After almost a whole month, Warner Bros issued a new statement about the status of Batman: Arkham Knight’s PC version. According to the publisher, the first interim patch will be in the next few weeks. That is of course if everything goes as planned. Not only that, but the publisher has also revealed the details of this highly anticipated patch.
Here are the key features of Batman: Arkham Knight’s first interim patch:
- 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)
Now this sounds wonderful, right?
Moreover, the development team is continuing to work on skipping the boot up splash screens, DLC/Season Pass content, as well as additional updates such as Photo Mode.

This is what we waited for from day 1 as should normally happen in 2015 for PC games.
i blame consoles because they push developers to rush crappy ports on PC.
You can’t blame consoles. You have to blame Publishers and Developers not putting effort into the PC version. You blame Publishers for not allowing Developers to do a good job in the 1st place since it’s all so clear that this game was on the back burner when it comes to PC.
WB had Rocksteady Focus so much on PS4/Xbox1 and little to no effort on PC. Sure it’s easy to blame consoles. But it all comes down to the priority of companies and what they care about. Clearly PC was not cared about.
Yeah and clearly a ton of people didnt buy the game. Im so happy that people aint total blind sheeps. I actually thought people would eat this game up, even with all its problems.
I still wonder if i should even bother or not. Clearly they dont care about me, and i can live without one less game. Its only a game, and it aint even all that amazing from what ive seen.
Sadly, with the game bundled in with graphics cards some people ended up with a sub-par product even if they didn’t go out and purchase it. I guess you could say it was free, but even a freebie (if it is been advertised as part of a deal) should work properly.
In gpu case, some people may feel ripped off.
Lets take amazon’s example. If nvidia has a game deal, like 3 days after you get your gpu they send you a refund. I’m sure if you chat with tech support to the right employee he may throw some store credit your way. I had got unity with my purchase, but I knew the streaming pile of crap it was, so I simply explained my case and got a 50$ discount.
Some are. About 40% of the people which IMO is very huge. Right now 44% of the reviews are positive, the all time low was 29% for like 30mins or so. On their new update post, every page of 10 posts has 6-4 go f’k yourself posts. My guess is people just decided to look past the optimization issues, saw the game beneath, thumbs up’d it.
Now, you should see their forums. Their fanbase believes we do not deserve any kind of compensation and should be glad that they are fixing the game. There are all sorts of ….. ergh I don’t even know how to describe it.
idiots?
Idiot is an understatement.
Good thing we have Steam refunds, I have to give credit to GreenManGaming as well because I just refunded my copy a week or two ago and they completed refund within two days without asking any question.
All the blame is to the developers.
Indeed they push bad ports out of the door but it ia not directly because of consoles (indirectly yes). So you may point your accusations to devs/in thia case i’d say publisher wanted to cut costs.
I’d say there’s financially a reason why they attach most importance to cosine console development, because of the fact they will make biggest profits there, and indirectly this affects PC development in some cases, because it’s of lesser financial importance to them. Sad , but true
Wow it’s about F’ing time we get something from WB. I been watching the app activity on steam and seeing all those files and such. So weeks as in still Aug or will it be pushed too september?
I mean really? How bad was the POS port?
No free DLC for PC?
No you get get free DLC for playing a Alpha version.
What was this game if it were not the Alpha version?
Even ubisoft gave PC gamers a “gift” after they purchased Unity.
WB should follow suit
Well that’s because Unity sucked on consoles as well. And Unity DLC was given to consoles users also. But when it comes to WB we are PC users so F’k us right? Yep.
Batman also had some problems on consoles too but not so much to make itu nplayble. Unity was unplayble on both pc and console at release date. Imaine what will happen if they do the same to Syndicate?! That will be the end of ubisoft!!!
The end of Ubisoft? Na they will just make a letter on the net like they always do each year like we forgot about the last one.

of course not. wb doesnt care about you.
This is the publisher that prioritised DLC over fixing their previous release, So… draw your own conclusions 😛
Should I hold my breath?
