Batman AK PC Perf Thread of DARKNESS, NO SETTINGS [30fps cap / intro removal in OP]

I'm really curious to see what's causing all the variations in experience. so many people having so many issues, and yet there are some like me who have encountered little to no issues. I can't even comprehend how that is.

haha found another bug. When taking Poison Ivy to the police department her clothes physics or whatever freaked out and her boobs started bouncing erratically.

I was fiddling with the settings to try and get a stable playable experience and then I saw the comparisons, no ambient occlusion, missing water effects and all that. Turned off my pc and went to the store. Came home with my ps4 pre-order, so much better, the difference in playability is really noticeable for me.
really, so you payed for the game twice? how's that gonna send a message to this people? just curious

I'd really appreciate it if they could get out in front of this and at least say SOMETHING giving us an ETA of even a LIGHT patch addressing SOME issues. It's obvious that these issues won't get fixed overnight.
 
Started playing the game tonight. It ran fine up until after
The Joker is cremated at the start!
. The performance is horrible for me, constant stuttering. Watch Dogs ran better.

That actually sounds awesome , PhysX working its magic.

The best news I've heard about this game on PC all day.
 
Jesus, PC is seriously missing Bokeh DOF, Rain effects, AO and most likely more?

Think about this, the game runs and looks worse on a GTX970 compared to a console with a cut down 7870.

That's what drives me crazy! A GTX 970 absolutely destroys a 7870 so it shouldn't be running as poorly as it is on PC.

Video capture. Now. If it looks as funny as it sounds like, I think it'll result in some epic gifs. :)

Do you think Nvidia pushed something on them late that the devs couldn't handle right? When games like this run fine on the 7850/7870 equivalent on the PS4 I don't understand why they let Nvidia Gameworks get involved in the first place.

I don't know why people get SLI if they aren't prepared to fiddle.

Nvidia Inspector and start playing around with SLI profiles. Good chance the AO of AC profile works.

Fiddling is what got me into this hobby to begin with, I just don't feel that yields and support warrant the technology.

However, I haven't played Nvidia inspector with this title so i'll do that when I get home from work.

Thanks
 
GMG has All the Arkham games for $5. gonna finally play/complete Origins while I wait for a patch.

About the only positive thing going for me since I've never played the previous entries. Gives me enough time to play through them all as I wait for the patches to come in before I buy Arkham Knight.

We can play the Blame game but now Rocksteady has shifted the Blame to 'External PC Development Team' .

What? No.

I hope that everyone who's buying a console version because their PC version is crap buys it used. Don't reward WB for fucking up.

Unlikely as early on there were more gameworks effects - which people noticed half of them were axed when they started putting out the gameworks vids.

They scaled back from what they had.

Wouldn't count on it. It's the same thing that happened when MKX launched, the comments from Rocksteady are pretty similar to what Netherrealm said when when the PC port of MKX was revealed to be a turd.

Got a statement that they care and they're working on it.

Well after removing all traces of any AMD drivers from my system and reinstalling the CORRECTLY labelled windows 7 beta driver , teh game is somewhat playable ( ie mostly 30 with the occasional dip and stuttering during cut scenes)

Again it might be worth checking for some AMD users who got the patch from the mislabelled part of the AMD site, It doesn't magically fix the game but it gave a significant boost for me.

Just a quick PSA : The AMD Beta drivers were mislabled on some parts of their site

The windows 7 drivers from http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Windows+7+-+64 are actually the Windows 8.1 drivers.

The driver here is the correct one http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/latest-catalyst-windows-beta.aspx

How long did that take to get sorted out (or has it even been fixed at all)?
 
People are actually turning off their PCs for the superior console copy.

This is some kind of bizarro world nightmare.
Lol This whole situation is backwards. Console versions having AO, better effects, better DOF and even though it's running at 30fps its running smoothly.
 
It seems like they put more effort in advertising all the DLC and season pass over the actual game on PC.

Sounds like Evolve , honestly I think anytime a game is willing to tell you it has a ton of DLC Planned . Its a bad sign.

No. I got the game for free with my 980 ti. I had pre-ordered the ps4 version ages ago.

Same situation as me , I refunded my PC version but I ordered my CE PS4 from the US months ago. T_T .

If Skyrim rocket launching giant attacks can be kept as a feature, then so shall this! Well, unless it's really really bad but come on.

I am going to make the prediction that this game is not going to be fixed. The performance problems are too severe, so unless it's a quick fix I don't see them reengineering a game they have already made money from.

I actually cancelled my PS4 preorder today after reading all of this about the PC version. Not supporting the game period until things get sorted.

Did they lock commenting on WB forums or something? There's next to nothing in support questions for AK.
Edit: Nevermind, looks like it's all in the General Discussion.

This is an absolute trainwreck. I wonder if Rocksteady will issue some kind of apology or something to the pc users?

Well, since the pre-order DLC got yanked away from Nvidia code users last second, getting that back would be a nice start for those. A lot of people bought a new hardware specifically based on this game's promises in order to run this mess well, and can't even do that. They have a lot of gall doing that and delivering this.

Honestly , we all could be happy enjoying the game in its full glory .

Instead we are sitting here waiting for patches.

If only they bothered to release a good port.
