Whoa, this is ridiculous. Gonna take some serious sorcery to patch this one up.
This is game is broken bad. It made my Windows 10 install unstable. I had to reinstall the OS. Game crashes at random a lot. Bad thing is that I can't get a refund so all I can hope for is that they fix it.
At this point I don't care about the missing graphics. I just want the game to run better than it does and to stop crashing.
I also cant run the benchmark. Black screen crash every time I run it.

What is it with WB and their cheapo PC ports? First mkx and now this.
Shadow of Mordor was a good port though, probably because Monolith did it themselves.

Laughed my ass off when it turned into a slide show
Cot damn
Anyone else tried this?
Jeez that's bad. This never happened to me even before I re-locked the game to 30fps. But regardless, its such a flaming pile of shit. I've never seen anything like this release....

It's running much better for me now. I think a fair amount of it is the speed of the CPU.I turned off some unneeded processes that were going on in the background and it stopped the stuttering. However, the textures are horrible and take forever to load. I'm fine when I'm in the Batmobile or flying around, but whenever I get next to a wall it just looks like greasy shit.

So tired of having to edit ini files to fix games. Just extra steps before I actually get to play that I never dealt with on consoles. Stop trying to kill living-room PC gaming you daft pubs!

Just changed the texture resolution to 2 in the ini file and that made a pretty big difference in the textures ingame, this looks much better.
Running on a Titan X at 4k at around 40-45 fps.
This is a start, hope to see some better AA added.
Here are some pics.

"2. Change AllowD3D10=False to AllowD3D10=True (This allows you to enable D3D10 for better performance)"
That can't be right... can it?

JJ Abrams would be proud.
It kinda just sounds like changing a bunch of random client variables and hoping something sticks (and doesn't break the game). Turning motion blur off causes the game to crash immediately for me on launch, so who knows what kind of bedlam you could cause by changing more important settings.

I said bro. I'll have to try this.
What are the chances of snuffing the chromatic aberration through the ini files?

I tried it. With all Gameworks on (which is implied when saying "Everything Maxed") it still stutters like mad and drops to what I think are 30-40 fps. I can't tell exactly because MSI Afterburner's OSD doesn't display when Gameworks is on for some reason. But the fluctuations are very noticable when driving around and this is on a G-sync monitor.
Plus the low quality texture issue is still there.
My specs:
i5 2500k @ 4.5
980 ti
16 gb ram
Windows 7 64-bit
353.30 (the new "game ready" Batman: AK drivers)
2560x1440p
Everything maxed (the driving still stutters with Gameworks turned off anyways).
Yeah, I'm a bit hesitant to touch it until I get some confirmation from other Gaffers that it works. Don't want to fuck things up further
if that's even possible

780 overclocked, i5-4670k overclocked and a SSD.
Capped it at 30fps, turned all the special stuff (nvidia) on and haven't had issues in the first hour. I don't think everything is maxed. Meh, it's not perfect but it's running at 1080p and I can play the game. I only paid $36, so I'm not furious, still wish it was better.

Try settings PhysX to GPU in Nvidia control panel. Haven't tried it, but read that somewhere.

I'm not even going to attempt to play this game until they release some patches for it. The sad thing is that I will probably end up watching the story on youtube by the time it is fixed.

And it has like 400+ comments already.
moved the game to my SSD and the results are uh interesting
when I first launched it; it ran way better. wasnt getting that annoying micro freeze the video has, even tho on my HDD it happened as soon as I entered the game
played for 5 minutes. started happening again
so basically installing the game on the solid drive just delays the shittiness

Shame it doesn't delay it for 20+ hours.
So I tried these settings, unlocked the framerate again and no it doesn't help performance at all. Still stuttering and dropping like crazy. Looks like I 'have' to stick to 30fps.
This is my rig exactly. I'm completely content with locking third person games at 30 and maxing them out. GTA V looks fantastic for me. I'll worry about 60fps when I upgrade my card in a year or two. 780 is already long in the tooth but for 1080p I feel it's perfectly acceptable for now.
Fingers crossed I can have the same experience as you when my download finally finishes.
Posted this in the other thread:
I'm goign to post this on the performance thread too, but... I'm actually doing pretty good on my end.
GTX 780ti 3770k and running at 1440p. Playing on borderless window mode no Vscyn no in game AA (using FXAA from Nvidia panel).
Everything as high as it goes (textures at normal) but only Nvidia rain and light effects.
Getting avg 55 FPS. WAS getting some awful stutter, but now only when using the batmobile. Also getting some textture pop-in, and occasionally it takes textures forever to load.
Other than that It's been pretty good, smooth, veyr little stutter (mostly when in the batmobile, so I'm avoiding batmobile missions). But I just finished playing na hour fo the game, and it's pretty good. Still nto what it should be, but I think I'm going to keep playing, at least until the game starts to force me into the batmobile more.
Tried locking to 30 FPS. Tried playing on my friend's Xbone.
EDIT: Definitely getting the long loading textures on occasion. This goes away if you set detail level to normal in my tests though. And no AO/lower quality shaders still seem to be an issue.
But right now, atleast it's not stopping me from enjoyign the game, and having tried consoels at 30 fPS (and getting the same results by locking with MSI), forget it. I'm not giving up my 55 FPS for 30 FPS any day for any reason.

Following all the steps in this Steam thread "fixed" the game for me, by which I mean made it playable. Haven't seen any crashes yet.

Or maybe your VRAM content was purged in-between and you just had the impression that it was the move to your SSD.

uhhhhhhhhhh is it me or whenever a "character bio" shows up the prompt is actually for the fucking PS4 controller guide button
happens regardless of texture quality. It does act like a vram issue but it aint that
im now pausing the game to post this and when I go back and unpause after a while the game runs at 3fps for like 10 seconds

I have a 4-core 3.5ghz oc on R9 280X and it was playable between 25 to 55 frame rate until you get to the batmobile. By then, the frame rate dips as low as 10 since there are so many destructible thing. It is unplayable.
Hmmm, turns out I forgot to download the new drivers. Looks like they really did help - pretty much eliminated all my stuttering and gives me locked 30fps now. Even the Batmobile sections are fine.
This is with everything maxed at 1440p minus AA on a OC'ed 970/2500k at 4ghz. Now I'm kind of confused...

the texture streaming issues reminds me of unreal 3 engine release lol
Same here. Beside the textures not being all that great and the few other graphical things.
That's really weird. I definitely downloaded them, and I was having stuttering like crazy on my 970. Did you do a clean install? And had you messed with the .ini at all prior to this?
I haven't touched the ini file so it's still using the in-game 30fps lock. This is probably one of the best feeling 30fps implementations on PC though - feels like playing on a console. Much smoother than Witcher 3's 30fps.
Seriously dude, get a refund. They sold you a bill of goods.
I got it on nuuvem for whatever money. i'll just wait for a patch since I have no choice
