Just called The Hut - they don't have the stock to fill my preorder (placed on the 10th of October) They should have it "soon"

Spudbynight if you are still reading this did you get your order picked by thehut?

Mine says still awaiting stock pick even though the Game and Blu-Ray items both say in stock.....

Tiny bit shabby this considering I ordered ages ago. Shame really as they managed to get Skyrim to me bang on time :(
 
hey guys ive entered the redeem code to get the robin character unlocked, is it for the challenge maps only ? i still dont see him there, do i have to finish the game to access him ? i only see catwoman and batman as playable characters

Have played with both DX9 and DX11, my system will run DX11 with micro-stutters here and there. The graphical difference is minimal, trust me and everyone else on the net on this one :D

But in the words of Spinal Tap....."These go up to 11".......and I want my DX11 game turned up to 11.....otherwise, whats the point of the wait? :D

Crashes whenever I try to enter the court house near the start. Will wait for the inevitable patch.

Something to do with Virtu, either the different audio path or it getting it's knickers in a twist with respect to display devices. It works okay if I disable that, plug a cable into the NVIDIA card and set that to primary.
 
Just had a play in DX9 mode, sooo much smoother, ran the benchmark and got an average of about 120 and minimum of 53. It does look a bit worse (still looks amazing, just not quite as good) but the gameplay is so good i can cope untill it gets patched.

or you upgrade? is the performance that bad as to be seen as the software's fault?

Yes....see my specs a few posts up (Post # 594) ^^^^ + many other people running monster SLi set ups.

The DX11 game code is simply horrendous.

As a reference p[oint, consider this:

- My Overclocked, watercooled GTX 480's in SLi bench pretty much identically to a stock speed GTX 590.
- A GTX 590 wil run DX11 games such as Crysis2, Dirt 3 and BF3 with 3 X 24" Monitors in 3D with pretty much max settings.
- I'm running a single 24" at 1920 X 1200 and performance turns into a powerpoint slide show as soon as DX11 smoke etc are rendered. :D

Mmmmm performance is a bit up and down.

i7 920 @ 3.8ghz, 6GB Ram and 2 1GB GTX 560's @ 905Mhz in SLI at 1920x1200. Latest official driver and also updated the PhysX software and DX9 mode

The difference between running SLI and one running the game and one dedicated to PhysX is zero.

GPU usuage in SLI never gets above 50% on either card.

GPU usuage with one card dedicated to PhysX means the PhysX card is running a zero GPU usage most of the time and even in heavy PhysX situations is barely rises above 25%

I moved the game to run on my SSD to try and easy the awful stuttering during auto saves and other times the game accesses the HDD.

The game needs a patch and/or a better driver support.
