Batman Arkham Knight RPC Launcher

This project is a custom launcher for Batman: Arkham Knight that integrates with Discord Rich Presence (RPC).

Features

• Launches Batman: Arkham Knight with Discord Rich Presence
• Silent background launching
• Customizable game path
• All in one .exe file

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v14 or higher recommended)
• npm (comes with Node.js)
• Electron
• discord-rpc (npm package)

Setup & Build

1. Clone or download this repository.
2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

3. Build:

   npm run dist

Configuration

1. Set Your Game Path

By default, the launcher uses a hardcoded path to Batman: Arkham Knight. To use your own game installation:

• Open launch-batman.bat in a text editor.
• Change the path to point to your own BatmanAK.exe location. Example:

  "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam\\steamapps\\common\\Batman Arkham Knight\\Binaries\\Win64\\BatmanAK.exe"

2. Discord Client ID

This launcher uses a Discord Client ID for Rich Presence. You can use the provided client ID in the code:

• Client ID: 1395414403599302770

If you want to use your own, register an application at the Discord Developer Portal and replace the client ID in batman-rpc.js.

Usage

• Run launch-batman-silent.vbs to silently launch the game with Discord RPC.
• Or, install the setup exe from the dist directory

Files

• batman-rpc.js – Handles Discord Rich Presence
• main.js – Main launcher logic
• launch-batman.bat – Batch file to launch the game
• launch-batman-silent.vbs – Silently runs the batch file
• splash.html – Optional splash screen

Notes

• Make sure your game path is correct, or the launcher will not work.
• You can use the provided Discord Client ID, or set your own.
