Master Control Program glitch for PC

[chachi2605]

I've been playing Batman: Arkham City without any issues on PC (I bought the game from Amazon, not Steam) but I've run into a major glitch that isn't letting me finish the game.

After being saved by Catwoman, I scanned the helicopters until I found the one containing the Master Control Program. Once I found the correct one, I witnessed Batman removing the MCP and telling Oracle he had the MCP. Unfortunately, when I try to get through the TYGER security gate, it says that I'm missing the MCP.

I see other people are having this same error. If a patch as been released, can someone please direct me to it so that I may download it?

I am using Windows 7 (64-bit).

I figured out how to get around the problem!

First of all, I updated the drivers to my graphics card. I'm not actually sure if that did the trick because I did a few other things, but I'm just listing everything I did.

I did not buy my game from Steam; I bought it off Amazon. Whenever I initially logged into the game, something for Games for Windows Live would pop up. Not seeing any need to create a "log-in" and "profile", I skipped the process creating a username called "Batman" (I know, not very original). After being very frustrated with this Master Control Program issue for a while, I realized that other people had this mistake, and there must have been some kind of patch released to repair it (I found out Steam released theirs a while ago). Being that I bought my game from Amazon, the only way I would get the patch was if I created a valid username and profile through Games for Windows Live. I created a profile online, and the next time I turned on Arkham City, I chose the new login name instead of "Batman."

I immediately noticed a change. Arkham City had to restart in an attempt to download an update, and when the game opened up again, I now had two different logins ("Batman", and the one I setup properly through Games for Windows Live). When I chose the new account, I noticed my game was no longer saved. When I went back and logged in as "Batman", not only was my game was still there, but I was now able to hack through the TYGER gate despite having done other things since I scanned the helicopter and got the MCP. When I finish the game, I'll eventually delete the "Batman" profile to avoid future problems.

Summary:
1) Update graphics card.
2) Create a login account through Games for Windows Live.
3) Startup Arkham City and log in under the new login.
4) Have the game shut and update.
5) When game starts again, try to play the game under whatever login account you had been using previously.

Hope that helps!
