Iron Galaxy is usually pretty decent, I feel porting a game this complex and huge was way too much for them though. They didn't have the experience.

They also did Crimson Dragon fwiw.

 

[Irobot82]

Sigh

Just to clarify that was Arkham City. I am hoping the lazy wall/door/rooftop textures in that game are much better in the new game.

 

[Orin GA]

No doubt this will be fixed later, but Rocksteady games get crossed off my Day 1 purchase list. It's getting pretty short.

 

[Modest Mauser]

Is the Denuvo thing confirmed or just suppositions?

It isn't confirmed.

 

[CadetMahoney]

Anyone who rationalises "it plays pretty smooth with the 30FPS lock on" is a mug.

"It's filmic though. It's fine etc." and my favorite "solid 30fps". They love that word.

I really hate whatever they did for the aliasing in this game.

Even at 4k and AA on. I can still see jaggies.

This helped me quite a bit. Maybe someone else should try it?

 

[jim2point0]

Performance problems can be fixed, but the PC metacritic score is fucked forever. 2 point fucking 2 right now.

 

[Delt31]

You are definitely NOT getting 60fps with that rig.

You probably won't even get a stable 30.

PS4 is the way to go for now. Some day, when it's polished up and you've upgraded, you can pick it up on PC during a Steam sale and enjoy it at a higher frame-rate.

really? 780 and i3570k are OC'd and handle everything else. Assuming it's just not the game being busted, 30 should be no problem. 60 could be a push but maybe on normal settings I would be OK.

 

[Tawney Bomb]

If there is going to be a huge patch, when can we expect it? Even running like crap, I'd like to play it for a few hours. I imagine a few days away?

 

[kenjigreat]

This year I only want to buy Metal Gear Solid V after this , How short is your list?

 

[Whitman's Ghost]

"It's filmic though. It's fine etc." and my favorite "solid 30fps". They love that word.

For what is advancing I want more from my OC'd 970. I'll be first to bit on the 1080 Gigabyte version when it comes. Seriously, though, it might not even do much if this is what we have to put up with for optimization in games.

I think making snap poor reviews isn't the best idea, but on the other hand the Game was released in a questionable state.

 

[Mad Season]

We're aware that some users are reporting performance issues with the PC version of Batman: Arkham Knight. This is something that Rocksteady takes very seriously. We are working closely with our external PC development partner to make sure these issues get resolved as quickly as possible.

There is nothing questionable about it. This version is a piece of shit and deserves bad scores.

I will never learn not to pre-order.

SIGH

Nice idea, I tuned this a little bit

I think its deserved honestly releasing a FULL Price game in such a miserable pathetic state is inexcusable.

 

[Gbraga]

"It's filmic though. It's fine etc." and my favorite "solid 30fps". They love that word.

Will you feel better if I say liquid 30fps?

 

[Poetic.Injustice]

It isn't confirmed.

It is pretty much on other forums.

 

[888]

Im so tired of that also. Making themselves feel better I guess.

 

[Lagamorph]

Are the people who aren't having too many issues running the game from an SSD rather than a HDD?

 

[glaurung]

I am running off an SSD. Performance is fine, but the glitches and crashes are rampant.

darkx10 is a bit like that. i remember he was advising people similar things when battlefield 4 game out, telling people who were getting a couple of dropped frames on a maxed out 1080p PC version to get the flawless PS4 version, despite that having huge framerate issues in multiplayer and running at a uniformly lower spec.

in this case, i think the only think muggier than putting up with a port this bad is giving the publisher an extra 10-15 notes to play it on another platform.

I wasn't having any issues last night and my install was on my SSD.

 

[cheesekao]

Yeah. I mean, everyone should have the same standard as you, right?

Fucking hell. It's fine if you don't find 30fps acceptable but let's not berate people for having different standards.

 

[Angel_DvA]

I bought the PS4 version, fuck you rocksteady and Iron Galaxy.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

Well to make matters worse, I tried the Harley Quinn DLC and it runs great, but get to the second room and I lose complete control of Harley and simply can't move her, just the camera.

Amazing work here.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

This game makes me want to fan myself.

 

[Mad Season]

It seems like I'm the only one not getting into any major issues besides the frame drops when things get crazy in the batmobile but that's to be expected considering how much is going on and the settings im running

I'm fine here too. the batmobile is where it gets sketchy

 

[Soren01]

bebilóide

 

[Gibbo]

I have both the PC and the ps4 version. Played both for 10 minutes. It is quite obvious that the ps4 version looks better. The rain effects look Much better on the ps4

"Fuck you *here's some more money*"

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Running from a normal HDD, no SSD. Had one crash light night, outside of that it's running pretty well for me. Get some stuttering when flying around in the tank, but that's about it.

