Even after the re-release, Batman: Arkham Knight still suffers from major issues

Two major bugs that plagued Batman: Arkham Knight when it initially launched are still present in the new release.

After four months of sale suspension, Warner Bros. brought Batman: Arkham Knight back to Steam. The new version is the most updated one, having received two patches to iron things out and deliver an acceptable port.

However, according to the publisher, two of the issues the game suffered initially have not been fixed in the new release. "After extensive testing, a hard drive paging issue with some GPUs on Windows 7 may occur after extended gameplay sessions," reads a new update by Warner.

"If you encounter this, simply re-launching the game will resolve the issue."

This paging issue is one of the key reasons most PC users suffered from hitching and and stuttering, which was arguably the most egregious and hard to put up with out of any of its other problems.

Furthermore, the new blog post advises users on Windows 10 to have at least 12GB of RAM for the game to "operate without paging and provides a smoother gameplay experience." The game's recommended specs still ask for 8GB of RAM.

Looking over Reddit, as well as the Steam forums, reveals a bleak picture as well. A large number of users are reporting massive performance issues, with some claiming the new patches have made things worse.

Crucially, key issues such as stuttering, freezing and dropped frames still plague the game, despite it mostly achieving 60fps on high-end hardware, according to a few Reddit users.

Some fans are cynically believing all the re-release achieved was deliver add-on content to those who own the season pass, not to mention add support for future DLCs.
