Running the PC version of Batman: Arkham City – which sees its UK release today – in DirectX 11 is causing performance issues and a patch is in the works, developer Rocksteady has confirmed.
“We’re working on a title update to address this matter and expect to make it available in the near future,” said US community manager Andy Cataldo in a post on the Rocksteady forums.
In the meantime, Rocksteady suggests switching to DirectX 9 and has provided detailed instructions of how to do so with the Games for Windows LIVE and Steam versions of the game:
Games for Windows LIVE:
1. Open the Start Menu
2. Select All Programs and then the Games folder
3. Right click on Batman: Arkham City and select Launcher
4. Choose Settings then click on the arrow next to DX options to change
Steam:
1. Open Steam
2. Select Library
3. Right click on Batman: Arkham City and select Configure PC Options
4. Choose Settings then click on the arrow next to DX options to change
