I am not optimistic that all that much can be done.
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.
Exactly my scenario. I upgraded for this and I just cancelled my Gamefly subscription and had this at the top with an open spot. I'm expecting to get spoiled before the issues are settled.
My guess?
The console versions were performance budgeted around 1080p/30 with a big unified pool of very, very fast RAM
IG ported it straight over and it probably ran fine on machines with 16Gb+ of RAM and 6Gb+ of VRAM, then proceeded to shit the bed as soon as it hit more average-spec machines during QA

woah thats crazy
maxxed PC settings?
It was buggy mess before the first patch everywhere though. Even journos where commenting on how many times it had crashed on PS4 for them.
I expect it will be fixed but the time frame...I dare not hazard a guess.
Think what is most annoying about this, it's being pushed so hard on the Steam client and GMG, more people are going to mistakenly buy this shitty port.

Star Citizen, Total War: Warhammer...I guess Xcom 2 now.
Other than those titles I was more than happy PC gaming with a 560 + 32 bit Windows. Arkham City gives me an avg. 49 fps at 1600x900 (native monitor resolution).
I keep hearing this generation how console ports run shitty on much better hardware. What's the reasoning for it?
This is probably the first time I actually agree with people saying they should've bought this on PS4. It's pretty bad.
The performance issues are awful, the missing stuff is awful, but both? Both is just a monumental fuckup.
It's ok though, we need to cut them some slack, japanese devs don't know a lot about PC gaming, it's just a late port released on a budget

What I don't understand is that this aint no tin pot company. So far they have done a great job in establishing themselves in the videogame industry coming from nothing really. Top execs would of surely been completely aware of the quality of the PC version and what did they say "fuck it send it out, PC is tertiary anyway compared to consoles, patch it in a couple of weeks"?

Well most 360 fans switch to PS4 this GEN.
But really a troll is a troll, no matter what console the claim to represent

It crashed even after the day zero, and a few other patches. I think it was 1.03 that ended it.
Applesauce
Boom! Bitch-slapped!
A generic PR post 6 hours ago from a community manager on their own forums really doesn't cut it.
Unless they were already aware of the issues and were working on a patch before launch then I doubt we will see anything for a few days.
But honestly, how could they not be aware of the issues at this point given how widespread they are. Multiple news outlets have already had an article referencing how rough the state of the PC version is in, surely we should be hearing something from WB soon regarding a fix.

They don't officially do refunds, however there have been reports of people getting them if they bitched enough.
to be fair Steam just started doing refunds, and have been around way longer than GMG, hopefully stuff like this will get GMG to change their tune.

Can anyone explain this?
When I first ran the game's benchmark this morning with the settings "maxed" (i.e., set to Normal or High), I got an average of above 30fps, but with dips to the mid-20s.
That performance isn't acceptable to me (I prefer smooth framerates to visual fidelity), so I kicked a few things down a notch, but my performance decreased to an average in the mid-20s with a minimum of 20fps.
Why on earth would that be?

Ahh, ok, so you do like other games, so fine decision then.
The reason for the last statement is that it's true. It's just not 100% true. More like 95% true. MOST games look and run better on PC. Period.
SOME games don't look much better, but run better.
And a few games are crap on release - this being probably the worse we've seen this generation (outside maybe Watch Dogs?).
hey had to be aware , they didnt change the minimum specs and throw out a warning to AMD users the night before launch for nothing.
It's sneaky as fuck.

wtf...they purposefully went out of their way to make sure NVidia people didnt get it.
what
the
fuck
'cause this game is fucked?
Are you running in fullscreen with Vsync? I was having varying performance levels no matter what my settings too, but once I went borderless window and turned on in game vsync, everything smoothed out.
And with smoothed out I mean avg 55 FPS, not 22 FPS, BUT occasional stutter that is unbearable on the batmobile and texture pop-in is also still evident as of last night.
What? Link please because that one from earlier that shows all three has the ps4 and Xbox one with AO, better shader resolution and more consistent frame rate.
Unless cotton candy looking smoke that takes 30% of your frame rate away, matters more...

Agreed.
Putting the game down and waiting to finish Witcher 3. I got about another 100hrs on that game anyway. Fuck this shit. I can't believe there is no CRUCIAL ambient occlusion!!
Guess most of us share the same opinion on that question
Yeah I have no idea how long it's gonna take, I'm waiting for the GOTY edition anyway since I'm traveling until October and I don't want to wait for DLC.
So pretty much the same as me except the timeframe. How bad is it at 1440p on a 780ti for you? I think you play at 1440p yes?
Yeah I'm not confident at all, I assume they won't enhance the options or fix the framerate too much.
Same tbh.

They will by the sounds of it:
What will be the source, though? I don't know shit about game development, but if they have the Windows version as base, doesn't that mean they can only match it at best? Perhaps solve some performance issues, but still pretty much the same game?

My 980ti, a nearly 6 TF GPU, is missing features the Xbox Ones 1.3 TF GPU has like AO.
What a fucking disgrace. Absolutely shameful

Wow that's terrible. It's like they really went out of their way to make this a bad experience for pc players.
The game has some set of memory leak. If I keep running the benchmark the performance keeps going down on each run until I reboot. Changing the graphics settings doesn't even effect performance.
Me too, but... Yenn keeps on nagging meee!! Woman, I'll wear whateva I want!

It looks sharper and more detailed. Thats what I noticed

top cake Mr. Sefton.
I'm pretty sure majority of the PC players are reporting performance issues, nice euphemism.
I wonder if Dave Lang really did change his cell number.
