So uh when i click "run" in TexMod it opens the Advanced Launcher instead of the game, and i end up in a loop Update: Ok so i did it again and it worked now, it might have been because i didn't actually open the game before installing the mods
You are the best! Unfortunately I experience the same/similar issue when using the textmod (shippingpc-bmgame.exe and 'Additional_Textures.tpf): >Clicking "Run" just doesn't do anything / goes in a loop?< 1. Do I need to launch the game once before any modding? (as @BrunoSantos-jp1lv suggests)? 2. ReShade install (Other than the described steps 7:27 there is no need for any other steps, right? No download of "ReShade 6.1.1"... is needed right?)
Just found out about the death of Kevin Conroy and want to do a marathon of the whole series (yes, including Origins and Origins Blackgate) in release order as a personal homage. This tutorial to make it look better is a blessing. Thank you, great work!
2024 UPDATE. if you're confused on why the txtmod is not running even after selecting or not the Additional_textures, thats because the target you're using is the wrong one, i made that mistake. The target file you're supposed to click IS SHIPPINGPC-BMGAME, BUT without the .exe text next to it, it also has the batman icon, if clicked the other with the .exe text it won't work also the icon is a file icon so there, now you can properly play
Easily one of the BEST mod install videos. i had alot of it and some of the reshade steps are a bit different now. But awesome awesome video!!!! A++++++++
@@VeryThickBoy When i installed the texture .bat mine installed the textures and when i try run the game it says a .dll is missing? the games broke for me now uninstalled it. obviously the .dll should be there it is a legit steam version?
It's amazing to play this game for the umpteenth time, now in native 4K and over 100fps. It's even a better experience than the RTA version. Thanks man.
To anyone looking into doing this now, the hex editing for the PC ports of the PS3 DLC has been automated with the addition of a patch that can be found on the Asylum Reborn steam guide.
Wow, thanks so much man! Didn't need the Joker DLC cause I had that already modded in already, but everything else (which I had trouble following the manual before) was so easy to understand. Really appreciate this and hoping you'd do an Arkham City Texture pack modding tutorial too. That would be awesome.
fanstastic video!!!!!! It does appear that the advance launcher is not broken though. Keybindings do not work and settings revert often. Trying to troubleshoot now.
Holy shit dude god bless you i couldnt for the life of me figure out how to use hex edit i tired using the Microsoft free to use hex editors and they sucked hxd actually works and its very easy to follow god bless you my man so happy right now i followed the directions and now it works!!!!
personally I don't really like the changes made on the Return To Arkham Remaster bundle especially for Arkham Asylum so this is exactly what I've been looking for & what the actual remaster should have been, plus the playable Joker DLC from PS3 is also a great addition for someone like me who now has a PC but originally had Arkham Asylum on the Xbox 360 so I missed out on that & PS4 doesn't have the game with that PS3 exclusive DLC & I'm not willing to go back & buy a PS3 for 1 game so this is a GOD SEND! Thank you
I just finished City on PC and the official remaster of it just looks plain wrong. Lighting and character models have been butchered to the point they stuck lights to areas that were intentionally dark and skin textures look like they're made with wax with some paint on.
Thanks for this easy to follow tutorial man. Kind of a shame the modding scene for Asylum isn't bigger, though maybe modding Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas just made me think that'd be how it'd be for every game lol
Followed everything minutiously like you explained. Not only did it not launch (error message was something like "General protection... couldn't find files", now without the mods the game isn't launchable either. It corrupted something very deep in the Nvidia files I have yet to find. :/ Already reinstalled the game twice (deleted the whole thing).
What I wouldn’t give to replay the Arkham games on PC. I’ve still got mine laying around plus I have all the Arkham games on steam so even better. I might even clean, upgrade and fix it eventually
@@VeryThickBoy while you wait for the release of the mod maybe you could make a tutorial for Batman Arkham Origins. From what i noticed, there are already mods that were released for that game ;) P.S: sorry for my bad english, it's not my native language :/
To be honest, original visuals of this game is still looking great even these days. Sure, not many people will think that way, but i don't care. For me, this game is still looking awsome. Thus why, i don't see a need in some visual mods like Arkham Asylum Reborn or some other stuff. And more importantly, i do not play the games to see their visuals. I play them for entertainment and fun aspect. Because of the gameplay. And that is why i love Arkham Asylum. Because, it's gameplay is still cool as if i was playing it the first time. But, the only useful mod from this video, is the one that adds The Joker as playable DLC character for challenges mode and new challenge DLC maps. That is a really cool stuff. Everything else doesn't matter. For me, at least. Also, the only visual mods that i would play this game with, is those that gives Batman, or other in game characters, new look. Like, Batman in BvS costume, or The Joker in his cartoon styled look. Heck, i can even make some of those mods myself, if i want to.
