Batman AK PC Perf Thread of DARKNESS, NO SETTINGS [30fps cap / intro removal in OP]

OK, sorry for that.
You are definitely NOT getting 60fps with that rig.
You probably won't even get a stable 30.
PS4 is the way to go for now. Some day, when it's polished up and you've upgraded, you can pick it up on PC during a Steam sale and enjoy it at a higher frame-rate.

Can't believe Rocksteady outsourced the PC version to Iron Galaxy, those motherfuckers! >:|
League of legends is casual now?

Precisely this. Cracking it would remove those calls completely or have the responses provided at the source.

I wanna say AO vs AK...
You sure you don't see it? I'm shocked that this keeps coming up. I get it that everyone is pissed with performance, I am too. But seriously?
Yep, I was comparing indoor shots. When you look outdoors, there's a marked difference in lighting for sure. Was totlaly wrong about that. LOD too is much better. Forgotten how "fake film set" last gen outdoors games tended to look.

Is anyone just really depressed their hyped got killed on opening day?
I feel like the kid in the candystore that bought a Wonkabar and bit into a cockroach.

Well not really. I'm sure you can run Witcher 3 at amazing settings. But this is a shit port, for now.

Yep, just their PC is broken, nothing else is possibly wrong.
That's Arkham City (PC) vs Arkham Knight (PC). Apparently they are comparable.
The performance is absolutely unacceptable.
By default the capped 30 fps gameplay has severe input lag and the stuttering makes me nauseate. Setting max fps to 60 just makes the stuttering even more obvious.
To me the problem seems to come from level streaming issues, traversal on batmobile is unplayable due to constant frame drops, long-distance grapple almost guarantees stuttering, camera rotation starts with frame drop but would soon maintain steady. The graphics sure is not that demanding. I run the game on an OCed 290 and I don't think it can not be handled.
Comparing to AC: Unity, Far Cry 4, Dying Light, and The Witcher 3, Batman AK has the worst launch undoubtedly.

Isn't the game supposed to recognize your DS4? Control section and menu prompts show Xbox for me.
Anyway I disabled the 30fps cap and ran the benchmark. I have SLI disabled. Avg 77 fps with everything on @ 2560x1440. Hopefully that's where Gsync can come in and salvage some of the stuttering that is going to occur.

People have been posting images of N64 level textures (Maybe LOD issues) like 10+pages back.

just like MKX then
WB going for the nostalgia effect
jesus christ
my "it drops a bit when in the batmobile sometimes" is no longer a valid complaint
night and fuckin day between mine and this video
when wired, it picks up my ds4 natively and works
when wireless, it doesn't detect my controller at all
when wireless and with input mapper it just picks up xbox prompts

Thanks for the response! I'm primarily a console gamer, but I'm interested in buying an actual gaming PC sometime next year, so I'm trying to learn some things before getting one.
I understand that piracy does exist on PC, but my assumption is that having an account-based system like Steam, Origin and U-Play, should be enough to combat against that, right?
I'm hoping they patch out, especially if it's effecting people's performance. I'm hoping that WB was upfront regarding the DRM before people purchased the game.
I don't know man. Even I can't wrap my head around most MOBAs, so they don't seem casual to me.
EDIT: Ahh, ok. Misunderstood.

Thats weird. Some other poster earlier in the thread had the opposite problem, plugging in an Xbox controller and getting PS prompts.
Just saw the end credits on youtube and it does indeed show Iron Galaxy Studios as "Additional Engineering and PC Support"
The weird thing is they showed AK running on PC last year right(and I really thought it was the lead version back then)? does this mean Rocksteady shifted focus to consoles and abandoned the PC version mid-development?
and I still wonder why they picked Iron Galaxy instead of their own sister studios (Monolith or WB Montreal) and I doubt hiring a studio is cheaper than hiring your own WB programmers.
so this is gonna be MK like disaster again. smh
I am. Built my first PC and bought 980ti so I can play the game and relish in all the eye candy. Unfortunately i think I am being introduced to the darkside of gaming on a computer. Game seems to be a straight port from PS4 with no optimization at all.
They can most definitely be played at a casual level. Most MOBAs in general(at least the ones I've played) have pretty low skill floors but high skill ceilings.
EDIT: Saw your edit. Nevermind then.

I would pay to get my named REMOVED from the credits if I worked on the PC version of this game.
Well one of the mods have already said not to post speculations. But for your info, those posters said that they contacted WB on their phone line.
Didn't Giant Bomb say then that they thought the game looked amazeballs, BUT that it ran like ass? They even mentioned the batmobile sequences specifically, IIRC.

I turned off Inputmapper/DS4windows. After that it showed the DS4 prompts.

Even with steam's refund policy I think if you are looking for the best version of a game to play you absolutely do not bother playing games on day 1. Wait a few weeks or months and you should be good to go and for cheaper.
It just takes discipline. But eventually you end up far enough behind the release schedule that it doesn't matter. If you only buy a few games a year it is difficult but if you buy a lot of games then you won't even notice after a while. It ends up being akin to the difference between going to the movies to watch a new release vs waiting for it to come out on Blu-Ray. Just got to tune out the hype. But it is much more satisfying to play a properly finished game rather than the frustration of a broken day one game.

Ive played the game with no tweaks fine for like 30min! Them decided to mess with the fps lock! Now gama crashes on the initial sequence right before officer owens get hes run, so yeah its sad... Now ill transfer the game to my SDD and see if i can get better performance!
Oh Bats... you've seen better days!
Oh Bats... you've seen better days!
wtf... and here I was annoyed at the supposed 3,5GB patch they announced prior to release
Please stop with this. It's the dark sid eof gmaing PERIOD. Witcher 3 - still has frame rate issue son PS4, as do MANY other games.
This is a modern (more or less) developer/publisher issue and it's an issue on ALL platforms. Trying to pigeonhole it as a "PC gaming" issue is NOT good, 'cause that's what people will start to think, and console games with poor performance will continue to get a slide.
We want this shit to stop happening on EVERY platform.

I built a PC just 2 weeks ago. 980 ti too.
So dissappointed.
Withcer 3 runs and plays like a dream though, so does GTA V. But this? Argh, it hurts really.
I'll jus get this on PS4.

I'm using Input Mapper...wonder if that's the culprit.
Cool, thanks.
Yeah that looked like an LOD bug.
Like this in AC
It was all over the place.
The saddest part is that those visuals are far from impressive.

I've played for 30 mins now, unlocked a
, looks sexy af. Game runs at solid 30fps, most gameworks off (except for the light and paper stuff).
It runs ok, but it should perform a whole lot better on my rig, got a 970 i7 processor, SSD, the whole nine yards.
I hope they fix this, glad i picked this up on a third party website and didn't pay full price on steam.
