Batman: Arkham Knight Framerate Unlock & Tweak Guide

Batman: Arkham Knight is out today and here we will show you how to get past a few of the games issues with a few simple tweaks.

Before we start I would recommend that you download some new GPU Drivers for this game, as both Nvidia and AMD have both released new drivers for this game over the past 20 hours. For the best performance in this game you will need to be using the latest game drivers.

Disabling Intro Movies/ Cinematics

Many games are plagued with opening cinematics, which after your first boot of the game do nothing but slow down when you just want to game. Your time is limited, so here is how to skip these pesky intro movies.

First you must head into your Batman: Arkham Knight Install directory and find the games "Movies" folder. The folder can usually be found at the below location, if you installed it on your C:\ drive.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Batman Arkham Knight\BMGame\Movies

Once you are there you must find these two files, "Intro_BM3Logo_fire.usm" and "nv_logo.usm". These two file contain the game's intro movies, and all you need to do to disable them is rename them.

We advise that you simply add something like .DISABLE or .OLD to the end of the file names, so that you can easily re-enable the files again if you wish.

Now with this edit you should boot the game directly to the game's start screen.

Disabling the 30FPS Framerate Cap

For most of us PC gamers a 30 FPS framerate cap is far too low, yes on consoles you hardware is fixed and will not be able to go higher, but on PC this is simply not the case.

With the right hardware this game should be able to play at a higher framerate, so why limit yourself or your PC if you do not need too, after all a steady 60 FPS will give you a much better gaming experience.

Firstly you will need to find Batman: Arkham Knight's config folder, which will be found in the below location if you use your C:\ drive for installation.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Batman Arkham Knight\BMGame\Config

Inside this folder you will find a file called "BmSystemSettings.ini", which is where you can edit where the games framerate cap is. You can open and edit this file using Notepad or a different text editor.

When you have opened the file in your preferred text editor, press CTRL+F to open it's search function and use it to find the following line.

MaxFPS=30.000000

Once found you can edit the value of 30.000000 to any framerate that you desire, for example 60FPS if you use a 60Hz display.

MaxFPS=60.000000

You can use this method to change the framerate limit to any framerate that you choose, be it 60, 120 or 144Hz. We do not advise that you place the limit beyond your displays refresh rate to prevent tearing. Alternatively you can set the limit to 9999 if you want to framerate to be "uncapped".

Once you are finished editing your .ini file please save and exit it.

Now your game should now be able to run at your desired framerate, provided that you have the hardware to back it up.

Warning - The game was not designed to run at above 30FPS by default, so some graphical glitches may result by uncapping your framerate.

Disabling Motion Blur

Before the game's first PC patch disabling Motion Blur in the .ini file caused crashes, and many other issues. This has now been fixed, but the option is still yet to be added to the games graphical options menu.

To disable Motion Blur you must enter into the same .ini file that you did to uncap the framerate and change the following values.



MotionBlur=True

Change too



MotionBlur=False







Some users may still experience issues with this fix, but Warner Brothers assures us that this option will no longer cause and game crashes in their patch notes.

Hopefully Rocksteady games will bring these option into the games settings in a later patch, but until then we hope that these fixes will help you get a better gaming experience with Batman Arkham Knight.
