Batman AK PC Perf Thread of DARKNESS, NO SETTINGS [30fps cap / intro removal in OP]

OK, but ha! That's a different discussion my man. You're all over the place ;-)
Yeah we agree on your point.
You never responded to my assertion that PC gaming is typically NOT like this Batman scenario.
How exactly do you know for a fact that DRM can affect performance? And more specifically, how do you know that this knowledge is applicable to Denuvo.
This is not a matter of trust.
So this is a legit response from WB?
Sure, but it's also not the greatest idea in the world to build a computer around a title that no one has any insight on how it's going to perform or look when it finally releases.

It's too bad this runs as it does. I mean with my rig/GTX 970 it is decent but the slowdown is really annoying, and the game doesn't really look as impressive as I had previously thought. I only got it for $28 bucks, so I'm considering just getting the PS4 version and calling it a day. I mean, the gameplay is fucking fun as hell.
Hope that this at least gets patched a bit, but we'll see...

Yeah I had that issue, seems I was the only one using Bluetooth instead of wired so it didn't work. Someone suggested it didn't work because it was in shared mode or something, but by then I'd given up.
On the performance side I was kinda hoping to wake up to some magical .ini tweaking fix. No such luck

Um, no. Games should be working day 1. Stop defending this bullshit.

Its not Typically like that I agree , there are Assassin Creed Unity/ Watch Dogs , there are also Launches like Grand Theft Auto V. This game falls under the Do not buy its Ubishit Territory.
You can't Generalise , it depends on the development team and the specific game.
Yes. even Origins got issues on release but then fixed later. (it's a good game some think it's better than City)
and even at release Origin port at least got tons of options/settings and wasn't like this.
Shadow of Mordor port (made in-house) was pretty good but Mortal Kombat port (outsourced) was just awful.
Goddamn, that really sucks. If it happens to me, it may actually take long enough for fixes to start coming out lol.I'm not sure, but i started the download yesterday and got to 30gb. Today i tried to resume the download and it started all over again

i think it probably WILL run better........... eventually. Just not right now.
If you are like me and cannot wait to play it then PS4 might be best option, but i repeat MIGHT be the best option for the moment.

Why are you defending this? What possible reason could you have to be on the side of the developer that releases a horrible port of a $60 game?
DS4 Windows atm. Working fine.
Holy shit.

Wouldn't it be something if the DRM was part of the perf hit.
Unbelievably bad port by major AAA standards. I can't get a refund since I got it via 3rd party but this stinks so far.

Holy shit I thought the stuttering I had was bad. Mine's nowhere near as bad as this. That is disgusting.

This is exactly how that cutscene (and many others) ran for me....smh
It is a bummer that this is having issues right now. Had perfect perf on much weaker hardware than I do I now with the last games. On my TriOC290 I just did locked (not a single dip) on AO...it was wonderful.
Cmon Rocksteady get to fixing this!
I already have the Ps4 version too but i would of course rather play this on PC. Especially as I have the premium edition on PC.

Yes they did and Giant bomb, and I believe it was Jeff Gerstmann, said the frame rate in the demo was terrible. Guess they never did fix

The AA is garbage in this game. It seems like all it does is blur the rain.
Edit: I'm also having a hard time seeing the difference between Normal and High LOD, even after zooming in. I think I'm going to go with Normal just for the FPS gain

Yeah i got witcher 3, and yes it looks incredible, and performs great.
But this is the OTHER title that is a dissapointment, just dont find it fun, but thats down to my tastes, not the quality of the game

Here's the original RPS article. "GTX 970 on a quad core 3.5GHz PC with 16GB of RAM, using the latest Nvidia drivers (the ones that have Arkham Knight slapped all over them)" so he should be good to go...theoretically...

Users shouldn't wait to buy a game until it's fixed, devs and publishers should launch the games when they are ready to be sold.
You ask users to wait one week, when you should ask devs and publishers to delay the game one week.
Ugh. I can't even begin to think of something to say.

I'm guessing a lot of people have. Whether Rocksteady responds is a whole other matter. It's 2.30pm over here so if they didn't know before, they definitely know now.

I have a 980 with 4GB of vram...why am I locked to NORMAL textures?

Wow. I thought my stuttering was bad, but compared to that I have an amazing experience. Perhaps it's because I haven't bothered removing the 30 fps limit.
I don't mind 30 fps as long as there is no stuttering, but it's basically unplayable for me as it is now. The game completely freezes at times while driving. I still have plenty left in Witcher 3, so I'll finish that up and hope they patch this game before I'm done.
Also, don't even bother with the interactive smoke. It takes off a good 15 fps on my GTX970, so I doubt it will be worth it on any card.
Yeah, MSI Afterburner was reporting my vram usage as 4,194,304 MB...lol.
I just ran it with the fps unlocked with one of my 980 Ti's @ 1440p on my G-Sync monitor, and the framerate was anywhere from the mid-30's to 110fps. The biggest drop was from 75 to 35fps in the batmobile, and even G-Sync couldn't help this games sorry arse. It's like the game engine just shat itself, it was jerky as hell. I guess it's a streaming issue like Maldo said.
Mind you, it will run at a rock-solid 30fps @ 4K on a single 980 Ti. Too bad it's the year 2015 and a 30fps lock on a PC game is a fucking joke. It still crashes everytime I exit as well. I'm just glad I didn't pay for the fucking thing.
..lmao

YES, its the only Option beside Low.
The Jaggies cannot be fixed , I tried running the game at 4K and AA on. Doesn't work.
Damn, what a mess. Warner should be avoided by EVERY PC player regarding pre-orders or day 0 buy.

If they called it "high" but it was the same would you be happier?
There's only two settings as far as we can tell. Unless there's some huge glitch or something and nobody can get them.

Hmm... I'm using bluetooth. Zakalwe, are you using wired? I'd hate to have to plug this damn thing in all the way across the living room just to be able to use my controller.

What does "Enhanced Rain" even do? I don't notice a difference.
Gotta give the developer credit, at least those GameWorks options are disabled by default for us AMD users. Most developers leave them on only for you to find out the hard way when the game runs at 15 FPS.
As far as I could tell, it seems like there is more rain and the drops are longer.

Wow sounds familiar he he.bought a gpu for this game?
I built a whole PC with this game in mind!!
I saw the trailers last year and thought, "no way in hell my PS4 will run this game at the quality i am seeing, and i NEED this quality in my life, time to jump into PC gaming"
The two games I had in mind when i built my rig have both been dissapointing.
Over £1000 in total for my pc and im using it to play prison architect and winnie the pooh home run derby.
When my lass used to ask "why do you need a pc when you have all the other consoles" i would say "Batman". She is going to have a field day with this awful port.

You are right, maybe not the best idea, but i did it, and now i'm dissapointed.
