Arkham City saves disappearing on Xbox 360, Warner Bros. working on it

Watch out! Some users on Batman: Arkham City's official forums are reporting the disappearance of game saves when playing it on an Xbox 360.

As tempting as it was to start this piece off with a, "Holy disappearing saves, Batman," I figured I'd only increase the rage felt by those encountering this glitch on the Xbox 360 version of Batman: Arkham City.

Some users on the game's official forums are reporting the disappearance of game saves when playing it on an Xbox 360. While Game Informer reported the glitch may have something to do with the Catwoman downloadable content, Warner Bros'. quality assurance team has been trying to replicate the issue to no avail; they're asking for customers who've had the bad luck of encountering this issue to contact them.

So consider this a warning if you're playing on an Xbox 360 (especially if you're far along into the game or you've collected a ton of Riddler trophies). If you are one of the unlucky few, here's what Warner Bros. wants from you:

An e-mail sent to support[AT]wbgames[DOT]com with the following information:

• What version of the XBOX 360 hardware are you are experiencing the “disappearing save files” issue on?

• Are you running a Beta version of the forthcoming XBOX 360 “Holiday 2011” system update?