Oopsies. Forgor. 1. Click the folder under the phrase "Target Application" 2. Look for Batman: Arkham Asylum's exe (shippingpc-bmgame.exe) and click 'open' 3. To load the additional textures, click the folder located to the right of the text "Package Name" 4.

THICK BOY PIN THIS" IF YOUR HAVIGN ISSUES LAUNCHING THE GAME DELETE IT AND REDOWNLAD THEN VERIFY INTERRITY OF FILES ON STEAM "DO NOT DOWNLOAD THE JOKER DLC THAT IS WHAT BREAKS IT IDK WHY BUT IT DOES
I'd say objectively it looks better. More 'realistic' lighting: higher quality shadow maps (without mods), more accurate and higher res ambient occlusion, SSR (screen space reflections), higher poly models/most if not all of the textures were redraw at higher resolutions, AND the addition of rain back in Asylum (which we still can't implement on PC). But art design wise, it completely lost it's original look and was made to look more cartoony. Who the fuck thought that was a good idea? Hugo Strange and Joker got the worst treatment imo. Also, a 45 FPS cap AND a dynamic 1080p is kinda cringe. Anyway... yeah :D
@@Paccyd33 at least the arkham games got actual remasters the prototype games only got shitty ports and the franchise has been left in the dirt buried and forgotten most people don't even know the games even exist
Great video and mod! Super duper clear and concise, incredibly easy installation with no hiccups! I just wanted to play a modernized version of this game without the remaster’s fucked up Batman mouth and I got it!
I've noticed a couple of people have the same niggling isue I have. Whenever text appears on screen the brightness goes up then back down when the on screen text disappears. I tried the advice in the trobleshooting (disabling MXAO and enabling HBAO). Is there another fix at all? EDIT - I think I've just fixed it. Turn off Anti-Aliasing in the Advanced Graphics of the advanced launcher if you're using Reshade (as per the advice on the launcher).
2 years late but, what do i do when this error pops up after opening the file to install the textures? Error: Directory '.\BmGame\CookedPC' couldn't be created (error 3: The system cannot find the path specified.)
hm, not sure exactly how to help. i’d suggest starting from scratch with a new install. check the steam guide carefully too, that’s where the bulk of my info comes from. good luck!
possibly, not sure. check the steam guide for information about troubleshooting. my other suggestion would be to wipe the game and start from scratch (that would get rid of any corrupted files).
Hi, new pc user/modder here, I've been following your vid closely and made good progress up until the 4k cutscenes. I get an error code (0x80004005) when I put the movie folder in the directory, and it seems like that for every file in the 3 folders. I"m a windows 11 user, don't know if that means anything about this problem...
Hi! I've been trying to do everything described in this tutorial for around a week but I'm also running getting the exact same error with the 4k video files. Did you manage to find a fix for it please?
Don't know if anyone is still reading these comments or ran into this same issue, but I'm almost positive this happens because you're not using a program like WinRar or 7-Zip to unzip your files. I tried doing the same thing he does in the video using 7-Zip instead of just dragging and dropping the files and it worked just fine.
Everything worked fine for a while, but when I get to the ScareCrow intro cutscene where Batman is coming out of the elevator the game crashes after about 2-3 seconds as the camera raises from Batman's feet. The error says "Rendering Thread Exception: I/O Failure Operating on 'Unknown File.' Is this related to Hex Editor?
@@VeryThickBoy I believe something did, I verified the files and it worked, I had freshly installed Asylum and did Reborn before even playing it on this install. It worked after verifying the files but I had to set up Advanced launcher again. Just fixed it this morning
Thanks so much for such a helpful guide! The only issue I had was for some reason, when I clicked character trophies; the menu won't show up. Any resolution for that?
