Same here. 626 mb patch.
According to the patch notes, this seems to be the patch that they talked about recently.
I won't have time to properly test it out until later tonight though. Good luck to the rest of you.

Whelp. Looks like I'm returning to Arkham tonight to finish up Knightfall.
Finally, downloading!
Let's see how much it really "improved performance on all GPUs".

Well this is a decent start, a whole lot more options.

cant even get past the main menu keeps crashing now
I like that it tells you how much VRAM it's going to use.

New thread for the patch release seems prudent. Someone get on that.

Well initial impressions is that it's better but still pretty dogshit (for me at least). The game takes a full minute or more to start and still doesn't properly close when I quit, have to kill via task manager. With all NVIDIA stuff off but all the other settings turned up I dip down to as low as 33fps in the batmobile, which is better than the 15 before. Gliding around the city, again is much better. With the framerate capped to 90 and vsync off I get as high as 80fps and as low as mid 40's flying around. It also is seemingly pushing my RAM and CPU to near max, while only pushing my GPU to about 45% power.
I've got a 980ti, 17-2600k @ 4.4, 8GB RAM, and Windows 10.
Very curious to see how this patch is for others. It's absolutely made things better, but it's still fairly brutal to play.

Played about 4 mins before crash. Frame rate seems better, but good grief this "interm" patch is coming in hot. Frame rate is capped at 60 on 1080p and dipping into the 40s while gliding around town. Batmobile seems ok from the few moments I was able to try it out before it hard crashed.

Goes without saying but if people were using third party stuff / mods previously you should try disabling them.

Guess I should try the game now that the patch has been released... This should be fun.
Source for what? Avalanche isn't owned by WB unlike Rocksteady, that automatically puts them less under the thumb of WB when it comes to the business side of the studio. I'm not sure if George Miller is in control or what level of control he has of the merchandising rights compared to Warner and admittedly not really sure how much of a hand WB had in the game's development but in the end it's irrelevant since Avalanche, like Monolith which is owned by WB, has a good history with PC games while Rocksteady doesn't have much of one to begin with and Arkham City was unplayable unless you disabled DX11. Whoever decided to outsource the PC version is to blame just as it is with NetherRealm and MKX.
Boycotting Mad Max because of WB and Rocksteady's incompetence is stupid.

Well, started a new game, and...wow, i must say...it's impressive.
Everything maxed at 1080p, gameworks inclusive, with this specs:
4770K non OC
970 Gaming G1
60fps every fucking time, only a little drops when a lot of smoke fills the screen into the 40s or something but it's only in specific moments, overall gameplay feels SO smooth at 60fps.
I also tried it without the smoke, and everything else maxed and activated, average of 70-80 fps...
The options menu says that i'm running more than 4Gb of VRAM but i don't have any slutter moment, nothing...
As i said...very impressive.
BUT it's the beggining of the game, i don't know if there's moments in the game that ruins the performance. And it seems like the rain bug is still there...nothing is perfect but, it's something.

The game runs flawlessly on my system with rock solid 60 FPS at 1080p and everything cranked to max except interactive smoke/fog which requires GPU with 6 GB VRAM (980Ti).

Damn, was it really that hard to release the game on PC early in september at the first place? I mean, we all know (but devs and pubs should know better) PC is not a console and it requires more time to make a proper PC version which will run smooth and without stutter fest. Sure, in this case PC players would have to wait almost 3 months or so for a proper PC release, but in the end result would be a much better product and epic failure could have been avoided but nope, it seems for WB this wasn't an option.

Wow this game is a VRAM hog, My GTX 670 FTW 2GB can only do LOW texture quality if I want to keep usage below 2GB.
The game is true on its warning about stuttering when exceeding vram limits, If I use the settings from the screencap below then the stuttering is virtually gone, but If I try anything higher (even Normal textures) then it's a stuttering mess:

Not even close
getting solid performance, even with settings at 60 FPS and low my 280 is pulling at least a solid 30 all around. Then game crashed. Too bad the game wasn't at this at least at launch. Played for 30 minutes.

Well, it's using less system memory it seems so I guess there's that.
First off Specs:
Intel 4790K
Nvidia GTX 980
16 GB RAM
SSD
Win 10
Gsync (so vsync not needed)
Before the patch I was generally between 30-40 FPS with everything maxed except for the nvidia smoke. I had all of the stuff reported here. Rain effects missing, bad textures, stuttering, and massive frame rate drops for no reason. If I dove as batman while gliding I would drop from 55 fps to the high 30's. I am letting the game run at 90 FPS now and it never goes below 60 FPS for me in the same spots as before with everything maxed except for no Nvidia smoke. Looks like I will be replaying this right away!

770 4GB, getting smooth 30FPS on the highest settings on 1080p with all Nvidia features on except smoke/fog. Going to disable motion blur and chromatic aberration since I hate that shit.
It's a shame that there are still no Anti-Aliasing options, I guess we're stuck with using console settings for now and it might be too time consuming for them to add other options similar to the previous Batman games which had a slew of AA settings.

if you edited any ini files delete them so the game will replace them.
also delete sweetfx/masterfx if you were using anything like that.

I never used any of that. I'm deleting this terrible mess.
Possibly driver related, wait until AMD release another one more optimized for the game.

PC Bros,
At work right now so can't get the new patch or test my self.
What can i expect (in terms of FPS) with 2x780Ti with most stuff at max?

With everything on max except smoke/fog, I never seem to drop below 30 with a 770 4GB. So you should fair far better, what's important is that they managed to fix most of the texture streaming issues that were causing lag and stutter.
If you disable one of your card (SLI is not yet supported but surely you are not surprised by erratic support for SLI/Crossfire) it will run much better but you should be careful with maximum settings, even on a 780ti.
And don't set your texture quality to high.

The new support for SLI doesn't work??!
it was one of the points in their changelog:
Adding support for SLI and Crossfire
Nah no sli support yet

With Interactive Fog ON I get 35-40 FPS when using the car to wheel around and populate the screen with the Fog. 55-60 FPS everywhere else.
Ended up leaving Fog on and locking at 30. I'm a sucker for those Gameworks options.

Don't even expect SLI to be fully working.

Any impressions if 60fps with a 4GB gtx770 are possible (2500k)? Of course I don't care about highest settings ^^
Well, I just played for about two hours on a 970 and it's practically as smooth as 60fps can be in an open-world Unreal Engine 3 game. This is with everything on high except textures on Normal, and the bottom two Nvidia effects on at 1080p. There's always going to be some minor hitching at certain times in UE3 games, but it's a HUGE difference for me from before the patch. It just emphasizes how poorly it was optimized before, though, that I can run it like this on the same exact hardware. You'd think I'd have totally rebuilt my PC or something.

What vsync/frame limiting settings did you use? Only in-game?
