　　Updates in the first patch include:

A future patch will enable this in the graphics settings menu"Rocksteady is leading our team of developers and partners as we work on the PC performance issues that players have been encountering," Warner Bros. said. "The work is significant and while we are making good progress on improving performance, it will take some time to ensure that we get the right fixes in place."

　　These are the issues that Warner Bros. said it's dedicating its resournces to in order to improve the game:

　　Support for frame rates above 30FPS in the graphics settings menuFix for low resolution texture bugImprove overall performance and framerate hitchesAdd more options to the graphics settings menuImprovements to hard drive streaming and hitchesAddress full screen rendering bug on gaming laptopImprovements to system memory and VRAM usageNVIDIA SLI bug fixesEnabling AMD CrossfireNVIDIA and AMD updated driversWarner Bros. suspended sales of the PC version of the game last week until these issues are fixed.
