The weird thing is that the nVidia driver release claims that there is SLI support for the game.
Around 96% for me.
I can't see how this is the fault of Iron Galaxy.
If they failed in anything it was getting the game ready for the release date today, but ultimately its Rocksteady and WB that decided to release it, they'll have seen the state of the game weeks ago and had ample time to delay it a few weeks if that's what was going to be required.
WB nor Rocksteady haven't even really acknowledged the issues outside a single post by a community manager on their forum.

With that thing being F2P, good luck to Microsoft making money off it if it isn't in tip top state.

Whats wrong with the PC pic? Looks like the others to me just slightly brighter.

Jesus, so it's not even worth pirating?
Man, I guess I'll just tend to my backlog.

You should probably edit that out.
I'm going to tend to my backlog too, I think. Good thing I still have a ton of the Witcher to play.
Look at where surfaces meet, they should cast a shadow. (I.e., back of fridge, bottom of coffee cup, etc.)
I know this post was several pages ago, but had to point out that the initial Steam release of AC was pretty insane, since it had SecuROM+GFWL+Steamworks.
I installed it and played for like 30 mins on my laptop with an i7 3720QM, FirePro M6000 (basically a desktop 7770) and 16GB of RAM.
With no AA or vsync but everything else High (save for textures since Medium is the limit) and on, at 1080 the game hovers around 20 and then (hilariously if using a driver other than the latest beta) tanks when on the Batmobile. At 720 it does stay mostly around 30, and hits around 24 on the Batmobile for that great cinematic experience.
I haven't tried lowering the settings yet, but I'm honestly amazed at how highly inconsistent the game seems to be across configs.

It really is. Between this and Destiny its not beena good PR week at all for the industry
This isn't the first time someone's had to fix High Voltages shit, the japanese dev house Hexadrive had to fix the clusterfuck High Voltage made of the Zone Of The Enders HD Collection. They couldn't even port older games properly.

So Green Man Gaming don't do refunds once you have redeemed a key. I guess I can cross them off my list of retailers in future. Sorry I didn't buy it on Steam now.
I guess it depends on if they accepted the work knowing they would have constrained conditions. There's some responsibility for knowing what they can achieve and in what time.

I hope all these issues get resolved quickly. With the new refund system and the amount of negative reviews on Steam I can only imagine how many have asked for a refund (rightfully so), despite it being a top seller at the moment.
The performance is all over the place. The lack of AO is just baffling.

GTX 770 2GB here, it's not working great for me either.
What's interesting is that for Shadow of Mordor and Witcher 3, I put the res down to "900p" and they ran ~60fps at pretty much max settings, but for this game, it made no difference, neither did 720p, neither did the even lower resolutions. Stuttering and freezing galore.

Take a look at the cup. The shadow is missing, that's why it appears like it is floating in the air. The shadow effect is called Ambient Occlusion.

Threads like this are why me getting rid of my PS4 just for Star Citizen hurts my heart.
We shouldn't be living in world where a GTX 970 with and i5 processor can't run 1080p/60fps for ANY title. Hell, even Star Citizen should be able to give you that.
And people were saying just a year ago that 2GB video cards were fine for the forseable future.
Bullshit. PC starting to piss me off.

Seriously? That's super stupid, that means i had no way of getting it from steam...
Yeah me too. I love their discounts, but I'd much rather have a solid refund policy backing up my purchase.
Here's the problem: no amount of video RAM is going to be enough if it's a shit port.

Wow. My guess is their services are very cheap compared to other vendors.
And what the hell does VRAM have to do with any of that?

LOL. Lord, what a mess.
But you assume "DetectiveGAF" found real and correct link and didn't mistakenly just do false ID in this case. Looking up name of GAF poster through his XBL handle and then matching it with Linkedin worker profile with same name, who just happens to be working in corporation that fucked up this time, may be pure coincidence. Was there any other proof than that name link and assumption based on that?
Posting that kind things can be dangerous when other sites start to pick that stuff up from here and possibly false information starts to spread around. In worst case scenario it could, in this case, cost innocent person his job just because false info spreading and corporation wants to save face.
People in professional positions where they represent corporation like WB should always be mindful when doing statements and posts to public spaces like this, but people doing whole detective thing also should be very sure about their findings before posting publicly.

I go the game free from buying my 970 and still feel jipped.
I would treat this game as really an exception. I'm not sure why you got rid of the PS4 what with they crazy E3 they had, but...
It's understandable in SOME ways for Star Citizen as well. Though, I have my doubts about that game as well.

And I was going to ask if this game supports HBAO+..
'cause of one game?
I guess if you would have kept your PS4, we woudl have herd this little speech oh, about 6 times this gen already.
Trust me, you didn't make a mistake...
Wait, if you did it just for one game, then maybe you did.

Star Citizen should be 1080p / 60fps on a 970? Do you think graphics run on magic?

Iron Galaxy ported Batman Arkham Origins which ran fine so not sure what happened here.
Going borderless helped but ultimately didn't fix all my problems. This is probably the most broken I've bought a PC game on release, pretty disappointed. I doubt they will do anything but I asked GMG for a refund. Even if they give me credit, I'll end up using it because I buy games from those guys all the time.
I have the next 3 days to myself because my wife is gone and I planned to be Batmanning it up. :\
I'm not in the "FUCK ROCKSTEADY" camp so I think I may just go PS4 version for this. At this point fuck 60fps, this feels so broken I doubt I'd get that on my system anyway.

Better it, supports HBAO- Top level technology.
I sort of do too, mostly because if I had known that it would have been this bad, I might have waited to make my build, or at the very least would have put the PS4 version at the top of my Gamefly Q in order to be able to play it on release day. I hate that I'm in this thread instead of the Batman official thread talking about the game.

Now THAT hurts!! Without AO on PC? PS4 > X1 > PC with this port. Holy mother of god.. how could they not put AO in the PC version??

Did High Voltage port the PC version?

Should have delayed the PC version for two weeks if it meant the game would be better. Nice of them to just shit it out without caring this time around.

The game crashed multiple times on me until they fixed it. Just search the internet, and you'll see. CDPR launched a buggy mess.
Iron Galaxy did.

Can amd users turn on gameworks?
I expect some manner of performance improvement, I think the stutter will be fixed for most.
But I expect that they will never include AO, and the Nvidia stuff will always tank frame rate, except maybe for the 900 series cards.
I don't expect this to happen sooner than in 3-6 weeks.
I can't remember the last time a game launched in such a broken state.
I'm sure it will be improved , but I'm not confident in the time frame, especially given rocksteady nor WB have had anything to say about it today.
