Batman Arkham Knight - Official Thread!

Apparently they knew about these PC issues.

The Kotaku article itself has a bit more depth - worth checking out

(swearies in the body of the text, not sure on the current OCUK forum policy on such from legit news sources so won't link directly)

Apparently they knew about these PC issues.

This sort of stuff calls for playing the game after it's been patched but not paying a penny for it. Maybe next time they will think twice about releasing broken games. Unfortunately, it's unlikely to ever happen for as long as we have the bizarre phenomenon of 'preordering'.

Apparently they knew about these PC issues.

Devs and companies treat people like idiots and then wonder why piracy is so widespread Personally, I'd be offended if I bought the game and found it's in such a sorry state.

Don't know what Rocksteady were thinking when they decided to outsource the game to a group of blokes who could probably make a Game Boy game chew up 6 gigs of vram and run at a choppy framerate if they ported it to PC...

I preordered. And am happy with the game. For me it plays very well with little or no slowdown that I've noticed. I uncapped it to 60FPS as well and so far I'm very satisfied with it.

Picked up a key yesterday for £12 and really happy with the game. I've been running on a single GTX Titan at 30fps and I cannot fault it. Numerous combat situations and battlemode sessions - seems fine to me Looking forward to plenty of hours in this game.

anyone care to offer and suggestions not sure if screen res would cause this but i am running that at 2560 x 1440.

any help appreciated

Not many issues on my PC, few frame drops and stutter. Have you any memory hogging programs open?

 

[Superpatsy]

The game itself is a disaster. So much so that it's been pulled from sale on Steam.

I managed to play for 5 minutes before my FPS refused to go above 8!

 

[snips86x]

Can't say I've had an issue personally

Have you removed the FPS cap from the ini file?

 

[agnes]

My 980ti struggled with it in the 15 mins I played. solid 60FPS, but huge drops for a split second here and there. Awful game.

 

[Heisenberg]

Anyone having issues, I would recommend turning off the advanced fog/smoke. It creates a weird random stutter occasionally like Agnes described above. I will disagree with Agnes though as its a fantastic game.

no other program running while attempting to play this game

 

[Josh]

Have a read through the Batman AK thread on here, seems it is plagued with issues.

 

[maj]

Official game thread on here is full of people experiencing the same performance. It is a very badly made console port. A recent patch has fixed some issues but not all. I have a GTX 970 too and get around 30fps with advanced smoke turned off. For the memory issues try adjusting your page file.

 

[CyberCrow]

I get stuttering 90% of the time when taking corners in the batty car

Every thing else runs fine.

 

[Chisharpe]

right this is how i got it to work.

look online how to increase framrate to 120fps. google is your friend
turn off nvidia fog and particles as it makes it use DX10
then turn adaptive vsync to half in nvidia control panel

i know its 30fps but its not butter smooth no hitching at all for me

I'm an arrogant bigot of a man, so honestly, I have no idea how the actual gameplay is, having loved Asylum and City, I imagine this to be great too. However, I lose interest when obvious issues are not addressed.

It's a shame I'm so narrow minded

 

[kinger8938]

just looked past the performance issues and played about an hour or so if that, and i cant stand the batmobile stuff! just feels like its been shoe horned in as this entries new big thing. ruining the feel of the series imo

 

[toon_mad]

I have not read the thread for a while now or looked at comments elsewhere, was wondering if the game is fixed yet or is it still a sorry broken mess?

You planning on buying it? you can have the code from my 980ti if you are.
I've got no interest in this game
