Q: Will a save file fix get me banned on Steam? A: No. Arkham Knight has no anti-cheat. Valve does not care about Riddler trophies.
Q: I set the counter to 243, but Riddler won’t spawn. A: You also need to trigger the “Final Exam” mission flag. Use the save editor to set Riddler_Mission_Status to 5. If you cannot find that, travel to the orphanage on Founder’s Island; Riddler’s broadcast usually forces a refresh. Note: This may disable achievements if not done carefully
Q: I’m on PS5. Can I use a USB stick to edit the save? A: Possibly, with advanced tools (Save Wizard for PS4). But you must decrypt the save first. Most users find it easier to replay 50 trophies than to pay for Save Wizard.
Q: What about the “DLC Trophies” (1960s Batmobile, etc.)?
A: DLC trophies are separate. The main game fix does not affect Season of Infamy. Make sure you are editing the main SaveFile.sav, not the DLC progression file.
