Brace yourself, Batman is coming (again)
The developers at Rocksteady Studios are still working frantically to fix lingering issues in the PC version of Batman: Arkham Knight, but by the end of the month, publisher Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment expects that sales will resume, the company announced on Steam.
Batman has seen better days, at least on the PC. Just two days after launching in June, WB halted sales of the PC version on Steam and pulled copies from store shelves due to some serious performance issues.
"“We take these issues very seriously and have therefore decided to suspend future game sales of the PC version while we work to address these issues to satisfy our quality standards. We greatly value our customers and know that while there are a significant amount of players who are enjoying the game on PC, we want to do whatever we can to make the experience better for PC players overall," WB said at the time.
It took until early September for WB to release an interim patch to existing owners. The response to the patch was mostly positive -- it fixed a number of issues, including low resolution texture bugs and hitches when running the game on mechanical hard drives, and improved performance on all GPUs.
Nevertheless, there were still some bugs that needed stomped out, and it appears the developers have made significant headway since then.
"While there were significant performance improvements made to the game, the teams are continuing to work on the additional updates that were outlined in our previous post. We expect these updates to be ready at the end of October, at which time the PC version will be made available for purchase," WB said.
When it re-released to PC, it will also include support for all DLC that has been released to consoles so far.
