Batman: Arkham Knight for PC pulled from Steam and retailers due to bugs

Warner Bros. has pulled the PC version of Batman: Arkham Knight from sale due to "performance issues." While no date was given for when the game might be put back on sale, the publisher is promising to address the wide range of performance issues players are experiencing. Those who have already purchased the game can request a refund from Steam, or from the retail location where the game was purchased.

Earlier this week, users across Steam and Reddit began reporting serious issues with the PC version of Batman: Arkham Knight, including stuttering, wildly variable frame rates, and crashes. The problems are so bad that even those with high-end graphics cards like the GTX Titan X and GTX 980 Ti (myself included), are unable to run the game at a steady 60 FPS. Some AMD users are reporting frame rates in the single digits.

Arkham Knight's removal from sale follows a less-than-helpful post from Warner Bros. on Tuesday. While the company did acknowledge the game’s performance issues in the post, it simply re-iterated the recommended settings for certain hardware, and suggested that players do not tamper with .ini files in order to remove the baffling 30 FPS cap. Suffice it to say, players were not pleased with Warner's suggestions.
