Batman Arkham Knight - Official Thread!


DRM doesn't stop piracy, nothing ever will I doubt, what it does do is it destroys games and for genuine people like us who buy our games suffer because of it. At least with CD Projekt Red they are open and honest, they dont stuff DRM into there games because they know it has a negative effect on performance, if there is one games company everyone should follow it is CD Projekt Red.

Im starting to lose faith in new game releases they all just seem crippled and poor, lots of folk pump hundreds of £'s into worthy gaming machines and yet it's still not enough, as usual the consumer loses out. If games were developed properly I bet hardware going back 4 years ago would still be enough to run games today at 1920x1080 at least.
 
I'm getting fluctuations anywhere from 30-60fps. I found that having Adaptive VSync on seems to bypass the frame lock.

Texture popin is also fairly obvious and the batmobile handles really oddly indeed but apart from that it's acceptable in that it's playable. I expected better though.

Bypass frame lock with adaptive turned on? Are you sure?
 
I must be one of the lucky ones, after disabling SLI and just using a single GTX970 it runs pretty well for me with everything enabled at 1080p. The graphics are decent enough and the rain & smoke effects are very well done.

The gameplay is pretty much unchanged but the story is very very good so far. The batmobile doesn't really add much and they overuse it in my opinion but everything else is basically Arkham City 2.0 which isn't a bad thing.

Coming from The Witcher 3, anything was going to feel a bit of a step down in quality but this is actually a good game even if WB have (once again) treated PC gamers badly.
 
I played about 20 mins, the game looks really good graphically my problem is the frame rate flutters from 25-60 too often and is always towards the lower end in the batmobile.

fx 8120, 8gb ram, r9 290.

While I could manage to play though, I think I'm going to play something else then come back in a week or two to see if they have fixed it.
 
The driving is the worst for stuttering, it "feels" to me like it's loading up textures or something. Same happens if panning the camera round very quickly.

I'm running an r290, I5, 8gb and an SSD. It's super smooth (changed FPS lock to 60) except for these pauses/stutters with driving and actually does look pretty good in my opinion, it's playable if you don't drive around too much (or too fast)

No word from CDKeys since my last query...I strongly suspect I'm not getting that Harley Quinn content
 
Whats the betting that the devs actually optimised this game pretty well but it got messed up once Denuvo got added to it near the end of the dev cycle?

It's possible that is partly to blame for the botched performance (although personally I think that's only half the story) but there are other glaring omissions, the 30fps cap, graphics options and the 'missing' graphical elements as well as no option to adjust mouse sensitivity.

Unlikely, but if that was the case then they are silly for adding DRM at the end without thinking of the performance implications. Even then though it wouldn't account for the severe lack of graphics options, that it's set to 30 FPS max, there no ambient occlusion, textures at average at best and it seems to be missing a few post processing effects.
