me which setting in control panel needs to be changed.
I have checked everything you said to,m as far as I know it should have the necessary permissions to change other files. would config files having perms cause problems?
I haven't told you to do anything in your control panel. Config files that you have edited and set to read-only in the past cause problems because the program can't overwrite files you made read-only. Either remove the read-only mark on all config files or delete them and let the launcher regenerate them.
will do, I will get back to you if it doesnt work. I will just try verifying iontegrity files if this doesn't work. I just realized I should have said this earlier, but I was getting a cloud unhandled exception before I installed the advanced launcher. as far as i know though, that was onedrive not being on or having to reinstall .net runtime 60
Verifying integrity won't actually do anything for your config files. You don't have to waste your time with that. Another thing you can do is try running the launcher, then open Event Viewer -> Windows Logs -> Application. Find the error in there and see what it says.
Love the launcher. But it would be even better if it let the user create separate secondary keybinds for the counter/aim gadget actions like you can with the original launcher.
Hey! Fresh PC (7900xtx, 9800x3d) and am having quite a few issues with this game. Just installed this mod, and when trying to launch the game, I get a general protection fault error, I will post the entire message below. Really wish I could get this game running but its seeming like a less and less likelihood of being able to :(
I have the same issue. Installed the game, ran it once and it ran fine. Copied the files from here into the Binaries folder and am getting the exact same error.
I'm getting an issue where whenever i install this launcher it only recognises the PC's integrated GPU rather than my 7900 series. As a result it refuses to launch because of anti-aliasing 1x requirements lol. Never happened with any other game, disabled the 2nd gpu in BIOS, deleted all files disabled steam cloud reinstalled checked config files ran compatibility with windows 8.
I've isolated the issue to as soon as i run the launcher. Any pointers??
(I'm trying to play AA for the first time any help is much much appreciated)
What do you mean "won't launch"? The launcher will start the game executable and let you edit your graphics settings whether you have an RTX 4090 or a burnt toast as your GPU. If an error pops up that complains about minimum requirements, that is not coming from the launcher but directly from the game itself.
That's a different issue than the one mentioned above.
If you've used an outdated launcher before swapping to this version, you can try deleting existing config files. C:\Users\-User-\Documents\Square Enix\Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY\BmGame\ConfigDelete all files in that folder and run the launcher again.
Same issue. It detects my integrated GPU, when I try to launch it with MSAA I also get the anti-aliasing 1x requirements pop up and can't play. If I turn off MSAA it works fine. Any idea?
The vanilla launcher also uses 10 as a value when setting 8xQ MSAA. Truth be told, I'm not 100% certain what causes this issue, but the AA value for 8x is correct.
EDIT: I've found the issue and will publish a fix soon. The game uses different values for NVIDIA (AA value set to '10') and other GPUs (AA value set to '8') - 8xQ MSAA vs 8x MSAA. I've programmed the launcher to always use 10 because I was not aware of this difference. Until the fix is published, just use 4x MSAA.
EDIT²: I've published a fix. Make sure you apply your graphics settings again before launching the game.
I know that if you use shift on crouch then you won't be able to do a ground takedown, it just doesn't allow the takedown. I think it has something to do with shift + left/right mouse button for special moves even when re-binded to separate keys. Just set crouch to a different button then use something like Sharpkeys to then rebind random button to shift, that way you can just press shift to equal to random crouch button without the weird stuff happening. I personally use crouch on alt then rebound alt to shift with Sharpkeys so anytime I press shift the computer reads alt = crouch ingame.

This does not look like a launcher issue.

You can try it and let me know.
but haven't figured out how to use a custom bind to change the FOV yetCan custom bind at least one FOV to Steam key + down arrow == TAB key
