BATMAN: ARKHAM KNIGHT SUFFERING MAJOR ISSUES ON PC

FROM IGN

Update: Rocksteady has issued a statement regarding the issues, saying it's working to get them resolved while highlighting it was another studio that did the PC port of the game.

"We're aware that some users are reporting performance issues with the PC version of Batman: Arkham Knight," it reads. "This is something that Rocksteady takes 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."

Original story follows.

Original story: Numerous reports are surfacing of Batman: Arkham Knight's PC port suffering performance problems.

We've experienced the issues ourselves, which include frequent stuttering and audio glitches while moving around the open-world. As a result, Steam user reviews (which can only be given by people who've purchased the game) are flooded with complaints, as are the NeoGAF boards.

Additionally, many gamers have been bemused to find a 30 frames-per-second cap in place. Thankfully, a work around has been discovered. All you need to do is open your Arkham Knight install directory, and navigate to, "\BmGame\Config\BmSystemSettings.ini”. In the config file, search for "Max_FPS=30", and change it to "Max_FPS=9999".

We've reached out to Warner Bros. for information on whether we should expect a patch in the near future and will update the story when we hear back.
