- Arkham Knight PC Patch Briefly Appears, And Early Reports Are Promising

Warner Bros. has been cagey about Batman: Arkham Knight’s long-promised PC patch, but a beta version accidentally went live for some folks today—and they’re reporting good news.
This is a pretty confusing saga, so bear with me. When players cried foul at the game’s technical incompetence on PC,
Warner Bros. stopped selling the game. They promised a major patch
would bring the game up to speed, and that’s been in the works for
months now. It was supposed to arrive by the end of August, but was recently delayed until sometime in September.
If you look
at the settings for each game on Steam, it’s possible to opt into a
game’s “beta.” Developers will use this to allow players to experience
incomplete (and buggy) versions ahead of release, but for more sensitive
betas, players have to be on a list to get the updates.
Apparently someone at Warner Bros. goofed up that part.
Earlier
today, Steam users noticed a large patch was deployed for the game,
which quietly introduced a slew of new graphics options and made the
game infinitely more playable for many. Not long after, however, another
patch was released, which effectively removed it, and caused some crash
issues for those who downloaded it. (Some have had success rebooting.)
However,
some users were able to hang onto the original patch, and started
putting the game through its paces, hoping Warner Bros. would deliver.
The verdict?
Yay!
The patch
isn’t complete, which is why it was removed, but this is A Very Good
Sign. Is it months late? Yep. Should the game have been like this when
it was first released? Yep.
