Same and I know it updated but that's what I'm saying, they're awfully "safe" settings. Trilinear filtering? Really? Certain settings probably aren't important which is why they're not listed but it's still odd that some of the graphic settings are missing.When the last 'big' patch hit they updated it that day. My 970 went from being recommended to turn everything on max except for fog effects, to turning everything down and all the nvidia stuff off.
Well in my situation I bought a 980ti earlier than I had planned because a local retailer was running the "buy this video card get the game free promotion" and I was going to buy the game on ps4 anyways so I said fuck it and bought it then. Then like two weeks later they changed the promotion to a free mgsv which apparently runs with no issues but here am I sitting fucked over with a broken game.
Its true I won't be buying a WB title in the future though.
Yeah, they shouldn't have and it's shocking that they did. But they gave everyone who bought from a proper retailer the opportunity to return it for a full refund regardless of how much time they spent on it, they released a patch which fixed most things on mid-high end systems (low end systems are still fucked, probably) and they waited until it was running okay for most people before putting it back on sale. They also apologised multiple times.
If you're unhappy with the way they've handled the situation then just don't buy WB games anymore. Yeah, they'll have lost a lot of goodwill by doing nothing but considering how quickly people jumped on Mad Max when it was reported to be a good port I doubt they're concerned about that.
I think there's a chance that they do give something away and are waiting for the game to be officially available before announcing it, so people aren't rushing to buy keys off of a reseller a day or two before rerelease to get the 'free' stuff.
I believe Ubi did the same with Unity. It was like "if you have played it before midnight yesterday", so people didn't pile in just on account of the bonuses.
I definitely don't plan on spending a dime of my money on anymore WB published games, and I sure as shit won't support Rocksteady from this point forward. They're both to blame in equal measure as far as I'm concerned.

Hi, please explain what Rocksteady has to do with a port they didn't make and didn't have the option of doing so?
You have a lot of faith in the idea that Rocksteady, as an entity belonging to WB, was allowed to disclose or even mention the fact that they weren't doing the PC port before launch. It's not like they specifically mentioned that they WERE doing it and then ended up not doing it.That's exactly why they're at fault. There was no clue that someone else was handling development of the PC version until people started getting the physical PC boxes in their hands the day of/day before launch. So they didn't have the option of doing the PC port? Inform people about it.
People had faith in the PC version of Arkham Knight prior to launch because they had handled the PC versions of Arkham Asylum and Arkham City internally. Arkham Asylum was an amazingly optimized port that ran beautifully. Arkham City, while having a few issues with DX11 renderer, ran just as well as AA in DX9 mode.
I know I made the statement, as well as many others I saw both on GAF and other boards that since it's a Rocksteady game it'll be fine, look at AA and AC. People placed their faith in Rocksteady because of how those ports handled, and then they couldn't even be bothered to announce that they weren't even doing the port for the PC version. I mean, hell, on Day 1 when AK PC launched and people launched the game, there was STILL no sign in the actual game that someone else had ported it. The first three splash screens you saw were Nvidia, Warner Bros and Rocksteady. Not Iron Galaxy.
And hell, when the PC issues came to light the impression I got from Rocksteady from comments made on twitter was they were basically throwing Iron Galaxy under the bus for the entire mess as they weren't responsible for the port.
Sorry, how they acted in regards to the whole thing doesn't sit well with me and makes them equal in blame with Warner Bros as far as I'm concerned. You don't agree? That's fine with me.

