Recent Glitches Arkham Origins
Some of these PC game glitches may have already been catalogued and patched. Just in case, here's my recent list. I'll be updating this periodically. Hope this helps. Feel free to add to this, but only unpatched glitches. Post as descriptively as possible, giving nature and location of glitch and your workaround or solution, if any.

This is a glitch report page, not a rant page.

===

Enigma Data Handlers: Not all informants spawning reliably, requiring some datapacks to be found without assistance.
Current solution: restart from checkpoint, visit BatCave and return to suspect's location, or ignore and continue game.

Interrogation Failures: Some Data Handlers, Informants and Case File Perps surrender but occasionally cannot be interrogated.
Current solution: restart from checkpoint.

Grapple Points: Diamond District grapple points on some buildings register slightly above structures.
Current solution: ignore and continue game.

Unengaged enemies: Enemies remain startled and stationary, cannot engage battle. Some sink into ground, particularly in the Bowery sublevel.
Current solution: ignore and continue game.

Fast Travel Cinematics: Audio occasionallly missing during cinematic.
Current solution: ignore and continue game.

Disruptor Acquisition: (I Am The Night Mode) During the GCPD mission after acquiring the Disruptor, Batman QTE remains stuck inspecting the device.
Current solution: restart from checkpoint.
After restarting from checkpoint, map indicates device still remains uncollected, even though it is in player's inventory (persistent mission marker).
Current solution: ignore and continue game.

Multiple Combo Batarang Takedowns not consistently neutralizing fallen enemies on the ground. Will monitor in future games for repetitive locations.
Confirmed: Repetitive
Current solution: ignore and continue game.

Screen Compass Error: NSEW map points stripe occasionally occupies entire top of screen, rather than small centered display.
Observation: Compass error will go away.
Current solution: restart from checkpoint, or ignore and continue game.
New Current Solution: click on map or menu and continue game.

Shiva's First Test, Diamond District Shopping Complex Exterior, Free-Roam Texture Glitch: Ground/Floor errors outside of encounter building, Batman falls into water below ground if gliding to land at action location, Diamond District Shopping Complex.
Current solution: land on ground in another spot and jog to action location.
[Edit] Patched.

Bane Tracking Mission, Park Row Sewers Access, Exploding Weak Wall Event: An enemy shield directly in front of weak wall will prevent Batman from deploying Exploding Gel onto wall, deposits on floor instead.
Current solution: reset from checkpoint.

Bane Park Row Door Jammer: Detective Vision Jammer not consistently activated until after Bane sewer access mission completion.
Confirmed: Glitch is repetitive.
Current solution: Neutralize with Disruptor or, since Bane sewer mission is completed anyway, simply ignore and continue game.

Current solution: Dislodge enemies with Batarang and continue game.

Sionis Steel Mill Courtyard: Enemies displaying difficulties negotiating staircases, appear to run in place until neutralized.
Current solution: Dislodge enemies with Batarang and continue game.

Gotham Royal Hotel Panorama Deck: Exterior Bane Battle: Cape Stuns and Strikes biased toward Bane. Attacks directed at henchmen unexpectedly strike Bane instead, mostly resulting in Batman injury if unprepared.
Observation 1: Technically might not be a glitch, just a plot-device.
Observation 2: I despise the needlessly frenetic Bane fights.
Confirmed: Repetitive.
Current solution: Curse obscenely and continue game.
[Edit: Scripted, not a glitch]

Blackgate Prison Sewer Access: Repetitive Instruction Dialogue Glitch in Sewer Locks if Batman completes lock level raising before failed attempt. Batman will repeat instruction dialogue until checkpointing at next room.
Confirmed: Repetitive dialogue glitch.
Current solution 1: ignore and continue game.
Current solution 2: drop Glue Grenade into low sewer lock, wait for failure, then raise lock level with Charged Remote Batarang.

Deadshot Finale, Gotham Merchants Bank: Using Detective Vision, Mine-Laying Henchmen occasionally appear as normal thugs; not apparent they are mine-capable until after weapon deployment.
Confirmed: Repetitive glitch.
Current solution: Restart from checkpoint, or ignore and continue game.

Crimes In Progress and Case File Events, Park Row District and Crime Alley: Apprehended Mauling Suspect in Park Row. New Crime in Progress (CIP) spawned in exact same area only seconds later. All henchmen from CIP suddenly disappear mid-fight when Crime Alley Case File Event (CFE) opens a few seconds after CIP spawn, even though CFE spawns a significant distance away.
Current solution: ignore and continue game.
[Edit] New Current Solution: Highlighting the CaseFile objective marker on map before completing mission may nullify or delay spawning Crime in Progress.

