hamberger Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 The update just went up on Steam to remove GFWL from Arkham City on PC. This means you can no longer get XBox achievements in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Kyuss Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Bit of a pisser, I went to activate it today after seeing that it was updated and I found out they also removed the CD-key from the GFWL version too. Anyone know if the disc version will still work properly? I'm assuming it would as the disc version of AA still works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katakonik Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I just loaded up the non-GOTY version of AC and I still have access to GFWL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teloda Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 It's tried updating for me, but I paused the download, set the game to not update automatically and then went offline in Steam. As long as the update hasn't actually installed and you're in offline mode in steam you should be able to start the game and GFWL should still load up.

Teloda Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Never came across the update you're reffering to. Can you be more precise on how you did it? It's simply the update to remove the GFWL interface from the game. If you go into your library -> right click on Arkham City -> Properties -> updates -> in the drop down box select "Do not automatically update this game" close the window, put steam in offline mode and then run the game. If GFWL pops up your good to go, if not then your game has been updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got in the game and still had no option in signing in. Perhaps the update is within the installation, and therefore you cannot get rid of the update anymore :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the update is within the installation, and therefore you cannot get rid of the update anymore :/ The update becomes a part of the base install after it goes live on Steam, it isn't like GFWL where you have to install the update after the initial install. Your only other option would be buying the GOTY retail disk, I highly doubt that will be changed over to Steam because the update would have to go through the GFWL service.

thereefernander Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Batman AC retail disc = GFWL Achievements? I was still able to get achievements on Halo 2 and Tinker while signed in to GFWL not very long ago. Really want to get this and Asylum and 100% them to get all Batman achievements.
