The Xbox 360 version of Batman: Arkham City is said to be costing gamers hours upon hours of progress with a save file glitch that's corrupting data. Complaints have filled a 21-page forum thread, indicating that the issue may be more common than is comfortable.
Problems seem identical across all users, with the game completely unable to recognize the file's existence. No trick or fix appears to be able to bring it back on the user end. Needless to say, customers are not happy about it.
Warner Bros. is said to be working on a fix, but there's no timeframe, nor confirmation as to whether or not the files are lost forever.
I bet the PC gamers are glad they waited.

Let me know if this still works
Hopefully it gets patched when I finally start the game.
Not if you buy it on Steam - Steam Cloud FTW.
Shit like this can REALLLLLLY spoil a game. Personally if I'd put in 10+ hours then lost it all and had to start again, I probably wouldn't bother.
Oh well a few more days and I can get Zelda instead. Hopefully this is resolved by the time I beat that.
Stream to tv and use a pad and its a better than a console
2. Put it into a PC, and got to the [Drive Letter]:\Xbox360 folder.
3. Backup your Data0001 and Data0002 files (NOT Data0000)
4. If your save corrupts, reformat the USB drive on the 360, the SAME SIZE it was assigned before
5. Copy your Data0001 and Data0002 files back to [Drive Letter]:\Xbox360
Everything will work flawlessly when you plug the drive back into your system. This may not save corrupted saves all the time, but at least you have a chance to back EVERYTHING up before something definitely does happen. You don't even cheat the system by doing this -- Everything works legitimately.
Yes, because everyone has a PC that can run the game, right? We're all made of money.
I'm getting the PC version, too, but your comment of "Don't care" doesn't help anything.
I do feel bad for people who lose their save games though...that's a lot of work down the drain and is a bad feeling, I know.
