Batman: Arkham Knight gets its first patch on Windows PC, but there’s more to be done

Rocksteady today confirmed that Batman: Arkham Knight has received its first patch on Windows PC, but following a hold on sales of that version of the title, the developer admitted there’s still more work to be done.

“Rocksteady is leading our team of developers and partners as we work on the PC performance issues that players have been encountering,” the developer said on the game’s official website. “The work is significant and while we are making good progress on improving performance, it will take some time to ensure that we get the right fixes in place.”

The first patch addresses the following:

  • Fixed a crash that was happening for some users when exiting the game
  • Fixed a bug which disabled rain effects and ambient occlusion. We are actively looking into fixing other bugs to improve this further
  • Corrected an issue that was causing Steam to re-download the game when verifying the integrity of the game cache through the Steam client
  • Fixed a bug that caused the game to crash when turning off Motion Blur in BmSystemSettings.ini. A future patch will enable this in the graphics settings menu

Moreover, Rockstready said the following issues will be given priority in future updates:

  • Support for frame rates above 30FPS in the graphics settings menu
  • Fix for low resolution texture bug
  • Improve overall performance and framerate hitches
  • Add more options to the graphics settings menu
  • Improvements to hard drive streaming and hitches
  • Address full screen rendering bug on gaming laptop
  • Improvements to system memory and VRAM usage
  • NVIDIA SLI bug fixes
  • Enabling AMD Crossfire
  • NVIDIA and AMD updated drivers
