We are actively looking into fixing other bugs to improve this further.<\/li>\n<li>Corrected an issue that was causing Steam to re-download the game when verifying the integrity of the game cache through the Steam client.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed a bug that caused the game to crash when turning off Motion Blur in BmSystemSettings.ini. A future patch will enable this in the graphics settings menu.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It\u2019s far from impressive.<\/p>\n<p>And now, thanks to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kotaku.com.au\/2015\/07\/batman-arkham-knight-wont-be-fixed-on-pc-until-spring-claims-leaked-email\/\" target=\"_blank\">Kotaku Australia<\/a> and a leaked internal email, we know that <em>Batman: Arkham knight<\/em> won\u2019t likely be fixed until Spring.<\/p>\n<p>The good news for you folks out there is that they\u2019re referring to Spring on this side of the world, the Southern Hemisphere, which is around 2 months away.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs previously advised,\u201d reads the email, \u201cwe have stopped sales of Batman: Arkham Knight PC while Warner and Rocksteady work on addressing performance issues with the game.\u201d That\u2019s great news, indeed.<\/p>\n<p>The next part, however, is a little concerning: \u201cThe latest information from Warner is that the updates won\u2019t be available until Spring. Due to this we have made the difficult decision to recall all PC stock from stores to return to the vendor until an acceptable solution is released.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Why should it take so long? Why are they delaying the first patch?<\/p>\n<p>For the moment, we\u2019ll give Rocksteady and Warner Bros. the benefit of the doubt. We\u2019ll assume they want to make sure the fixes are done right.<\/p>\n<p>Should we find out that they\u2019re taking their sweet time to fix the game because they\u2019re working on DLC, then all hell should break loose.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><strong>In other PC news<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/pc\/78548-games-that-are-and-arent-compatible-with-windows-10-thus-far.html\">Games that are and aren\u2019t compatible with Windows 10 thus far<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/78512-gears-of-war-ultimate-edition-for-pc-is-more-than-just-a-port.html\">Gears of War: Ultimate Edition for PC is more than just a port<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/hardware\/78456-intels-core-i7-6700k-skylake-up-to-29-faster-than-the-i7-4790k-devils-canyon.html\">Intel\u2019s Core i7-6700k \u2018Skylake\u2019 up to 29% faster than the i7-4790k \u2018Devil\u2019s Canyon\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As long as when we get it, it works as it should.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":221,"featured_media":78614,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[12065,1969,15397,1580,4943],"class_list":["post-78612","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pc","tag-batman-arkham-knight","tag-news-2","tag-pc","tag-rocksteady","tag-warner-bros-interactive-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78612","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/221"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=78612"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78612\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/78614"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=78612"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=78612"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=78612"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
