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

Heard it was Iron Galaxy Studios.
"our external PC development partner" pretty much say that Iron Galaxy is indeed the one doing the port.
still this is WB's fault, letting a studio with no track record on PC like Iron Galaxy porting your biggest release of the year instead of doing it in house and why relenting completely broken.

That's fair enough. No game can appeal to everyone. My point was that you'll find stuff to play that will amaze you. Your purchase was not a waste

Is the Harley Quinn pre-order DLC showing up for anyone? Under the DLC tab I only have 52 Skins pack, no Harley Quinn.

"some issues are reporting issues" = everyone is fucked but not everyone has said something
classic dark lord doublespeak
Yeah, you're better off using Nvidia's FXAA on the control panel and turning the in-game AA off. Also turn on AF to X16 while you're there.
The frame times and frame variance in this game is unbelievable. The only difference that I can see from this game and AO is some of the materials shaders, but that's it. The cost of which appears to be 30 FPS and a ton of frame variance. It's like they didn't even bother optimizing at all.
The game is playable for me, but jeebus, my frame rate can go from 58 FPS in a bulding to 35 FPS LOOKING AT A BARE WALL to 50 FPS in another room in the same building.
The app is still private.
Edit: Oh, wait, no it's not. It's there for me.
If you enable the developer console on Steam (add -dev to the shortcut's target line) and type in licences_for_app 208650, what does the console spit out?

Ill go back to Killing Floor 2 for now. Got it the other day and outside the occasional crash, it runs beautifully. In fucking early access.
You were supposed to be the good one rocksteady. I dont care if someone else ported it.

Yup. I pre-ordered cheap though and a while back and also it slipped my mind it was WB. Then when I remembered I rationalised it as being one of the bigger games from them so of course it'd be good, the past ones worked (on a performance level).
I just wanted to enjoy a pretty Batman game ;_;
Maybe by the time I finish the download (throttling it because I'm playing mah Final Fantasy XIVs) everything will be fixed!
If they are so serious about it, why take peoples money when they know their product doesnt perform correctly/to standard?

Its WB , I really think they don't give a fuck about their PC ports , I mean seriously who rushes out a AAA PC game with 5 graphical options and 30FPS lock and calls it day.
Faceworks got cancelled , I read it in the Nvidia Drivers Comment Section . Andy Confirmed it.

I'm a big Batman fan and was going to buy this yesterday, but after hearing all the problems (and being an AMD user) I'm glad I didn't.
I might get the GOTY edition down the line, seems like the best option for me.

Did you preorder on steam or elsewhere?

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Yup, completely agreed. I write PR statements like this all day long - this is a clear attempt at outlining that "it's out of their hands" and/or "not their fault," .. but that they're still going to figure out what is wrong to help all of us out.

OK you cunts who coded this game. I paid for your shit, I am trying to enjoy it, but this is the third time within 40 minutes that this happens:
Moving over to the PS4 version until you fix your shit.
My PS4 version won't arrive for another couple of days at least ):
Well of course your PC crashed, it was trying to access the July 2012 build and the temporal protections kicked in.
Their PC development partner apparently has no QA skills.
My PC did not crash, my PC is steady as fuck. It's the game that is shabby, FFVIII train model level of shabby.

Sli isn't working for the game. Anyone using 2 cards should be using the second card as a dedicated physx card until it gets fixed.

Did you modify your BMSystemSettings.ini?
Yeah, but you cant say WB and Rocksteady didnt even play the PC version themselves. The blame is on all of them.
You need a separate key for that DLC.

So since they said it was an external partner that means it wasn't rocksteady who did the pc version.

Yeahh the blame definitely lies with the publisher in this case

No I'm serious, I think it's the grain filter, everything looks super washed out, very different from arkham origins. I think I'll take screenshots later today when I get home and post them in this topic.

2012 build?!?!

Oh dear...
Yeah, people claiming that this is a match for The Witcher 3 visually are f*cking nuts. Also, it makes me wonder about all those previews that said that the PS4 version looked incredible. It's like, did anyone not play the previous Batman games maxed out on PC? They really, really look pretty close to this (minus the vastly improved character models for the main guys, not so much the NPCs).

I wish these developers would do the PC port in house. I'm tired of these external teams pumping out garbage.

Ok, wanted to play that yesterday but download was slow and had work this morning, finally getting my hands on this and the fucking controller (Xbox One) won't work, it's like it's not even there.
Anyone else getting this? And why the fuck am I getting playstation icons in the controller setup land intro menu ol, is this a PS4 port or what?

fuck me, i broke my no preorder rule because i didnt wanna pass up the price on nuuvem and now im seriously regretting it. wish we could get some answers on why this has been happing so much lately. is it a coincidence that most game works games release in a terrible state? Watch dogs, far cry 4, unity, this game, and who knows what others.

Did you buy from GMG? I only got sent one key and had to send a support ticket. They sent me my second key this morning and now I have it.
However i'm not playing it because the game performance sucks
This.
Ultimately Roksteady and WB know the state of the PC version and ok'd it for release.
Iron Galaxy are maybe shit porters, but its Roksteady's name on the box, the blame lies with them.

I highly doubt that they released an old build.

Thinking they'll be seen to be doing us a favour in the end by fixing it, smh. Don't appreciate being treated like an idiot

Lol I wouldn't read that much into it. Legacy files and code that sticks around without getting renamed. It's a huge project that went through many iterations and passed through a lot of hands. Sometimes shit just gets so unwieldy that old files and stuff get left in even if they're literally never used, because it's all such a jumble and no one person knows where every file is and what it's all used for. In this case, my first assumption would be that one of the files that is still in use was created in July 2012. It certainly does not mean that the whole game is running on some 2012 engine build.

What's the point of adding DRM if you're already using a Steam account? Steam should be enough to protect against piracy, but this is just idiotic.
I hope they patch it out and have everything running well for PC gamers

I wouldn't be surprised if your average journo hadn't played Batman on PC, hence the weird dissonance between what they claimed and what we see here.
This is just sick.

It does explain the 30FPS lock for a modern AAA PC game and the fact that there are only 5 graphical options and Normal Textures.
