What This Means for Your PC Performance

Alright, so looking at these notes, it’s clear they’re targeting specific crash scenarios rather than a blanket performance overhaul for PC. But hey, every little bit helps, right?

First off, those graphical settings you’ve been tweaking? They should actually apply now. If you were changing things and not seeing any difference in visuals or how often the game crashed, this patch might be the reason why. Remember our earlier tips on fixing PC crashes? You might still want to experiment with lowering settings like shadows and special effects if you’re still experiencing issues.

The big news is in the stability section. If this patch did its job, you should see fewer crashes during key moments, like that tough S.T.A.R. Labs fight or the Harley Quinn boss battle. We’ll have to see if this extends to other missions and just exploring Gotham, especially when you're driving over bridges, which seems to be a common crash trigger for PC players.

For those of you rocking AMD cards, there’s good news regarding shadow-related crashes. You can test this out by fiddling with your shadow settings. If your PC can handle it, you might even be able to bump up the shadow quality now where you couldn't before without a crash.

One thing to keep in mind is the Nvidia Ansel compatibility issue. It’s still being worked on, so if that’s affecting you, you’ll likely need to wait a bit longer for a fix.
