Support NeoGAF

[Braag]

Just noticed on Steam there is no big ad for the game anymore. Hilariousness, shit is going down.
Just to clarify, the people who bought it off GMG have to wait for the first patch before we can get a refund?

Yeap.
So the first patch better be fucking good.

 

[derExperte]

Oh? I thought there was a WB guy on Neogaf posting shit earlier though, no?

No.

Yeah, they removed the banner a few hours ago and it has fallen behind CS:GO on the chart.

 

[Lilalaunebaer]

They made a Hitler one too for you old folks

POTATOONE, i can´t breathe lmao.

 

[Vitor711]

That's not true, i check it 1min ago and it looks like the ps4 version on PC. I have the tree and the White leaves on the ground.

My bad - seems like it's a story thing after all. Makes sense.

 

[UrbanRats]

As i said earlier, that's false info. Tree is also in the pc version.

Also the bushes on the right of the cherry blossom? Those are also bigger on PS4.

What a tragedy. This should have been an epic win for Rocksteady, not an epic fail. They even delayed the game by seven months.

I just hope they can whip this game into some sort of shape. I really want to enjoy it the way it's meant to be enjoyed.

 

[Wavebossa]

Can we get some vram usage numbers from people? I really want to know what's going on here.

On everything LOW at 1080p, i'm using 1.5gb onboth SLI 770GTX cards in the menu. Once I start playing the game, its at full 2GB constantly. This is even on the lowest settings

I don't have the vram capacity to accurately assess how much its using. Can someone with a 4GB+ card give us some numbers on usage? (unless I missed it earlier in this fast moving thread)

 

[neorej]

I got it on playable levels now. Everything on one tick above minimal, and it runs on 55-60fps. The Batmobile is still an issue though, with regular dips into 30s/40s and an occasional sub20 drop.

i5 3.2GHz, 16GB DDR3, GTX970, SSD.

 

[moltonasty]

In Batman Arkham Knight for PC, players take control of the capped crusader, to drop enemies like the game drops frames. Villains so vicious, they lack a conscious like the game lacks AO and textures. When you need to even the odds, summon the batmobile and studder about Gotham with its janky controls. Investigate the disappearance of wet textures, ambient occlusion and navigate Warner Bros. massive PR spin cycle!


Featuring exclusive nvidia features like game works which is sure to leave your PC crashing. Includes an innovative DRM application known to slow down performance of games for no reason, PC and Nvidia is the place to play and experience the definitive version of Batman Arkham Knight.

I thoroughly enjoyed this post. It should be on the front of the retail box, Arkham City GOTY style.

 

[Mad Season]

Wave of negative user reviews hit Batman: Arkham Knight, game sinks from view on Steam

[Parsnip]

Images shamelessly stolen from a comment on the Eurogamer thread:

So, you guys want to see something funny? The PC version isn't just missing effects like AO - certain textures and models are entirely absent:

PC:

PS4:

PC:

PS4:

Can also confirm that this is story related and these trees and stuff are not actually missing in the PC version.

 

[Sodding_Gamer]

I don't even have the heart to give the game another go tonight. This whole thing has just put a dampener on my excitement for the game. And with Ori in my library, and an unifnished Witcher 3 playthrough I may as well just leave this game and come back later. I wish people who got this game with their GPU's could refund it and choose a different game to be fair. Having Witcher 3 and Batman included in my GPU purchase was a big reason why I got the goddamn GPU to begin with :/ Lol oh well. Jokes on me!

 

[7DollarHagane]

I uploaded some footage of my gtx 670 at all normal settings, no vsync, no aa.
https://youtu.be/1E9bRhMugRg

The stutters and framedrops are pretty disappointing. I also took footage with gameworks on which is a nightmare. Uploading that after work.

 

[komorebi]

Yeah I'm out. I'll return to the PC version if/when the time comes.

 

[riflen]

If this is using the built in benchmark then it's obviously not indicative of actual performance. If not, then the game seems to perform pretty decently if it weren't for all the stuttering.

I can't read the article, but normally GameGPU pick an area in the game and run around for a while to create their tests.

Risitas is going to be reknown internationally thanks all this bad ports/graphic card videos lol
Long live Risitas!

