What will you be using? Any guides?

I use Softether VPN client. and just Youtube a guide, quite a few of them out there.

It looks like a quick response for AMD http://steamcommunity.com/gid/103582791433980826/announcements/detail/207511695917042396

Nice!

Can't wait to see the benchmarks.

 

[Methos#1975]

Will this be the game that finally kills my Alienware Alpha, I guess we shall see.

 

[Revolutionary]

I've got a 980 Ti but I'm nervous that my CPU isn't going to be up to snuff (i7 950).

 

[Toothless Spoon]

Sli users, I wouldn't get your hopes up - the 'game ready' driver has a batman profile, with no Sli flags :/

I have the same CPU and GPU, this should be fun

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

I know this didn't work for everybody but all of my driver crashes went away when I did a clean install of the driver.

Mine seems to have, but I've only done a few hours of stress testing so far...

My 980ti is HOPEFULLY ready.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

VPN working or nah?

 

[jett]

New drivers at least...

Tonight, 9pm Pacific time, if history is any indicator.

Still kinda far off. Okay, thanks.

 

[Corpekata]

VPN working or nah?

It's not out anywhere for 45 minutes. We'll know within an hour.

Another game made unplayable for AMD users by Nvidia contracts and plug ins.

Fortunately the Arkham franchise doesn't really interest me.

 

[SmokedMeat]

I'll be completing my PC (and building it), when I get back from vacation. Happy to see my build will be a little better than what's recommended.

Thanks for coming into a Arkham thread to let us know.

I know right. This situation straight pisses me off.

AMD just released optimized drivers for this game: http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/latest-catalyst-windows-beta.aspx

And all the previous Arkham games, including Origins, performed fine on AMD hardware. Not sure why everyone is overreacting over this.

 

[GearDraxon]

i7 4790k
16gb @ 2400
970 tomorrow, 980 ti on Wednesday.

Bring your worst.

Exactly the same here, except 980 now, 980ti tomorrow. Should be great.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Beat Witcher 3 just in time, and have two days off!

 

[jacobeid]

Glad to see the AMD drivers. I'll post later on what type of performance I'm getting with a 7850. Woof.

Just hoping for medium settings 1080/30.

 

[hlhbk]

Does VPN to unlock a game early get you banned on steam?

As much as I would like to play early and have heard vpning won't get your banned I just can't bring myself to risk it when 600 games tied to my Steam account.

Because Nvidia is EEEEEEEVIL didn't you get the memo from AMD the Dark Knight of video card companies?

Yep. You've got a lot more games then I but I'm not putting my account at risk for a few hours*. It's just not worth it.





*Actually just over 35 mins as I'm in the UK

 

[Aranath]

Hoping Gsync will help spare my 780 some of the pain. I'm really curious to see what performance Kepler gets, given recent events.

I'm really busy with The Witcher 3 and GTA V at the moment, so I'll be holding off until a future date for now, anyway (painful as that may be - I love the Arkham series).

 

[BlackNinja]

My 980 Ti is curious if it can run this maxed out at 4K.

I am going to do that. Hoping for 30fps w/Gameworks @ 4k.

 

[viveks86]

No tweak guide at launch

Yes, but not at launch. I was at E3 last week, and combined with other factors that means its going to be impossible to go live simultaneously.

Also it seems like face works was dropped after all:

No Faceworks. That's a preliminary image from a long time ago.

Same here! I'm half glad that I have a busy afternoon and evening, so that I'm not kicking myself while the rest get to play!

 

[roytheone]

I've got a 980 Ti but I'm nervous that my CPU isn't going to be up to snuff (i7 950).

My i7 870 is below the minimum specs for a few games (witcher 3, ac: unity) and yet I can run those games maxed with a steady 30 fps. CPU requirements are currently bullshit, they are way higher than you actually need.

Hey so does anyone know what the deal is with the inevitable GOTY edition on Steam will be? For the previous games did they make it so that you could just pay to upgrade it later, or is it sold as a whole separate deal after the fact?

(Just asking here since it's a PC crowd and the OT is a little busy at the moment)

Because WB released a statement that the game would perform poorly on AMD, alongside revised minimum requirements that put a 660/2GB equal to a 7950/3GB?

 

[Mohonky]

Thats a fairly narrow range between Min and Recommended, then a massive leap too Ultra.

Windows 10 drivers?? Can only see 7 and 8.1 drivers.

would be cheaper to just buy the season pass when it goes on sale the next year for 5 dollars

Pre-Load half done. Currently downloading at 9MB/s.

I don't recall exactly but those two games were a special case because they switched from GFWL to Steamworks and gave away the GOTY editions for free.

 

[~~Hasan~~]

I have to ask. my game on steam says " an error occurred while updating batman ( content still encrypted)

this is the first time I purchase something and preload from steam, but does that mean the game is locked till release date ?

Cool thanks. I'll just pick this up when I get a chance and then worry about the GOTY / DLC later if I feel like replaying it I guess.

They didn't say it would perform poorly, they said there are performance issues, which could mean anything. It's probably related to GameWorks features or CrossFire, since it's disabled even with the latest driver.

I'm not too concerned about the minspec GPU since Witcher 3 did it as well and it ended up performing significantly better on AMD vs Kepler.

Windows 10 drivers?? Can only see 7 and 8.1 drivers.

W10 drivers are on a different fork, pretty sure AMD said you'll get most driver releases through Windows Update.

 

[BY2K]

2k, please. Upgrade that GPU son.

Is it really that bad?

Am I at least gonna be able to run this like I want it to?

 

[TheVampire]

How long now until unlock?

 

[blackMamba1187]

Curious to see how an i5 2500k holds up. Also curious about a sky lake release date 😄

 

[dEvAnGeL]

i got my i7 2600k @ 4.5 and GTX 980 Ti ready, lets do this!

 

[AndyMoogle]

Pre-Load half done. Currently downloading at 9MB/s.

My measly 2MB/s will take another 3.5 hours :/

 

[pahamrick]

Still rocking a 'lowly' i7 920. I did manage to push the OC to 4.1Ghz without HT though. Lets see how it performs!

 

[AHindD]

Is it really that bad?

At 2k? 1080p more likely.

 

[BlackEyes]

20 minutes guys!!!

 

[RK9039]

20 minutes I think.

 

[ultracal31]

Less than 1MB/s on my end

 

[wowzors]

I don't think this game will be very cpu intensive so it should be fine. Hell an overclocked 2500k still rocks like 99% of games at max.

 

[Confusion Illusion]

How big is the pre load? Damn bandwidth caps. I still have 14 days left till it refreshes.

 

[Smokey]

caved and bought the premium edition from gmg

rdyyyyyyyyyyy

 

[CreepingFear]

i got my i7 2600k @ 4.5 and GTX 980 Ti ready, lets do this!

That's the setup I'll have(4.4ghz overclock) when I get my 980 Ti Classfied. Please post in here with your performance impressions.