It's honestly not showing it's age that badly. Game design kind of is, like pretty much every boss fight, but it still looks great and plays better than most modern games
I just wanted the textures and did everything in that section got the custom BM launcher up and then I get to "Texmod" menu (you didn't cover that) and I get a "D'oh error sh*t happened " I then did it again and it just opens a new Texmod menu every time I add Additional textures then hit run....HELP!!!
not sure what’s going on with your install. is reshade installed next to the games exe? if anything, just reinstall the reshade presets into the directory.
edit: i’m dumb. replied thinking you said something else. yeah, i’m considering working on a tutorial for arkham city. if gpunity UPDATES THE TEXTURE PACK i will definitely make a video for it.
Just bought the Arkham collection on Steam for a pretty reasonable price. Gonna see if my low-mid range gaming laptop can handle these mods. It runs the base game at 60fps with no graphical errors or frame drops so here's hoping that I can do the game justice.
I love your video however I have a problem. Every time I go through the texmod I get "shit happens D'OH. I've looked at everything I could and I can't find anything other than a anti-virus program (which I don't have) or running it through administrator (which I tried).
@@VeryThickBoy I’m the same guy who made that comment I just didn’t know where I should have commented so I commented at both places. Edit: thanks for answering.
i know this video is a year old, but i got some questions here and there, first: do these mods interfire on steam achievements? and also is there a way to put translation in this game, i understand english just fine, but im willing to stream and not everebody knows it
oh and sorry to go on but do you think you could get something fixed with the advanced launcher for both Asylum and City, the launchers don't let you bind one action to two keys like the original launcher does. Thank you in advance!
1. Click the folder under the phrase "Target Application" 2. Look for Batman: Arkham Asylum's exe (shippingpc-bmgame.exe) and click 'open' 3. To load the additional textures, click the folder located to the right of the text "Package Name" 4. Locate and select the 'Additional_Textures.tpf' file (should be under 'Binaries' if you followed the tutorial all the way through. if not, it will be under 'Asylum Reborn - Extra\Additional Textures' which is packed with the HD Texture Pack install.) If everything went as directed "ADDITONAL_TEXTURES" will pop up under the "Package Name" box. 5. Click run
I wanted to play the base game look again so uninstalled and re-installed the game so I wouldn't have any of the texture mods, but my game seems to be completely broken now. Can you help me?
Doh, Shit happens. i tried everything but i get this message when launching? i also tried a recommendation of skipping the joker DLC step but still same result. anyone else have this?
When I try to run from texmod it shows an error "rendering thread exception..." I never got this error while running the game normally but after following this guide I can't even launch the game without this error popping.
Im having a problem...every time i try to start the game it shows me that i must install some missing frameworks and when i click in "yes" for "sownload now" nothing happens. Also my microsoft netframework is up to date... what should i do?
For some reason TexMod doesn't select the target application and package by itself. I tried reinstalling the game and did everything from scratch but it still doesn't work or do I have to select it manually each time, also for some reason ambient occlusion is greyed out for me
Hello!,I'm pretty sure I followed everything in the tutorial but for some reason when I try the challenges with Joker they don't load at all,it just stays in the loading screen,help please. :(
When I click "start the game" i have the textmode window opening then what do I have to choose (you skip that in the video) no matter what i put I end up with a "ship happened d'ho !". What i'm suppose to do ?
if you want to avoid using texmod follow these steps: 1. Click the folder under the phrase "Target Application" 2. Look for Batman: Arkham Asylum's exe (shippingpc-bmgame.exe) and click 'open' 3. Click run
I tried it following step by step but when I failed the process I tried to revert everything but now I’m missing game files so do you know how to reinstall the original game and it’s files?
Great tutorial but when i go to install HD textures i get the following error " Error: Directory'.\BmGame\CookedPC' Couldn't be created ( Error 3: The system cannot find the path specified) any ideas when I messed up?
hm. which version of the game are you installing the mod onto (epic games, steam, gog, etc.)? my recommendation would be to start from scratch: reinstall the game or verify the games files.
Sorry if this isnt the place to address my issues but I did everything as directed in the video, (and followed the pin comment) and the game won't run. It says a general protection fault. How do I fix that? EDIT: The only I didn't do in the video was hex edit. But that's because I already installed the joker dlc a long time ago

hm, not sure exactly how to help. i’d suggest starting from scratch with a new install. check the steam guide carefully too, that’s where the bulk of my info comes from. good luck!
It seems like the lighting changes drastically any time words appear on the screen and it's quite jarring - any idea why this is happening?
probably the shadow cascade bug thing. try turning down your shadow settings. check the guide for more info on it.
