Benchmark isn't locked to 30 fps, only the story mode. Unfortunately the benchmark also isn't representative of real gameplay, it feels like it belongs to another game to be honest lol.

Hmm, used a VPN to unlock the game and install it. Half way through I got a disk write error on Steam. If I have to download this again

I thought it was Iron Galaxy, but maybe that's been disproven.

What DRM is this using?
I meant to say there is no point in purchasing the game a second time if you already own it on PC, and your PC is able to deliver at least 1080p/30fps.

Soon as I removed the 30fps lock, performance has been great. Pretty much solild 60fps, the only time it drops in when driving the Batmobile. Noticed some stuttering while driving like others have mentioned though it really isn't that bad/noticeable to me. I am using the 350.12 drivers
Everthing is maxed except for the first two NVIDIA options which are greyed out for what ever reason.
1440p
GTX 980 FTW
i7 4790k @ 4.8
16GB ram
vsync on
fullscreen
Also, I was hovering around 4000mb of VRAM and 80-100% GPU usage

Oh ok. Well most people don't seem to have problems with max framerate, but with framerate drops. I can reach 100+ at times, but then it drops down to 42 or even 30 when driving the batmobile.
That's nuts, and you have to risk seeing spoliets to manually edit the file?

Only if you want to rename the video files. The config file is in another folder.

People on the Steam forums seem to be under the impression that there's a day one patch for PC. I highly doubt it, especially considering they can push patches through faster on PC...makes no sense that consoles would have a 3.5GB patch, and nothing for PC (Not referring to the 100mb DLC patch).
Warner Bros are 2/2 with Mortal Kombat and this piece of shit. As a fan / someone who played and finished all of the previous Arkham games, this is a pretty big slap in the face.

Denuvo, apparently. Any type of tech like that results in some kind of overhead depending on the system configuration.
Restart Steam, I just did that and it started unpacking.

it's doing some update for me. whatever it is, it's taking a long time.
EDIT: my bad, it's unpacking.

That's because you're not using the latest drivers. They work if you upgrade. Not that they're worth it, unless you like playing games at 10fps.
Ok, good. I got confused.

Prob the decrypting
Did the same thing, and while the framerate is steady as you say, constant stuttering just kills everything.
No stuttering here with a 30fps cap on my system (5820K, Titan X, SSD, 16GB). Seriously, I'm the first one to complain about even the slightest stutter/frame pacing issue. There was none during the intro sequence. At all.
EDIT: BTW, Steam is downloading a 1.2GB update for AK. Day one patch perhaps?
Hasn't Denuvo been broken, or was that heresay? I would imagine if it's been busted, can't the user bust it and fix the problem? Or is one stuck solely in piracy to get passed that annoying issue?
Blame uninformed shareholders and spineless management.
Of course, no doubts about that. But the matter of fact is the PS4 (and I assume XBO as well), at least according to DF, doesn't have these kind of very frequent frame-drops. I'd happily take 30fps pretty much locked than 60fps with heavy fluctuating to mid-twenties and in several cases even mid-tens or single digits, which is exactly what AK is at this moment.

Havent bought a game that uses it yet and I'm not about to start.
Its safe to say that WB made the DRM decision, just like EA put it in Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Reposting this from the OT. Anyone else on PC not able to look at the DLC? I choose the option in the main menu and it says "must be connected to a Steam account", even though I am logged into Steam.

"Verify integrity of game cache" seems to be totally broken. I just started it for fun and it deleted the whole game. Maybe there is a problem with the preload data? Fortunately I have a very fast internet connection.

It's been going back and forth for me. Sometimes it says 20 minutes, sometimes 8 hours.... with everything I'm reading around, this seems like a shitty launch.
