That's not what happens when you refund the PC version and go buy the console version.

Refund the PC version and buy the PS4 copy used. Simple.
That could be true. Though in this case it's pretylty obvious that the PC version is a disgusting pile of shit, not that PC gamers aren't willing to pay in general. Can't refund what's not bought.

Ticket sent, thanks for the heads up. Good on GMG for honoring refunds.

If you've already redeemed the key from GMG, you get a nice free copy when they finally get around to releasing a working copy too - nice result!
After running the ingame Benchmark you could think that the game runs fine even on older Hardware (i have avg fps of 56 on a 770). But then you start the game and everything is a mess.

I had horrible LOD issues when I was running the game on Low texture settings/high LOD on my 2GB 960GTX, but when I set textures to normal (despite saying it requires a 3GB graphics card) I rarely had any LOD issues anymore and it still ran around the customary 30FPS most of the time, barring hitches and stuff. It's still janky but it's playable and looks a damn sight better. No ini tweaks.
I see a few people are not-so-subtly hoping that they can have their cake and eat it, too.

Exact same setup here but my monitor is 1440p native. I do believe it is gameworks messing with the frame pacing. If I turn all gameworks off its so much smoother with the 30fps lock in place. Left the AA on and the texture LoD is still an issue for me even with the SSD.

The message is already out there and it's loud and clear, PC gamers demand a better product. It's so clear that they've suspended the sale of this game, something I've never seen done before for a AAA release of this caliber. I'm not going to sit here and worry about how someone interprets my statistic, at the end of the day the PC version is a bad product so I'm getting a refund, the PS4 version by all accounts is a great product and I'm happy to support that.

A few stutters here and there but nothing game breaking, steady 60fps most of the time, batmobile sections can get more stuttery.

It has, and it's disputed whether or not it's true.
I imagine that's the reason they usually don't do refunds if you've received the key. They have no way of taking the game back.
Couldn't GMG contact Steam and revoke your key? They do have your specific key.
i have 16 gb ram too
amd cpu and gpu here, and while i expected the worst the game is running fine for me, 50-60 fps mostly with it going into the 30s during batmobile sequences.
weird. i'm about 3-4 hours in

I get that one crash which gives me the error about the GPU disconnecting followed by a ton of text. Both times I've played. I can't even play this. And SLI is still not working either?
wait a week and see if any patches have happened if not refund and buy the game in the steam Christmas sale if its been fixed?

I love the game, and have almost 200 hours in it, but the game was fucking borked at launch, and even after the day one patch, it needed a few more to get rid of the rampant crashes, and bugs people were experiencing. I do love that they patched it into a lovely state, but damn, I think im done buying games day one.
If even CDPR can't get shit right, I just think these giant AAA games are doomed at launch. They need multiple patches before they're where they need to be.
Yeah, this is what I was thinking too.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
So the game decided not to crash when I Evened the Odds. Using the framerate unlock (and other mentioned tweak) I hover between 40 - 60fps. Nvidia smoke obviously decimates the framerate.
Damn it. I can refund but lose access to a more reasonably-priced Season Pass (Got game and pass for less than the price of PS4 version on Amazon), or keep the PC version and hope the Internet doesn't ruin the game's surprises for me whilst I wait for a fix that I have no timescale on. :/

Unless you got it for a price that likely can't be matched when it relaunches I'd return the game.

I just finished a session expecting the worst, but it's not that bad. Especially considering what I put up with in the past when I had a Crossfire setup. The driving performance is of course terrible, but playable. The on foot action is smooth to the point where I'm not going to spend any more time worrying about it. I'm not going to wait until the fall to play the port, and the PS4 version would not be an upgrade. The PS4 port runs at 30fps and I'm getting more than that on my PC (after the ini tweaks). No crashes, no long hitches or unplayable stutter, or anything else that prevents me from delivering non-fatal ass whippings. I got lucky.

It's sad that people are considering themselves "lucky" being able to play this game at an "ok" performance level at 30fps.

It runs north of 30 (just clarified my post). Otherwise, I wouldn't be playing it. And yes, it's an embarrassment to see such low performance on high end rigs.

So I haven't really been following any of the insanity here, but was there any mention of a fix coming or any ETA on when we can expect something from the devs/nvidia/amd?
I have the game on steam and haven't touched it, don't plan on playing unless this is resolved.
I have 12 days left on the refund, so unless this is fixed I will be asking for my money back.

To clarify: I wasn't picking on you or saying anything about the players themselves.
It's just a sorry state we're all in.

Holy shit, just saw that it was removed to buy from steam. Well damn, think I am just going to Uninstall it and re-download when hopefully everything is sorted out. Sticking with the PS4 version.

So is it possible to get a refund through GMG yet? Should I take steps to do that?
I think I'm going to uninstall this and reinstall Origins instead.

There was a statement that can be summed up in "We´re working on it, it´s all iron galaxies fault, btw. have you tried the settings?"
Then it got pulled. No ETA, nothing.
I was thinking the same thing
This is probably why publishers like WB do this kind of things, cause there a shiton of people that just happy with a subpar product
If wasnt for steam refunds we would be major fucked
Hope this sale suspension doesn't fuck with my play through. I'm 10 hours in haven't ran into any issues at all
I do not believe we have a time frame of when to expect the patch, just that there should be one at some point in time. It's in their best interest to get one out ASAP especially considering it's no longer being sold on Steam until it's fixed. They better not rush it out with issues though or things could get even worse for them.

Just got my refund from GMG
I wonder at what point Rocksteady decided to farm out PC responsability? Or did WB do it after Rocksteady kept delaying game more and more?

Hey there. I used the NVIDIA Shadowplay tech thats built into the drivers/experience app they ship. Its in beta, and probably pings the FPS down a bit, but its pretty seamless!

Man I really need sleep... Also think I need to stay away from the WB Games forums now, too much childish lashing out going on over there and not enough rational people.
What is your page file set at? I haven't played it again since Tuesday night/early Wednesday but if it's under 4GB you're going to run into memory problems with 8GB of RAM and if you're running it off an HDD, especially the same one as the game is on you're probably going to run into the more major stuttering problems.
But yes, memory management is fucked up.
It's not, there's other sources showing the game running on DX11 with Gameworks on. It's a bug in either MSI Afterburner or driver.
It seems like 16GB is enough to mitigate it, before you start playing next time bring up resource manager or task manager or something else that lets you see your system memory usage and look at how much memory it's using.
