Is this what people are talking about when they mention the stuttering?
Am I the only one this game is running alright for maybe because I installed it on an SSD?
Witcher 3 runs great on my 280X. Hell it ran better on AMD cards than on Nvidia's own Kepler series cards.
I bet it's a combination of streaming issues and just flat out being a turd port. Could you install it on a regular HDD and see how it affects the game? For science?

Thats what I did.
Nvidia made Hairworks to run like crap on AMD. Its all part of the strategy.

Actually I get an error when I type out the following:
licences_for_app 208650
>>> command not found: licences_for_app
So either I'm doing something wrong or I just need to get a separate key from ozgameshop.
I believe it does.

Who? Are they insiders? Are they speculating?
People need to stop repeating information without explicitly sourcing it. No more "I heard", "someone said" etc. It's important that the information we have is accurate since so many people are just repeating speculation / guesses about reasons why performance is happening, who did what in the development, etc.

Prepare for the Framerate drops.

Most of the issues you're hearing about are from people who haven't tried unlocking the framerate.
Yeah, you won't get 60FPS. I have a 980 and I only get that when indoors.
Not true - game still stutters when streaming the game world regardless. First thing I did was unlock the FPS and it's not steady.
You can make hairworks run fine on AMD GPUs if you tweak the tesselation settings in the drivers without it looking noticably worse. And I was under the impression Nvidia GPUs had specific Components for that kind of stuff that AMD GPUs don't? Someone correct me if I'm wrong and it's just driver level optimizations
I don't think it was because I was given a pre-order Steam code for the game on Sunday but it didn't include the HQ DLC. I have been trying to get the reseller to sort it out today.

Not everyone is having problems so that's kind of a bullshit reply. The only problem i have run into is i drop 10 maybe 12 fps when in the Batmobile but being someone who isn't hung up on the fps thing it doesn't really bother me but other then the batmobile it's literally the only problem i have and it's The Witcher 3 all over again. Half of GAF was losing their shit at "how bad" it was while the other half had no problems.
I acknowledge the game has problems since clearly so many people are having trouble but don't like anyone who isn't having problems is a fucking nutcase or some undercover spy.
With cap unlocked running on a GTX 980, i5-4690k and 8GB of ram maxed out in the limited settings menu (minus the nvidia stuff) @ 1080p i get a solid 60fps outside of the batmobile, like 90% in the batmobile i get 48-55fps.
I think Titanfall had something similar, but the other way around. The cause was that the bigger version had uncompressed audio files to reduce the cpu load while decoding them on the fly.
Maybe that's also the case with Batman.

Didn't know there were just 2 settings...

Of course he did. He probably fired it up to do the performance guide only to be like
Could have at least warned a brother.
Buy it from steam and refund it if the port sucks. Should be simple enough.

I unlocked it to vsync 60fps, I get 60 fps looking around and gliding in some parts, with horrendous amounts of stutter. Then when I get in the batmobile my PC just says fuck it and it drops to below 30.

Hmph... Maybe the secret is Windows 10.
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
Denuvo is surprisingly effective, as far as I can see Lords of the Fallen and Dragon Age Inquisition have yet to be cracked (despite news reports) which is almost unheard of in regards to PC games.

Not an actual authorised reseller. They are probably selling keys coming from the NVIDIA promotion, those got the bonuses pulled.
Conkerkid11

Yet you keep linking me to screencaps of reviews from people complaining about 30fps lock.
Please.
Like texture LoDs?
Probably if your cpu is overclocked to 4.5 or so?
DON'T unlock the fps, just boot into the game, turn all the settings to max including Gameworks and you should be right. The game is already capped(lol) so no need to do anything else.

OGS has a very good reputation as a reseller in Australia. They source their games from the United Kingdom for resale in Australia. I'm not aware of shady activities like reselling promotional keys. Would be quite a surprise.
And stuttering. The stuttering mentioned is the constant drop to single digit frames.

Oh, sorry, it's licenses. Curse my Australian English spelling.
License packageID 71669:
- State : Active( flags 0 ) - Purchased : Sat Jun 20 00:24:22 2015 in "AU", CD Key
- Apps : 208650, 356474, (2 in total)

I have no idea what I'm reading
Unlocking the frame limit doesn't solve frame pacing issue.
10fps? Dude your game runs at ONE THIRD of the intended speed. The Input Delay is 3x higher than intended. I'm not someone who is hung up on framerate, far from it, but most people would consider 10fps literally unplayable.
I would assume that he/she is talking about the apologists and not those who have no trouble with the game. Also, judging from the number of comments, much more than half of the people here have issues with the game.

I read this a while ago , could be wrong. https://steamcommunity.com/app/292030/discussions/0/522729359055831210/?l=english
Starforce still holds the record for conventional DRM, to my knowledge. I doubt Denuvo will beat it.
It put me out of the minimum specs range well after I purchased a non-refundable pre-order.
Shady as fuck especially since they never mentioned that PC development would be handled externally.
I seriously hope that the refund rate on Steam is extremely high and that WB loses a shit ton of money.
They won't.
He never said he dropped from 30 to 10 fps. He might very well be unlocked and dropping from 60 to 50 frames
Well, as far as I can tell my 280X runs about as well as you'd expect a card in that range to do. I looked at some similar Nvidia GPUs in the same performance range and they run the game at similar frames. Always take Steam discussion outrage threads with a pinch of salt

Ok so quoting myself here cause I fixed it but fucking hell this is amateur hour.
Basically having the controller HID activated for my Roccat Tyon mouse (which basically enables the paddle) and the game won't detect my Xbox One controller even if setup to be the controller by default in Windows.
And the game just recognized my mouse as a PS4 gamepad somehow giving me PS4 prompts everywhere...
The only game to ever do this was FFXIII port on pc :/
Did you even read those? There's more to it than that - people mention the stuttering there too and that's happening to me and I have the FPS unlocked.