Same here, any solution?
I’m a fan of the 2008 unregistered hypercam 2 music near the beginning 🎶🎼🎼
What is that melody?!
Thank you soooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!! you are god
does this fix those super small subtitles while playing at 4K?
yeah, no current way to adjust hud size. maybe with UPK unlocker it might be a possibility. keep your eye out.
I didn't like how Batman looks on RTA anyway. They made him like he just had some botox injections on his face :'D So this mode is much better :D
My Reshade menu doesnt open even if i did how you said
Texmod doesnt start the game for me, just opens more texmod launchers.
never heard of that bug before. check the pinned comment or the steam guide for more info.
Thanks for the tutorial ;)
I have the screen changing every time changing light and dark (like a blink). Is it because of the shader?
possibly, not sure. check the steam guide for information about troubleshooting. my other suggestion would be to wipe the game and start from scratch (that would get rid of any corrupted files).
The reshade mod is repeatedly crashing my game before it even starts up so I guess I'm using vanilla for now.
maybe try reinstalling? i’m sorry that it’s not working :/
Hi, new pc user/modder here, I've been following your vid closely and made good progress up until the 4k cutscenes. I get an error code (0x80004005) when I put the movie folder in the directory, and it seems like that for every file in the 3 folders.
I"m a windows 11 user, don't know if that means anything about this problem...
Hi! I've been trying to do everything described in this tutorial for around a week but I'm also running getting the exact same error with the 4k video files. Did you manage to find a fix for it please?
@louisplays175 @hsk-jm6kh I used the old files, they don't have the error
Don't know if anyone is still reading these comments or ran into this same issue, but I'm almost positive this happens because you're not using a program like WinRar or 7-Zip to unzip your files. I tried doing the same thing he does in the video using 7-Zip instead of just dragging and dropping the files and it worked just fine.
the joker dlc didn't work for me i have no idea why everyone's dlc works besides mine I'm lost
Do I have to select the appropriate files for Textmod every time I boot or is there a one and done option?
every time you boot you sadly have to use texmod
Everything worked fine for a while, but when I get to the ScareCrow intro cutscene where Batman is coming out of the elevator the game crashes after about 2-3 seconds as the camera raises from Batman's feet. The error says "Rendering Thread Exception: I/O Failure Operating on 'Unknown File.' Is this related to Hex Editor?
hmmm. do you have any other files installed or have you tinkered with the files before installing asylum reborn? sounds like something corrupted.
@@VeryThickBoy I believe something did, I verified the files and it worked, I had freshly installed Asylum and did Reborn before even playing it on this install. It worked after verifying the files but I had to set up Advanced launcher again. Just fixed it this morning
Thanks so much for such a helpful guide! The only issue I had was for some reason, when I clicked character trophies; the menu won't show up. Any resolution for that?
did you turn off the hud by chance and/or have reshade on?
please bring guilde to next game :)
soooooooonnnnn
I hope it's ok to install the 4K cutscenes last. They kind of take way longer than everything else to download
Yeah that’s totally fine. only thing that would require to be installed first would be the texture/launcher.
It's honestly not showing it's age that badly. Game design kind of is, like pretty much every boss fight, but it still looks great and plays better than most modern games
I just wanted the textures and did everything in that section got the custom BM launcher up and then I get to "Texmod" menu (you didn't cover that) and I get a "D'oh error sh*t happened " I then did it again and it just opens a new Texmod menu every time I add Additional textures then hit run....HELP!!!
When i press the home key nothing pops up. I followed everything as well
not sure what’s going on with your install. is reshade installed next to the games exe? if anything, just reinstall the reshade presets into the directory.
@@VeryThickBoy I got it to work. I was pressing windows key the whole time smh
@@clumsy_s1381 lmao that’s funny. glad it worked out for you!
bro do for batman arkham city graphic mod pls
edit: i’m dumb. replied thinking you said something else. yeah, i’m considering working on a tutorial for arkham city. if gpunity UPDATES THE TEXTURE PACK i will definitely make a video for it.
Just bought the Arkham collection on Steam for a pretty reasonable price. Gonna see if my low-mid range gaming laptop can handle these mods. It runs the base game at 60fps with no graphical errors or frame drops so here's hoping that I can do the game justice.