Some 970 owners have reported 5GB vram usage and up to 10GB main memory usage after a while of playing

You can't stop the misinformation train

Oh? I thought there was a WB guy on Neogaf posting shit earlier though, no?

Yeah it seems like that unless you take 30 more seconds to do some research....

I did some more digging and I really do think it is just a weird coincidence.

The timelines for that linkedin profile absolutely do not match the timeline for the neogaf poster.

Edit: to give some further info that'll hopefully stop people from mining that linkedin profile person:

Linkedin profile has been working in TV for a long time. Neogaf poster owned a videogame shop at the same time period. I really don't think it's the same person.

 

[Wavebossa]

Thank you for the info.

And sorry but this thread is 90% "Omg i'm so done with Rocksteady!" so its hard to find actually pertinent information on people's settings.

VRAM memory leak, poor garbage collection... this is sad

 

[KaiserAlucard]

Yes but those trolls at WB will never release a patch so you don't get your refund.

 

[jacobeid]

Why is this game so freaking muddy?

Even on PS4 it looks muddy as hell.

I really can't get over that. I just can't. It's simply unbelievable. WTF.

 

[viveks86]

Yeah. Been seeing this since yesterday. When people are frustrated (and understandably so), misinformation and exaggeration runs amok.

 

[Wastwood]

even with it´s problems, i have been enjoying the game, but now... it wont even open anymore.

LOL it crashes at startup.

 

[888]

I made a video and shared it with a buddy. He said his game looks a lot better than what he saw in the video. I was mostly aiming to check out performance issues and I was floored to see just how bad image quality is. I am working on getting him to record a bit of footage to compare.

It seems performance wise mine is "ok" but still not great. I can't wait until they mess gets fixed.

[CryTharsis]

Even on PS4 it looks muddy as hell.

I guess it`s because of that blury AA, chromatic aberration and the grain filter. Turn off ingame AA for a better image and use downsampling if possible.

This game is a monster when it comes to memory.

I've noticed a peak of 7GB VRAM usage on my Titan X maxed out at 3k resolution. Seems to sustain about 6.5GBs gliding around the city.

Some 970 owners have reported 5GB vram usage and up to 10GB main memory usage after a while of playing

How could 970 owners report 5GB of VRAM usage, when their cards only have effectively 3.5GB?

 

[jacobeid]

I wondered why turning off AA seemed to make the game look sharper.

What a mess.

 

[CryTharsis]

Some post process AA (FXAA or something like that). Always blurs the image. :-/

[Barack Lesnar]

Just curious, is this video common and what mostly everyone is experiencing while driving the Batmobile?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86g8UtO87h0

Similar to what you're getting? Constant drops to 0-5 fps or is the video an extreme example?

 

[His Majesty]

I disagree with the subtitle.

[Protomanx13]

Remember when gamespot gave this game a 7/10 and every fanboy jumped on them for not rating it as 11 out of 10 even though they didn't play the game. (referring to subtitle) Rocksteady should not be forgiven on this

Wow... 6.5... yeah this is crappy garbage collection... horrible memory management.

And yeah I hope he wasn't thinking that 2x 970GX SLI = 8gb (7gb effective) ram. SLI memory usage doesn't work like that. One card does not borrow the others ram to render a frame.

That doesn't happen to me at least. IT drops to around 30 FPS and fluctuates between 50 and 30. Which is, IMHO, unplayable, but it doesn't go below 30 for me, and a 30 FPS lock rmeoves the inconsistency (but I'm nto going to play this game at 30 FPS).

 

[juno106]

For shits and giggles i followed WB's settings advice , got rid of riva tuner etc. and .....

now it wont stop crashing .

It came free with my GTX 970 but I think I have given up.

Its not even the graphics now , its the fact that it just does not seem to work .

 

[twisted89]

haha! That cracked me up.

 

[EroticSushi]

Managed to play for 2-3 hours straight without there being any real problems performance wise. At 1440p (DSR) my FPS is sitting at 65 with the lowest drops being in the 50's but with G-SYNC it's been pretty smooth.

My main grip is the textures not popping up properly. Am I the only one getting it at every single location that I go too? It's extremely jarring and takes forever for the texture to even pop up. Feels like I'm looking at a PS3 game whenever it happens.
