Batman AK PC Perf Thread of DARKNESS, NO SETTINGS [30fps cap / intro removal in OP]

I know, that's what surprised me as well. When I woke up this morning I just assumed it was because of my low end card. But then I went online and saw that the game ran poorly for everyone.

Now granted, I did run the game at 720p with everything set to low. But it still sort of works.

720P and LOW!?!

The PS4 Version gets a stable 1080P /30FPS and The missing AO that the PC version doesn't have .

I re-downloaded it tonight and it's actually been mostly fine for me at 1080p, 970 and max 60 FPS. Some big dips when flying around, but mostly pretty good. Definitely a long way from being totally acceptable though.

SSD or HDD?

And did you switch from to the other when re-downloading?

I'm considering moving it to my SSD but before I go about freeing up space I need to know if its worth my time.

I would like to know this as well, same situation.

Its so weird but my setup is running the game perfectly fine, with little to no hitches and the Batmobile zooming by with barely a drop in frames.

Specs:

eVGA GTX 770 4GB
i7 3770k factory clocked
8GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM
Win 8.1

The game is running off a standard 2TB HDD @ 7200RPM. All settings are max except shadows on low and Gameworks are off.

I know people are angry but holy shit at some of these comments :/


Don't give these cunts the time of day, internet gonna be the internet. Not even worth linking too, there's a difference between being justifiably annoyed and just talking shite.

I've been looking at some track records of this Iron Galaxy Studios and I'm seeing BioShock Infinite and Arkham Origins, among others. Both have been great ports in my opinion, but I didn't play them at launch. Did they have issues at launch as well?
 
Not sure if this has been posted, not my image either:

Seriously though, what the hell is wrong with the missing graphical effects on the PC version? A bug or some weird form of parity?
 
Tried playing for a while, but the combination of sluggish framerate and the horrendous motion blur is unbearable. I could do one or the other, but...

Whatever else they do, they need to add an option to turn the blur off.

I knew it , I was wondering why the game felt off on my SLI 980s , even running the game at 4K.

Missing rain textures , AO , what else is missing can anyone confirm?

The game definitely looks better overall on ps4. I've played both and the difference is fairly noticeable.

You have a very similar setup to me (SLI aside), what fps did you get in the benchmarks?
 
After playing more for a while, it's "playable" locked at 30 fps, but the image quality just seems off, textures seem very low and look bad at 4k. Still lots of jaggies too, even with the AA set to "on" lol.

Wow, that's egregious. Seems like a big thing to miss during QA.

I wonder how many pages the first real PC patch changelog will be.

Not only the missing water textures but is it me or is the PC version missing better quality DOF (Bokeh judging by those screenshots)?
 
It's not running as terribly as I feared. Mostly 50-60 fps at 1440p but the fps varies a lot so gsync is a godsend.

Batmobile and speed grapple have the worst frame drops by far though. It's gotta be some kind of streaming-related issue. I can deal with it.

I'm on a GTX 970. I've got everything maxed (what little there is) but AA turned off (1440p is enough for me). Set 16x AF and "prefer max performance" in nvidia control panel just in case. Also disabled my anti-virus just in case that was hurting streaming. Just enabled Gameworks smoke so I wonder how bad the perf hit will be.

Oh and the game crashes on exit so that's cool... lol

On a side note I think the game looks pretty good but the rain while driving the batmobile is excessive. My eyes have a hard time focusing there's so much noise happening on screen.

I think i'm kinda done with SLI in general. Not just because of this game but... it sucks having to wait sometimes weeks just to be able to use your setup to its full potential.

sigh...
 
Looks like it. Also missing AO. In a 2015 game.

lol

Same people who locked the game at 30FPS by Default.

I would be done , but I'm still waiting on a Single GPU card to double my SLI performance - 2way SLI 980s

How do I clean install the AMD driver? Yesterday I had the 15.6 beta and now somehow is reverted back to 15.5. I downloaded and installed the 15.6 again but it still says 15.5 on the software information screen on AMD Catalyst.

From what I have read they only worked on the Steamworks integration for Arkham Origins, and did DLCs for Bioshock 2 + some fixes for the main game. I don't think they did the full ports of those games, or did they?
 
If this shit is legit.......
It's legit. You can see it very clearly in the comparison videos.

Look at the pictures below. You can see that the console versions has the water effect and AO on the back panel of the Batmobile.

Second screenshot shows that the water effect is missing from the cape.

Feels like an entire lighting pass is missing from the PC version.

This port is a fucking disgrace. Anyone that defends it is nothing short of an astroturfer.

God this port is looking more and more like a real shit show. I spent so much time trying to just get playing that I can't even request a refund on the season pass now.

Yup missing bokeh too.

Missing rain/wet effects.
Missing SSAO.
Missing bokeh.
Missing a minimum shred of competence.

Same... I thought the game looked rather underwhelming last night. It's clear that it's just missing a ton of shit now. What the fuck, Dave Lang?

I got this for free from the Nvidia promo, but I'm starting to wonder if I shouldn't get the PS4 version. Sounds like this could take a while to be fixed...
 
The more stuff that's missing the more I think this isn't going to be a quick fix :/

as someone who lived through the Master Chief Collection...man they're still patching that shit six months later

Obviously one off-line game vs 4 single/multiplayer games is different, but with all the fucked up stuff in this game, you already know its not gonna be some quick switch flipping and a hot rescue patch before the weekend.

This is gonna some considerable time.
