The long-awaited patch is now finally here for the PC version of Batman: Arkham Knight
Time Warner Inc. (NASDAQ:TWX)-owned Warner Bros has finally released the much anticipated patch for Batman: Arkham Knight for Microsoft Corporation's (NASDAQ:MSFT) Windows PC. The patch brings a host of new improvements that are intended to make the game playable.
The patch notes detail improvements like “Reduced frame-rate hitches”, “Improved performance on all GPUs” and “Optimizations for system memory and VRAM usage”. You can read the full patch notes here. The patch appeared briefly for download yesterday but was quickly pulled down by the publisher. Those who were fast enough to download tested out the new patch and concluded that it brought much needed performance improvements and finally made the game playable. However, the patch is now online again and customers who own the game can download it. It is worth noting that Batman: Arkham Knight for PC is still not available for purchase, after it was pulled down by Warner Bros.
Batman: Arkham Knight released in June and was one of the most anticipated titles of 2015. Being the next installment in the highly successful Batman: Arkham series, it was destined to be a hit, as fans' demands for the game was high. However, when it launched, PC gamers who pre-ordered the game soon found themselves disappointed by the quality of the game on their platform. The game had inconsistent frame-rates, it was very taxing even on high-end systems, and some game effects were missing. This made the PC version downright unplayable and the Steam Store review section was soon flooded with down-votes and hate-filled texts. The situation was so bad that Warner Bros. Inc. were forced to withdraw the game from sale, which has since then been missing with no word on its re-release. Unlike the console versions, the developer – Rocksteady, outsourced the PC version of the game to a small studio called “Iron Galaxy”, which resulted in the poor quality of the game.
