‘Batman: Arkham Knight’ for PC continues to suffer from bugs, Warner Bros. issues unconditional refunds to players

The PC version of “Batman: Arkham Knight” was relaunched on the Steam store last Oct. 27. Publisher Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainments said that the PC version has been fixed of bugs and performance issues, and it has even offered the entire Arkham Series for free to PC users. However, since the game's launch, there have been reports that it still has bugs and glitches.

Several players took to various social networking sites to express their disappointment for yet another issue-riddled copy of “Batman: Arkham Knight” for the PC. Although the game performs better than the controversial launch version, “Batman: Arkham Knight” for the PC reportedly still suffers from bugs that render the game unplayable to some.

Warner Bros. has since addressed the problem and has offered an unconditional refund for players who want their money back. The publisher took to the Steam page of “Batman: Arkham Knight” to apologise to disappointed fans. Players will be able to get a refund on the game even if they have been playing it for a while, disregarding the refund guidelines of Steam.

“Until the end of 2015, we will be offering a full refund on Batman: Arkham Knight PC, regardless of how long you have played the product. You can also return the Season Pass along with the main game (but not separately),” Warner Bros. wrote on the Steam page of the game.

The issues plaguing the game may have been caused by optimisation issues, Gamespot reports. On the Oct. 27 relaunch, it was advised that players on Windows 10 should have at least 12 GB of RAM when playing the game. However, prior to the title's original June launch, only 8 GB of RAM was required to play the game on the highest setting possible.

Some issues seen in the relaunch version are frequent stuttering, application crashing and frame rate drops. Warner Bros. is still looking to fix the game as it stated that players who opt to keep the title will be given updates in the future.
