Someone in the PC performance thread was running it at 720x480 or something at the lowest settings and still getting stutters.

Is my computer resistant to this plague or something?
I have a 4670k@4.7ghz, 970 medium OC GPU Clock @ +165, Memory Clock at +354. I have the reference model. My game hardly ever drops below 50fps outside of the really intense parts with the Bat Mobile.
No stutters, textures etc all fine. Game looks great.

I believe it. The game has issues. But it seems like a lot of people run into one of those issues, that being that gameworks is fucking busted, and then throw their hands up in disgust. I know I did. Then I turned off gameworks. If it doesn't work, or if they already have it off, great. But if it can get their game to work for them? Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
It might be that you never turned on gameworks. It is off by default, after all.
I haven't even been able to play this since it's reinstalled twice- once after I tried verifying the cache, but one again after simply pausing and resuming the download. I had 20gb downloaded, got home from work and rebooted to find it completely starting over again.
Which is fine, because this game is going to tear the shit out of my GTX 660 anyway. This port seems bad enough that I don't think a rushed patch in the first week could possibly fix it. It would either take a month or two of sustained updates or just entirely fucking starting over with a better developer.

No they are certainly on, I can see all the volumetric fog etc.
The only thing I don't think that's working is the wet textures on my character.
Do you have AO and wet shaders?
Aztechnology

No seems both of those are not working. But I'm not getting any sort of stuttering. So... there's that at least.
FYI, the drivers for the GTX 970 limit the vram utilization to 3.5GB unless the game absolutely needs it to store the current frame. I have a 970 and the slowdowns are no where near as bad as that video. Not even close. The game has serious streaming issues and is causing stutters for just about every card out there. The 970 isn't at fault here.

I turned off all Nvidia stuff yesterday but am still getting massive drops

They better give existing season pass owners something extra if they decide to go this path. But with the non-apology replies they are spewing out I doubt this will be the case.

Lucky you! I'm jealous.
Unlucky you. I got nothin, sorry. :\
The were the greatest of its problems for me. With them on, basically any time the batmobile shows up, my video drivers kick the bucket. I just thought my issue may have been the same as theirs, in light of the similarities. For what it's worth, I'm running the game with the latest nvidia drivers on windows 10.

I know you're serious, but I also want to say sorry, not sure why I even posted about my game running like I did. It's was a dick move. I just wanted to provide my settings and setup and let people know it seems to be working with that setup. I didn't mean to come off as being patronizing. However, seeing as I have no AO, and limited Wet Shaders I would still say it's an issue. Hopefully they fix it soon.

This is insane.
I find it real fucking hard to believe that they manage to get it both looking and running better on PC.

Wow... just wow.
"With these settings on Rec Spec AMD GPUs, users can expect some minor texture pops, occasional loading symbols during fast-paced scenarios, and some hitches & stuttering when gliding or driving the Batmobile. To help alleviate this, AMD users using Rec Spec GPU’s should turn Texture Resolution, Shadow Quality, and Level of Detail to Low. We continue to work closely with AMD to resolve these issues as soon as possible; make sure you have the most current drivers and check back here for updates on when the next driver version is available."
Holy shit. This is their advice and exceptations for people at recommended specs, not low? That's absurd.
And apparently yes, they did intentionally ship the game with a 30 FPS cap.

Get fucked:
So, they are saying no one should be trying to play this at 60 FPS, since it requires the .ini file edit.

They outsourced it to save money.
http://www.kitguru.net/gaming/devel...t-pc-port-was-outsourced-to-a-console-studio/
Why didn't they use a small team at Nixxes then? They do good work, while they have quite a few AAA ports they're developing right now they still could have done it.
So bad even the "It's shit" curator is mentioning it: http://store.steampowered.com/curator/6858585-It's-shit/?appid=208650

Batman needed more prep time.
They are too busy porting all AAA titles from Square Enix such as Rise of the Tomb Raider and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided etc.

False advertising. Besides shipping a completely broken game, they have been showing 60FPS video of features that do not exist. And they are still showing it instead of putting up a neon sign saying SORRY, THE MEDIA WE SHOWED BEFORE IS NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF WHAT THE GAME ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE OR PLAYS LIKE. At this point WBG has to give a cash refund to anyone with a proof of purchase, or they are scumbags, plain and simple.

Damn bullshit!
PC has such an advantage over the consoles horsepower wise yet they pull this shit.
Was gonna buy a 980ti, gonna wait it out and see if they fix the PC version and all effects.
If not, PS4 version it is.
BTW who did the PC version of the other Batman games in the past? They all ran great.
Even the benchmark isn't representative and shows much better performance then the actual game gives, to try and fool people into thinking it's running better then it is.
This shit is a joke. If you have the capability, get a refund. Don't buy any future WB games either. My interest in Mad Max has gone to 0.

This is the same team that worked on Origins, the previous ones were Rocksteady themselves AFAIK.

People are seriously saying that it's the 970's VRAM that's to blame in a thread where the technologically inferior PS4 version has been shown to be superior in terms of both graphics and performance?
I never turned on the Nvidia settings or tried getting it to 60fps, still runs like hot garbage on a 970.

This is kinda sad, wouldn't wish to be in the shoes of whoever is in charge of the pc dept.
To release the statement saying that the 30fps is intended, that the laggy streaming of textures is to be expected, and release a settings guide when the 10-12 settings only have 2 options is ridiculously and sadly hilarious.
With no mention of the settings available on console that are absent on pc port

Saw mine reach 3.9GB, It absolutely isn't. This game is just ridiculously memory hungry from likely memory leaks. On my last check it wanted almost a 12GB total memory commitment with my 8GB of RAM and a 8GB page file. If I didn't have my PF and swap on my SSD it'd probably been a stuttering hell.
