Yeah I've heard about that, I don't think it's isolated as I've seen it on the steam forums too. :/
No problem on my end.
I have the rain problem too, so it is defiantly not a problem on our end but of the game. That makes this port so incredibly bad and weird, two people with exactly the same hardware can get two completely different experiences, it's baffling.

What are the odds that this patch will drop a couple of days before Metal Gear V comes out, and nobody will give a damn any more, if they still do?

Probably end of August for what's being called an interim patch.
In the meantime, check out this screengrab

Unfuckingbelieveable. 11 more days until this "interim" patch drops. If this shit doesn't fucking work by then I will buy MGSV and play that.
Wondering if it will even make August at this point

Dear Batman: Arkham Knight PC community,
The teams have been working hard to address the issues with the PC version of the game. We are happy to confirm that we are now putting the first interim patch into testing. If all goes well, we expect to issue the patch in the next few weeks. We’ll be sure to report back in the next two weeks on how the testing is coming along.
Below are some of the major fixes and improvements you can expect in the upcoming patch:
• Reduced frame rate hitches
• Optimized system memory and VRAM usage
• Improved performance on all GPUs (requires the latest drivers)
o Min Spec AMD GPU is once again the Radeon HD 7870 2GB
• More Robust In-Game Settings, including:
o Added the ability to change settings for Max FPS to 30/60/90
o Added toggles for Motion Blur, Chromatic Aberration, and Film Grain
o Added a “High” Texture Resolution value
o Added Texture Filtering option
o Added an Adaptive V-Sync option (NVIDIA only)
o Added VRAM Usage Meter
o Added Mouse Sensitivity Slider & Mouse Smoothing Option
• Fixed low resolution texture bugs
• Fixed hitches when running on mechanical hard drives (HDD)
While our first priority is fixing the issues listed above, the team is continuing to work on the following:
• Skipping the boot up splash screens
• DLC/Season Pass content
• Additional updates such as Photo Mode
We again thank you for your continued patience as we work on these issues. As always, we are continuing to monitor and listen for any additional issues.

GerAlt-Right. Ciriously.
All of this in the interim... Nice.

You don't get to bring friends.
At least we got a response.

to late in my opinion most of us will be playing MGSV
This looks great, if true. Now time to find me a $15 Steam pamphlet.

Well at least they've finally said something again.
Considering there's only 10/11 days left in this month that "few weeks" means this isn't going to be making it in August.
Is GMG still accepting season pass refunds? On top of this mess they've revealed absolutely nothing worth a total of $40 or even the $24 I spent on it. I should probably do more than just asking them on Twitter.

Normal is PS4 level, right? I'm fine with that if they got it down to 2GB VRAM required and High needing 3GB+.
PS4 textures look really good.

So the patch isn't coming in August, then? One disappointment after another with this game.
They're going to report back in two weeks about how the TESTING IS COMING ALONG. So maybe not even September.

I am skeptical that they're including a new set of textures that are actually superior to the current "normal" setting. In my opinion they're just renaming things while fixing texture-loading bugs, but I'd love to be proven wrong.

It'll be interesting to see how far down total RAM usage is.

For some reason I'm setting my expectations really low. Reduced framerate hitching? Naw bruh, that shit should be eliminated.
Any trust we used to have in WB. But that's probably unfixable.

Good to hear a news update but it's going to take way more than just fixing the game for me to ever consider buying any of their games at launch window or even before GOTY steam sale status.

"Improved" and "Reduced" is not specific enough for me considering how garbage this game runs. That and the fuzzy time frame shit again is just laughable.
electroflame
Member
Well... That makes it useless for trying to run Lightboosted? Can they seriously not go the extra step and provide a 120 and 144hz option? That seems like such an absurd limit
They don't care if you play it. They care if you buy it.

Probably something we can tweak ini wise but we'll see.
eh, but atleast people like you and I who sucked it up don't have to worry about playing it again lol.
Spring-Loaded
Member
Yeah, we'll see. It's something that should be able to be tweaked, just like 980ti and Titan users should've been able to run this game respectably at the very least. Let's not speak too soon with this.
Shame, because it should've been a much better experience than it was. The game is the best Batman simulator, but a lot of cool moments were just marred considerably by the hitching. At least taking screenshots is feasible

Right we know it "should" have been amazing at launch but I'm just saying if they've tested the game and got it to work correctly at 60 and 90hz it seems unlikely that it wouldn't be able to run at 120/144. Implies frame rate independence from game logic. Usually games offer 30/60/unlimited as the framecap options, idk why they wouldn't just offer unlimited here too but hell, if all it takes is an ini tweak I'll be happy with that.
Opinions vary. Still like a 9/10 game for me ignoring technical issues.
The way they offer those options makes me think the framerate needs to be a multiple of 30, since that was the framerate on consoles I believe.
That will be sort of a bummer for the 144hz crowd.

So when people turn it off through ini files and even high end cards cant maintain that fps, WB can just say its not supported.
Before they pulled this game off the market they said even the 30 fps cap shouldn't be messed with.

Fucking comical. Most likely September now? Sigh. Oh and thanks for screwing us 120/144 peeps
on the one side; waiting even more
on the other side; wasnt even expecting a film grain toggle and that makes me happy for real
made it this far already, so, bleh.