Then maybe they should have been a bit smarter in how they acted afterwards and the statements made. The entire treatment of IG came off as sleazy to me.You have a lot of faith in the idea that Rocksteady, as an entity belonging to WB, was allowed to disclose or even mention the fact that they weren't doing the PC port before launch. It's not like they specifically mentioned that they WERE doing it and then ended up not doing it.
It's not Rocksteady's job to "inform people about it," it's WB's. It's not even possible for Rocksteady to speak out of line and tell people that kind of info ahead of when WB wants them to.
Shit on WB all you want for this garbage port, dude, they deserve it, but trying to say Rocksteady had some form of moral obligation to save people from buying it using methods that most likely aren't even impossible can't be described as anything other than stone cold stupid.
Didn't you contact the retailer after the promotion change? Many of us did and got MGSV codes, NewEgg was especially good with giving them out to people who bought a NVIDIA card due to that promotion.
I contacted Amazon and EVGA and they told me too bad essentially. Leaving me with a broken mess.
Amazon gave you nothing? I remember there were a few Gaffers who got a $60 refund from Amazon over the mess.
I got the game with my 980ti. They told me to contact EVGA. EVGA said too bad.
I remember in a Angry Joe interview with RS they said that they would ensure the quality and standards fans come to expect of the PC version. That was a crock of shit. WB and RS are equally at fault. They should have delayed a PC port of they knew there were issues. Rocksteady was comfortable with letting their name be on as developers they can take the blame as equally. I'm not sure how some of you don't understand that. Or would defend them.
I definitely don't plan on spending a dime of my money on anymore WB published games, and I sure as shit won't support Rocksteady from this point forward. They're both to blame in equal measure as far as I'm concerned. If someone wants to gift me a WB game (as was the case with Mad Max) I'll gladly play it, but I personally won't support them with what little spending money I currently have. I mean, this was a company that went out of its way mere hours before AK's launch to make sure Nvidia promo copies wouldn't get the Steam pre-order bonuses when they were all set to prior to that happening. Oh, and the whole "Chipmunk Gate" thing where Nvidia uploaded gameplay at 60fps that was just 30fps footage sped up. No one came out of this looking good.
I don't know, I just expected better from them then a few empty promises and a reminder to buy the Season Pass to get access to all the DLC. I'd like to support further Netherealm games, for instance, because they know how to promote customer loyalty. When Mortal Kombat X on PC released a patch that killed people's save games, those that were affected were given the unlock DLC as a freebie. It was just something small, but it was a nice gesture I thought. However, since their games are published by WB I just don't see me picking them up with my own funds.
This whole debacle was a disappointment from start to finish, and honestly, there wasn't anything they could really do to please everyone about everything. They still seemed to go out of their way to make things worse for themselves on how they did handle it though.
The last big patch actually gave me worse performance. Even in the game's broken state, when running off an SSD I was able to get a locked 30fps at 2880x1620 with everything on/high except the nvidia exclusive effects without stutter on a single OC'd 970.
Now I can't even get a locked 30 at 2560x1440 with the same settings, and it stutters like mad even on the SSD. I've since uninstalled it, just not worth my time and aggravation right now when there's other stuff I need to play.
Considering the publisher decided to farm out the PC development how can you possibly pin this on Rocksteady when they had 0 to do with it?

Nope...sadly.And free season pass - or any other form of compensation to scrape together some goodwill - for early PC owners, right?
... Right??
#1. They work for the publisher. It's WB's responsibility to announce who is working on what, not Rocksteady.
#2. They should have thrown Iron Galaxy under the bus.
Funny then how people knew from Ed Boon that Netherrealm wasn't working on the PC version of MK:X.
Look, maybe you guys should find a new target to white knight. My opinion won't change of the situation, and I'm sure Rocksteady doesn't give a shit what some random person on the internet thinks of them.
I just don't understand how you can not support one of the best developers in the gaming industry over something they had no control over. They didn't owe telling anyone who was working on the PC version.
And on my end I just don't understand how people can defend Rocksteady in this situation. They had no problem putting their name on the final product to the point where Iron Galaxy's logo doesn't even appear when you started the game on PC.
For a company that is one of the best in the industry, you'd think they'd make sure that their final entry in the franchise that essentially made them what they are today was up to snuff on all platforms.
LOL. Give me a detailed explanation how exactly they were going to force WB to ensure the PC version was up to snuff?
How about sending some of their engineers over to assist the company that the port was outsourced to? They seemed to have no problem doing it once shit hit the fan and the game got yanked from sale.
I mean, really -- why do you care so much that I won't support Rocksteady from this point forward? I'm sure plenty more people will pick up my slack so far as that's concerned. So I'm being mean to a studio for a reason that matters to no one but myself, boo hoo hoo.
Because your expectations regarding what Rocksteady is actually able to do is completely unrealistic in the corporate business world that has become video games? WB, not Rocksteady paid for Batman AK to be developed and had to sign off on the resources working on the project. They had to give the ok to delay the game the couple times it was delayed, and they were the ones to sign off and pay for where the resources were allocated while the console and PC port were developed. They also were the ones that had to agree to pay for the Rocksteady resources to get involved and fix the PC port.
Rocksteady worked for WB and their hands were tied. Welcome to the real world.

No one is blameless in this debacle, not Rocksteady, Iron Galaxy of WB. WB's fault overall for allowing the situation to happen at all and not just delaying the game again, Iron Galaxy handling the port (albeit probably without a lot of time) and Rocksteady for seemingly missing the original release date.
Is there a patch yet?

I hope those of us who got a NVIdia key are entitled to those things as well. They already went out of their way to screw us out of the Harley Quinn dlc
