I set the fps cap back to 30 and now the texture problems are gone.
WTF? These issues shouldn't have anything to do with one another.

This game just gets worse and worse. It's practically unplayable at the moment, Was playing for two hours or so. Fucking bullshit, really.
The PC version is missing out on effects like AO and rain decals on the batsuit. As it stands, the PS4 version will look better. It's bizarre.
The extra Nvidia stuff adds a little but really not much - not enough to compensate anyway.

It doesn't matter how powerful your PC is at this point.

Yeah, but the question here is which setting to lower because no setting in-game improves your framerate. So your post actually helps less than that Steam guide.
There's also the fact that it has a tweak to up the texture res, among other stuff that doesn't just lower settings. Salsa said that he just wanted to play without the awful stutter he is suffering from. Yeah the port is a mess but I see no problem with posting that to help people out since you can't actually change many settings in the game itself.
No PC on earth, no networked super computer, no cray mainframe world conquering AI can match the PS4 version so far, since graphical features are just straight up missing.
That work unplugged my logitech 3d joystick, still no other game was confused by it. Thanks for the help

I might have to buy it on PS4, even though I'm trying my best not to.
For now, I'll just wait.

You'll need to make sure that only the 360 controller is plugged in when you start the game. I had the same problem.

Yet another slap in the face.
Keep 30FPS capped to experience the same as consoles. Do not tinker with the .ini . It'd be better if they said nothing IMO.

It doesn't recognize the game for me if I have the Gameworks smoke/fog setting on. Otherwise the OSD works fine.

Yep, fuck this. I'm getting a refund. I was going to wait, but this sealed the deal.
Obviously not true considering the rain textures, AO and colour profile are either messed up and missing.

"If you purchased your copy of the game through Steam and are not satisfied with your experience, you can request a refund at help.steampowered.com (Steam refund policies can be found here: http://store.steampowered.com/steam_refunds)."
Hey WB/rocksteady want you to do that !

They basically turned into Ubisoft with this game.
Yeah it seems like Nvidia straight up lied. What version were they showing?
This whole thing a joke. Steam refunds were needed for stuff like this.
Unless disabling bloom and reflections is what fixes everything (and it could be, I don't have the game to personally test) then the guide really doesn't provide any useful information for improving performance.
Can someone please get the original settings for a couple of lines in the BMEngine.ini? I just need the following:
PostProcessNoiseTextureName=
PostProcessGlareBeamTextureName=
I was trying to remove the CA and that noise/film grain but changing these didn't seem to do anything and I forgot to save a copy of the file beforehand... Oops.
PostProcessNoiseTextureName=
PostProcessGlareBeamTextureName=

This pretty much means they will only (hopefully) fix the stuttering, performance, etc, but won't add the missing effects.
What a joke.
lololololololol this shit's never getting fixed.
What was the last major game that released a port and said basically the play at 30 FPS? All of the examples I can think of were delayed ports by Japanese devs that have little to no experience with the platform.
Oh and I guess South Park but I don't think anyone cared there because it fit the show's style.

Ignoring how good or bad the textures look, what's in a name? The normal ones are probably the ones the game uses on other platforms. What would be different if they'd called Low Normal and Normal High?

I'm actually surprised there hasn't been more justifiable outrage towards nvidia in all of this. They sold a lot of cards on the back of that inaccurate footage. Can't they get in trouble for false advertising (shouldn't they already be for the whole 4gb thing)?

fuck em up their stupid asses.Sad thing is, people will still pre-order the shit out of the next shitty PC port
nothing. im mostly talking about the impossiblity of getting textures to look even decent on 2 gigs of vram
they look WAY worse than any other recent game's "normal" setting
- played GTAV at constant 60fps with textures on High
- Shadow of Mordor did sorta became a slideshow with textures on High after a while and those did require 3gb according to the game, but I could go Normal or low; Normal was more than fine, also 60fps
this game would have an excuse to set 2gigs of vram as the absolute MINIMUM for textures if they looked any good or low was equivalent to other games' normal settings; they don't, they look like fucking dog shit and it's 30fps

They're also saying that people that meet the minimum requirements should play at 720p.
After seeing that misleading Nvidia Batman promo video I can see why they have been silent. They are trying to distance themselves from this disaster. Still, I'd like to know what version of Batman they were showing.

That WB Community Admin BS has to be some kind of fucking stopgap... how can the Benchmark be so fucking wrong from what the game puts out? Is it legacy from when they actually were targeting 60FPS years ago but now serves no purpose since the game is SUPPOSED to be capped at 30FPS?
