No point in playing it for a week or two m8, everyone says dx11 is broken. I would rather wait and play it in its full glory.

Maybe they should have delayed the PC version until next year?, well, if you wanted to play in dx11 :D


PC DirectX 11 Issues Please Read

We have received reports of performance issues from players of Batman: Arkham City on PC. After researching the matter, we found that running the game with DX 11 is causing the performance issues. We’re working on a title update to address this matter and expect to make it available in the near future.

In the meantime, a workaround for this issue is to run the game with DX 9 instead of DX 11. Instructions on how to turn off DX 11 are listed below.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience with your gameplay experience and thank you all for your patience as we work to resolve this issue.

Instructions for changing DX 11 to DX 9

Change both DirectX 11 Features and DirectX 11 Tessellation to OFF.

The Steam store page tell me I already own the game, but I click play now and nothing happens. It's still shaded out in my Steam library list without any options to install or play.

It DX11 is as screwed as they say, I will wait. After all i'm currently playing Dead Island, Skyrim and BF3...although i'd gladly bin them all for a crack at B:AC right now :D

I think i might do the same. I'd been looking forward to Arkham City but Skyrim, BF3 and SWTOR should keep me occupied for a while till they fix it.

Hey

Yeah I heard about the workaround but for me that is not good enough. I have a dx11 card so I want to play a game in dx11 if it supports it lol. Also yeah I would rather every single game was delayed until all bugs were ironed out, far to many coming out right now that need patches on day one. But I have a few to get through so I can stick Batman on my shelf with the rest for a bit anyway.
 
My retail version has not even dispatched yet but this is a joke you would think in 5 weeks Nvidia + Rocksteady could have at least done some QA to ensure it works properly on the Nvidia GPU's :rolleyes:

Either new PC hardware in this day and age is harder to program for then it once was, or companies just really don't care about PC's no more.
 
DX11 does run like a bag of nuts. 6970's in crossfire with 50% usage.

I am usually getting a constant 60FPS but there are places where it starts stuttering and reports as low as 15FPS.

Game looks amazing though. Will be nice when they fix this.

If I remember AA did this as well before the patch, shudder and FPS drop for a bit then it used to shoot back up.

Bit of both but NVidia must have sold a lot of extra GPU's because of the promotion so you would think their 250 engineer QA team would have ensured at least the GTX590/580's could play with no problems @ launch :rolleyes: & Rocksteady have admitted they are a console developer but some of their team are massive PC fans its a slight letdown but many new PC games are getting the same treatment lately :(
