Batman - Arkham Knight

o wonderful... I downloaded it to about 70% last night and then turned my pc off. This morning when I tried to let it continue, the download started again from the start :cry:

EDIT: Looks like it might have reset to 0% because of a update file or something... Now I have to spend another day and a half redownloading the game.

Not necessarily.

Mine did the same, but I'm going to try this. Had to leave home before it could finish, but it was busy 'Discovering Existing Files', so I'm hopeful.

I tried playing this last night. It performed quite well on my PC (GTX 970), but I had the game lock up the first time you call the Batmobile. The next time, when I ejected from the Batmobile, it crashed to the desktop. I'm going to leave this game aside until they release a patch.
 
Any idea if a patch/new display drivers are going to be released soon?

As i am keen to buy the game but I'd prefer all the issues resolved first :)
 
I know a new AMD beta driver came out yesterday. No idea about Nvidia.

Probably the soonest we will see a "performance" patch is in 2 weeks.

Also I wonder what was going through their minds when they decided that they would lock the game to 30fps. I know someone already posted how to get past this, but it really doesn't make any sense to limit any pc game to 30fps.
 
I am so glad that Steam now allows refunds! Not that I have bought the game, but you can imagine the amount of refunds this game has got will be high.

The only thing I want to know is, what happens? Does it affect the publisher's bottom line? I really hope so, because otherwise they will do this over and over again.

Rocksteady responds to Batman: Arkham Knight debacle, makes fans more angry

The second episode of Batman: Arkham Knight’s PC story has not gone down well with the community.

Following on from yesterday’s response to complaints about the state of the PC version of Batman: Arkham Knight, developers at Rocksteady have today expanded on their initial response by offering recommended in-game graphical settings for users running minimum and recommend hardware.

The two sets of in-game settings were posted on the official forums, and consisted of settings that many fans found to be lower than what the hardware is capable of.

In particular, the recommended settings for the recommended hardware specs switches everything to ‘Medium’ and turns off all of Nvidia’s GameWorks features. The blog post added that these specs are intended for “an experience on par with the current generation of gaming platforms.” In the cases of either Minimum or Recommended, the aim is to reach a stable 30fps, according to the post.

Given how these specs require an i7 CPU and a graphics card more powerful than either console, many fans were rightfully livid. Across two different sub-Reddits, as well as the Steam forums, responses varied from disbelief to requests for refunds.

Not only that, but the blog post also lists AMD GPUs has being prone to texture pop-in and other issues. It then asks AMD users running recommend hardware specs to lower in-game settings even further.

There’s more through the link, including talk about the game’s streaming performance as well as an advice not to edit the game’s .ini files and to avoid using programs like GeForce Experience.

Anyone still waiting for Arkham Knight PC pre-order from BT Games? cos yesterday went to collect as expect as the staff say the PC version havent arrived due to shipping delay.

The article is a bit of hyperbole because they aren't saying the hardware is powerful enough, they are just saying, lower your settings until we sort this out.

Nonetheless, its pretty hilarious from where I'm sitting.

I didn't upgrade my 3d card for them to tell me to tone down the gfx. They better hurry up with a patch. Hopefully I'll be able to see how it performs on my pc tomorrow.
 
In the meantime, we wanted to provide recommended, in-game graphical settings for those with minimum and recommend specs hardware. We will provide recommended settings for the Ultra specs as soon as we are able to conduct more tests. At the bottom of this post, you can find additional information that may help alleviate some of the most frequent issues that some players are experiencing. Also, for reference, we have included a list of the minimum, recommended, and ultra hardware requirements.

If you purchased your copy of the game through Steam and are not satisfied with your experience, you can request a refund at https://help.steampowered.com (Steam refund policies can be found here: http://store.steampowered.com/steam_refunds).

Thank you for your patience as we work on resolving these issues and please be sure to check back for updates.

Minimum Hardware Specs
(or equivalent)
Resolution: 1280x720
V-Sync: Off
Anti-Aliasing: Off
Texture Resolution: Low
Shadow Quality: Low
Level of Detail: Low
Interactive Smoke/Fog: Off
Interactive Paper Debris: Off
Enhanced Rain: Off
Enhanced Light Shafts: Off
Expected: 30fps (capped)

It is incredibly important that users with a min spec video card with 2 GB of dedicated VRAM (or 3 GB on AMD) to keep the Texture Resolution set to Low. Increasing this to Normal will cause significant performance issues.

By default, the game may set the user’s monitor to the maximum output offered. Users should reset to 720p on min spec hardware.

With these settings on Min Spec AMD GPU’s, users can expect some minor texture pops, occasional loading symbols during fast-paced scenarios, and some hitches & stuttering when gliding or driving the Batmobile.

Recommended Hardware Specs
(or equivalent)
Resolution: 1920x1080
V-Sync: On
Anti-Aliasing: On
Texture Resolution: Normal
Shadow Quality: Normal
Level of Detail: Normal
Interactive Smoke/Fog: Off
Interactive Paper Debris: Off
Enhanced Rain: Off
Enhanced Light Shafts: Off
Expected: 30fps (capped)

The Recommended Spec is intended to deliver an experience on par with the current generation of gaming platforms.

For an optimal experience, users with recommended spec hardware should not set their resolution higher than 1080p.

By default, the game may set Shadow Quality and Level of Detail to High on Recommended Spec hardware. Users should revert these to Normal.

With these settings on Rec Spec AMD GPUs, users can expect some minor texture pops, occasional loading symbols during fast-paced scenarios, and some hitches & stuttering when gliding or driving the Batmobile. To help alleviate this, AMD users using Rec Spec GPU’s should turn Texture Resolution, Shadow Quality, and Level of Detail to Low. We continue to work closely with AMD to resolve these issues as soon as possible; make sure you have the most current drivers and check back here for updates on when the next driver version is available.

Additional Recommendations
We do not recommend that users change anything in the game’s .ini files as this will potentially negatively impact performance, including frame rate, and stability.

At this time we do not recommend using NVIDIA’s GeForce Experience or AMD’s Gaming Evolved Optimization tools.

We’re currently working on improving streaming performance from mechanical hard drives (HDD). Addressing this is one of our top short-term priorities.

For users that have an SSD available, we’ve noted increased streaming performance when the game is installed to that type of drive.

Once again, we’d like to stress the importance of having the latest drivers from your graphics card manufacturer. Staying up to date could potentially alleviate many performance issues, and will improve your game experience.

- NVIDIA GeForce users should use GeForce GameReady WHQL Driver version 353.30
- AMD users should use Catalyst 15.6 beta driver

Crossfire on AMD is currently not supported. This is to be addressed in a future driver update from AMD.

Eyefinity (multi-monitor) on AMD is currently not fully supported. This is to be addressed in a future driver update from AMD.

When running Nvidia SLI, using the NVIDIA Control Panel to set one card as a dedicated PhysX card may improve performance.

Players should not disable and/or edit the size of their page file. Windows manages this automatically, and leaving this at the default settings will provide an optimal experience when playing Arkham Knight. We strongly recommend that users avoid making edits to this.
