Take a look at this picture.
See the edge where the objects meet. Do you see them not casting shadows on each other?
That's lack of AO.

This is incredible news... but how is that going to work with redacting codes?

Maybe they are very confident that the patch will fix all the issues.

I imagine they are confident that it will either fix issues or people's anger will die down.

Of course I've tried changing the settings and using different combinations. The game still regularly stutters.
I get a splitting headache every time I try to play a game at 30 FPS. You can defend 30 FPS as much as you want, however you want. Nothing you say will trump my own experience: 30 FPS is physically bad for me.
The "30 FPS is fine, deal with it" attitude is as toxic as it gets. If you're fine with it, more power to you. But PC gaming is, first and foremost, about having options. You should be able to lock your game at 30, 60, 120 and 144, or leave it uncapped if you want.

Its shit , get a refund , it you can't , wait for the patch. Honestly the game is a broken mess.
30FPS is fine for some people,not having the option to set it higher is what bothers game(this needs to be a standard in AAA PC releases). The biggest thing that bother me is the framedrops + graphical downgrade.

The benchmark actually seems to be fairly accurate (this first time you run it), it's just when you get into a playable section it goes to shit because of a massive (v)memory leak.

Thanks.
That might be what im seeing then, maybe looks a little washed because a lack of shadows.
Shake Appeal

Yep. If they can fix the memory leak, it'll do wonders for performance, at least.

It's probably washed out because you have the wrong RGB settings on your TV.
Tessellated cape in Origins is a gen above this game cape.
About the performance, locked 30 fps with a single 680gtx.

Game has been running mostly fine for me so far but I've kept my settings on the more conservative side as a result of all this.
i7 4790k
GTX 970
16GB RAM
SSD
Win 8.1
Only problem I've had so far is at one point randomly when i looked at the map, it didn't display properly and was made up of rainbow colours across the screen, then it crashed.

will look into that also, i know there is a thread floating about that has tips on how to fix it. Cheers.

No effort or rushed port.
The game has 5 graphical options , that is a BAD indicator.
Post it here if you find it.
So been unable to play games for the past 2 weeks as i sent my 980 to EVGA to get the 980TI.
Just installed this as i got my new card today and i guess its a bad port then. Capped to 30fps i see too.
Ran the game full will all NVIDIA works stuff on fps looks shit took all th eNVIDIA works off its still the same issue with fps. Running at 1080p too.
Think i will give it a bit of time till they hopefully sort this out before i play it.

I forgot some posts with comparison pics that people made in one of the other BAK topics from before release where the PS4 version I at least thought oddly looked better than what was supposedly the PC version, that probably should've been a red flag.
The game is going balls deep into your virtual memory and blowing up your page file, possibly thanks to the ridiculous amount of memory this game is using.
IIRC he talking about comparable hardware, people have been misunderstanding that quote since he made it. We certainly don't need a GPU that puts out twice the flops at the PS4 to just match it, difference between NVIDIA and AMD's architecture aside the 750Ti and even other AMD cards has shown that, this games requirements are a joke and an even bigger one now that we've seen how it looks and runs. Then there's the current gen console's shitty CPUs.

Not only is it also 30 FPS on consoles it looks better while doing it and for many the console version also runs better... When it shouldn't.

I've played an hour just now and I haven't encountered a single extreme drop compared to yesterday (besides the "usual" drop to ~27) or short freeze, mostly 31fps solid. Coincidence or has there been an invisible patch?

At any rate, I haven't been able to run this so "well" since, uhm, never. Anyone else noticing this? It used to drop to unplayable kinds of fps, well down to the tens and frequently even lower to single digits when gliding around Gotham. Now it's mostly 31 solid...

I need to upgrade my GPU then I could make the Ultra settings.
i7 5820k
16GB DDR4
GTX 970
Upgrade to a 980 Ti and I'm good to go on ultra.

I'm not too sure how speed tree works in this game, surely it wouldn't create a new tree every time you enter an area. There shouldn't definitely be a tree in the PC version too, unless speed tree is also having issues on the PC version.
I don't know, thought maybe trying to cover their tracks or whatever. Yesterday it was all kinds of unreal shitfest whereas now it's actually playable in terms of fps (still some issues with textures not loading).
Still thinking it's just a coincidence, but I'll take it until it's sorted out for real.
Did you restart your PC? Maybe the solution really was to turn your PC off and on again
|OT| Batman, The Capped Crusader - Save your cash for a rainy day
do you guys really think a patch for the game will be released this week giving the childish response we got from them in the forums? i mean, the fact they are saying that optimal settings are to play the game at current generation of consoles level is just incredibly stupid, i don't think i purchased an almost $700 dollars card to play at those levels of fidelity because we ain't even getting those levels of fidelity, if i have to guess this will never be fixed properly, the game will probably receive 2 patches and that's that, you only have to look at MK:X to have an example

Not that it would make a difference.
Not defending them in anyway cause the status of this game is appalling. But recommend gpu is a 760 and 7950 I believe not 700 dollar cards. They havent released settings fo rultra specs which "should" give us quality above consoles. Prob cause they cant get it to run themselves lol.

Even my humble rig with a 280x and an FX6300 does better than the consoles in every game I've tried so far :lol.
Just wanted to say that while I can get the game to run at a pretty decent framerate, the aliasing is down right distracting at times. I don't care how many Nvidia Gameworks features they add, the entire games image quality suffers due to the aliasing. And why in the hell in 2015 are my only options on/off?
i have a 980ti and the game runs like shit, even if i put everything on im still missing AO and rain shaders, don't think that a high end card is having a great time with this game and if i wanted to run the game at a 30 frames lock i would have gotten the ps4 version, i mean, there's just no excuse for this, i would have rather they delayed the game a month for PC like they did with B:AC and we could have probably gotten a better performing game without missing effect that the other platforms have
no in this one im afraid
I have the same issue. All other games look great, but AK looks washed out on my TV. Tried changing brightness and such without much success. I do believe it's lack of AO that's producing the washed out image. The game was designed to use AO by default so this bug gives us an image quality not intended by the designers.
I strongly hope that from PS4 they've dumbed down also AI, timings and other combat fundamentals and we can expect a patch for these aspects:

Whoa, that's pretty messed up. I just played that part last night and the AI was very sensitive there - nothing like that video. Very odd.

I might break and buy the game on PS4. I'm mad I wasted 54 bucks. Now I'll have to go out and spend that money again and not even be able to get the season pass smh

You don't have to. You're essentially rewarding them for screwing you over if you buy it twice. Wait for a used copy and sell it back after if you must.
My 280X is now a minimum spec GPU, dear lord! I better tell The Witcher 3 to start running like ass then.
That's a given when a 980 can't do it :lol
Edit: I like how only Min specs even lists an AMD GPU.

Thanks GAF. I've had more enjoyment from this thread so far than with my time playing the game on PC.
I would be seeking a refund but somehow I've already played for 2.9 hours according to Steam. I'm sure most of that time was running benchmarks and testing out different settings etc..
Damn it

You can still get a refund if you're over the 2 hour limit.

Two hour limit is just for unconditional easy refund. Ask for a refund due to major technical difficulties that make it impossible to play the game and you may still get your money back.
