Batman: Arkham Knight was re-released on Steam this week, after a four month hiatus in which Warner Bros. Interactive had to pull developer Rocksteady’s game due to gamebreaking bugginess. However, players are finding that the game is still broken for them.
Rocksteady has posted in the Steam community forum they are addressing issues with the game:
We are still working with our GPU partners to add full support for SLI and Crossfire. In addition, we are working with these partners to address stability issues on certain cards related to the latest drivers.
After extensive testing, a hard drive paging issue with some GPUs on Windows 7 may occur after extended gameplay sessions. If you encounter this, simply re-launching the game will resolve the issue.
For Windows 10 users, we’ve found that having at least 12GB of system RAM on a PC allows the game to operate without paging and provides a smoother gameplay experience.
In one Reddit forum thread, one user complained about ”stuttering, hitching, freezing, dropped frames and general inconsistency” and other gamers have complained that the “grapple crash” (in which the game crashes when trying to use the grappling hook) has still not been fixed.
Our review of Batman: Arkham Knight fared better with gameplay, resolution and framerate; as noted above, different OS and hardware are having issues with the game rather than being a uniform issue.
