Following a
false
start, an "interim patch" is now available for the Windows edition of
Batman: Arkham
Knight, which was so broken upon release, sales of the superhero sequel
were suspended until
things could be sorted out. As the interim tag suggests, there may still be
issues, but this should address a variety of problems. This
Steam Community Group Announcement from WBIE has the details:
Good
news - testing for the interim patch has been completed and it is now available
for those who already have Batman: Arkham Knight for PC. As a reminder, below
are some of the major fixes and improvements that will be addressed with this
patch:
Reduced frame rate hitches
Optimizations for system memory and VRAM usage
Improved performance on all GPUs (requires the latest drivers)
More Comprehensive In-Game Settings
Fixed low resolution texture bugs
Fixed hitches when running on mechanical hard drives (HDD)
In addition to the above, we’re continuing to work on the following for future
updates:
Adding support for SLI and Crossfire
Adding support for the latest DLC & Season Pass content
Adding support for additional updates such as Photo Mode
Continued improvements and bug fixing for a Windows 7 specific memory issue that
occurs on configurations with 8GB of system RAM and some NVIDIA GPUs during
extended game play
Continued improvements for Windows 10 specific issues on systems with some AMD
GPUs
As always, we will monitor for any additional issues that come up and will
provide further optimizations and bug fixes along the way.
We would like to thank everyone for their patience and invaluable feedback.
We’ll provide ongoing updates here as they are made available. In the meantime,
please enjoy the game with the latest patch.
