Batman AK PC Perf Thread of DARKNESS, NO SETTINGS [30fps cap / intro removal in OP]
- Thread starter Peterthumpa
- Start date
Steam says that the content is still encrypted. I've never seen that with a pre-load before. Is that abnormal?
Btw, Greenman Gaming gave me two Steam keys, the first one activated the game for me and it's not letting me put in the second one because the game isn't out yet. What's the second key for?

Yikes, this sounds like a disaster. At least I havent finished the Witcher yet.
Win 8.1
i5 2500k at 4GHz
8GB RAM
GTX 970 G1 stock
1080p with everything maxed out including Gameworks stuff.
60 FPS when you start playing at the tower but as soon as you start gliding getting weird/random FPS spikes that take the framerate all over the place. Also getting several crashes and seems that the game might have memory leaks according to error messages from Windows. I hope the fix it soon.
On the plus side it seems that 30 FPS lock provides a pretty smooth experience, it doesn't feel as smooth at 60 but it's not jerky as other PC games at 30, I might end up locking it to 30 instead since the random FPS spikes when unlocking the framerate really kill the experience. Also I tried downsampling from 1440p and FPS remained steady at 30 and this game truly benefits from better AA.
As far as the stutter go I haven played enough to notice I was just gliding around the city as soon as you start.
These are just impressions from gliding around as soon as you start playing since the benchmark is shit.
Mine is not working either, same settings.

Man, just got home from Kung-Fu class expecting to be an hour away from some hot 60 FPS Batman goodness on my 970. What a bummer.
Well I have played for about 2 hours now and so far the game is more than playable. In fact everything seems to run fine BUT the batmobile. The batmobile is actually the only time I have ever encountered any significant stuttering but other than that I am getting 60-100fps everywhere else. Like other people were saying I think it has something to do with the streaming of textures. Considering how quickly you move around in the batmobile into new areas I guess it would make sense. Still its not unplayable, just incredibly annoying.

2nd one is the free dlc for preordering maybe?
I suspect the 30fps lock is a bug.
I'm actually getting a rather smooth experience when I disable SLI - mostly 60fps+ all settings on max except Gameworks off flying around the city. I'll see if dedicating one of my GPUs to PhysX and enabling that stuff is possible at a reasonable framerate until SLI is fixed. It's the bat-mobile and diving towards the city that often brings the framerate up and down in wild fluctuations.

Welp, that stops me from getting it on PC =(
From other people it seems like the bat mobile kills fps. I'd be interested to know how it runs for you, our setups are near identical.

For what it's worth, if I were having a smooth experience as of right now, I wouldn't be posting in this thread. I'd be in game.
Things are running great for me. Specs listed in an earlier post. Just trying to figure out the game audio. Seems like it won't do surround sound, at least for me.

should Kepler owners expect a screw up with the latest drivers?

Anybody who pre-ordered through Nuuvem unable to redeem their key on Steam yet? I'm assuming I must wait until midnight, but I was hoping to pre-load.

i5 2500k @4.5ghz
GTX980ti
8GB of RAM
Running at 1080p with all settings maxed out including all of the Gameworks stuff. Played pretty smooth for me. I noticed some dips or stutters while in the Batmobile but they weren't severe at all.
The Performance test netted me an average of 60 (vsync on) with a low of 41. I might try disabling the Gameworks stuff tomorrow when it officially unlocks (VPN worked for me but I wanted to get back to Witcher 3).
One thing though, during the first Batmobile challenge, every time I turned towards one direction of the street - a big orange texture would pop up. It would reach up into the sky. If I drove away from it or towards it, it would start to flash and disappear. Turn the camera and it would reappear. It only happened on that one street corner! The rest of the game ran flawlessly. No clue if anyone else experienced that.
I was worried something was wrong with the vid card but I ran the Witcher 3 without issue afterwards. I have been playing that game for over 70 hours on the card prior without any crashes or problems. I did install the new Batman drivers today though.

Well after a couple hours I have settled on fog and smoke off everything else on. Textures on normal everything else on high. I capped the fps to 30. Lame but constantly dropping from 60 to 35 made the game stutter to much for me. So basically I have a $1500 console lol.

Do you have vsync on? I am no technowizard so I may be barking up the wrong tree but that sounds like it might be a vsync... thing.

What...how did you get two keys. Did you get the special edition, I just got the regular edition.
So yeah.
970 here, 1080p locked at 30 through DXTory.
Everything high and no game works on.
Getting bad spikes down to 25 every minute when walking around.
Driving the batmobile is a constant 22-27 fps stutter fest. Absolutely awful. Does the console stutter this bad when driving?

Well, damn it. If there's one thing I really, really hate it's microstutter. Reading this thread actually makes me regret pre-ordering the game for 30 bucks. Currently rocking an i7-4790K and a single GTX 970 and 8 GB RAM. If the performance is so bad right now, I'll wait until the worst issues are sorted out. Until then I have enough stuff to play. It's pre-loaded, so it's just a matter of time and some work at Rocksteady. 
My specs are the exact same as yours except I have twice the ram; got my copy from ordering my 970.Well, damn it. If there's one thing I really, really hate it's microstutter.

Just got there and I wish I could give you exact numbers but right now not even Fraps is showing for me for whatever reason but yeah the performance is not good, it felt under 30 FPS even but it's the stuttering, freezing and crashing that I can't stand.

Oh god batmobile is the worst. Its boring to use and the frame rate drop makes it horri-bad. I ditch it anytime i can. This game is in desperate need Of a day one patch.
This is pretty random but try playing any other game it works with and leaving it toggled on and then running Batman and see if it starts with it on. Another thing is try launching the game from GeForce Experience instead of from Steam.

I'm not having the extreme stuttering or performance issues others seem to be having.
While the game is far from silky smooth, i get close to 60fps constantly and it plays well. Maybe it's because I'm playing on a big screen and it becomes less noticeable?

A miserable pile of crappy "we're not DRM, we swear" Anti-Tamper system, from the people who brought you SecuROM.

This is nuts - isnt the PS4 version locked 30 at 1080p?

Apparently a DRM scheme with a reputation for performance hits.
How is this even possible? Crazy, especially since the console versions seem to be solid.

Did Nvidia Experience downloaded any optimal settings for the game?

Seems to be running great for me, other than some slowdown here and there for a second or two. Mainly in the Batmobile.
I can. I'm downloading OBS right now.

According to DF, PS4 is rock solid majority of the time. Since it also hates my AMD GPU, I think I'll get the console version. At least I won't feel so bad about waiting for Fury X.

Oh god, Game is shitty right now. I'm not getting any background music and voices are missing.
DRM. Hard to crack so publishers like it, but it supposedly has a measurable performance impact, which obviously paying customers are not too excited about.
