If I’m playing as Batgirl, Nightwing, Harley Quinn, or Red Hood, though – the four playable characters in the DLC – then it’s pretty safe to say that’s a screenshot from this re-release. As such, most screenshots you see here are going to be from the original launch. Rather than go through the entire story mode again, I spent today playing through the Season Pass content and had a little tool around in Gotham on the whole. I actually finished Batman: Arkham Knight all those months ago, pretty much the day it was pulled from sale. None of them had any noticeable impact on performance.)Ī screenshot? Without motion blur? I’m… I’m so happy… Chromatic Aberration and Motion Blur tend to irritate me more than anything, particularly when trying to take screenshots, and I’m not a big fan of Film Grain either. (It’s also worth noting that I turned off a few of those options for personal reasons. Doesn’t look as nice as it used to, but it runs at a higher framerate, and that’s a trade-off I’m prepared to make because it looks rather lovely anyway. On my mid-range machine – i7-3820, 16GB RAM, 2GB GeForce GTX 670 – those settings were giving me roughly 45-50FPS, barring a tiny bit of stuttering right at the start as the game loaded all of the assets. But maintaining a constant framerate above that is a bit trickier. Yes, the various details have been lowered, but that’s because I’m now trying to run it at 60FPS rather than 30FPS. Nonetheless, this actually isn’t as bad as it looks. Bonus points for that.Īs a before/after, here’s a screenshot showing my settings at launch, and what I was running on at relaunch: It now happily supports 60FPS (and, indeed, 90FPS) and the options menu has a handy little GTA5-esque VRAM calculator, showing whether or not you’re going to suffer horrific framerate drops. To their credit, the version that’s now on sale is a lot more “PC” than the one we saw all those months back. Warner have re-released Batman: Arkham Knight on PC, believing that it’s now in the fit state that it should’ve been in at its aborted launch back in June.
