First Big Fix for Batman Arkham Knight Problems Arrives

There’s some relief in sight for those running still running intoBatman Arkham Knight problems. Less than a week after theBatman Arkham Knight release and days after the Windows PC version of the game was pulled from online stores, video game developer Rocksteady Studios is delivering the first of what should be multiple Batman Arkham Knight fixes and sharing details about what’s coming next.

Rocksteady detailed the fixes coming to address Batman Arkham Knight problems in a post on the game’s combinedcommunity forum. Though the forum offers advice and tips on every version of the game, the problems and their fixes are specific to Batman Arkham Knight for Windows PCs. Again, it’s that PC version that ran into performance issues hours after launching on gaming download service Steam and arriving on store shelves.

The Batman Arkham Knight patch from this past weekend fixes a crashing bug that only occurs when gamers try exiting the title. Also fixed is a bug that stopped weather and rain effects from happening in the game. Rocksteady says it’s working to “improve” on weather systems in other patches. At launch there was an issue that would force the Steam client into downloading the game’s essential files over again. That’s been corrected in this first Batman Arkham Knight patch. This first update also addresses an issue with the game completely crashing after users turned off its Motion Blur effects.

For the future, Rocksteady plans to support higher-frame rates directly through the settings menu, address some texture issues causing the game to look less than stellar, improve the graphics menu, fix full-screen rendering issues and improve on the way Batman Arkham Knight handles the system resources it has available to it. Fixes for NVIDIA SLI bugs and problems with AMD and NVIDIA drivers are on the way too. Rocksteady isn’t providing a specific time-table for the updates that’ll fix each of these Batman Arkham Knight problems.
