Batman Demands 12GB RAM For Windows 10 (steamcommunity.com)

Posted by timothy on from the batman-is-always-demanding-things dept.

An anonymous reader writes: Back in June, Warner Brothers removed Batman: Arkham Knight from sale after a lot of graphics and performance issues found on the PC version. Now, after spending five months trying to fix this mess, Rocksteady and Warner Bros re-released the game on Steam with some free Batman titles for those who acquired the launch edition. However, Warner Bros noted there are still a few caveats with Windows 10 users recommended to have 12GB of RAM to avoid paging issues: "For Windows 10 users, we've found that having at least 12GB of system RAM on a PC allows the game to operate without paging and provides a smoother gameplay experience." Some initial tests show no performance gains on the re-released version. Warner Bros claims that it's still working closely with its GPU partners in order to enable SLI/Crossfire for the game.

    Batman is multimillionaire Bruce Wayne. He can stop demanding, and buy his own damn Bat-RAM.

    That's simply not true. The basic functionality (cmd.exe, telemetry and NSA reporting) works fine with just 4Gb.

    Batman requires so much memory

    That's what he needs for contingency plans and backup plans. Batman never ponders where he left the Bat Shark Repellent - he just knows :)
