Warner Bros. has begun to offer refunds for the PC version of Batman: Arkham Knight as Digital Foundry’s analysis of the patched title isn’t very good.
“The level of optimization has not moved on much at all from last month’s interim patch,” Digital Foundry reported recently. “That’s not to say that there aren’t any improvements at all [as] paging too and from memory does seem to have got better.
“However, this barely makes a dent on general in-game performance. In terms of hitting 1080p at 60fps, again, there’s improvement compared to the launch code, but even now, pairing an overclocked Core i7 4790K with either an R9 290X or a GTX 970 isn’t enough to stop occasional glitching – even with the Nvidia GameWorks effects turned off. Even moving up to a GTX 980 still sees noticeable stutter beneath 60fps.
“It’s not game-breaking, but it’s certainly annoying and intrusive. The problem is that below this formidable threshold, we still face exactly the same problems that limited our choices way back in June.”
Warner Bros. has advised via Steam that it will refund customers who are unhappy.
“For those of you that hold onto the game, we are going to continue to address the issues that we can fix and talk to you about the issues that we cannot fix,” the post also reads.
