Essential improvements

Fix crashes to desktop

The patch made to the game on December 14, 2022 introduced an issue in which a function in one of the game's audio libraries caused the game to frequently crash to the desktop. This patch, created by Steam Community user html99, disables that function.

Patch executable^[2]

To install the patch:

If on a Steam Deck, switch to the desktop (Steam Button > Power > Switch to Desktop)
Open your Library in Steam
Open the folder Gotham Knights is installed to by right clicking on it and selecting Properties > Local Files > Browse
Continue from the set of steps below which correspond to your OS

To continue installing the patch on Windows:

Open Powershell by clicking the address bar in Explorer, typing "powershell" (without quotes) and pressing enter
Copy and paste the below commands into Powershell and press enter

$data = [System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes('Mercury/Binaries/Win64/GothamKnights.exe') if ( (Get-FileHash -InputStream ([System.IO.MemoryStream] $data) -Algorithm SHA1).Hash -eq '8117FB002B7C3DD2388C9F0B111197C30DB01496' ) { $data[0x20A7716] = 0x40 $data[0x20A7717] = 0x85 $data[0x20A7718] = 0xC0 $data[0x20A7719] = 0x90 [System.IO.File]::WriteAllBytes('Mercury/Binaries/Win64/GothamKnights.exe', $data) } Write-Output (("`n" * 3) + [System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetString(@(68, 111, 110, 101, 33)) + "`n")

Wait several seconds for the commands to finish. You can tell they're done when the word "Done!" is displayed.
Your game should now be patched. You can now close Explorer and Powershell.

To continue installing the patch on Linux and SteamOS:

Open a terminal in folder Gotham Knights is installed in. On SteamOS, this can be done by right clicking on the folder's background (the big dark gray area) and selecting "Open Terminal Here". The exact steps may be different for other OS's.
Type "python3" (without quotes) in the terminal and press enter
Copy and paste the below commands into the terminal and press enter

import sys, hashlib fh = open('Mercury/Binaries/Win64/GothamKnights.exe', 'rb') ; data = fh.read() ; fh.close() data = data.replace(bytes.fromhex('483942407553488b8318310000'), bytes.fromhex('4085C0907553488b8318310000')) if hashlib.sha1(data).hexdigest() == '8117fb002b7c3dd2388c9f0b111197c30db01496' else data fh = open('Mercury/Binaries/Win64/GothamKnights.exe', 'wb') ; fh.write(data) ; fh.close() sys.exit(('\n'*3)+bytes.fromhex('446f6e6521').decode())

Wait several seconds for the commands to finish. You can tell they're done when the word "Done!" is displayed.
Your game should now be patched. You can now close the file browser and terminal.
