The highly anticipated 3rd Batman game from Rocksteady is out now and early reviews indicate that it is a real masterpiece. PC gamers might still want to wait with the purchase however, since reports about performance issues are aplenty.

The game uses Nvidia Gameworks technology, so you could expect that it would at least run decent on an Nvidia Cards, but as it turns out, both manufacturers cards aren’t able to guarantee a smooth experience. If you look at the Steam reviews, you will find quite a few people using flagship cards like the GTX 980, 290X or Titan X complaining about frame rate issues. Dips below 10fps seem to be no exception, which makes the game clearly unplayable in its current state.

While there is no fix for the frame rate issue yet (the newly released Nvidia driver does not seem to help), the frame rate cap is something you can fix yourself by editing a .ini file. Keep in mind though that this could break the game even further. If you still want to try it however, do the following:

1. Browse to  C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Batman Arkham Knight\BMGame\Config\BMSystemSettings.ini
2. Press Ctrl+F and search for the phrase "maxfps"
3. Change the number 30 to 60
4. Save the file and launch the game

This is also a good time to remind everyone about Steam refunds ;)
