Batman: Arkham Origins PC patch means it might work slightly better now

You are you know.

If you noticed a big fat (3.1GB) patch downloading for Batman: Arkham Origins last night, you may be wondering what the update actually includes. The game was troubled by quite a few bugs and glitches on its release, especially on PC, and Tim reviewed it accordingly. Warner Bros do appear to be making efforts to fix it up though, as this latest patch can attest.

So, here’s the latest bits of broken that they’ve patched over. I’m particularly fond of “Fixed Fatal Error on Press Start screen,” (quite handy!) although “Fixed Bird thugs not spawning” is quite funny out of context as well. Makes me think of Batman being mugged by Angry Birds. Then it makes me think of Batman beating up Angry Birds. Anyway, patch notes.