GCPD SWAT and Burnley Hit and Run Case File Event, Burnley District: When Burnley Hit and Run case spawns in front of the GCPD, armed SWAT officers in the vicinity remain present instead of disappearing, capable of injuring and shooting Batman during the investigation.
http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=198760760
Current Solution: log for repetition, neutralize enemies, ignore and continue game.
[Edit] New Current Solution: Highlighting the Case File objective marker on map before starting mission may nullify or delay spawning SWAT officers.
[Edit] New Current Solution: After inspecting the corpse in the GCPD, exit through sewers and arrive at Burnley street level instead of GCPD rooftop level.

Case File Completion Save Errors: Closed Case Files infrequently reopen, requiring re-concluding those Case Files in order to properly close them.
Confirmed: Repetitive.
Not limited to any one single case. Personally recorded 11.13.2013 for Coventry Fire Case File and 11.16.2013 for Burnley Hit and Run Case File. Multiple Case File save errors logged on Steam Forum.
Current Solution: conclude Case Files, log for repetition and continue game.
[Edit] Observation: returning to Batcave immediately after closing a Case File will sometimes invalidate that Case File's conclusion.

Missing AR Training Bat-Icons, AR Advanced Glide Drills 2, Lacey Towers, Coventry: AR Glide Drill 2 Red Bat-Icon missing from Lacey Towers gargoyle in Free-Roam. Test still activates upon gargoyle perching, and red icon will appear on test retakes if failed.

Confirmed: Repetitive.
Current Solution: ignore and continue game.

Current Solution: ignore and continue game.

Enigma Data Handler 12, Gotham Pioneers Bridge: Impossible to interrogate after first takedown, requires restart to complete.
Confirmed: Repetitive.
Current Solution: restart from checkpoint or visit BatCave and return, interrogate suspect and continue game.

Menu Math Error, Main Menu/Extras/Concept Art: Concept Art requires 120 to complete but only provides 81 spaces, making 100% concept art progress impossible and unable to 100% game.

See screenshot:

Infinite Blackscreen Freefall, My Alibi, Bird Mission, Coventry: even after the patches, the blackscreen freefall returns to plague the Bird/My Alibi mission. Player freefalls collecting trophies, particularly crossing last room. Restarting from checkpoint only prolongs freefall.
Current Solution: unable to restore previous save, quit and delete corrupt save and start new game.

[Edit] New Current Solution: Disable DX11 to prevent texture freefalls. Also useful for preventing or repairing Copperhead elevator crash. Procedure as follows:

Don't forget this
http://community.wbgames.com/t5/Support-for-PC/BUG-Enigma-Data-Pack-still-showing-on-map-after-collection/td-p/9735

I know I collected all but it still says 98% and has datapack location on map
JonoAMano 29 Nov, 2013 @ 12:22am 
Repetitive Lags and Freezes, Final Offer Boiler Deck Post-Electrocutioner, GCPD Holding Cells Part 2, Blackgate Panopticon: Recurrent lags and freezes in these locations makes maintaining combos difficult; in these same locations, Batman repeatedly breaks into freeze/lag related running instead of an evade or a redirect, contributing to making combos troublesome.
Confirmed: Repetitive.
Current Solution: log for repetition and restart from checkpoint, or ignore and continue game.
[Edit] New Current Solution: disable DX11 and / or PhysX, restart checkpoint and continue game.

Achievement Description Error, Worst Nightmare Rank 05: Old School - Complete a Predator Room without using Detective Vision. WN Rank 05 is achievable in either Free-Roam or a Predator Room. The challenge description is misleading.

Achievement Description Error, Deathstroke - Breaking In Extreme: In the Deathstroke Breaking In Extreme Challenge Map, the Smash Landing requires "Smash Through a Weak Ceiling Onto An Enemy To Take Him Down," when in practice any glass window or partition, upright or horizontal, will suffice.

Enigma Subtitle Caption Error: When Batman forcefully opens a door to enable the Bowery GCR Tower, Enigma tells Batman "You know, if you'd asked nicely, I'd of opened it for you." The subtitle should read "I'd have opened it for you" or "I would've opened it for you," or the irregular double contraction "I'd've opened it for you." Enigma states earlier in the story that his intent is to improve the moral and intellectual standing in Gotham, so technically he would not have made this sort of grammatical error. Hopefully this will be corrected in the Game of the Year Edition.
