Slow texture streaming. Sit around long enough and it loads.
Reminds me of Rage, where turning too quickly showed off all the ugly textures.

I think that JULY 2012 refers to another framework, not the game engine. The sound plugins maybe?

That's always the worst thing about a shitty port. Knowing the developer really couldn't give two shits because they're swimming in console cash.
That's why PC gaming is always up against it.
That's the build name. The last modified date is 18/06/2015.

Of course it's not some random build from three years ago. The game wasn't even remotely complete three years ago. It's not like they've just been polishing the frame-rate since 2012. They wouldn't have even had final dev kits for PS4/XBO in July 2012.
I'm kinda leaning towards 2012 being the year they started modifying UE3 for the games needs, it's most likely some legacy error message from UE3 or something. Makes sense timeline-wise seeing as Arkham City was out the year Before
.Fuck man, they should have just waited a while and got the game running on UE4, dat beastly engine.
Yeah I came to that conclusion too after turning my outrage off for a moment and using my brain :lol

If that were true, I'd expect the game to be nowhere near content complete.
Dude, come on, think a little. 3 years ago they wouldn't have had all the story missions completed and the game would be running A LOT worse since optimisation happens in the last few months of dev time.
Like, that's not even anywhere close to being a possibility. Do you know what a AAA game would like like a quarter of the way into its development? Not like this, even with all the issues.

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 ):
They screw you over and you pay them twice??

Someone earlier said Iron Galaxy did the Bioshock Infinte PC port, which was pretty good.

I got it from there, very reliable shop and it even says Harley Quinn pre-order DLC, I'm not sure what is wrong.

AA was the only Batman game I bought near launch on PC, which ran great for me at the time. Purchased Arkham Knight for $34 from GMG last weekend. Pretty sure that since I've redeemed the codes already that I can't get a refund from them but I'll probably try after I can test the game out after work. WB is on a roll this year with their PC ports. At least Witcher 3 was spared.

Someone from Rocksteady had posted a statement about the PC version on WB forums : http://community.wbgames.com/t5/Support-for-PC/PC-Performance-issues-we-hear-you/m-p/571341#M7537

It's funny how Nvidia always seems to pack in games that are completely on fire with their cards. You'd think they'd want to better represent their video cards with things that aren't launching as steaming piles of garbage.
Yeah that makes alot more sense. A 2012 build of the engine or whatever API broke in that error.
I paid them long before I knew about these issues.
Plus I got the PC version for 22 EUR, but even that feels like too much right now.

That's good to hear.
Not sure how Nvidia could have predicted this.
Besides, the goal is to sell cards. And they did that.

would be funny shit if true lolol
So apparently Iron Galaxy is responsible for the PC port to some degree?
Didn't RS do both AA and AC for PC themselves?

Don't pass gaas, it is your Destiny!
As a long time console guy take my opinion worth a grain of salt but after unlocking the frame rate game runs great on my gtx 970. I did install it on a ssd, witch I normally don't. Everything is on save fog turned that off and only running on a 1080p big screen tv.
Can't tell ha if it's constant 60fps but looks great.

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
Ahh cool, well then I'll contact ozgameshop, they are pretty good in customer support, thanks guys.

My Titan X only shows Normal, might be the highest setting?
I just realized I'm going to be extra furious if WB decides to be nice and give us the season pass or something for free as a "We're sorry" like how Ubisoft did with AC Unity. I paid for the pass from GMG and can't get a refund on the main game either.
I've never before wished I went with PS4 but now I'm really wishing it. Not sure about giving WB any more of my money though.

The fact that people are questioning this release to this extent makes me laugh my head off.
Ffs, I should have just got dirt rally and far cry 4 in the steam sale instead.
Never never never preordering again, even if GMG are doing a discount.
"external PC development partner "
Great, thanks for the transparency now.
Maybe this was mentioned earlier but I sure don't remember it.
So yeah, bought a card primarily for this game /nvidia promo.
-Major performance issues
-Lack of clarity on who's developing it
-They yank the pre-order DLC for nividia promos users from the steam sub at the last second before release
-Undisclosed DRM.
All that on top of obnoxious pre-order exclusivity campaigns.
My last two purchases were Ultra SFIV on PS4 and now this. Man, buying games has been so frustrating recently.

It is the highest setting. Go figure.
You could have a four-way SLI orgy in your machine and that setting would still be stuck at NORMAL.

No actually go and play it, my main game runs exactly like that RPS video, but the harley segment ran fucking flawlessly and she's truly awesome.
Should be something to tide you over till this gets fixed...
Hmm. I only get that crash when I disable motion blur but it doesn't even make it to the main menu, with motion blur enabled I don't get any crashes.
Does the Harley Quinn DLC come as part of the Season Pass?
More like only pre-order from Steam.

I want to hear back from these people with low performance after they've unlocked the framerate.
"We are working closely with our external PC development partner" more or less confirms that Iron Galaxy had development duties, as many suspected.
The Harley Quinn DLC was rolled into the game's pre-order subs. I suspect he was given a post-release key.
It will be added later.

I think part of their strategy is to make sure games run like crap on AMD too.
The only Exception in the Next-gen Cycle of Nvidia Approved games I've played is Ground Zeroes , but that game doesn't have GameWorks.

God damn it, Lang.
Pre-order from Steam and enjoy that flexibility of refunding.

Glad I couldn't get this day 1 in the end. Wouldn't have liked the conclusion to one of my favourite franchises to come from last gen's conclusion to be marred like this. This is a joke

Andy, anything from your side? I know that those problems aren't NVIDIA specific, but for sure you had some kind of idea about the performance before this shitstorm?
