While Batman Arkham Knight, the Batman from Rocksteady's last game in the series,  makes a final appearance, the PC version of the game has turned out to be unsteady for the Caped Crusader to defend Gotham City.

The developer did acknowledge that there were "some known issues" for PC owners who use AMD graphics card. However, it did say it was rectifying the issues and would roll out an update that will provide the fix.

There was another message from CODA community manager who said in a statement that the team was "aware" of performance issues in PC and it has been taken seriously. It is already working with the "external PC development partner" and will resolve the issues as soon as it can.

Batman Arkham Knight was released on 23 June, 2015 for PC, PS4 and Xbox One.

Game Cache Files Issue

It should be noted that those running an older DirectX might also experience flickering.
