Batman AK PC Perf Thread of DARKNESS, NO SETTINGS [30fps cap / intro removal in OP]
- Thread starter Peterthumpa
- Start date
Nah, I mean framerate drops when loading assets, unplayable batmobile, that sort of stuff.
He never said he dropped from 30 to 10 fps. He might very well be unlocked and dropping from 60 to 50 frames
Oops seems like my brain added a "to" where it doesn't belong
i really hope is true tho
Woke up this morning to try out the games after reading how terrible it was last night. To my surprise, I keep a pretty steady 60 FPS. Granted, I've only played about 30-45 minutes this morning before work. Only think I changed was the ini file to allow 60 FPS. I have two 980's in SLI but I disabled SLI and set my second card to handle PhysX.
...I also have a G Sync monitor, so I wonder if that's helping matters.

And I was getting stuttering when I was locked in too. Unlocked to 144fps, smooth sailing from 80-90 after that.
Pretty sure framerate works that way, in that it can't simply drop from 30 to 29 or something like that. When it drops, it drops in some sort of multiple. Too tired to look it up.

Just saw the end credits on youtube and it does indeed show Iron Galaxy Studios as "Additional Engineering and PC Support"
Batman: Arkham Knight Retail

So it was outsourced? I've not touched it on PC yet, so based on the issues, who is everybody betting on? High Voltage?
EDIT: just saw iron Galaxy up above. Holy fuck that's bad. They're hit and miss, shame this one was a miss.

I have no idea what I'm reading
Yeah, that's a post-release sub. It's literally not even a day old. You'll have to hit up the store for a Harley Quinn key.
That's not a pre-order package, either. It seems that physical copies in particular are essentially bundles (post-release game key + pre-order DLC key).

I should of worded it better (which down in the post you see i drop 10-12 fps, down to 48-55FPS) but no i don't drop from 60 to 10fps, if i did i would of uninstalled it and got a refund.
The lowest i have gotten in the game is 48fps and it doesn't stutter.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
This is honestly so disgusting to watch unfold. Arkham Knight was my most anticipated game of the year and in return for buying it day 1, I'm rewarded with an incomplete, broken game. Can't get even a refund because I bought it through GMG.
Leaving a negative review on the store page, and gonna play DMC4 SE and Ori & The Blind Forest instead till this shit gets fixed, if ever.

I quite enjoyed the "Batmad" pun. You're E-Famous now.
People in this very thread have unlocked the game yet experience the single digit drops and freezes though. No one is saying your copy isn't running amazing, just that their experience is poop. PC games can be weird like that
. It's the same with me and Witcher 3 where people got the XP bug, crazy pop in after patches and degrading performance. I got none of that.

So you have problems but they don't bother you. That is a huge difference from not having problems.

I know how that feels , I was so excited in the morning , then I played the game and It killed my hype.
Sigh.
Starforce's record was 422 days with Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, Lords of the Fallen is coming near day 200 or so. Who knows, could go past that.

I'm just glad the issues are getting some widespread exposure not only from PC centric sites but from mainstream outlets like Game Informer. Hopefully a patch is on the way because the game can be downright unplayable at times.
Yeah as I mentioned above my brain added in a "to" before the 10fps which is why I was a bit suprised that anyone could be okay with that XD

The thing I don't get about the frame rate lock, is how can this still be done in 2015? It might be the game fundamentally can't handle more than 30fps? Perhaps we shouldn't be unlocking it and just put up with 30fps. Maybe that's better.
The problem is there's been no communication about the PC port and it seems it was purposefully kept out of circulation prior to release.

I get stuttering all over the place like that. Even if it's pre locked.

Yea, I played all the Batman games on PC. I just finished Origins 2 days ago.
Arkham Knight is a huge step up. I don't really know what to tell you. It's not a couple of added effects, the game is vastly improved graphically over it's predecessors. What holds it back is how jaggy it is and the awful AA implementation.
And yes, the few moments the game's managed to run at 60 FPS for me, it impressed me more then Witcher 3.

The fact that they gave a 30FPS lock as the default is hilarious , the opening screen should just say , go buy a PS4.
The Jaggies in this game drive me nuts , I mean how can you have jaggies when AA is on and the game is at 4k is beyond me.
PC has become more mainstream these days, with Steam expanding like crazy over the years.
get on the phone ASAP, tell him/her that we need a patch today, please?....
I don't doubt that they are a good physical reseller. But they don't seem to be authorised digital reseller in the least. Hence why they sell Battle.net keys and can sell Batman for 30$. They are not getting from the publisher do we dont know the source. Could be from physical copies, could be from NVIDIA promotion.

Now some in the community seem to think that verifying the game install (and thus downloading it all again) may fix the problem.
I don't think i'm going to try that.

Really? I don't see it. I'm looking at shots of both from the PC screen shot thread and not seeing it.
MAterials shader son some objecs look better, for sure, metal, Batman's cape, but if I didn't know better, I'd have a hard time picking out AO or eve AC vs this game ona screenshot.

dropping a few frames isn't a problem, it's just the closest thing to a problem i could come up with in this argument.
Never been one to care unless it drops below 25-30.
But like i said clearly there is a huge fucking problem when the majority of people here and everywhere are complaining. I guess i lucked out like i did with Witcher 3 when it came out and just haven't ran into the major issues (yet). Hopefully it's fixed soon so people can enjoy the game because it's fucking awesome and it's fucking tragic people can't play it because they shit the bed with the port.
Still completely baffled as to how goddamn limited the graphic options though. Even origins had a more robust option menu.
My PC performance is exactly like in that RPS video. At this point my mood toward the game has turned from "most anticipated of the year" to "well fuck this" in a short span of time.
Even if they fix it soon I don't think I'll be able to fully enjoy it at the moment because of all of this. RS done fucked up.

Dragon Age: Inquisition uses Denuvo as its DRM, DAI has been cracked quite long time ago.
They commented on it today; http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=169500419&postcount=2846
Don't do that shit. Probably better to wait for an official patch, because clearly game has some serious issues.

I'm not sure if this will help anyone or provide any guidance, but I played for an hour last night when it released and had none of these awful issues I'm seeing. That Rock Paper Shotgun video looked sad
Here are my specs in case anyone finds it useful:
Core i7 3770-K @ 4.5 GHz
16 GB RAM
Titan X (On just released 353.30 WHQL drivers)
Running at 1080p
Max settings (though I saw that textures can only be set to "Normal" as highest)
PC Performance benchmark gave me somewhere of an average of upper 90s fps.
The framerate does seem capped outside the benchmark tool, but there were no drastic framedrops when I played.

I'm guessing they know full well the game runs terribly and figured for the average person, it'd be safer to just cap it at 30fps so it provides a 'playable' experience.
