Arkham Knight's PC requirements raised; Warner Bros. having trouble getting game to run on AMD cards

Knight terrors




Less than a day before Arkham Knight is due to release, a representative for Warner Bros. has admitted that the game is experiencing troubling performance issues on AMD cards. As a result, they have revised the game's minimum requirements, claiming AMD users will need at least a 7950 to run the game.

Quite why the company waited until the eve of the game's release to furnish PC gamers with this information is unknown, but AMD users --myself being one of them-- are sure to greet the news with no small amount of consternation.

The issue first came to light yesterday evening, when Warner admin Yorick announced that the game's minimum specs had been revised. The admin then went on to admit the game is experiencing issues with AMD cards. AMD are aware of the issue and are apparently working alongside the Arkham team to get them fixed.

While, I'm glad Warners spilled the beans, I can't believe these issues are only coming to light now. Plus, why has this information been stealthily posted on a message board instead of officially announced via a press release? Surely an announcement like this, which could affect the experience of potentially thousands of PC gamers, deserves a more public airing. If it wasn't for someone posting this on Steam, I would have had no idea this issue even existed.
