Batman Vengeance, is a 3D action-adventure based on the animated television series. The game pits players as the Dark Knight himself on a quest to stop a mysterious crime wave in Gotham City. Batman has full freedom of movement to go anywhere within wide-open, sprawling 3D environments — some that stretch up and up and up. The caped crusader can walk, run, sneak against walls, climb, glide through the air with his cape and engage in hand-to-hand combat. The game features 19 stages, 40 minutes of rendered cinematics, and plenty of Bat gadgets, like batarangs, batgrapples, flash bombs, remote charges, batcuffs, nets, the batlauncher, batscope and more.

Problems

Stuttering Cutscenes

FMV Cutscenes may stutter. Setting Dolphin's emulated CPU clock speed to 200% may fix this problem. Information on modifying the game-specific ini file for CPU Overclocking can be found here.

Very Quiet Voices

Voices may sound extremely quiet at some points in the game.

FMV Purple Bars

Some FMV's have a thick purple bar in the lower part of the screen. Go to Graphics > Hacks > uncheck "Store XFB Copies to Texture Only" to fix it.

Enhancements

16:9 Widescreen Gecko Code

Note: the game might start jumping back and forth between 4:3 and 16:9 in some areas when these codes are used. This can be avoided by forcing the 16:9 aspect ratio. Information on modifying the game-specific ini file to force aspect ratios can be found here.

Testing

This title has been tested on the environments listed below:

Test Entries
Revision	OS	CPU	GPU	Result	Tester
r6252	Windows 7	Intel Core i7 @ 3.53 GHz	ATI Radeon HD 5770	Unplayable: Crashes and Hangs
r7624	Ubuntu 10.04	AMD Phenom II X3	NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT	Very playable - must change settings as noted above for cutscenes, but in-game works great and runs smooth.	Keller999
4.0-7840	Windows 10	AMD FX-8320 @ 4.1 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970	Very Playable - cutscenes are glitched and sometimes stutter, cannot find fix for this issue. Other than that the game runs great at a solid 60 fps.	Noahfense
5.0-11843	Windows 10	Intel Core i7-6700K @ 4.0 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080	Configuration: 1440p with widescreen enabled through Gecko code. Game version: USA. Runs great under Vulkan, at consistent 60 FPS. The game does sometimes jump back and forth between 4:3 and 16:9 when the Gecko code is enabled, this is fixed by forcing 16:9 in the game's ini. Encountered stuttering cutscenes, fixed with no side effects by setting Dolphin's emulated CPU overclock to 200% via ini. Only major problem I couldn't fix is that voices are often too quiet (regardless of CPU overclock).	hman360
