Batman Arkham Asylum: help with my saved game.

I have the Steam version, and it would be the first time I was going to play it with my new rig.

The hardware has changed (not the hard disk though), so I had to reenter the serial. Windows Live asked for it too, everything ok.

The saved game is still there, in C:\Users\XXXX\Documents\Square Enix\Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY\SaveData.

But the game doesn't read it, so I would have to start over! No way in the nine hells I'm going to do that, out of the question, I wouldn't have the patience nor the time!

I had just entered the Arkham Mansion, the last time I played.

.

One crucial question:

How can I force the game to "see" the save files and resume from where it left off?

This is so frustrating... :(

Thanks in advance.

I had that problem when I re-installed Windows because I didn't back up my Windows Live offline profile data. Without the profile data, my game save was useless. So I started over..

If you have the saves from Documents/Eidos/Batman:AA you have to create a new profile and then see its folder appear in the saves folder then copy your saves over.Koraboros

For a moment I thought I was saved... unfortunately, this is what happened:

If I remember correctly you have to rename the folder where your save is so that it matches (serial number?) of the save file. I remember having to do something similar with my SFIV save. But I forgot how to do it exactly ask Mr.Google.anolecrabcf

Oh, I had already done that, to no avail.

I read a bazillion URLs about the exact same issue, and NOT ONE solved.

Even managed to download some game saves, only to get the same "corrupt save" message... :cry:

I can't believe that there's no workaround for something apparently so simple... :|

Man, thanks so much for putting the solution here! Just what I needed right now, and I got it working your way after fiddling around for it for quite a while. The future generation's gratitude is yours.
