Some three months after it was released, PC owners of Batman: Arkham Knight might actually be able to play the game properly for the first time. The long-awaited performance patch has finally been released.
It rolled out in Beta from yesterday, but was quickly cancelled out with another patch. Some worried that this might mean another delay, but evidently not.
It’s hard to tell the actual, overall impact of the patch just yet. Many Steam users are reporting much improved frame rates and performance, while others aren’t quite so satisfied. To put it politely. Warner Bros promises to ”provide further optimizations and bug fixes along the way,” so expect further updates to arrive over the next few months.
In the meantime, here’s the listed improvements in the interim patch:
[br]
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 [/br]
