Batman: Arkham Knight, released in 2015, turned out to be terribly buggy. The problem lies not even in the manufacturer's flaws, but in poor adaptation for a PC. Even the owners of powerful computers have encountered minor bugs, serious freezes and crashes. How to improve the situation and enjoy the much anticipated masterpiece?

Patches

Almost all the shortcomings are corrected by the update to Batman: Arkham Knight. The optimization of the beginning is carried out by the company literally a few days after the release of the game. First of all, the patch became available for those who bought the new Batman on the Steam site. Despite the fact that the update was only 68 MB, it touched on almost all important issues.

In the first patch, crash-related bugs were fixed, textures were edited, friezes were stabilized, additional Batman: Arkham Knight settings were added, frame optimization was also carried out. In general, the update allowed us to play normally.

Further patches fixed minor bugs and adapted Arkham Knight for low-power PCs. However, it should be remembered that not all computers are capable of providing stable operation of the game.

Settings

What should I do if the optimization patch installed for Batman: Arkham Knight did not give the expected results? The player should not despair and start trying to customize the game. Most likely, the PC hardware is not able to provide the set parameters. The user needs to remove all unnecessary settings: fog, rain, debris, sun rays, and also reduce the resolution.

By reducing the parameters and turning off all unnecessary, the player will be able to achieve adequate work of Batman: Arkham Knight. Optimizing this method will allow the user to play at 30 FPS. This is sufficient for normal operation, but the image quality will not be the best. It should be remembered that the video card must have at least two GB, even for the minimum settings.

Low parameters will allow you to play, but will not relieve the player of freezes. During fights or quick actions, the user will notice "braking". Getting rid of this is difficult and, most likely, you have to put up with it. Medium PC owners will do a little better. Most of the settings can be set to "normal", but you should turn off fog, rain and other little things. Thus, the user will be able to achieve the similarity of the game to the console version.

Drivers and software

The creators also voiced recommendations for those wishing to play Batman: Arkham Knight. PC optimization is a must for a stable game. RockSteady was advised to check the drivers and install the latest available versions. The advice is quite logical and will really help you optimize your product.

Also required for Batman: Arkham Knight optimization and programs, or rather the disabling of some applications. The company advises against using Experience from NVIDIA, and there are also useful applications, however. For example, NVIDIA SLI will help.

In addition to recommendations for drivers and programs, there were additional tips. Users should not modify the ini files to avoid problems. This can lead to a breakdown in stability and performance.

Minor problems

The player should know how to fix the most common bugs in Batman: Arkham Knight. Optimizing minor issues will greatly improve overall performance. For example, in an ini file called UserSystemSetting, the user can set fps. To do this, you need to open the document with notepad, find the MaxFPS line and write the required amount.

The problem with a black border or screen is solved by adjusting the resolution. The player should set the same characteristics both in the game and on the desktop. Steam users can fix the problem by typing -windowed in the startup line. This will allow the game to run in windowed mode.

Many users faced crashes when planning a hero. The issue is solved by logging out and checking the cache using Steam. However, sometimes this action leads to another bug. Some files may be deleted from the player. In this case, repeat the operation.

An attempt to remove Depth of Field or Motion Blur in ini files can lead to new bugs. It's best not to risk it and only tune FPS in this way. Since the game is not well ported, changing the ini files leads to unexpected results.

System requirements

It is important for the user to know the minimum requirements for Batman: Arkham Knight before installing. Optimization for weak PCs is possible, but if the computer's specifications do not match the specified, most likely, nothing will work. The player must have a video card of at least 2 GB, 2.7 or 3.4 GHz performance, depending on the processor, and 6 GB of RAM. Arkham Knight runs on Windows 7 and DirectX 11. Installation requires 45 GB of free space.

If the characteristics do not match, optimization will also be useless. The maximum that the user can achieve if the game starts is poor graphics and constant freezes.

Outcome

Despite all the challenges, Arkham Knight is definitely worth the investment in optimization and customization. It is best to use an integrated approach and limit yourself not only to adjusting the image parameters, but also to installing drivers, programs and patches. Thus, even a weak PC can provide good performance and stable operation.
