[therealminime]

Wow the framerate sure is all the fuck over the place. I am constantly going between high 20's, mid 40's, and 60.

 

[publicpwnerer]

No second GPU usage. No idea what the fucking is going on.

 

[glaurung]

GeForce 970, everything maxed out at 1440p, runs smooth as butter. Other specs are good too.

Anti-alias looks crappy.

Also, why can't I enable the new smoke effects?

 

[The Stealth Fox]

The benchmark is completely inaccurate with regards to in game performance. The benchmark states I should be getting locked 60, but if you're flying around, the game stutters all over the place. I always get 30 + but man unlocked the game is a hot mess driving around arkham city

yep this is confirmed. someting is def going on here..

 

[Corpsepyre]

It wouldn't surprise me.

It feels like the streaming is fucking it all up.

Is this confirmed to be using Denuvo?

 

[Schweinehund]

I propose to put something like

(ini tweak for >30 fps) in the title, and the op. It's going to be a common question.

 

[blainethemono]

Yeah, it auto detects whatever is connected.

Initially tried my DS4 using inputmapper came up with 360 prompts, imputmapper off PS4 controls.

That's really sweet imo...

i still want to use inputmapper/ds4windows so i can use touchpad bindings for screenshots/etc.

is it possible to change the button prompts to DS4 controls independently of that? not a huge deal but would be cool

 

[Mononoke]

Wow the framerate sure is all the fuck over the place. I am constantly going between high 20's, mid 40's, and 60.

This is disappointing. :/

Thank god I got this free with my 980. Sounds like flying around fps is all over the place.

 

[Allnamestakenlol]

Starting to have flashbacks to Arkham City dx11 fuckery. You all got me worried.

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

Also, why can't I enable the new smoke effects?

We suspect it requires the latest drivers. But we don't know for sure.

 

[truestatic]

Bookmarking this. Thanks!

And reposting it to the top of the new page for great justice! Good work and you're welcome

Anti-alias looks crappy.

The anti-aliasing is super disappointing. :x

 

[Chesskid1]

Now you mention it... Yes, yes it does...

fuckk, i knew it was out of proportion. seems it's not doing native 21:9

 

[The Stealth Fox]

I'm going to just lock the game at 30 and max it. Hopefully it will go well.

So everything not maxed out?

It's leftover default configs for Unreal Engine games.

Oh! lol

 

[Lunaniem]

Is this game coming to Mobile? A bunch of ipad references in the settings

It's leftover default configs for Unreal Engine games.

 

[Perun]

Don't use crossfire.

I'm using a single card.

 

[CreepingFear]

Any doubts I might have had about getting a 980 Ti are now gone after reading this thread. "It's overkill for 1080P" GTFO.

 

[Zemm]

edit: nope, back to being shit.

 

[glaurung]

So everything not maxed out?

The two new NVIDIA options are greyed out in the settings. Everything else at 11.

But the graphics options menu is a joke in this. TotalJaffaCake is going to rip this game a new arse.

 

[Evo X]

I'm on an SSD. What's the consensus? Pre-load or wait until I can download?

Does decrypting take a long time and is it going to take up 2X space on my SSD while it does so?

 

[Social]

There's absolutely no need for more DRM when the game is on Steam already.

Steam isn't exactly safe if you don't want to get your game pirated though, I can see why they used Denuvo. Maybe it's why the performance is all over thevplace for some.

 

[Thretau]

Have you jumped in the batmobile yet? I was getting single digit frames in that.

Yeah, just did some more driving and it stays pretty much locked at 30 fps. Not sure what's up with the locked 30fps in story mode though.

This is the benchmark result I get with everything turned to max @ 1080p:

i5-2500K @ 4.4GHz
8GB RAM
R9 280X @ 1140/1750
Catalyst 15.6 Beta

 

[viveks86]

The two new NVIDIA options are greyed out in the settings. Everything else at 11.

Those are the heaviest hitters. Clean reinstalling drivers seemed to resolve that issue according to another gaffer.

 

[NIN90]

So what's the line I need to change in the ini file to remove the 30 fps cap and where is said ini located?

 

[therealminime]

Well I've had to lock the game back down to 30 for now because the FPS fluctuations are making it basically unplayable.

 

[glaurung]

Those are the heaviest hitters. Clean reinstalling drivers seemed to resolve that issue according to another gaffer.

Might try this tomorrow. Sleep for now.

Game seems fine overall. The upgrade trees look nice.

 

[dragn]

anyone tried reshade sweetfx for better aa?

 

[JigglesBunny]

PC port is utter trash. I only wanted to play the first five minutes since I'm playing through it all tonight on PS4 but it stuttered with EVERYTHING ON LOW/OFF
and it was locked to 30.

