If you’ve been patiently waiting for an update for Gotham Knights, we have good news: an update has indeed arrived which includes a nice list of improvements and fixes for the superhero game. For the PC version, this patch should improve performance, stability, and graphical fidelity in a few key areas, and it also makes some nice tweaks to the user interface and input.
In addition to this, the patch includes fixes for various instances of open-world crashes, as well as crashes that occur when using fast travel points, returning to the main menu, and using the function accessibility by voice synthesis.
PC gamers should also see better performance, as WB Games has improved rendering speeds, streaming time, and actor spawn times and performance. Sync fluctuations with and without V-Sync enabled should be reduced, and the developers have also reduced GPU and CPU issues that could cause stutters and crashes.
The patch also brings various graphical improvements to Gotham Knights, fixing a bug that would cause HDR to display on the wrong monitor and a bug that would reset post-processing options when players exit photo mode. The patch fixes some artifacts you might see during the Clayface boss fight and adds a GPU driver check that should ensure you’re using up-to-date software for your graphics card.
Some UI/UX fixes are also included in the patch: the update adds missing sound effects for menus, fixes some questionable entries in the social wheel, and generally tightens the bolts on the social menu.
