Configuration
If everything is going according to plan, when you launch Batman Arkham City, you should be welcomed by the Advanced Launcher. Here the fun begins with multiple settings. The game is from 2011 and should have no problem running on recent hardware with some settings maxed out.
Something that needs to be disabled if active is the Debug Menu keybind. it’s not useful here.

Debug Menu and Visuals
To access the debug menu, two choices RT + Menu
on your controller or hold Right SHIFT
or DEL
.
The navigation is far more easier with the controller as you won’t have to keep the debug menu key pressed when navigating.
To have a better LOD (Level of Details), navigate until you reach the ENGINE
page. you should see this
If the Min Obj Pixels
default value is on 25.0000, lower it until you reach 0.5000 for more detailed environment.
By default, the MassiveLOD Distance Scale is set to 4.0000. Set it to 5.0000
