So far NVidia users are realising that the game runs like absolute ass, and turning off the NVidia nonsense helps only mildly. The game is also locked to 30FPS, but that can be changed in the .ini file.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Batman Arkham Knight\BMGame\Config

Open the following file with a text editor like Notepad: BmSystemSettings.ini

Press CTRL+F to search, and paste the following line:

MaxFPS=30.000000

Press "Find"

Now edit the 30.000000 value to set desired your desired FPS.

If you want to cap the game at 60FPS, the string should look like:

MaxFPS=60.000000

Arno and Geralt did some wonderful and sometime impressive investigations; with their eagle and witcher's vision. Now it's the time, for the once known world greatest detective with his top of the line gadgets to show his prowess. Ladies and gents, The Batman!

looks very good, but i use all of my vram and 6gb system ram with 1x asus gtx 980 strix in 5760x1080 and max settings. Is that normal?

 

[rtwjunkie]

Soooo...I should probably hold off on this a bit, huh?

 

[st2000]

with mine config everything maxed(textures are normal, cant change this) 52-60 fps during walking, 25-55 during flying and 22-45 during driving
tried different options and that havent helped, any settings provide this performance

I should probably hold off on this a bit, huh?

i'd advice you to wait a bit, this game is like unity if you know what i'm talking about

 

[gasolin]

I got it with my gtx 980, it looks good and the handling is easy to understand (how you control batman)

monitor resolution?

 

[st2000]

monitor resolution?

1080p

Yeah, day 1 patch isn't enough, better off waiting for the end of the week at this stage. It's 50/50 right now. It either works beautifully, or breaks horrendously.

10 bucks says its GameWorks issues again (like Witcher 3, only less pretty).

EDIT: Don't use the latest Game Ready driver, roll back one version. It solves half of it, but batmobile driving is still terrible. Also this game eats memory like mad.

 

[Ebo]

I was absolutely ready for this game, then this morning I saw gasolin's post on a danish techsite.....so now im in a waiting mode(again)

Held og lykke med spillet Gasolin .

vram memory or system ram?

 

[RCoon]

vram memory or system ram?

Both!

 

[LightningJR]

Both!

I have 32GB of RAM but only 2GB of VRAM

 

[Ebo]

I have 32GB of RAM but only 2GB of VRAM

From I understand on gasolins post early this morning, the game will eat up all it can.
It took up all of his ram on GFX and on the system.

Batman Arkham Knight Issues Spare No One Is Capped At 30 FPS On PC – Nvidia Users With Game Ready Drivers Suffering From Severe Stuttering, Flickering And Crashes

http://wccftech.com/nvidia-encourag...-batman-arkham-knight-due-performance-issues/

 

[gasolin]

must admit i havn't have any problems with the game so fare, only played batman for 46min, i tried lowering the graphic setting (not shure if i had to restart the game to enable the lower setting) but pc performance test in batman stayed at around 40 fps with a stock asus gtx 980 strix and 5760x1080.

But it looks good more or less in the same league (how good it looks) as bioshock infinite, bf3-4 crysis 3-4

Haven't had any expertation to how the game was, it surprised me in both ways, looks good and easy to control, but high vram,system ram (more then crysis 4 at same fps) and the low fps

 

[bubbleawsome]

Game has a massive memory leak, 30fps cap, and is just generally broken.

Oh, and SLI is also broken on a gameworks title. A guy with SLI 980s and a 4.7Ghz 4790k is dropping to 17 fps sometimes, and is having a hard time keeping anything above 40.

Steam reviews are dropping to 0% and refunds everywhere.

Good people can get there money back, might make someone think about fixing batman

 

[RCoon]

I heard they employed a third party company to port it for them, instead of porting it themselves. Entirely speculation however. But considering the console version is getting 5 star reviews while the PC version gets refunds, might be a point to look into.

Which is a shame...

 

[erocker]

For a game that Nvidia basically helped develop, they sure dropped the ball. Nvidia needs to light a fire under the asses of their driver team. Awful.

 

[Steevo]

THE WAY IT'S MEANT TO BE PLAYED!!!!!



Edit: Text not big enough. Also, it looks like comic sans, which considering the brutal fucking Nvidia is giving everyone with this, makes it all right.

 

[Fluffmeister]

Nooooo!!!!11 Not another dodgy port! Gonna try this tonight with a healthy dose of cold beers and see if it's as bad as they say.

 

[Easy Rhino]

Don't people get bored of these types of games after awhile? Walk here, punch this guy, cut scene. Fly here, punch this guy, cut scene. Drive here, throw a boomerang at this guy, cut scene...

 

[bubbleawsome]

I've heard the same thing as rcoon. I believe that they had a 3rd party port it.
