It's great
Yeap they won't compensate us for delay. And that is a lot of text that says basically nothing. Oh well.

It says quite a lot and I know you are smart enough to comprehend it. But yes, lets all just blindly dismiss a much needed progress update that is meant to reassure people that fixes are coming in the near future, because we are angry customers and that's what we do.

You think that's mutually exclusive?
Agreed. I wasn't expecting an ETA on the big patch, but knowing that the season pass content release time has been pushed back for PC (as expected) is what I was hoping to learn from an update.

Yup. It also indicates that we might actually get broad ETAs next week and that anyone playing right now expecting a patch in the next few days should probably hold off, or know that they might end up beating the game without the fixes in place.
Given how deep-rooted the issues seemed to be, I'm actually a little surprised that they claim to be close to addressing the major problems.
Also, whoever is running damage control on their side gets my vote of approval. They've handled this disaster quite meticulously in terms of quick decisions, ownership and language. Whether they truly mean it or not is a different matter, but they are at least saying it with the appropriate level of detail and sincerity
Was it at 60fps? I habe yet to try the game with the 60fps fix.

Am I right to assume that the 6 month Season Pass won't officially start until this game is working again?

They will have to run a second QA pass after the fixes are in place, given that the fixes will affect the dlc performance as well. So they have 2 choices, neither of them ideal. Release the dlc to honor the few people who still chose to complete the game on PC, or hold it off, make sure it works well with the fixed version and release it when its ready, so that they don't risk another round of frustration and backlash. Given they have already pulled the game off the shelves, it is the right call imo
*Checks to see if ArKn has been fixed yet.*
"NOPE."
*Leaves thread.*
"See yall same time next week or two."

No I left it at 30.
As expected.
But yeah, it's good to know that they are not doing what they did with Oranges, at least not yet.

Granted, if not for this whole disaster I wouldn't have bought The Witcher 3 on a whim, so I guess I should be thanking WB for basically forcing me to seek out alternative gaming options.

Oh man. I may be LTTP but that GIF is brilliant. I thought it just hadn't buffered.
Did WB release a GIF port on PC??

What I really can't comprehend is that many people on WB's forums are thanking, even praising, the way WB and Rocksteady are handling this.
They release a game they know is broken and are glad to take your $100 for the premium edition. They remove the game from Steam and physical stores. They go basically radio silent for two weeks, and then delay the DLC on the platform, even for people who are playing the game right now (in whatever state it may be). And then, if we're lucky, we're going to get an update on the update in two weeks time.
Yeah, thank you, WB and Rocksteady! Next time, try some vaseline first, though.

i guess i dont understand the point of delaying the dlc. Isnt it being made by a completely different studio? Or is it just that they havent even tested it yet on PC, due to fixing the base game

Come on devs. Sort this game out. I'm fed up hearing how great this game is from my PS4 owning mates at work.

Yeah, they need to fix the base game first.
The internet is full of suck ups.

It's a little harsh but the honesty is refreshing.
ehm, maybe now it's a great port, but at the beginning they also had many game braking bugs:

http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/11/01/fixes-incoming-for-batman-arkham-origins-problems
and myself had to restart the game several time to continue the main story, since a bug stopped the quest triggers from working
and btw (hopefully this won't happen again, but as the past taught us, it will):

There are still game-breaking bugs if you're going for 100%. I was just trying to collect a Riddler trophy since I was next to it in my playthrough last week, and it turned out one of the electric gates that was supposed to deactivate when I broke a terminal didn't and the only way to fix it would be to restart the game.

No, they don't; content and fixes aren't mutually exclusive.

The game can't be purchased anymore. Why would they add more content that can't be purchased?
Yes, I know that season pass owners would be able to get it, but they probably feel like they need to fix the game first to not upset most people. It would only end up making them look bad if they released more content before fixing the game.

Because it's already been purchsed through pre-orders and the season pass is still purchasable on Steam and other outlets, iirc.
They already look bad. Not giving people what they already paid for will be worse for those who want what they paid/can still pay for.

So out of nowhere my brother got the "ArkhamKnight.exe stops working" or something and he can't play it any more. Weird, I've played it for 30 hour and never encountered that problem and my brother already played it for like 5 hours before that problem. He's reinstalling it now to see if it fixes the issue, but it's a weird issue that drops out of nowhere.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Is this supposed to be funny? Fuck that guy. You don't get to make jokes like that after releasing the most broken piece of shit all year.
Edit: Its fake, I redact my rage.

You can not purchase the season pass on Steam or any other outlet.
It's FAKE.
Edit: Typed before your edit.
Yes you can. Just tried adding it to my cart right now. Works fine.
Seems to be delayed with no clear set date yet.

So maybe they'd have fixed them if they actually lost some money - gamers on all formats should stop accepting broken games as the norm.
Or they could have just dumped them and moved on to less ambitious projects.
