Warner Bros Interactive have finally shared a much needed update for the PC version of Batman Arkham Knight.
The first patch is now undergoing testing, and if things turn out well, they should be able to deploy it within a few weeks’ time. Warner pledges to update the public on its progress within two weeks’ time, one way or the other.
They promise to fix these issues:
Reduced frame rate hitches
Optimized system memory and VRAM usage
Improved performance on all GPUs (requires the latest drivers)
o Min Spec AMD GPU is once again the Radeon HD 7870 2GB
More Robust In-Game Settings, including:
o Added the ability to change settings for Max FPS to 30/60/90
o Added toggles for Motion Blur, Chromatic Aberration, and Film Grain
o Added a “High” Texture Resolution value
o Added Texture Filtering option
o Added an Adaptive V-Sync option (NVIDIA only)
o Added VRAM Usage Meter
o Added Mouse Sensitivity Slider & Mouse Smoothing Option
Fixed low resolution texture bugs
Fixed hitches when running on mechanical hard drives (HDD)
These are priority, but if they can, the dev team working on the patch (which comprises not just Rocksteady devs, but some folks at Nvidia) will also add these features:
Skipping the boot up splash screens
DLC/Season Pass content
Additional updates such as Photo Mode
In comparison to Assassin’s Creed Unity, Rocksteady seems set to turnaround the situation for Batman Arkham Knight much sooner. Of course, this is partly due to Rocksteady only having to fix the PC version of the game.
