Warner Bros. pulls Batman: Arkham Knight's PC version

After a launch plagued by issues, Warner Bros. has removed the PC version of Batman: Arkham Knight from stores.

The publisher has asked fans to be patient while they fix the multiple issues affecting the game. In a statement, Warner Bros. said, “If you purchased your copy of the game and are not satisfied with your experience, then we ask for your patience while these issues are resolved."

Warner Bros. added that players can request a refund from Steam or at a retail store if they wish.

Batman: Arkham Knight director Sefton Hill tweeted that "WB Games is working with the PC developer Iron Galaxy to address the issues ASAP. Rocksteady will provide any support to get this resolved."

Issues include a locked frame rate of 30fps, though there are workarounds; a lack of high performance visual effects, and stuttering.

The Steam version of Arkham Knight has received more than 6,000 negative reviews since its launch. "You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain." That statement has never seemed truer.
