Batman Arkham Knight PC Patch Due Out in a Few Weeks
It’s time for some good news/bad news Batman Arkham Knight PC fans. The good news is that the first patch that will (hopefully) fix most of the gameplay issues riddled in the game is coming. However, the bad news is that it is still a few weeks away. This will only be the “first patch”, indicating that there will be more coming, though it’s not clear as to when. On the Batman Arkham Knight PC Steam Page, an update was given about the patch.
“The teams have been working hard to address the issues with the PC version of the game,” it reads. “We are happy to confirm that we are now putting the first interim patch into testing. If all goes well, we expect to issue the patch in the next few weeks. We’ll be sure to report back in the next two weeks on how the testing is coming along.”
It’s important to note that though this is the “first patch”, it appears that it’ll cover a wide array of bugs that gamers have noted. Here’s what they claim will be fixed with this patch:
• Reduced frame rate hitches
• Optimized system memory and VRAM usage
• Improved performance on all GPUs (requires the latest drivers)
• Min Spec AMD GPU is once again the Radeon HD 7870 2GB
• More Robust In-Game Settings, including:
• Added the ability to change settings for Max FPS to 30/60/90
• Added toggles for Motion Blur, Chromatic Aberration, and Film Grain
• Added a “High” Texture Resolution value
• Added Texture Filtering option
• Added an Adaptive V-Sync option (NVIDIA only)
• Added VRAM Usage Meter
• Added Mouse Sensitivity Slider & Mouse Smoothing Option
• Fixed low resolution texture bugs
• Fixed hitches when running on mechanical hard drives (HDD)
We’ll let you know when the exact date for the patch release is scheduled. Batman Arkham Knight is currently available for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
