Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.

treat me well steam servers

Nice. It will be a good day tomorrow with both of these.
 
This is worrying me. Wish someone had a copy so I can decide which version I'm getting...

i do, but i don't have a clue how find out about resolution or fps by just playing it.

anyway, it looks and runs just fine
just like any gameplay video i saw from the ps4 version.
 
Download/install FlyVPN -> connect to one of the free master servers -> connect to a server in Europe (game unlocks in roughly 5.5 hours versus ~10.5 everywhere else) -> restart Steam -> unlock game -> switch to Offline Mode.

Quoting so I can find this later. I think the last time I did a game VPN it was based solely on your directions and suggestions. Thanks bub.

What was the method of checking what version of Batman I have? I know I bought the premium with season pass but it only says "Batman Arkham Knight" on my steam catalog. The store itself says I have the standard one in my library but not the premium.


EDIT: Oh, I did receive two keys. It still shows as standard. Will it show up as premium after its launched at midnight?

Anyone else concerned about pc performance since no ones seems to heard anything about it (apart from amd issues), leaving it late.

What AMD issues ?

The game is Steamworks so no one has played it.

Edit : Lol wtf. This is so much bullshit , a 7950 is now the minimum required card for AMD ?

Not really. It's an UE3.5 game. If you have any sort of contemporary hardware regardless of make, you'll be fine. I imagine these specs are overcompensating like most new games that "require" more power than is actually necessary.

Even then, all their previous games released in very good states on the PC. DX11 mode in AC ran like shit, but DX9 ran very well on Day 1 and I imagine this'll be no different.

It was supposed to unlock 23/06/2015 at 00:01 SGT (Singapore) which was over 2 hours ago yet it still pops up saying too early. Others are complaining now on Twitter to Xbox support.

Ahh. I thought it was a worldwide universal release.

Theoretically, couldn't someone log into VPN now and unlock on Steam if it's out in Singapore now? I want to say I did that with Titanfall/Battlefield 4(which are Origin games). I'd test it, but I'm at work.

Hmm it's still saying 10 hours for me (which is midnight)

It's only unlocking early in Europe. The rest of the world is getting the game five hours thereafter.

Yes, but the game hasn't unlocked anywhere yet. Europe as a whole is getting it first in roughly 4 hours and 40 minutes.

I can't get it to say anything but 10 hours with my VPN. Does Private internet access just not work with steam?

Yeah i know i was using a VPN to try and get it early but it just keeps putting me on the US steam saying 10 hours. Do i have to wait till unlocked, connect to VPN, finish the unpacking then go offline?>

An blind dancing ho
so from some of these reviews it seems like the forced Batmobile is the worst part about the game, oh well. devs should learn to make driving/riding horse..ect as optional as it can be, Witcher 3 did this very well.
 
Hm, my DLC code still doesn't work. The game code redeemed as "Batman Arkham Knight Preorder" so either A.) GMG gave me two codes for the game, B.) the DLC is packaged with the preorder sub or C.) I got a bogus code.

My preload is almost done, so I guess I'll try it again when it's done. For those of you who redeemed both successfully, do you get a DLC box on the game's library entry that has the pre-order DLC? Or is there no way to check if you have the DLC until you boot the game up?

I'd rather not deal with GMG customer service, since they've been terrible in the past, but it seems like I might have to.

EDIT:
It's just the DLC. DLC redemption for preordered games is weird, you might have to re-redeem it after the unlock.
I might end up doing that first, then. Hopefully that works if I can't get it to work beforehand.

Your store region is account-bound now and, by default, set to the region within which you last successfully completed a purchase (you can change regions if the IP you're using is based in a different region -- see the drop-down box on your cart/account history page). If you click this link while logged out you'll see the countdown timer is different.

Edit: To clarify, app runtime rights are still IP-based, not tied to your chosen store region. Just remember to restart Steam after you've connected to a VPN.

Anywhere i can get season pass for cheap? Was able to to get a steam key for $20 but the GMG code doesn't work for the season pass solo.
It does work solo. It didn't work for me the first try either, but I tried again and it knocked it down to $24. Sucks you're going to pay $4 more for than DLC than the game itself.
 
Game unlocks at 4:00PM PDT in various foreign countries on Steam. Using Iceland personally. That's 4 and a half hours from now.

Was gonna post this in the OT, but...
