It'll be both in the same PR statement.
"We're happy to announce Arkham Knight has already sold a billion copies worldwide in 24 hours! We're thrilled people are willingly to blindly put faith into Iron Galaxy's PC ports, and sends a great message to all AAA publishers in the future. Additionally, the season-pass is achieving record sales, showing there's a market for people to pay $40 for content they've only heard brief descriptions for.
Finally, we've heard the complaints about the PC version of Arhkam Knight. Something about a 30fps lock, stuttering like ass, something something Unreal Engine streaming, whatever. We'll have our interns look into that in the weeks and months to come. Right now, our core focus at Rocksteady is getting the season pass DLC skins and race tracks in order for release over the next six months!"
Has there ever been any evidence of Denuvo affecting performance negatively? Too me this just feels like more of a "muh DRM" situation, even though Denuvo isn't even DRM.

Some people are experiencing really bad Hitching , Crashes , Large drops/Unstable Framerate. For those people 30FPS on Consoles doesn't sound bad.
For me The game just runs like shit. I mean how can you drop 20 frames indoors in the same scene and 20 frames when using the Batmobile Afterburner.

The overall backlash from this is incredible.
I really don't see it as that big an issue. There's plenty of recently released AAA games with much larger issues. GTA V was literally unplayable by people with any special characters in their Windows 8.1 username for like a week.
This is a framerate cap that can be easily removed.
Like.
Really?
Edit: Ahh... I see people are having more issues with things beyond the framerate cap. Considering myself lucky then.
With Steam refunds being a thing, they better wait 14 days to bring out the smugness.

Yep.
You can't blame nvidia for this shoddy port though.
Its not better than the ps4 version though. We need a comparison video to make it clear, but from what I'm seeing on YouTube videos the ps4 version seems to look better for some reason.

Guess I can't be that mad myself since the game came free with the video card but god damn this sounds like a total trainwreck of a port

That's kind of interesting. If I recall correctly Origins was, from a performance perspective, pretty fucking great.

Well I've started playing the PS4 version and it's probably how I'm going to end up playing the entire game. 30 FPS lock on PC still results in huge framerate drops all over the place. The PS4 version runs very well and only drops down by a couple FPS under load. What a bummer.
I only heard about the unstable framerate so far but god damn if all of that was reported, congrats Iron Galaxy, congrats.

Calm down, I revised my post. Just got back from work. Wasn't having any problems playing from early launch to actual launch. Came back to see the backlash. Assumed it was regarding the framerate cap because that's the issue people were discussing at the time.
People are claiming that console versions run better, and I already posted on the last page with a GTX 970 sitting at 90fps.

Getting good performance on the in-game benchmark test.
Minimum: 55
Maximum 102
Average: 70
Everything on except NVIDIA Interactive Smoke and Fog.
I have a GTX 970, i5-3570K, 16GB RAM.

yeah, they are a very constructive and well thought out criticism of the issue at hand..

You know I considered myself to be one of those lucky people, my 770 handed the game fine.
Then I got into the Batmobile, oh how my frames dropped!

I was getting results like that too, then when I went into the game, I couldn't get a smooth 60, and the game would drop down to 30-40 when driving.
Having to settle for that is a real shame for that system. I'd argue that is not fine.

I thought it was just me, as seeing Jim Sterling's video he didn't have much jaggies as I had,it is bad.

Borderless windowed gives a smoother 30 FPS experience, but downsampled makes the game not jaggy as fuck.
I was wrong then. I thought the cracks removed Denuvo. I don't think the problematic performance is due to Denuvo though. Like I said before DA:I ran fine and so did LotF after a bit of patching.
Benchmark is useless, doesn't show how game runs unfortunately.

They had to know before launch. The PS4 was the only version they sent to reviewers and hours before release, the minimum specs magically made a significant jump.
Was this apparent in the ps4 version?

Shadow of Mordor and most previous WB published ports have been great.
The locked 30 FPS somehow make the frames drop below 30 FPS. I'm not sure how I can circumvent this issue, even by reducing other settings.

It doesnt.
as far as i know the PS4 version is 30 fps with less effects than the pc version as usual. how on earth the ps4 version runs better ?
What people are pissed off here is problems when you unlock the fps to more than 30 fps. thats when shit hits the fans. At leasts that is what i understood reading this thread
Also, sooner or later an update will come to the pc version along with updated drivers. and the pc version as always will always come on top.

[redacted] Linkedin profile at Iron Galaxy suggest they only handled steamwork integration for AC/AA, but did some coding in AO, which had the best PC performance of the three. According to steam packages, they did work on PC version but it's unclear how much.
I don't think Iron Galaxy is to blame yet.
edit: Don't want people slandering his account on my part.

PS4 version dosn't stutters like hell, for starters.

And the 30fps cap is the culprit.

Avalance will most likely (hopefully) do the port in-house. If Just Cause 2 is anything to go by Mad Max (and Just Cause 3) will both run great on PC
