This is kind of really great news as I hate the saving system for GfWL titles and it was honestly putting me off playing the excellent Batman games.

 

I recently completed BioShock 2 which I played right after BioShock Infinite. However, I had trouble getting GfWL working so I disabled the GfWL requirement and played it fully offline. I was disappointed that because of this, I wouldn't be able to try out the Minerva's Den expansion which I've heard is excellent - maybe I'll finally get the chance to do it now it's coming to Steamworks.

It's im the NeoGAF article at the top as the external link at the top of this article.

 

I believe it's still only speculation. A pity really, now with Steamworks it requires an internet connection to install and play the game...

      Batman: Arkham City GOTY - Steam DirectX11 Lighting Bug fix for page submission
      By darius1911
      There's a little reported bug with the GOTY version on steam that causes some DX11 point lights to not blend correctly and show their polygonal edges.
      Here's the steam thread with the fix:
      https://steamcommunity.com/app/200260/discussions/0/810939350937769623/?ctp=2
      And the fix itself in a google drive link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B60dyrffWO_PNU50N0h3bE9fZkk/view?usp=sharing
      Visually the issue is very noticeable when looking at Tyger helicopter searchlights and the first room in the museum with the TVs pointed at Batman, they look like giant polygonal shapes that brighten anything within or behind them from your POV.
      The fix replaces two shader files that were sourced from the original GFWL release, the steam version's ones are the culprit. If someone could archive these and add a link and description on the wiki page that would be great.
      Unrelated, but I was trying to post this on the arkham city discussion page but captcha kept on resetting after pressing add topic, sorry I just made the account to try to put it on there so if I did something wrong my mistake.

      WH40K: Dawn of War II GFWL downgrade
      By SojerManLan
      These files allow Dawn Of War II and its' standalone expansion, Chaos Rising to use GFWL instead of Steamworks.

      Note: This does not bypass or remove Steam's DRM in any way. You still need Steam to run the game in addition to GFWL.
