Batman: Arkham Asylum is not saved. Causes and methods of solving the problem

Batman series: Arkham has already become a real masterpiece. Millions of gamers eagerly follow the adventures of the Dark Knight and look forward to the release of new parts. It all began in the distant 2009, when Batman: Arkham Asylum first appeared on the shelves of gaming stores.

Immediately after the release the game was warmly received by both critics and ordinary gamers. It's not surprising because the developers have worked hard at glory and made a real masterpiece both in terms of the plot, and in terms of gameplay.

But, despite the positive moments, the project was not devoid of any shortcomings. For example, there is a bug due to which Batman: Arkham Asylum is not saved. It is about him, as well as the methods of eliminating the problem, will be discussed in the article.

Unlicensed version

Of course, pirates could not ignore such a popular game as Batman: Arkham Asylum. The first hacked versions appeared almost on the day of the official release. Naturally, there is no question of any compatibility checks for such repacks with different PC configurations, so it's no surprise that gamers started to have problems with preservations.

If you are the owner of an unlicensed version of the game and at the same time Batman: Arkham Asylum is not saved, then try to search for the solution to the problem on the site from which you downloaded the repack. In addition, try installing the distribution from another pirated release group, after removing all the old files. Sometimes this helps, although not guaranteed.

However, do not forget that it is best to buy a licensed version of the game. In this case, you can contact the technical department of the company-developer and try to solve the problem in this way.

Cyrillic in the folder name

Another reason that the game Batman: Arkham Asylum is not saved, can be Cyrillic in the name of the folders that are on the way to the installed files. Many Russian-speaking gamers have faced a similar problem, and it was solved only after using the Latin alphabet.

Suppose that the folder into which you installed "Batman" is called "Games". In this case, you need to assign it any other name containing only Latin characters (for example, Games). It is also superfluous to remove the game beforehand, and then install it in a new directory.

If all of the above does not help you and Batman: Arkham Asylum is not saved, try renaming the folder containing the save ("My Documents"), as well as the user profile of the operating system.

Incorrect installation

As trite as it sounds, but sometimes during the installation of the game there are unforeseen errors that lead to malfunctioning of the application. It is likely that one of such problems led to the fact that Batman: Arkham Asylum is not stored on your computer.

To exclude this, try simply reinstalling the game. In this case, it's a good idea to pre-defrag the hard disk, as well as check the file system for errors.

In addition, make sure that the hard drive of your computer is not damaged. This can be done with special programs designed to monitor the status of the HDD.

Problems with Games for Windows Live

If you have tried all of the above methods, but can not understand why Batman: Arkham Asylum is not saved, then the solution should be looked for in the incorrect operation of the Games for Windows Live service. This is a special program from Microsoft, responsible for the online component of the game. That it can cause the appearance of bugs in "Batman", for the elimination of which you need to do the following:

1. Completely remove all GFWL files from your computer.
2. Download the latest version of the program from the official site, install it, and then create a user profile (if you do not already have it).
3. Run the game and check to see if there is a problem.

In addition, there is such an opportunity in Batman Arkham Asylum, how to save without live. For this you need:

1. Press the Home key in the main game menu.
2. Select in the GFWL settings "Create a local profile".
3. Fill in all the fields and save the changes.

After that, the game will cease to require a permanent connection to the Web, and the problem with the save should disappear. If this is not the case, you can try installing the "Windows Live Sign-in Assistant" by downloading it from the Microsoft website.

Errors in Windows 10

Batman: Arkham Asylum is a fairly old game, so when you try to start it on Windows 10, you might have problems with saving. The cause of these problems is the same GFWL, and to fix them you can do the following:

1. Delete all GFWL files from the computer, as well as all entries about this program in the registry. To do this, you can use special programs (for example, CCleaner).
2. Download the installer of the latest version of GFWL from the official site and put in it a compatibility mode with Windows XP.
3. Install GFWL and create a local profile.

After all these actions, the problem with the fact that Batman: Arkham Asylum (Windows 10) is not preserved, should be lost. If this did not work, then try to set compatibility mode with Windows XP not only for GFWL, but for the game itself.

Viruses

And finally, computer viruses can be another cause of storage problems. It is possible that they interfere with the application and, as a result, lead to all sorts of errors.

To check the computer for viruses, you can use both the built-in tools of the operating system ("Windows Defender") and special programs from the developers of the anti-virus software (Dr.Web, "Kaspersky").

After all threats are neutralized, try restarting the game and saving it. If the problem persists, then the viruses managed to damage important files and only the complete reinstallation of Batman: Arkham Asylum will help you.

If you have tried absolutely all the solutions, but the game refuses to be saved, then you should contact the technical support of the developer company.
