THE BUZZ: Rocksteady has finally released a patch for the PC version of Batman: Arkham City in order to fix the save game file corruption issues that have been plaguing the game for months.

The patch should prevent the glitch from occurring anymore and may even restore some of the corrupted saves. The full patch notes:

Occurrences of Save File Corruption
Achievement re-locking issues
Crossfire/SLI Issues
Graphical flickering
FPS improvements when running crossfire
Instances of 32 bit memory problems
Improvements to performance in cut scenes and death taunts
Error messages removed when patching the game and improved patching process

EGM’s TAKE: Many fans will be happy to finally have this issue resolved, considering how long it has been around. However, a lot of fans chose to abandon the game after their save files got corrupted and will probably never come back, which is bad news for Rocksteady, and worse news for the fans considering how good the game really is. At least the issue is fixed now.

Matthew Bennett finally got his big break with EGM three years ago, following years of volunteer work for various sites. An ability to go many hours without sleep and a quick wit make him ideal for his role as associate editor at EGMNOW.com. He often thinks back to the days when the very idea of this career seemed like nothing but an impossible dream. Follow him on Twitter @mattyjb89. Meet the rest of the crew.
