Gotham Knights won’t launch, crash fix
The problem may be common with gaming laptops. This may be due to hardware limitations, heat, and outdated graphics drivers. So, here are the most basic but important steps to solve the problem.
- Update to the latest graphics drivers.
- Verify the integrity of the game files on Steam and the Epic Store.
- Disable background apps.
- Restart your computer once if the game freezes.
- On your laptop, switch to a high performance power plan. Plug in your laptop charger and play.
- Install the latest game patch. This is done via automatic updates, but if it fails, you can check for updates via Steam or the Epic game library.
- If the problem is serious, please file a bug report with the developer.
How to verify the integrity of a game file on Steam?
- Right click the game > Properties.
- Local Files > click “Verify Integrity of Game Files”.
How to verify the integrity of the game file on Epic?
- Right click the game > Properties.
- Local Files > click “Verify Integrity of Game Files”.
Checking the integrity of the files will restore all corrupted game files. This happens due to mods or due to failed updates. Steam or Epic will check all game files and replace them in case of damage. Also, if you have enabled cloud save, don’t worry about saving the game. It will be restored after the game is fixed.
Also check the minimum system requirements once to run Gotham Knights. The game requires at least a GeForce 1660Ti or Radeon RX 590 Level card. At least 4 GB of graphics memory is enough to run the game at medium settings. As for the processor, the system must have a Core i5-9600K or Ryzen 5 360 processor. The minimum recommended amount of RAM is 8 GB and 45 GB of disk space. If your system is on top, then the problem is definitely in the drivers or in the game itself. If all else fails, try reinstalling the game once, removing it completely. This fixes most of the performance related issues.
