While Gotham Knights has been well received by players, it still suffers from some technical issues. Now the first update is here, but it doesn’t fix everything.
Update:
After the first patch for Gotham Knights released yesterday did not include any performance improvements, Warner Bros. spoke up via Twitter to curb the players’ anger from the outset. Among other things, it confirms that the current update for the weekend is also coming to the consoles. Furthermore, the developers are in the process of putting together an extensive patch, which is intended to stabilize the frame rates on the consoles in particular, but is also intended to improve the game’s performance in general.
Calling all Knights! Thank you to the Community for your continued support of #GothamKnights. It’s amazing to see the game live and in your hands! As we begin to roll out Patches, we’d like to outline what to expect in the coming weeks as well as clarify some things: (1/7)

When this update will appear is currently still open. You’d probably do well to let Gotham Knights mature for a few more days before playing it at shaky frame rates.

Gotham Knights isn’t perfect, but it does have its good points. However, the technical implementation is not part of it in all areas, and the performance in particular could be significantly better. Now a first update has been released, which should at least fix some problems – unfortunately, performance is not one of them.
Issues with graphical settings not being applied properly or keyboard and mouse input issues should now be resolved. Various UI and localization issues have also been fixed. Joining via invitation from friends should also work better now.
Here are the patch notes for the update:
General:
- Invincible enemies playing a “meditating” animation will no longer appear in crimes.
Various UI issue fixes. - Fixed issues caused by graphical settings not being applied properly.
Various localization fixes. - Fixed various Keyboard/Mouse specific input issues.
Co-op:
- Fixed an issue that was preventing being able to join friends through invites.
Stability:
- Various crash fixes throughout the title, most notably during the S.T.A.R. Labs “free the scientists” fight and the Harley Quinn Hospital Boss Fight.
- Fixed an AMD specific crash related to shadows.
Known Issues:
- There may be some compatibility issues with Nvidia Ansel that we are still investigating for this patch
Felix takes to the dangerous streets of Gotham City. In Gotham Knights, however, you don’t slip into the role of Batman, but control four new heroes. But this idea doesn’t work.
