Batman: Arkham Knight gets new PC patch to improve VRAM issues

Batman: Arkham Knight has received another patch that solves many of the reported issues and improves VRAM management.

At this point, all those waiting for Batman: Arkham Knight to return to Steam already know the re-release isn't miles better. While it does fix some of the most egregious problems the game launched with, many others were left intact.

Warner Bros., however, continues to release patches on PC. For one, these patches bring support for DLC, while continuing to fix or improve other known issues. Yesterday, the game received another patch to do both.
