Batman Arkham Knight: Missing Textures; NVIDIA GameWorks On PC; Official Recommended Settings
UPDATE: When NVIDIA Gameworks is active the game reverts back to DirectX 10 (instead of sticking to DirectX 11).
Well Batman Arkham Night is missing a lot of graphical textures/effects for the PC version such as ambient occlusion and rain textures which NVIDIA Gameworks showcased but Warner has decided to disable them in the settings for now. This makes the PS4 version of the game look better and even run smoother. At certain section of the game the textures are missing which looks like they are lowered when compared to the PS4 version:
Remember the video that showcased NVIDIA gameworks for Batman Arkham Night at 1080p 60fps? Well they showed off:
- Interactive Fog and Smoke:
• Interactive Paper Debris
• PhysX Destruction
• Enhanced Rain
What happened to interactive rain? This was properly removed by the team of 12 that did the port (not NVIDIA Fault). Well, it doesn’t matter as Warner Bro have an official statement telling us to disable Gameworks. On the community forum they have stated that they are aware of the issue and are currently fixing it but in the mean time they also need support from the gamers who are addressing these issues.
