Essential improvements

Patches

The normal version of Arkham Asylum is currently at version 1.1. It is highly recommended to update to the latest version if you haven't already.
The GOTY edition of the game does not need any patches, version 1.0 (as shown in the title screen) already has all the fixes.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/35140/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (35140) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