If I had a shit rig, that would be acceptable. But nope. Playing on 1080p, here are my specs.

OS: Win 8.1 64 Bit
Processor: i7-3770
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980
Graphics Memory: 4 GB

Oh, and lack of AA options, Texture Quality only has "Low" and "Normal" options and microstutter and frame drops were rampant.

 

[Schweinehund]

So what's the line I need to change in the ini file to remove the 30 fps cap and where is said ini located?

For people with the 30FPS issue. Go to the installation folder Batman Arkham Knight\BmGame\ Config\BmSystemSettings.ini and look in the file for "MaxFPS=30" change it to what you want.

[baphomet]

So I'm better off running 1 of my 970s as a physx card than in sli for the time being?

 

[Nyanmaruz]

Does anyone know if DS3 works on this?

 

[Sal Ami]

Do any of you complaining about stutter also own Lords of the Fallen? Might be a link between Denuvo and stutter.

 

[Shozuki]

fuckk, i knew it was out of proportion. seems it's not doing native 21:9

Actually, it's only in in-game cutscenes - actual gameplay looks fine.

It's a bummer but not too bad...

 

[comrade]

Spoke too soon game still running like shit.

 

[Phionoxx]

Initial impressions don't seem to hot. Hope these issues can be patched / hotfixed shortly. Really hoping I made the right choice of buying on PC over PS4 version.

 

[ktroopa]

Well first impressions of this are terrible. The 30fps would be forgivable if the constant stuttering weren't so jarring. I've found that as is usually the case, locking the FPS using Riva and enabling V-sync in the Nvidia Control Panel gives far better results.

It's worth noting that for some reason, I had to turn 'Application Detection Level' up to High in order to get the Riva OSD working but once I did, oh boy did it paint a horrible picture. Sticking with the default 30fps, GPU usage never goes above 30%, CPU is just chilling too yet the stuttering and general jankyness is almost unbearable.

what version of RivaTuner are you using please, cpuld you possible post your settings maybe a screenshot please?

i cant get the overlay to show in steam

 

[viveks86]

Do any of you complaining about stutter also own Lords of the Fallen? Might be a link between Denuvo and stutter.

Is this an online DRM? If so can people test in offline mode?

 

[NIN90]

.

Thanks but uhhh... but there's no line like that when I do CTRL+F

EDIT: it's actually called "MaxFPS=30.000000" in my file.

 

[Tovarisc]

Steam isn't exactly safe if you don't want to get your game pirated though, I can see why they used Denuvo. Maybe it's why the performance is all over thevplace for some.

Even Denuvo has been broken and cracks for games using it can be now made. I'm surprised if we some day get DRM that scene doesn't break eventually.

 

[Zemm]

I'm like 84% sure it's the streaming now.

 

[Conkerkid11]

I really didn't expect there to be a Windows 10 driver out for this game today. Will come back with performance results.

Before the update, I was averaging out at 70fps in the performance test, but the framerate was much worse than that when actually playing the game.

4770k stock, and GTX 970.

 

[Red Hood]

Try uninstalling the drivers using this:

http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

Then reinstalling.

Tried it, didn't work. It's not even like I'm running it on Ultra 144fps. What a load of crap this is.

 

[Schweinehund]

Thanks but uhhh... but there's no line like that when I do CTRL+F

EDIT: it's actually called "MaxFPS=30.000000" in my file.

You are right, I'll correct that in my edit.

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

People with streaming/stuttering problems:

- What is your system memory and how much do you have?
- How much GPU memory do you have?
- Are you installed on an HDD or SSD?

 

[Buburibon]

Same card same problem.

Game runs like shit, it's not even a great looker so it feels like there's something wrong with the port, with it being locked to 30fps too something is off.

I'd wager there's something not quite right with how the game streams assets into the world. My system can't seem to hold a steady 60fps at 1080p while both GPU and CPU loads are well below 50%. I'd say the game engine is the bottleneck in its current state. It reminds me of how Far Cry 4 (or Watch_Dogs, the Evil Within) ran at launch. Frame rate dips and stutters all over the place. It's a mess to say the least.

5820K @ 4.5Ghz
Titan X @ 1354Mhz
W8.1 64-bit w/ latest drivers
16GB DDR4
1TB Crucial SSD

 

[comrade]

My GTX 970s are still running at 540mhz for some reason. I might uninstall and re-install drivers.

 

[Perun]

8 GB RAM
R9 280 3 GB
7200 RPM HDD

 

[Piggus]

No second GPU usage. No idea what the fucking is going on.

I'm sure you know this already, but if you installed the new Nvidia drivers (if you're on Nvidia cards), be sure to check the control panel and make sure SLI is enabled. For me it disabled SLI after I updated.

Still have an hour to go before I can test to see if it actually works though.