I love your video however I have a problem. Every time I go through the texmod I get "shit happens D'OH. I've looked at everything I could and I can't find anything other than a anti-virus program (which I don't have) or running it through administrator (which I tried).
read the pinned comment or check the steam guide for more info
@@VeryThickBoy I’m the same guy who made that comment I just didn’t know where I should have commented so I commented at both places.
Edit: thanks for answering.
i know this video is a year old, but i got some questions here and there, first: do these mods interfire on steam achievements? and also is there a way to put translation in this game, i understand english just fine, but im willing to stream and not everebody knows it
oh and sorry to go on but do you think you could get something fixed with the advanced launcher for both Asylum and City, the launchers don't let you bind one action to two keys like the original launcher does. Thank you in advance!
How to start texmod? Launching Batman™ Arkham Asylum but at the bottom it says "texmod not found" in red texttexmod not found
1. Click the folder under the phrase "Target Application"
2. Look for Batman: Arkham Asylum's exe (shippingpc-bmgame.exe) and click 'open'
3. To load the additional textures, click the folder located to the right of the text "Package Name"
4. Locate and select the 'Additional_Textures.tpf' file (should be under 'Binaries' if you followed the tutorial all the way through. if not, it will be under 'Asylum Reborn - Extra\Additional Textures' which is packed with the HD Texture Pack install.)
If everything went as directed "ADDITONAL_TEXTURES" will pop up under the "Package Name" box.
5. Click run
I wanted to play the base game look again so uninstalled and re-installed the game so I wouldn't have any of the texture mods, but my game seems to be completely broken now. Can you help me?
Doh, Shit happens. i tried everything but i get this message when launching? i also tried a recommendation of skipping the joker DLC step but still same result. anyone else have this?
When I try to run from texmod it shows an error "rendering thread exception..." I never got this error while running the game normally but after following this guide I can't even launch the game without this error popping.
Im having a problem...every time i try to start the game it shows me that i must install some missing frameworks and when i click in "yes" for "sownload now" nothing happens. Also my microsoft netframework is up to date... what should i do?
I need help the Advance Launcher is not working for me I downloaded the NET 6 and it still not working I need Help!
When i drag and drop 4k Cutscenes i've got error 0x80004005 same with all folders.
For some reason TexMod doesn't select the target application and package by itself. I tried reinstalling the game and did everything from scratch but it still doesn't work or do I have to select it manually each time, also for some reason ambient occlusion is greyed out for me
Did you get to fix it?
@@TechVech0 No unfortunately not
i have the same problem
when i do the file from ps3 joker dlc in to the goty batman arkham asylum it dosent load
check the steam guide. there’s a new way to install the joker dlc.
@@VeryThickBoy Do you still get the achievements using the modpack, specifically The Joker DLC?
@@floydieistaken of course! it isn’t like bethesda games where you’re gatekepted from achievements
Hello!,I'm pretty sure I followed everything in the tutorial but for some reason when I try the challenges with Joker they don't load at all,it just stays in the loading screen,help please. :(
good evening I am blocked once the texmod launches it restarts the launcher for me while I want to access the game
I downloaded the joker dlc and followed your steps and reinstalled the game but I dont see the dlc ,did I miss a step?
After trying to launch, says shit happened, D'oh 😢
When I click "start the game" i have the textmode window opening then what do I have to choose (you skip that in the video) no matter what i put I end up with a "ship happened d'ho !". What i'm suppose to do ?
if you want to avoid using texmod follow these steps:
1. Click the folder under the phrase "Target Application"
2. Look for Batman: Arkham Asylum's exe (shippingpc-bmgame.exe) and click 'open'
3. Click run
I tried it following step by step but when I failed the process I tried to revert everything but now I’m missing game files so do you know how to reinstall the original game and it’s files?
Is there a way to boot through the game without having to go through the 2 menus after setting up the mods?
Great tutorial but when i go to install HD textures i get the following error " Error: Directory'.\BmGame\CookedPC' Couldn't be created ( Error 3: The system cannot find the path specified) any ideas when I messed up?
hm. which version of the game are you installing the mod onto (epic games, steam, gog, etc.)? my recommendation would be to start from scratch: reinstall the game or verify the games files.
Did you fix it? How
Sorry if this isnt the place to address my issues but I did everything as directed in the video, (and followed the pin comment) and the game won't run. It says a general protection fault. How do I fix that?
EDIT: The only I didn't do in the video was hex edit. But that's because I already installed the joker dlc a long time ago
