I have problems when trying to run PROPHET's Batman: Arkham Asylum GOTY.. please help

[sensdeath]

I have downloaded torrent file from here:

https://thepiratebay.se/torrent/9073104/...on-PROPHET

I installed it, copied both "steam" files from PROPHET folder and placed them in game's directory (Binaries folder). When I run the game and click on "PLAY" game stops working.

I have Steam installed, but I think problem is with Games For Windows Live. I heard it's not available anymore for Windows 8. That's the OS I am using. But I googled "Games For Windows Live" and instantly downloaded it from one of the first offered links. Installed it, but I am still unsure is that working properly because one exe file reports that there is no Internet connection which is not true, other one loads a window which offers me to log in. I have an account but does not want to log in. Anyways, as I recall.. I don't have to log in because crack does that for me. Unfortunately, there must be something twisty with GFWL, and I don't know how to fix it since game itself is probably working on it.

I've tried to:

-running the game as an administrator
-adding the game on Antivirus exceptions list
-allowing and blocking Internet connection for the game in Firewall
-turning off Antivirus completely
-tried running the game with all offered compatibility modes
-tried changing folder's or exe's names
-tried deleting game's folder in My Documents
-tried adding game's folder in My Documents to the Antivirus exceptions list
-installed the latest graphics driver
-tried re-installing Microsoft Visual C+ several times
-installed PhysX and DirectX several times
-tried installing the game in different disc
-tried downloading few different cracks

Nothing works. But I have to point out that deleting game's folder in My Documents prevents the crash, but it also terminates game from loading and returns me to the screen offering to play the game. That's how I got the clue this might be the problem with GFWL because if I am not wrong.. GFWL creates save files. And I actually tried to pay attention in the inside of "SaveData" folder, while game loads.. game doesn't create anything.

I have not yet tried disabling Antivirus while installing the game, it's very late here and I'll have to go sleep now, so I'll try that later. But I am skeptical that would help, unless Antivirus secretly deletes files while game installs which I doubt it happens. Because my Antivirus would notify me about that, and setup might display the error during the installation.

I don't have much problems with installation, but with running the game.

I am little bit of suspicious of Microsoft Visual C+, PhysX and DirectX. I was just running those installation setups which came with the torrent. Does by any chance, it makes a difference if I try downloading latest of those from the net? I don't know that does make any sense, game is made in 2009.

Please help me out with this. I have the game uninstalled right now, and I am seriously tired of tried to run it. Been doing this for days and it's pain in the ass.

If you can't help me out, can you suggest me to other forum or something which might help me? I don't know where to ask, since pirating is much unwelcome in legal sites. Thanks in advance.

P.S. Here's the picture of my problem:

Have you downloaded the font the game requires? Do you have an AMD GPU? Then you should try disableing Anti-Aliasing in the Launcher.

Did You create a "Local Profile" aka offline account on GFWL ?? I used the Reloaded version and looking at My install instructions, it looks like i replaced the 756KB BrmStartApp with one that is 55Kbs ?? If making a local profile doesn't help I can try installing My copy in a day or two if I'm not too busy

No, I haven't downloaded the font. Can you give me a link? Right now I have issues with Windows Installer (doesn't want to uninstall programs) so after I reinstall Windows, I'll give that a try. I don't have AMD GPU, I actually have Intel HD Graphics and NVIDIA GeForce 610M. I've tried running the game with Anti-Aliasing turned off, in the matter of fact.. I did that right away before I run the game for the first time. But in case you're wondering, AMD GPU shouldn't be problem, because I was running this game 2-3 years ago on the same laptop I am trying to run it now. I still think GFWL is the cause of it. However, I have not heard anything about downloading the font for the game, so download link would be welcomed.

I haven't created offline account on GFWL, because I don't know how to. When I run "GFWLClient.exe" I get this window:

And it doesn't mention anything about offline account. It says that I need to sign in with existing account or create new one. But then again, I have existing account and it doesn't want to log in.

When I run "GFWLive.exe" this is what I get:

And when I click on "OK", here's what the page says:

Can you give me a link of the RELOADED crack? I've tried downloading some sort of RELOADED crack, but one of the game exes was reporting some error, I don't remember which one and other ones was crashing at startup like with PROPHET's crack. Right now, I have problems with Windows Installer, it looks like it's corrupted, so tomorrow I'll reinstall Windows, and then I'll try using that RELOADED crack of yours. Please, if you don't mind, try installing the game yourself, assuming that you have same GOTY edition by PROPHET.

You could try this crack, don't know if it works with the GOTY version or if this was the one you were talking about

https://thepiratebay.se/torrent/5089772/...y-RELOADED

you should also try this torrent

https://thepiratebay.se/torrent/6110019/...10_TRiViUM

playing pirated games can be a bitch, good luck

Thanks for posting these, I'll definitely try that out tomorrow after I reinstall Windows. I have few problems with Windows Installer so I'll notify you with the results once I try those out.

Yeah, pirated games are tricky. Not really proud of being pirate myself, but I always look on the bright side. These companies which make games are rich anyways.

EDIT: Crack not working, need other solutions.
