PC Gamers Reporting Issues With Batman: Arkham Knight - Update

[Ralancian]

Just out of interest what your computer like? Just trying to gauge where the issues are.

My PC is a core i7-4790, 16 gig ram and a Radeon R7 270(I'd have said earlier but I could not remember what my g card was)

Again I've had to turn everything right down but only from the in game menu not touched anything else.

EDIT: 270 NOT 290 stupid auto correct.

My specs are an I7-3770K, XFX HD 7970, and 16 gigs of ram. I have all the options turned down to low and the game still gives me fits. I can run The Witcher 3 on Ultra settings without any issues.

Sorry to re quote you but AMD released a beta 15.6 driver on Monday specifically to help optimise Arkham Knight (I only discovered this last night) performance has been vastly improved due to and a few others are reporting the same on steams page for it. Might be worth a go.

Slight annoyance here because it got pushed down the news list on steam due to the other announcements and thus I missed it and I'm sure other have too.

PC Generally is harder to port for, you have so many people using out of date systems, and many using high end systems that getting games to run on a huge scale is very hard, as aposed to the console market. At least someone in the world is going to have a problem, whether it be out of date drivers or not having the right specs.

Now admittedly, this was a huge fuck up, either by IG, WB, or even Rocksteady (which i doubt, but then Arkham City wasn't perfect at launch either) and they are definitely going to feel it, if they haven't already. WB and Rocksteady are definitely going to be more careful, they won't want this happening again that's for sure. Rocksteady has had a pretty good run so far, i suppose something was bound to happen eventually.

I wouldn't worry about PC Gaming though, this might just make devs a little more careful when creating a PC port. Or even delaying it for a while. (which tbf, maybe WB and Rocksteady should of done)

Yeah, I guess the variation in specs causes more of a problem.
But I thought the whole thing about this gen was supposed to be that PS4 and Xbone are both fairly similar to a PC now so they can all just run off 1 development fork or whatever they'd call it.

Developers are still learning to code for the xbox one and ps4, might be a while but eventually they will get the hang of it.

I finally got around to try it out and after one hour I've only seen one stutter that quickly solved itself. My PC was good back in 2013, maybe, so it's not because I run with a monster computer(GTX 660!).

That said, the controls for the Batmobile are fucking awful. Feels like I'm controlling the puck on an air-hockey table.

A similar case is Assasins Creed (whatever the latest one was in Paris) I remember reading news reports and people moaning day one about how broken it was. Whilst everyone I knew who actually owned said game reported very few minor issues if at all. The entire gaming player base on the internet mainly contains a bunch of whiny know it alls who like nothing better to ***** and moan.

so the fact that ubisoft themselves said ac.exe doesn't work means nothing? your argument pretty much boils down to fuck you got mine. so you and your friends were blessed by the gods and extremely lucky and didnt reach the problems the rest of us did it doesn't mean the rest of us don't have problems. i never got to a bug in skyrim but i still acknowledge that the game was a buggy mess. and that youtube fellow has a beast system and he has every right to expect the game to work as intented.
