Batman Arkham Knight - Official Thread!

It's a UE3 sodding engine game if I am correct? Why the hell are devs shoving 30fps locks down your throats? If it can be unlocked the game will probably still run with an inconsistent frame rate I'd guess?

Hmm, my key from CDKeys also does not appear to have given the Harley Quinn content. To the internets!

Same here, looks like the Premium Edition does not get it, says INCLUDES: Main Game + Season Pass but just the game says INCLUDES: Harley Quinn DLC.

Season pass owners will eventually get all the DLC but some store specific pre-order bonuses will come later for season pass holders.

Looking on reddit this games launched so badly optimized.

Don't waste your breath; it's only going to get worse, just like the state of ridiculous exclusivity deals and siphoning off half the content as DLC... £29.99 the season pass is for this game... £29.99... and the saddest thing is I bet tens of thousands of people bought it

Yep, people give EA lot a of grief for DLC but WB really are the worst of the bunch for stripping content out of games and selling it as DLC, the overpriced "ultimate edition" (which can had cheap from key sites) is what the game should have been in the first place at a cheaper price, no doubt there will be more content that was stripped out that will be sold separately down the road.

The game runs like crap btw.

EDIT: and its locked to 30fps in 2015 which can be edited then runs even worse.

Hmm worried that my R9 290 (non-x) will struggle with this now.

Only game @ 1080p

My 290 in crossfire aint doing well with this game.

Makes you think what the devs were doing. This game is UE3 (modified), years old engine and the game cant run properly yet UE4 is here.

I never had problems with Shadows of Mordor and its the same engine.

Thanks for being beta testers for this :-)

I will get it when its cheaper and most of the issues have been sorted out.

so downloaded 33.8gb of files, 4000 missing files then it proceeds to start all over again yet again a broken game at launch

Sounds like the same bug I had last night! I got mad and went to bed lol.

James J · 23 Jun 2015 at 09:21

One to avoid then.

Grey M@a · 23 Jun 2015 at 09:21

From reading a few posts in here and seeing some high end cards struggling at 1080p, I am guessing my 7870 2GB Black Edition will barely run this xD

I am guessing a new card in the near future then.

The latest AMD drivers don't support crossfire in AK if you haven't noticed...

I've got a 7850 (but pretty overclocked) and I'm debating whether or not I can even be bothered to download a torrent just yet to test it out

Obviously you don't see the 7xxx series much in benches anymore, so it's hard to tell otherwise.

I think I'm just going to wait it out for a bit. I was hoping there would be some graphics setting hidden away secretly in the .ini files that would dramatically improve performance (seeing as the game does have a lot of effects, apparently the smoke form the bat mobile causes horrible FPS drops), but it looks like if you try to change anything else apart from FPS, it crashes.

savagesam117 · 23 Jun 2015 at 09:25

It's not that bad? I only played a bit last night, saved some woman but it felt really smooth. No juddering, above 60 FPS the whole time. First ti dive played on release without a single problem.

This... give it a few years and pick up whatever the later GOTY / mega-ultimate edition will be for about £5 in a Steam sale, hopefully in a more stable state and at a time when you'll no doubt own a graphics card which easily powers its way past any remaining optimisation issues

Or just wait for whatever the next overloaded hype-train comes barelling down the tracks and jump onto it with your wallets outstretched; that'll really drive home the message to developers

Of course. Goldfish memories, the pre-order or bust crowd.

got everything set to the highest and all of the nvidia gameworks settings on and im getting a constant 30fps at 1440p is there a 30fps cap? as ill be getting a 980ti in abit and would like more than 30fps if im honest

WiZZyWiGG · 23 Jun 2015 at 09:35

Took about 30 mins to decrypt. Then crashed on boot. Verified the files to find them all broken so having to download the whole game again.

I should really stop pre-loading stuff, its almost always quicker to just download it after it has launched

Itchytrigg · 23 Jun 2015 at 09:36

Cdkeys replied saying Harley Quinn is included in the base game. I don't see it anywhere, anyone else or is it now actually available yet?

The game settings .ini file has a line to change the MaxFPS from 30fps, just edit in notepad and save.

What resolution you playing at, also what are the rest of your specs?