I still have keys of Batman AK and Witcher 3(GOG)…never care to activate both!
Witcher 3 tough i bought it again on STEAM to play it dayONE!
STEAM FTW!
You can share batman with me!
haha…
gibe key
nope!
o rly?
i want to sell Witcher 3 or change it for Rocket League!
(gog)
Im exchanging both keys for 1 key of MGS V!
Now when are they gonna fix it so its actually a good game? Story must have been written by a 12 year old mentally retarded joker fan, no offense my aunt is retarded.
This was the lead developer on Batman AK I believe.
Hey man, there’s still tickets left for that place in hell?
Pretty sure I’m going too.
If I believed in all that, I’d still go as they would have the best tunes!
HAHA now we’re talking! 😀
You surely believe in nothing, its pretty clear.
“I believe I can fly whoo, I believe I can touch the sky, think about every night and day, spread my wings and fly away…”
“next few weeks”
they said that few months ago and even all of the issues were listed back then. also they said that intern patch will be release in august. few weeks from now is september. in short, F**k warner and all of their shills and developers and people who worked for them.
Before the release of Batman: Arkham Knight:
DC > Marvel
After the release of Batman: Arkham Knight:
Both can go to hell.
Indeed, DC’s darker vibe makes it more interesting than marvel’s fluffy pink universe. That’s my opinion plz don’t stye dem feels 🙂
I completed the game when it first came out, Bugs and all, just to see the story before spoilers appeared everywhere. But my intention is to replay on new game plus once the fixed version is released.
Same here. I will complete New Game Plus and Riddler Trophies after the patch.
Wow someone still remembers this retarded game, they can keep their patches
they either have to give something away for free as an apology, or can go f’ themselves. i am not gonna pay for this crap even on sales and from what i heard…i am not gonna miss much. you can already see the metacritic score lowering down, meaning it was all hype at the start.
free season pass for standard owners and free game (MadMax) for premium owners. it’s the least they can do, even then they are still worst than ubisoft cuz they did it in less than a week.
In ubisoft’s case, the game was sh*t on consoles too. Fast forward today, its still sh*t on consoles, whereas sufficiently high-end pcs can run the game in all its glory of 60fps.
Infact, unity nailed the “npc count” if not “npc function”. The successor syndicate is actually a ghost town, with even more crap like “invisibility”, not even a rip-off disguise mode. I hope this time ubisoft atleast considers an npc slider like GTA.
Actually why do I even care? I feel ashamed to say that I liked unity these days.
Adaptive V-Sync is Free Standard from VESA and is avaible in DP1.2? and HDMI 1.4?-2.0 So it will work NP on Radeon GPU’s. Also Radeon Users can (and must 😉 run it with RadeonPRO + Adaptive Sync from RP. Always set -1FPS 60Hz=59 in RP
The correct name for this is probably triple buffered v-sync, since the game currently uses doubled buffered v-sync, in 2015, heh.
pls don’t fail like CD projekt RED
They’ve always been worse, CDPR just felt from so high that it seems worse.
yea but CDPR have more fanboys even the game its optimized like Batman or worse on Kepler GPU’s its ok with “them” fanboys and CDPR consoles devs
You spelled Ubisoft wrong.
CD projekt RED is the new Ubisoft
Joke of the day.
All this time and we still have don’t have a date. Goddamn!
this patch better be good after all this time, i’d have loved to see game journos getting inside on this process.
But this game is already dead? MGSV is the new thing.
#PCMasterRace… oh wait.
Here have an upvote. So sick of this master race propoganda where they get all recycled trash.
Here have a downvote, so sick of 1080P 60FPS propaganda when they get all downgraded 900p 30FPS cinematic games.
Even downgraded is too much for them, some are just remakes of like decade old games because their next gen trash can’t handle true graphics.
Our games are great, unlike your AAA trash and some are coming to your platform, so be thankful you’re getting some of these great games from the PC platform.
