Here's hoping. I really hope this generates enough backlash to affect their bottom line. It propably won't but they really couldn't ignore this then.

Development is now at Qloc so it should be fine soon enough.

Not sure about this, reading plenty of people having issues on consoles as well, game seems a mess performance wise.
I am on all High, no gameworks at all, 1080p and it seems ok. Its not brilliant and I am not even going to attempt anything above 30 but it seems okay. Batmobile / Tank is definitely the worst offender for dips, but it doesnt seem too bad otherwise, not unplayable anyway.
But yeh the post processing in this game is ridiculous. Summed it up in the general Batman AK thread, just far too much going on, its like they hit the On button for every graphical effect they could think to use. The game feels like it needed a strong leader in the art team to come in and say no, this shit is too much, this is what we want visually. As it stands, its like everyman and their dog had input here and they've just attacked the game with every thing they could thk to include when they should have reigned it in and just focussed it. The previous games were chunky and bold but as a result they were very clean looking and didn't run all that badly.
This one is a fucking mess.

I had noticed that Geforce experience prompted me that it had downloaded optimization information, so I clicked on it, and this is what I saw... Ain't this the truth:
Okay, I see what you're saying, my bad.
If anyone wants to know the REAL reason why this port feels rushed:

I dont think it will.
I bought the game despite being on the fence due to all the rave reviews since they gave reviewers only PS4 version.
And its GMG so no refund even if I wanted. I am loving the game so will keep it but I have pretty high specs.
Easy. There is no "Highest" setting, it's just "Normal".
I'm pretty sure Nixxes is like 5 people.

It is a mess. Rocksteady/Iron Galaxy/WB are all at fault.

Would you say that regardless of time, the resullt = shit effort.
I hope Dice doesnt do this with Battlefront. I mean...with the PS4 having 8gb ddr5...i hope multi plat titles don't start raising the vram requirements before $300 graphic cards with 8gb vram start shipping.

At this point, after such rave reviews (due to PS4 review copies sent before launch) I just hope Witcher 3 is higher in sales.

This doesn't mean shit.
Various remasters on PS3 and likely PS4 were done by teams of only a handful of people and those games turned out fine.
I have a 760 and it runs like shit. The game is just very poorly optimized for pc.

Warn a Brother.
All right so after redownloading the game to get the proper build the game is totally playable right now.
I get a constant 30fps. The problem is that even if technically the FPS are mostly locked at 30, I still get some stutter here and there, especially when turning the camera and during the batmobile segments. It's really annoying but not a deal breaker. Hopefully there's a way to fix that at some point.

Just noticed something.
The RAM usage starts around 4500 when I load up the game and it steadily rises until it's apparently using all 8GB. Even if I'm doing nothing. Standing in a corner, where it's quiet.
I have never, ever seen a game do that.
Double checked with The Witcher 3, a far bigger and better looking game may I add, and it hovers around 4800ish. Not constantly rising.
Is there anyone with more than 8GB? 16GB maybe? Can you find out if it uses all 16?
Could it be a memory leak that's causing all the stuttering?

30FPS and we don't even get AO , might as well play on Console.

Just as an aside, we're actually pretty close to $300 8gb vram cards, e.g. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202148&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=. Not that vram is what drives performance, just figured I'd point it out.
Yeah, a 12 person port team isn't necessarily a problem. It's most likely that the blame lies with WB since they ultimately have the final say on release dates and milestones. They could have delayed this but they didn't. They could also have underfunded the port.

With 16gb consumes 8100mb with the game on max settings 1440p

Dice has a ton of PC development experience. One of the best. This game is an obvious outlier. This situation is no indicator of anything other than WB's lack of investment in their PC ports.

I got it super cheap so there's that...I'll try in a few weeks after patches.

Huh.
Maybe I'm way off base then.
*shrugs*
I wonder why the recommended specs say 55GB free space. My installation is only 36.3GB.
Consoles don't have 8gB of VRAM, it's 8gB of all purpose ram, so it's both VRAM and regular RAM. So don't worry about that.

Yup. They needed way more time with this and were pressured with the release date. WB probably didn't want to delay this one due to all the hype so they just pushed it out. This port seems like it was 50% there.
Fix the stuttering, add in the AO and all the rain effects that missing.
It doesn't. PC has a pop-in bug which people are sometimes taking as meant to be the "real" texture.
well thats the definition of a memory leak

The mem leak I'm getting is limited to the vram, the game doesn't go over 3.9gb of ram for me.
This is what my CPU and GPU look like when I'm playing.
i7 4770k @ 3.5Ghz
16GB RAM
HD 7970
Getting 30FPS most of the time, we the occasional drop by 2-3 FPS. Once it dropped to 20FPS for God knows what reason.
My settings:
And I took a couple of screenshots:

From my personal experience, the game runs decently and is, imo, quite pretty, though there's a few things I have to ask questions about (what's up with the AA? Why the film grain? What the hell does Enchanced Rain do?)

This port also apparently runs like shit on cards with 12 GB of Vram. PS4's 8GB of GDDR5 isn't the reason behind turd.

I've been saying this since last night.
Even though the port is complete shit, I'm sitting around 70-80fps during most sections with 2 970s and everything maxed. It will drop to around 45 occasionally, but with a gsync monitor its basically not noticeable. I've been able to play around 5 hours without any sort of crashes or any issues. I also have 32GB ram which may be helping if there's a memory leak.
Unpacking, temporary storing those files somewhere, etc.
It takes more than 1gb of free space to move a 1gb file.
Getting my PS4 version tomorrow...i got the game for free on PC but this shows how WB and rocksteady outsourced this in such a short time it's ridiculous.

Even the Mortal Kombat X cards are broken.
I think this is a case of WB whipping the teams behind its ports. It's obvious these games should have been delayed.

The AA cannot be fixed.
There is Aliasing at 4K , with AA on.
I tried running this game on SLI 980s. -_-. Got a refund instead.

Where are the PS4 vs PC screenshot comparisons ? Guess we need to wait for the DF head to head
