Related activity isn't showing up on Steam Community because the app still has the section_type flag with the value set to ownersonly.
PC port being shit means nothing to them if the majority of people are doing what they are saying here, "the game is shit on pc, im buying the ps4" don't do that people, they are still gonna get your money anyway if you do that, send a message by not buying the game, i got the game for free with my card and somehow i feel i was fooled, bought the season pass and im requesting a refund, this is just unacceptable, specially since nvidia promoted this game so heavy, so they expected us to buy graphics cards in the $350 to $650 price range to play this at 30 frames? Im sad more than mad because i really was looking forward to this game, but not like this, not like this......
Sure, but that's not our own recording, so I don't really count it.
I don't know how Denovo DRM works, but if it has some HDD use, it surely will worsen the streaming issues of the game.

I left the 30 fps cap on, so I get 30 fps. There are occasional hitches when it's obvious there's asset streaming going on but no significant stutters or drops like some people have reported.

which studio was responsible for origins? wiki says it was the same devs who did this
What you're experiencing here is a TDR - have a look in the System section of Event Viewer and you will see a warning from Display saying "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered." This is what causes the irreversible downclock to ~400MHz. Only a system reboot will reset that, as you've worked out.
This is either a driver issue (make sure you're on the shiny new Win10 driver) or your card is not stable at the clock you are using. Being stable in other games doesn't make your overclock stable. If it TDR's at stock clocks, consider downclocking to the reference clocks (assuming your card is factory overclocked). If that doesn't help either, I guess you can blame the driver.
PS4 version will be better than 280X

I wasn't planning on buying the game anyways in the near future but now I'm tempted to buy the game on Steam just to play it 10 Minutes and then refund it immediately to send a message, unfortunately my internet connection is too slow and I value my time too much so I wont.

You're completely right, it's odd that Origins gets raked over the coals for bugs but it was the far better pc version and I had really good performance on my rig with only the multiplayer crashing and one of the watch towers not working at launch. This sounds much worse than AC because AC still ran decent without DX11 and this by all accounts sounds like it can't even run well without gameworks.

Also have a 670 and the stuttering is mostly gone for me after putting the textures on low and everything else on normal with no gameworks stuff.
I think we can still agree that BAK is the worse in terms of optimization of the four.
So sad.
They also did Bioshock Infinite for the PC, their track record was pretty good before this.

I have 2way SLI 980s . Run the game at 4K same as you , 30FPS and the game doesn't even feel smooth. Honestly with Setups that cost thousands this kind of medicore performance is -_-.
Honestly I don't even think the game looks that aesthetically great.

i5-2500k @ 4.6
16 GB ram
980 ti bumped up some amount (sorry)
I average 55 fps through the benchmark with everything at max and gameworks on at 1440p
in game, the batmobile sections cause some hitches but the game itself is consistent outside of that
played about 45 minutes, will play more tonight

ive watched the gamersyde xbone videos, so ill use that as a reference for my current opinion. 1440p affords me a sharper picture, but IQ is still horrific. everything shimmers all the time. gsync makes the fluctuating framerate still better than the locked 30, if i didnt have gsync id definitely just play at 30. i havent played long enough yet to encounter the nvidia smoke and debris effects, but the rain effect is barely noticeable and i havent yet come across the enhanced light shafts. or if i have, the difference is very subtle. if you cant run with the smoke and debris i think you will have a very similar experience to the console versions. oh and dark says the ps4 version doesnt have the streaming lod issues.

Ah scratch that, even with those tips it does not exactly run perfect. :/
Having the same issues:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=169481635&postcount=1806
If this is not in the console versions, then PS4 indeed looks better disregarding gameworks. And also kinda runs better.
Anyway, I am so bored of Batman combat, so I'm not even mad that the port sucks.
It has been out in the UK since last night, I've been playing it (also UK). Have you tried restarting steam?
The only countries still waiting are Japan and South Korea.
I have, still getting the error.
No link for properties for this game, I can't verify cache either...
I'm going to go with it was an issue with the driver. When I first installed the new Win10 drivers, nvidia inspector didn't show that there was an SLI profile available (I know it doesn't actually work.) I ran DDU again, and redownloaded and reinstalled the drivers.
Now it shows the SLI profile bits, and hasn't downclocked since. I just get the crash with the error about the missing files in the exe now.
It's funny how much shit Origins received when it rain considerably better at launch than Arkham Knight is running right now.
WTF Nvidia?! Why would you choose to bundle this unoptimized mess with your new cards? Between this and Farcry 4 "Gameworks" is practically an oxymoron right now.

I also can't help but feel that developers should steer clear of Nvidia's proprietary third party tech. In the last 3 titles that Gameworks has prominently been featured in (Project Cars, Witcher 3, and this) there have been big performance issues for users of both AMD and Nvidia. And yes I know you can "turn off" the Gameworks stuff but it's still PhysX running all the physics, cloth, volumetric fog, etc.
This shit looks great in promotional videos but it always seems to bring big performance issues and all around janky-ness with it. My own observations and opinion obviously, but I think Nvidia should keep their fingers out of the pie in terms of actual game development.

Is it actually verifying for you or did it automatically say all files failed and deleted the game forcing a full redownload?

To be fair Iron Galaxy apparently only does the steamworks integration, the actual porting is done by Rocksteady.
If you visit your account page and click the arrow on the store region drop-down box, what options are you given?

Sounds like this was probably made with PS4 as the lead platform (don't know how the XBO version is looking though, haven't heard anything), and then rather shoddily ported over to PC. Kind of the reverse of the TW3 situation. Ok, no, the PS4 version of that isn't shoddy, but it is clearly not as well optimized as this seems to be.
Personally I'm happy that the PS4 version of this seems to be performing as I was hoping TW3 would, but of course it sucks for PC gamers. Hopefully they can fix it up.
Ah, it sounds as though Steam thinks you're in Japan/SK, so I was wondering if your traffic was being rerouted (the box gives up to two options: one based on the region within which you last completed a purchase and another based on your IP). Try seeing if a VPN works (download/install/connect to Spotflux and then restart the client -- unless things have changed, it should still be free, US-based and without session limits).
Yes.

Thanks. Looks like the typical UE3 textures not loading for some assets.
Even with the VPN running it's saying the same thing.
Looks like I'll have to download it again?

Just completed Arkham City New Game + whilst waiting for this game. This thread is so darn depressing. Such a shame too, both previous Arkham games I played (Asylum and City) ran perfectly, aside from DX11 stuff in AC.
Someone told me this was not done by Rocksteady. I can honestly believe them seeing how well Asylum ran when it was released compared to this.

Large framedrops even when you have already put a 30 fps cap, with a new and shiny (and expensive) 980ti?? That's sounds worse than AC:Unity, in my experience.
