I see now, thanks. It really must be frustrating to have that much power in your computer and not exploit its potential.
It is incredible that my laptop can still meet this minimum requirements.
Gaming Batman Arkham Knight
- Thread starter Sarni
- Start date
Not sure if that'll be enough though man, from what I can figure /v/, reddit and NeoGAF are basically on fire with the number of livid people who have rigs well able to handle recommended, not minimum, specs, and for whom the game is basically unplayable.
Time will tell I suppose.
30 fps on 1080 cant be considered flawless by todays standards
Am thankful the PS4 version appears to be pretty much flawless.
you have to understand that today is all about resolution . at 1080p this game is not so demanding , its an old engine witch should run smoothly on medium gaming cards on 1080p and medium to high settings . This game runs bad on the best cards because its badly made and not optimized for the Pc port .
It runs ok on the ps4 because its FPS capped at 30 witch is a laugh and has 720p or 1080p (not sure )
I would love games to run at 1080p 60fps on this gen of consoles, but that is not looking likely.
I will take a solid 30fps and 1080p for an open-world game like this.
I see, it's a bit of joke to lock PS4 games to 30fps.
My mate was a developer on this I think. If there is a minor character called Sgt. Hanrahan, that's his name being used
Watch from 5:55
I'm aware they're joking or whatever but still, that community almost makes me happy that the PC release is a colossal balls up.
fecking day one patches. 3.6gb. The Sony servers are so slow. Even on 60meg fibre it's saying 6 hours. Tried to start without the update, get to the main screen, click start game only to be told I have to wait 5 hours while it installs.
Put the PS4 into rest mode as it seems to download quicker.
Still glad I didn't get it on PC though.

I've played a little bit so far. The graphics on the PS4 look fantastic - almost as good as the screenshots on the other page. I'm really not liking the Batmobile thus far, it just seems too puzzle-like and not free flowing enough incorporating it into missions. I sure hope it's not a constant feature throughout, otherwise I feel I'll slog through the game as opposed to non stop immersion like I had with The Witcher 3.
How long did yours take to install? I have about an hour left on the day one update but the install still says 4hours.
My PS4 install was corrupted and was stuck at 70% for four hours, and to make matter worse it was the downloaded version so I now have to download the whole thing again. 100Mb speed and I'm getting about 200Kb because of PSfeckingN.
This is exactly how Nazi Germany must have felt.

Well that's some attitude considering they are practically the same versions and they've clearly ballsed them all up, hence the 30fps caps lock papering the cracks and the day one patch. With more to follow.
In fact, PC gamers are used to having to fix these things themselves, whereas PS4 gamers are also getting a watered down product for their system to suit the XBone. What's the point in all that extra power if it's held back to the weakest machine anyway?
Oh and although the PC master race thing has always been a joke, I'm sure there are some idiots who actually believe it
Sigh, I pre-ordered this. Or ordered it, not even sure when it releases, is it today?
Is the day one patch only for PS4 users then ? Because I brought the disc version(Xbox One) and there wasn't a patch(Just the normal install).
I think it's to do with the exclusive DLC.
Isn't 60fps difficult for open-world game?
I pre-ordered last night on PSN so the whole thing downloaded itself overnight. The patch stuff/update file, whatever it is, is still downloading. Has about 500mb left but it says 4 hours left.

It's no fault of the platform if devs feck up like this (most likely due to publisher pressure). This is not at all representative of what pc gaming is like, at least not these days. I remember having to fiddle with configuration files in DOS and trying to get your sound blaster sound card to work for each game as a kid.. those were the days. Now everything is basically plug and play and works great.
Up to the first Boss fight and I swear I'm about to feck the tv out the window.
More and more PC releases are DOA, it seems like every major AAA game is riddled with bugs on PC.
This shit just got taken to another level...
There are some issues on PC, but i'm sure they will address them with patches soon. So far the biggest complaint is the 30 FPS limiter which can be disabled with a simple ini tweak.
Gaming Dragons has it for only 20 bucks right now. I pulled the trigger because I just finished TW3 and have pretty much nothing to play until Fallout 4 comes out. I can confirm they are legit but they give you the nvidia promo code, you have to redeem it on steam yourself. So if you can get that code from a friend or off ebay for cheaper then go for it.

It's because the consoles are easy to develop for and there are subtle differences to PC development. It's just down to shit and rushed technical departments. It's an old engine and they still can't get it right.
Oh, and I'll point this out, the problems are mainly with unlocking higher fps. If you did that on the consoles, the problems would be much worse.
So it's not well made on any machine, this is the same way they discovered Watchdogs was ropey too.
No, not really, it all depends what that world is doing and how they store the data. In fact thanks to lod and all that it can be easier to tailor an engine to run on an expansive world than an indoors scene.
That's a recent myth people come out with to explain low framerates, but it's not true for the most part.
No, it's that tweak that has exposed the engine problems. It's one thing to hold the PS4 back to the XB1 levels, but why would they do it on PC? The answer is clear, because it's papering over the cracks.
Oh okay thanks for clarifying Lambs.
So, it's just developers fault(lazinesss?) for this or it's difficult to do in an Arkham world?
Anyone got any impressions of the game for us not based on performance?
It seems that way. Why would having a more powerful machine cause slow downs at higher framerates? I'd guess it's a memory issue, neither the PS4 nor PC has need for the memory bridge trick on the XB1, so an educated guess is they borked the texture system.
If that is the case, it's not a difficult fix, but it could also be Weaste's old complaint of trying to utilise multiple cores and messing it up.
Played for an hour so far, hope it's not too reliant on using the batmobile hope there's plenty of on foot sections, liking it so far though
Ahh, I've just seemed they farmed out the job to a dedicated PC team. That makes the feck up even worse considering the engine has been about for years.
Amateurs.

This is incredible.
Yes, they got Iron Galaxy to do the PC Port. They also did the PC port for Origins.
That makes me suspect the memory side even more. Because the only real difference between this gen and last gen's engine is the xbox's memory system. (Now Cell is out of the equation that is).
It isn't like consoles are somehow immune to bad ports , does AC: Unity ring a bell ? Watchdogs ? Orange Box on PS3..etc
The PS4 version of Arkham Knight will be just a borked if you tried to unlock the 30fps too.
I'm still downloading the fecking game. 100Mb fecking broadband and after five hours I'm at 40%...
Burn them. Burn them all.
Burn them. Burn them all.
not sure , some reporting drops to 2-3 fps on gtx 970 without the fps unlock to
