Common Issues & Fixes (ELA UPD 17 Specific) Even with “Update 17,” problems can arise. Here are the top three and their solutions. Issue 1: “Black Screen on Launch” Cause: The dxgi.dll from the update conflicts with MSI Afterburner or Discord overlay. Fix: Disable all overlays. Go to the game’s _CommonRedist folder, reinstall DirectX and VC++ Redist. Then, rename dxgi.dll to dxgi_old.dll . Issue 2: Batmobile Stuck in “Tank Mode” Permanently Cause: A known bug in ELA’s control remapping script. Fix: Delete Input.ini from the game’s Config folder. Restart the game. The default controls will regenerate, and the toggle key (default: T ) will work again. Issue 3: Save Game Corruption After Update 17 Cause: This update changes the save encryption from SteamID-based to local. Fix: Inside the game folder, locate SaveFix_ELA.exe . Run it, select your old save (usually in Documents\WB Games\Batman Arkham Knight\SaveData ), and click “Convert to UPD17 Format.” Your progress will transfer.
