With the release of Batman: Arkham Knight, fans were ecstatic to play the conclusion to Rocksteady's Batman series of video games. However, the game has had a rocky release, as the PC version is riddled with gameplay bugs, performance bugs and a sinful 30 FPS lock; only changeable by editing an INI file. Steam's Refund system must be hard at work, the game has been reviewed over 4,500 times by Steam users, with a generally negative reception.
Performance wise, the game stutters, has random FPS drops and sometimes when attempting to verify the game cache, the game ends up being deleted from the system. Fans that were excited to use the Batmobile will most likely find it unplayable, as sequences that utilize the Batmobile (of which there are many), cause the FPS to tank to an all time low. But really, a game deleting itself can't possibly get any worse.
The game is experiencing performance issues with both Nvidia and AMD cards, though the latter is having the worst problems.
Rocksteady has responded with:
"Hi all,
We're aware that some users are reporting performance issues with the PC version of Batman: Arkham Knight. This is something that Rocksteady take very seriously. We are working closely with our external PC development partner to make sure these issues get resolved as quickly as possible.
We'll update this thread when we've got more info to share.
Thanks,
CODA"
Feels like a very generic response from such a highly praised company, would be nice if we got a more "human" response rather than some generic jargon about how they know about the problem. However, this response has not stopped PC gamers from speaking their opinions.
Console versions are not having any issues currently; at least someone is enjoying their newly purchased game. We can only hope that Rocksteady stands by their word, and fixes the game quickly.
