So should I just disable DX11 features right out of the gate?

I ran the benchmark with everything maxed except physx was disabled (AMD card) and it ran well but from skimming this page, it seems like the benchmark is not a very good representation of the game.

New patch was put out yesterday. Patch notes:

We are pleased to confirm that the second patch for the PC version of Batman: Arkham City is now available across all digital platforms. We would like to thank our community for their patience and support while we worked on these fixes.

Fixes that this patch addresses are listed below:
* Occurences of Save File Corruption
* Achievement re-locking issues
* Crossfire/SLI Issues
- Graphical flickering
- FPS improvements when running crossfire
* Instances of 32 bit memory problems
* Improvements to performance in cut scenes and death taunts
* Error messages removed when patching the game and improved patching process

I tried it and it fixed my save. I'll finally get to finish the game after several months. Nice that I'll finally get to finish my save, but disapointing it took so long.

I dont know what is the main reason is, however this game is not available to purchase in STEAM for a number of countries... its a pity.

still doesn't fix DX11 issues from what I can tell.

I'm guessing because it's a Game for Windows Live Game? Usually you can't buy those games if Xbox Live is not available in a country.

wait but wasn't the first GFWL as well though? that one IS available however

 

[hiverbon]

Can't you guys get a friendly gamer in another country to gift you the game? Or will GFWL just not work even if you're able to buy it?

 

[Totobeni]

GFWL need to die.

 

[InfiniteNine]

Is the patch already out? I booted up the game and GFWL just signed me in without an update prompt.

 

[Sentenza]

GFWL need to die.

No objections here, really.

 

[Jtrizzy]

this piece of shit just crashes on start up if I have DX11 enabled. DX9 works fine, and I think the new drivers have improved physx performance a lot.

Finally!!!!

60Fps almost all the time 1080p with DX11 Tesslation High, HBAO, MVSS, Everything high and FXAA (High).

I just needed this new patch, a 7970-card OC 1.2V, 1125, 1575.

Just FXAA high and no other types of AA?

 

[dino1980]

Just FXAA high and no other types of AA?

EDIT Tested

2x MSAA 60fps
4x MSAA 60fps
8x MSAA 30fps

But the colours in the game is all wrong when I use MSAA. There more to the red side, so Im gonna use FXAA High... just wished I could use 4x Supersampling

 

[Lord British]

GFWL is not popping up when I start the game anymore, so I can't load my save. Anyone know a fix? (Steam)

 

[EternalGamer]

Finally figured it out, I was missing one more folder path. This has taught me a valuable lesson: Only buy games on steam and only buy games from other vendors if they're steamworks. Fuck this manual patch bs.

Sorry for the thread revival but how did you fix this. I went to finish the game I started last Fall today and got hit with this update and the same error message. I also have the Greenman version.

 

[faceless007]

So there seems to be a bug in the PC version (surprise surprise) where Catwoman's Quick Disarm and Quick Caltrops are internally bound to the same function, so pressing whatever key is assigned to it only results in caltrops, and disarm is impossible. This can't be fixed in the options because both actions are bound to the same key, Quick Gadget 2. This thread on the official forums gives a potential workaround but others in there say it doesn't work.

Has anyone else experienced this and/or found a solution?

 

[Thaedolus]

Heyoo,

I just picked this up from the Steam sale and, as far as I can tell, enabling DX11 features breaks the game. As in, I just get a black screen at startup. Seems to run fine with everything else enabled, but DX11/tessellation kills it. I'm running a GTX570 on the latest nvidia drivers, and I seemed to find multiple issues with DX11 on google, but no fix yet. Anyone know of a solution?

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

Anyone know of a solution?

My solution (which worked pretty well, I must say):
Turn off DX11.
The game looks just as beautiful with only DX10 features enabled.
I actually couldn't spot any noticeable differences (other than a better framerate) when I turned off DX11.

If you want the game to look better than the regular game, you better turn on PhysX. Your graphics card should be able to handle it.

Just started trying to play this but the performance SUCKS. I turned off DX11 too. I am trying DX9 with 4xSGSSAA. I am getting like 45 fps in some parts. I don't understand, considering in games like Mass Effect 3 and other UE3 engine games I get a constant 60 fps using 4xSGSSAA. I am using SLI GTXA 670's also.
