Well with AA and physx off my 470 can run the game at 60fps with all of the other options turned on and that's not a ton better than a 460. It's just the frequent and random stutters that prevent it from a locked 60. I'm just trying to find out if anyone else is having these problems on a nvidia machine. The in game benchmark is misleading because it had me at 59 average.
I think most of the other characters look fine. I totally would Harley, but Wayne is just like "lolol."

Yes, it's just a higher quality 8x MSAA. 32x CSAA doesn't look hugely better, but it's nice to know you're using the best AA available. All I need to do now is figure out what's up with the transparency AA and why it doesn't work/uses its own transparency bit.

Man, can't believe this release could get any worse. I though surely the game would be solid considering it's Rocksteady but....
My game downloaded via Steam long ago but I'm not gonna bother installing; waaayyy too many reports of unplayable games to think I'd be different, especially with the triple-layer DRM slathered on top. Oh well, not like there isn't a ton of other games to be played right now I guess. Man I feel bad for those of you that are trying to play this thing.

Seems to have unlocked for AU but it's store page is currently unavailable despite being listed under new releases. Not sure what's going on there.
I had physx on before, didn't realize it. My frame rate jumped significantly with it off. I get a pretty solid 60 now on High and FXAA, but there are still larger city views when you grapple that the frame rate spikes down to like 37 according to fraps.
I get the occasional random drop or stutter too, like when doing a VR mission the frame rate goes down big time for a second while it loads. Seems a bit like a shoddy port to me. Shame on Rocksteady.

Devs are aware of DX11 issues and have made a statement:

Nice workaround, except we already figured it out. Lame.

Anyone here have problems after the GFWL check where it tells you about the Automatic Saving thingy? My game crashes right after pressing the A button.
WORKAROUND: I've read that it's related to the location of the MY DOCUMENTS. Mine's on Drive E: and I can't move it back to the C: Drive for some reasons. I've created another profile on my machine and now it works.
Hopefully this will get fixed... I find it pretty stupid to create another profile just for this game. Hopefully I can transfer it back to my main user profile when/if the problem gets fixed.
And the game takes forever to launch, reminds me of The Witcher 2.

For some reason there's a purple line running on the right side of the screen:
Present in menus, goes away whenever the game loads, and then returns when the game starts. Using the nVidia 285.79 drivers. Kinda strange and not sure what's causing it.
Edit: Seems to go away when I bump the resolution down from my laptop's native 1366x768 to 1280x720.

I hope it comes across as sarcastic. I'm pissed at the whole situation after the delay. But, obviously I'm not fucking crazy. I'M NOT CRAZY!
:snip:

Hmm... having the My Documents folder on another drive being an issue might explain why the game keeps crashing on me. Yeah, the launch thing could be securom as well, and GFWL takes a long time to sign in as well. I don't really feel like playing anymore for the day.
*takes deep breaths*
You must be new to PC gaming. Its been this way for at least 15 years, the glory years of PC gaming was pre 1995, and to be honest, the earliest of the 90s. With the advent of the internet, patches have infected the industry and allowed publishers to push release dates onto developers with the idea of patching later.
The only recent PC game I've played with zero day 1 issues was BF3. Everything else in recent and long term memory (for me) has been a disaster. But again, I expect this, I"ve been building gaming PCs and PCs in general since the mid 80s.

So. Whole computer just went to fucking shit after like 15 minutes maybe. Reset the whole computer. Haven't had that problem before, so I'm guessing it was the game some how. Going to try a little Battlefield 3 and see if it happens, if it doen't I'll jump back into Arkham City and see if it happens again.
EDIT: Reading the BF3 thread, maybe it's not the best game to test out since the patch. Fucking developers and PC games...

game is taking ages to unzip on GMG anyone else have this issue?
Yeah, the whole process seems to take forever. First it downloads that massive 16gb file, then creates a zip file from it, and after that tries to install it. Rather inefficient and eats up quite a bit of hard drive space just to install. Also be sure remove the download and zip files once it's done installing, because both of those combined take up 30GB.

I'll play this in a few weeks when it gets ironed out. Rather spend my time on stable games like BF3 and Skyrim.

Uhh, no I am not high, this is the best implementation of FXAA I have seen yet:

I said AO, not HBAO. I am not using DX11 so why would I be talking about HBAO? Or did you not read my post? The basic AO available in DX9 does look like shit.
And Physx looks like shit on an artistic level. It sticks out like a sore thumb as it was clearly never part of the initial game design.

Which one is FXAA and which one is 32x CSAA?
No, see, I said that because your screenshot features telephones.

Oh I see.
To answer your question, though, I can't be sure.

No clue, but the top looks better to me.
Agreed, the bottom picture has jaggies on the phone and the grass.

Top pic is FXAA.
Bottom is 32X CSAA.
FXAA appears to have less aliasing, but the textures are slightly blurred (though it's quite minimal). Usually though, FXAA doesn't fare quite as well in motion, as distant aliasing tends to shimmer quite a bit, even though it looks good in stills.
I thought Arkham Asylum played great with KB/M. I'm sure I'm one of the few, but I actually preferred it to the 360 controller.

My brother did the same and he was pleased with it.
It's low sample AO, look at where Batman's cap meets his back:
The low sample AO is what I hated in AA...it was the biggest graphical flaw in the original game. Is it any better this time around?
I wonder if HBAO will fix it, once DX11 is working properly.
