Batman AK PC Perf Thread of DARKNESS, NO SETTINGS [30fps cap / intro removal in OP]
- Thread starter Peterthumpa
- Start date
I'm on an SSD and in-game performance is better than what most are posting here. Although the videos stutter, especially in the beginning of the vid. Haven't played much, though, but my rig handled the first 30 minutes of gameplay quite well.

I'd imagine theres a small group that also got it for free with a video card so they can't get refunds(ie me)
seeing as i'm stuck with the copy of it (and not experiencing as many awful performance issues that I see posted, feeling lucky about that) I might as well play the thing with substandard performance and enjoy what I can of it
The performance is unacceptable, and they'll get my shitty review for that

I can really hear the TotalBiscuit video in my head just about now.
I'm running from an SSD and driving the batmobile is a joke with no 30fps cap. Hitches and stutters like crazy.
My experience has been pretty smooth and I am running off an SSD. I also have all of the GameWorks crap off except for the rain.

30 fps on pc is unacceptable. Not berating anyone but I find it funny that the issue is downplayed all over the industry.

It's sad to read so many people having issues. I haven't had any at all.

It's not the first time someone called Origins "Oranges". A lot of well known sites have done this, google it.
Why? I have no idea.

If you want the comfort of "if this is shit i don't lose money" you should probably just buy directly from Steam. If you used the 40% off at least you didn't lost out on $60.

Depends on your graphics card. If you have Nvidia, I think the the Inspector (I think that's what it's called) has some kind of option. If you have AMD download the thirdparty software RadeonPro.
Add the game's .exe to the profile. Select the SMAA box and set it to Ultra. It's a really good AA that doesn't take a huge hit to FPS.

The Oranges thing is a running gag on Eurogamer.
Leaving work now so can't wait to it try it out on my rig:
Intel Core i7 4930K Unlocked (6 x 3.4 GHZ)
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti - 3 GB
16 GB Kingston HyperX Beast 2400 MHz (2x8GB)
Asus RAMPAGE IV EXTREME (Intel X79)
I'm sure I won't be disappointed

Lords of the Fallen is the only one that isn't cracked. DA:I has been cracked for a long while now.
30 FPS on PC is the same as 30 FPS on consoles. (Barring easily fixable frame pacing issues)
Yeah, like fuck would I ever do that. I really hope those people at least plan to resell the PS4 copies when they're done.

Does Nuuvem do refunds if activated?
People can have different standards for sure, but that is irrelevant to attest this is objectively a bad port. The standard is set by other games, and AK falls short of that standard.
I've read this a lot of times. Sorry for my ignorance, but isn't Shadow of Mordor PC port great?
Radeon 7970 Ghz Edition with 6GB of VRAM.
If I remember correctly, a 280 is just a rebranded 7970.

Thanks, NVIDIA here. So, SweetFX? I guess that RadeonPro works with NVIDIA cards too, gonna give it a shot. People were not lying about aliasing, even at 1440p the game is jaggy as hell.

Any comparisons for PS4 vs PC out yet? The game runs like crap on my 2GB GTX 680, even though I can run most games fine.

Wierd that the image shows SweetFX button but it is actually under the Visual button. I just used that image because it was readable. LOL

Specially with this game. When it runs ok, capping at 30 FPS shines with AK.

Good job, everyone.
Ah, so reviews are welcome again. I wonder if a swathe of negative reviews results in the review function being automatically disabled pending manual, uh, review. Review, review, review!

This game runs so bad...did they test it on anything other than a Titan X? I know my card is older (EVGA 670 FTW 2GB) but even Witcher 3 runs way better than this (It's actually very playable).
I guess we can't really blame Rocksteady and at least they're working with the studio who ported it, hopefully get some kind of patch soon.

Man can't get over that low framerate and bad aliasing. Funnily enough first thing I did was find a fireman to rescue, the faces during conversations are laughably bad lol, wasn't this game supposed to have faceworks?
He already tweeted about AK and poked fun at ports performance, report will arrive "soon". He has some stuff with his wife atm so videos may be delayed tad. He also made longer tweet about how quite few WB games, including previous Arkham games, has suffered from bad PC performance.
Aside from the fact that SLI isn't working, I am mostly not having any issues running at 1440p. I'm running on a 4770K with two 970s with SLI disabled and the 2nd card dedicated to PhysX, plus 3/4 Gameworks enabled - disabled the smoke/fog effects. In the batmobile, it does drop below 60 fps, typically 55-58 FPS or so, but it doesn't stutter very often unlike what other people have been experiencing. My experience hasn't been 100% stutter free, it is just a rare occurrence.
Hmm, is the stuttering only when driving max speed in the batmobile and gliding? I haven't seen any stuttering when gliding, I'll have to try the batmobile more at top speeds.

chill out dudes, game just need some patches, worst case you get a full refund
The quality of the port depends on the original codebase as well. For instance if the code assumes a 30fps rate and other console specific requirements all over then it becomes incredibly difficult for PC port house to fix that.

If his wife is let home early from the hospital you can expect a port report today.
It's in the top 5 sales but I think a lot of people have used retail or 3rd party sold keys for this because of Nvidia and the fact that it has been readily available for around the $20 mark. If you use a key then a refund isn't an option sadly.

Yes, everyone who got it on PC absolutely got it from steam. /s

Good job, everyone.
Disappointed in that 31% tbh lol
AK is most definitely an underwhelming port for many people but when you have people with 980s or whatever saying that they can deal with 30fps, that shows that they are versatile and can adapt. However, that doesn't mean that they won't choose a 60+fps option if given the choice. Calling them out for finding 30fps playable isn't really needed. They're just as unhappy with the port as most people are.
We need to go lower.