 

[MisterAnderson]

What PC specs are you running and with what graphics settings?

Edit: It runs pretty good for me and I'm on an HDD.

 

[ScribbleD]

I'm sure their coffers are hurting from you choosing to buy one version over another.

 

[Irobot82]

have you tried slapping on SMAA? I always added that through RadeonPro for all the Akrham games and it would smooth everything out so nicely.

 

[megathor]

30fps isn't acceptable for a 970, let alone a 980+ and anyone who rationalises "it plays pretty smooth with the 30FPS lock on" is a mug.

go get your refunds, give it a one star review and move on with your lives.

The recommended specs for Ultra settings are a 980.

What? Is there some Dark Knight Returns batmobile shenanigans in the game?

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Urgh, I don't know why but my retail PC copy of AK has a slip advertising the season pass but it says "Expires 31/12/2025" there is no code here though to expire.

Are they already saying that DLC for this game will be useless after a cut off date??

 

[Dick Justice]

Go find us the ultra settings and get back to us.

 

[Mass Effect]

Well, this is disappointing. I guess I'll be waiting until this game gets a heavy discount during a Steam sale before I get it. Hopefully it will be fixed by then.

I bought the PS4 version, fuck you rocksteady and Iron Galaxy.

Yeah, fuck those guys! Let's give them our money! That'll show 'em!

 

[BloodR0se]

Are we really at a point where the PC is treated with such malcontent by AAA developers that the PC version of the game can look worse than a version running on a console with a 3 year old GPU?

 

[Peterthumpa]

have you tried slapping on SMAA? I always added that through RadeonPro for all the Akrham games and it would smooth everything out so nicely.

Mind to tell me how? Is it better than forcing FXAA?

 

[Gbraga]

Go find us the ultra settings and get back to us.

You know what? Good point.

Maybe the recommended was for 30fps and the "ultra" for 60?

 

[Doctor Hades]

something just feels off. Aside from the frame rate, textures look really crappy, everything looks like it has a vaseline filter...it definitely looks nothing like the trailers I have seen. I have a 970 and it looks worse than screenshots and videos i have seen from the ps4 version. I wish I could take screenshots of what I am seeing, but printscrn pauses the game for some reason, and F12 isnt working for steam screenshots.

Its all just...odd. I am standing next to a brick wall and it just looks all blotchy and gross.

Is that the wall near the first side quest to rescue the fire crew and which has a sign on it because I see exactly the same thing? The wall texture looks like something from an N64 game (I kid you not) and never fully loads in, even if I wait several minutes.

I thought it might have been because I had edited the MaxFPS=30 setting to allow for an uncapped framerate in game but now I am thinking it is likely a bug. When I first played the game post-release for an hour with everything maxed at 1920x1200 and all the GameWorks features on I thought the game looked amazing, albeit the 30 fps framerate (why, oh why?) was a little off-putting and the anti-aliasing is very poor (I am using an i7-4770K, 16 GB, GTX 980 Ti and Windows 8.1 Pro by the way and the v353.30 drivers).. There was minimal stuttering though but the game just did not feel smooth at a locked 30 fps as it does on console (someone explain that to me please?). The game feels much nicer with an above 30 fps but then I get more stuttering, especially when driving the Batmobile at speed. It's like the engine is not optimised to run above 30 fps which is absurd as this is a more advanced iteration of the one that powered the first three Batman Arkham games on PC.

I think you're a bit confused.

BF4 on PS4 is anything but flawless and I've been recommended PC versions of games left and right for a while now. This is one of the first exceptions in a long time.

I did complain about BF4 on the PC at launch, though, as I was using a 580 at the time and was pissed off at how bad performance was. I couldn't get anywhere NEAR a smooth 60fps.

Yeah, fuck those guys! Let's give them our money! That'll show 'em!

Man, I dunno, Rocksteady themselves did a fucking amazing job. The fact that the PC port was farmed out is the issue. Was it Rocksteady's decision? WB's?

 

[Head.spawn]

The Nvidia Enhancements are complete jank in this game, I don't think they are even worth having on.

-Debris... A bunch of crap flying around in a highly exaggerated manner. Performance waster.
-Rain... Slight change. Barely noticeable, performance waster.
-Light-shafts... They look barely better than the cheap Photoshop lens-flare the base game has. If I'm locked at 60fps, the helicopters will drop me down to 50fps with their shitty light rays and it doesn't even look good at all. Performance waster.
-Smoke/Steam... The effect kind of looks alright.. Except it almost looks like a fluid simulation, it's weird and doesn't look well implemented. Performance waste.

I don't get it. Nvidia shitting up the place.
