how will the game run for me do you guys think?
Well, 5 hours in with no issues. Hope the game gets patched shortly so everyone can dive in and play. As others have mentioned the DX11 launch of AC was even worse. Have not touched the .ini file settings at all. Also using RivaTuner to enforce a 30 FPS cap there as well.
2500K @ 4.5Ghz
780 GTX SC (3 GB)
16GB RAM
Win 7.1
Latest Nvidia drivers
All main settings maxed @ 1080P, running in full screen mode, and all gameworks options disabled except for enhanced rain. Using in game VSYNC as well.
Only thing I am still working on is figuring out why I can't seem to get the game to output sound in 5.1 - it's only sending 2.1 as best as I can tell. Might just be a setting on my end I need to fix somewhere.

Can I get a refund if I bought through GMG's sale, or am I SoL?
If I can't, then I call bullshit on that 40% off sale. Someone fucking knew and wanted to get as many people as possible to not be able to get refunds.

Well I sure hope you'd get less stuttering while playing at 30fps.

I'm as pissed off about this as anyone but come on now...
And no, no refunds through GMG. I bought the premium edition as well...
FUCK
how will the game run for me do you guys think?
not sure it doesnt say what youir exact gpu is. Also how do you have 10 gb of graphics memory lol
Seriously, the fact that Iron Galaxy did this port should be put into the thread title as a warning to anyone thinking of getting the PC SKU over either console.
What's your OS?
It never improved, but at least people had the option of using the exponentially better D3D9 render path.

Or GMG does sales like this all the time and its nothing out of the ordinary?
Ive put 2 hours in on a 770 and i5 2500k with everything at max and its been fine for me. Benchmark showed anywhere from 25-65 fps, in game havent had an issue yet
Probably a laptop, they count it all together even though it really doesn't work that way.
I want to play more of it, but I'm like ten minutes away from the 2 hour mark in case I decide to get a refund. My performance isn't terrible but the stuttering that happens from time to time drives me insane. Plus I really just don't like the batmobile segments but that isn't a performance issue and just a personal preference.
is that from the benchmark or actually palying. Cause I have titan x sli and i didnt have anything near those frames. What driver ?

Gameworks in this title, worth it or not, and does it cripple your performance?

Aren't Iron Galaxy the ones working on Killer Instinct?
Get a refund. Send a message.
Not like you can't repurchase later at a cheaper price.

Yes, Yes they are
It's working on "season two", not the PC port (as far as we know).

Well at least that one is cross buy I guess..
They did the characters and new modes for season two, don't know if they also will handle the PC port.

I'm very sorry if this has already been answered, but are normal textures their "Ultra" textures? I can't go higher than normal.

Dude... Some of us already bought the complete edition.

Is your 770 2GB? I have a 2GB 770 and I'm so worried that once mine is done unpacking that it's going to run like ass after reading through this thread.

Why? Not everyone is having a bad experience. The game has been fine for me and im enjoying it
Yeah, that's the highest available right now.
Don't know if that's a mistake or intentional.
It's running mostly fine on my setup, but think I might wait a week or two to see if they release any patches. Got plenty of other games to play in the mean time.
There is a good game underneath the mountain of bullshit, so let's hope.

This Graphic Settings menu is embarrassing for AAA PC game in 2015.
Total Biscuit is going to rip this game to shreds if he ends up doing a port report
Well, this is disgusting.
i7-3770K
GTX 980 Ti G1
8 GBs DDR3
Everything at stock clock speeds, updated to the latest drivers (353.3), game keeps crashing on me, Windows tells me to close it otherwise I might lose data because I'm low on memory (task manager only shows me filling up about 6 GBs out of 8), and I get this long string of errors (file not found type) when it inevitably crashes
This is after I removed the 30 FPS cap and happens every time. It crashed before I made any .ini changes as well in the opening gameplay scene. "Normal" textures is the max setting, there are no AA options, and this is trash.

Some options do, enhanced rain and light shafts has really no noticeable drops, but paper and smoke has a major hit.
Most likely he will for such a AAA title.
Can confirm this works for mobile GPU users and anyone else that is unable to start the game in the default fullscreen setting. Geforce Experience, set game to borderless windows and 1080p, and it finally boots up properly.
Try what viveks did:
I'm on windows 10 and tried this but still didn't work

Probably from his RAM, like mine says I have 12GB but thats due to having 16gb of RAM since the GTX 680 only is a 2gb VRAM.

Ok I've played for 2 hours now.
I was not monitoring framerates.
I kept the 30fps cap.
980ti + i5 4670, both stock clocks.
The game is definitely playable. Sometimes it's perfectly smooth (at least, as smooth as 30fps can be), other times it will seem to be suffering from microstuttering, or outright large framedrops. There was one point early on when the game basically paused for 1/4 of a second or something but that seems to have been isolated. I've noticed a few framedrops here and there, usually when you are gliding or driving the batmobile quickly.
I don't think this is AC Unity bad, or at least it feels better to me than that game did on my 970 at launch. But it's still bad. I suspect the 30fps cap is to reduce the subjective severity of the framedrops, going 30-25 instead of going 65-25. This game needs another couple of optimization passes on PC, for sure.

Its a 4GB version. Texture option gives recommended memory so maybe turn that down and youll be fine if you have problems?
Well unless they decided to bear with this for more than two hours they will definitely get a refund and I think if they played a bit more Valve will look at the rating of the community and refund as well.
I'm more concerned about GMG customers tbh. From what I've heard their Customer Support is pretty good, but I don't think they have an automatic solution in place like steam has.

Is ejecting out from the Batmobile into a glide an ability that you need to acquire? Says its AA in the control map but that doesn't do anything.
I only paid 30 for it anyway thanks to some steam wallet money I had but I might wait to see if it gets patched before I request one. I kinda doubt that a patch is going to do much to actually fix the issues it has though.

I will say this, at the capped 30 fps this game feels amazingly smooth, the controls are very responsive. It's probably the smoothest feeling 30 fps game I've played recently, it's pretty clear the game is optimized heavily for this framerate.
So far no more crashes since the one while chatting with Commissioner Gordon, crossing my fingers.
