They will if they're in America or Europe but not Brazil, Russia, India, China etc.
And those markets are quite important in the PC space now I think.

Has there been any people using SweetFX for the AA?
Their previous ports were pretty good, Bioshock Infinite and Arkham Origins.
I didn't experience any stuttering in TW3 or GTA5, they run super smooth for me. Watch_Dogs was the only one that begun to exhibit that behaviour after the first couple of patches for me.
What is absolutely pathetic is the real metacritic score on the game. Fucking journalists.
If only there were big movement to call them out on this shit. Oh wait, Iron Galaxy/WB is neither a woman or a tiny indie studio. Oh well, I guess they are fine then.

Why would they want to convert people? I'm sure they're enjoying the fat exclusivity checks they're getting from Microsoft and Sony
Yeah, my thoughts exactly. I was surprised to see that they only have 160 employees. That's less than CDPR. People should cut them some slack and focus on the Greater Evil that is WB.
To be honest, everyone is different.
Personally, I can feel fps drops as a slow down and a low consistent frame rate as "laggy" or "uneven/smooth" which in the end cause my head to hurt and/or fatigue. Don't ask me why.
However, in the end consistency 60 or above is better then anything else.

Same, GTA5 was a pleasure even on launch day.

I'm using it but it's barely any help with how jaggy this game is. It still does some work but not enough to alleviate any aliasing issues.
I just got burned this way too.
Do these clowns have any idea why people might buy physical copies when steam exists, perhaps we like not burning through our internet??? But of course we're likely going to get the 30 gig MKX patch treatment as well.
Well I work the night shift today, so now is a good of a time to sleep as any.
I only have stuttering on TW3 if I set everything to ultra with hairworks. GTAV I got stuttering if I went over my VRAM usage on my old GTX 760 2GB, however on my new GTX 970 4GB I cant max out my VRAM usage and it runs smoothly with no stuttering.
With Batman people are getting stuttering even with lowest settings on high end cards. So hopefully this is just a bug with how the game uses VRAM.
I've only had major issues with TW3 out of these 3 games, and only running maxed out at what otherwise was a smooth framerate.
Other people were definitely reporting a lot of stuttering in the TW3 and GTA5 threads though.
Ah, really? I haven't messed around with lower end settings yet.
I did notice that my Titan X was hitting 6GB+ VRAM usage after about an hour of play.

Journalists only had the ps4 versions, what were they supposed to do lol. And to be fair a lot of sites are now reporting on this

SSD and this is my performance:

Perfectly playable IMO, though the Batmobile performance leaves a bit to be desired (it's a tad worse in the video due to recording at the same time). Hopefully they patch it up soon so everyone can experience the game at a somewhat stable 60.
And obviously the cross-marketing potential of Jurassic World. People don't care if it's broken, because it's Early Access and it has fucking Dinosaurs!
Early access or not, player tolerance has a bottom line. I can put up with under-optimized games, but I can't accept any excuse on unplayable one.

Convinced my brother to go PC over PS4. I am awaiting the first "what the hell man" text of the day.
I thought PC games were finally getting the proper attention it deserves, but nope. Super frustrating.

I have the same specs and the game runs well for me too. The extra nvidia effects are turned off though. Maybe the devs had similar hardware and they only optimized it for these specs or whatever. What a shitshow.

The fuck?
Most review outlets are provided the console version for review because it's standardized hardware. Matter of fact, there is no Critic score on Metacritic for the PC version.

How'd you set it up? Did you use the SweetFX + Reshade?

Why isn't MSI Aftetburner + Riva working? :/
They mostly are. Over the last year it was the console versions of games that often shipped with the most issues. PC releases have been great on average. It's these last two WB games that are a real issue.
I think the point is that those could be bugs or issues with particular setups rather than limitations in the engine or game, as many people can play those games without any sort of stuttering.
Whereas with Batman, it seems to be a significantly higher percentage of people experiencing it.

Fuck. Preordered this with GMG's 40% off coupon, and even bought the full edition with the season pass and all DLC. Now I'm shown and told that this shit is pretty much unplayable, and I can't get a refund.
I'll just take my time with Witcher 3 and wait for a patch. I'm not giving them any more money than I already have to buy the PS4 version like I should have.

...I'm running the game fairly smoothly on an i5-3750k, Nvidia 780 OC and 8GB RAM. (Without Gameworks extras) Don't know how, not gonna ask.
I set Max FPS to 120 in the .ini, set the "Mobile" motion-blur to 0.0 (Proper one causes game to crash on start-up) and left in-game V-Sync on. Normal textures, Medium shadows, High detail.
I'm keeping a consistent 60fps and I'll live without the extra bits until a patch arrives.

Do you get 60fps when gliding in the open world or using the batmobile?
Well that's what you believe in and that's completely fine. The important thing is that we don't force our standards onto other people.

I keep hearing people say this game looks amazing despite the performance issues, and it is making me wonder if my copy is busted. I don't mind having to lock the game at 30fps too much, but the entire game is just a blurry mess and looks out of focus to me. I'm playing at 1080p, but none of my other games look this blurry. Anyone else experiencing this or have a fix for it?

Yep, SweetFX + Reshade. Just dropped the 64 bit file and renamed it according to the read me along with all the other files into the Binaries/Win64 folder.

I played yesterday for about 4 hours.

I get about 45 FPS with all settings on normal and gameworks off except rain and light shafts. The benchmark was telling me 54 FPS. It runs okay while in game but framerate fluctuates wildly. On average about 45fps with occasional stutters and dips into the teens.
I'm hoping my 980 Ti will run this better when it comes in today.

On all settings to their max, all gameworks effects on except smoke, I get mostly 60FPS. The framerate dips to the 30s during batmobile at times and random stutters do happen while gliding and such, but overall the experience for me is fine, it never becomes unplayably bad.
Turning off Gameworks settings gives me less stutters, so that might be the way to go if you want more consistent framerates.

Damn, that's a nightmare come true for people with shitty ISP like me.
Why we assume that WB sub-contracted PC port to other team and not Rocksteady doing sub-contracting? E.g. Gearbox sub-contracted a lot of Aliens: Colonial Marines development to other team while GB got funds from SEGA for development, and then GB paid other team.
So I guess I'm asking how we know sub-contracting PC port to other team was WB's and not Rocksteady's decision?

Why are you blaming journalists for a version they didnt play and issues they didnt experience? PS4 was what journalists played...

Thanks. That's what I did. Any chance you share your SweetFX settings for SMAA?
Well is there another way? The files keep failing to validate.

They knew exactly what they're doing, and intentionally released it like this.

From that article...
Was it though? Wasn't it also plagued with a mutlitude of bugs upon launch?
WB owns Rocksteady so there wouldn't have been an injection of cash to redirect. That doesn't mean it wasn't Rocksteady's idea to outsource the port, though.
Thanks. So it's not the OS then. I have no idea why some people don't have the issues. Good for them, though.
Gliding yes, Batmobile is where it dips. 2/3 is still playable though, especially when the 1/3 is the bit I'm trying to spend as little time on as possible.

Same here. Strange thing is, the first time I downloaded it the game weighted 35.6 GB (or something like that, but definitely more than 33.8). What the hell?
I don't really think your GPU is a problem.
I'm running the game on a 7850. I'm at 1920x1080 with AA off (which actually seems to make the game less muddy?), low textures (as opposed to the normal texture, no high settings are available), high shadows and high LOD.
My game often runs at 30fps but stutters like a nightmare.
