Nonsense. Reinstall the entire game because we modified the ini? Is the memory leak sentient or something?
Or it could just be loading in data earlier because there's free memory doing nothing...
Yes, and what proof do you have that uncapping fps irreversibly causes the leak?
Not that I should be cheering, but now I have the game locked 30fps everything but smoke maxed out.
This is with the latest nvidia driver using adaptive vsync (half refresh rate) and vsync in-game set to off.
I'm on a GTX 670 and FX CPU at 4.5ghz with 8GB ram
So yeah, its playable. Even motion blur has no effect on the frame rate (I get the stutter when loading a new part of the world, but that's to be expected).

I was doing not great, but playable and stuck close to 30fps.
Then the batmobile....
They better fucking fix this. With WB, that is not given.

Now I cant say all but some that didnt touch the ini seems to run the game just fine
lol no
I edited the ini and I'm running just fine. Zero crashes and smooth performance for 2 hours.

Yeah that seems to be it. IQ is definitely worse than I remember seeing in trailers lol. I was playing Arkham City recently and while AK has better effects AC looks like it has better IQ :/
Maybe. But why is there stuttering and slowdown when neither the GPU or CPU are at 100%? It points to a streaming issue.
My game was stuttering just the same when I was flying before and after I unlocked it.
Do not reinstall the game, it won't do shit. Just changing the ini to the original values is enough and if that doesn't help there's nothing to do but wait for a patch.

Sometimes Fraps doesn't load either, it's like it fails to recognise it's a 3d application or something...it's weird.
I agree it looks pretty average. It's like they're trying to hide all the low-res assets and shitty textures with over-the-top effects that end up just making it look bad. Even at 4k it just doesn't look right, like the shitty parts become more noticeable. The character models are good but it's like the rest of the game is missing a high-res texture pack or something. No ambient occlusion and the other missing effects don't help either.
There's also no "Graphics, Performance and Tweaking" guide on the Geforce website like they do for every other big game release..GTA V, Witcher 3, even Dying Light had one. Strange when Nvidia's been plugging the Gameworks and promoting it so hard...

No need to reinstall the whole game though. Just change the ini back to what it was.
You did make a backup right?
lol what
It seems to be running OK for me most of the time. I have an i5-3570, GTX 970, and 16GB of RAM. After editing the INI file and turning on vsync I get a mostly steady 60fps as long as I'm not in the Batmobile (which is when it begins to stutter).
I was really hyped for this game, but I think I'll put it on hold until they fix things. The missing rain textures are a bummer since it seems that it's always raining in Gotham now.

Agreed. It's been bugging me but you're right. I legit think Arkham City has better IQ. Maybe not better effects, but the IQ is so much cleaner.
I'm running it fine, albeit @ 30fps -- as "intended". I increased the frame cap to 60 before locking it with RivaTuner because if you do 30 (ini) and 30 (RT) it looks and performs much worse than 60 (ini) and 30 (RT). I posted my exact configuration earlier and it runs excellent, probably the best 30fps I've personally seen on PC. I haven't had any problems with stability either and I haven't rebooted for hours after playing the game. Maybe I'm due for a hit soon, who knows.
edit: Bait, eh? You Goddamned Bathead !!

No so many people trying to refute that you don't need to reinstall the game if you dare edit the ini.

Huh. My low-res texture problems went away as soon as I switched back to 30FPS. Lovely....
he was very convincing in truth
Some of us are also trying to help each other and not troll. I had a laugh though, its been a long day of this...

LOL at the CA in the process name.
It needs film grain, motion blur, lens flare and every other filter known to man.
Haven't you heard m8 you should buy the game again for improved performance!
is this the first game to straight up using XBO controller button prompts
Witcher 3 also does it.

is this the first game to straight up using XBO controller button prompts (View button instead of Back)
Damn that looks like garbage. Is that a result of the port or is it just overall an uglier game?
weird. played for 65 hours so far and didnt seem to notice it
pretty sure im "maxed out" there
film grain is just trash

Been like that for as long as this gen. I remember raging in AC:U because the tutorial showed the view button + a face button as the prompt, and I didn't realize the view button was an actual button. Kept hitting the one button and wondering why it wasn't doing what it was supposed to

I really need to turn off Steam's FPS counter, I look at it way too much.
So, played for an two after putting shadows back on high and turning on the GameWorks smoke/fog game while staying at the default 30FPS lock. The game finally started using more than 30% of my 970 SSC but only when in the Batmobile going fast and power sliding outside the Batmobile it drops back down to the 30s, still not impressed, did actually see it hit 95% for a second while driving, did have a small stutter in a couple spots with the frame rate dropping to 26 for a split second,. The smoke is such a joke though, I'd do donuts for several seconds and it disappears so quickly that I can't actually interact with it. Playing as long as I did again memory utilization was into the 90s with the game around 5.7GB and wouldn't be surprised if it hit 6GB while playing, still using a ton of virtual memory which I have to imagine is a cause of a lot of the stutter problems at 8GB RAM, I have my VM on my SSD so imagine that's helped. Finally also saw my GPU memory break the 3584MB mark with it reaching 3900MB, I did experience a couple small stutters as the game went into the
cut scene so I'm not entirely sure if it was caused by the GPU memory, the high system memory or the moving data from the PF into the memory after the cutscene I tried to get it to stutter more but it wouldn't while the game was still tapping into the slow 512MB partition.
A near 12GB total memory commitment? DA FUQ?!
Forgot I wanted to check something with the rain after getting the
... BRB with an edit.
EDIT: Okay, yeah it must have just been my imagination or the
is just shinier. Also didn't notice rain doing anything more than just rain drops hitting Batman and then doing nothing, I should've turned off enhanced rain and gave it another look because with it on I couldn't see it really doing anything.
Yes, the game will fill up your system RAM and then go into your page file which might be too small seems to need to be at least 4GB to prevent the low memory issue, I changed mine to 8GB before starting the game this time around. The game seems to want around 3GB of PF access and about 8GB VM commitment in total.
It's also using as much system RAM and virtual memory as it can. If I were running my page file off one of my HDDs I imagine it'd cause a shitload of stutter.

Anyone keep running into low memory issues?
I have the recommended 8GB of RAM, yet every time I boot into either the story or Performance test it keeps telling me I have low memory - All other applications or potential memory hogs have been shut down and their processes stopped.
Must be my shitty i7 2600K holding me back

As someone else in the thread already mentioned, the aesthetics of the game are not very appealing. I can't quite put my fingers on it, but it's a bunch of things that just makes the game... Ugly. At least to me... Aliasing, low res textures, etc.

With gameworks on?
Chromatic aberration is what's really killing it imo. The more I play the more I get used to it (ymmv of course) but still pictures like this look horrible. It looks better in motion. Still CA heavy though.
No but in other games I've had the issue with it is i because the game thinks there's another controller connected, even if there isn't. Might want to see if your devices are showing more controllers than their should be.

So how bad is this port? How powerful does your computer have to be to beat out the PS4 version?
