For veterans of previous Arkham games not used to the new Detective Mode bindings and still has muscle memory, you can revert back to the old by editing the config files.
.
Find "Batman Arkham Knight\BmGame\Config\BmInput.ini", open it via text editor, "ForensicMode" is mapped to "XboxTypeS_DPad_Up" and while "DualPlay" is mapped to "XboxTypeS_LeftShoulder". Just swap dualplay and forensticmode on both entries, then save it and set to read only
.
The only caveat is that the UI prompts will still display the original controls and the game will display a warning upon boot up that config files have been edited.
You can Force 30FPS to 40FPS/hz to maximize battery life. 40hz gives about 2h30m to 3h on my Steam Deck LCD
Micro-stutters:
Batman Arkham is generally a bad PC port when it released. However, with the Steam Deck, it can maintain a solid 60 fps for most of the gameplay, with minor drops to low 40s and high 30s during High-speed Batmobile or heavy open world segments.
.
There are micro-stutters though. For more stability and less stutters and you can install this fix https://sherief.fyi/robin/dxgi.dll, just download and put in the same folder as the game's exe. (Batman Arkham Knight\Binaries\Win64).
.
Just run the game after that, to confirm if its working a reshade overlay will come up once you boot the game. you can close it by pressing Home hotkey or temporarily binding your controller to Home to close it and rebinding it again to default.
Used normal settings, 1280x800 resolution, and 60fps limit with vsync on. turned off all gameworks
