Batman: Arkham Knight (performance issues)

Same here, I'm gunning to play it but not gonna touch it.

Might pick it up in a steam sale Xmas 2016 of something, on the very cheap.
I've waited another 6 months to play it, what's another year? (leave Johnny Logan out of this)

I actually dabbled in this for the first time over the weekend in a friends house on Ps4. Really enjoyed it and it looked GORGEOUS on PS4.

With WoW back in full swing, I'm struggling to find time to fit Batman in, but need to finish Arkham City and Origins before dipping into this. But I'm hearing at this point there was a few patches that has the game playing grand on PC now. That the general consensus?

It's being sitting in my Steam library un-downloaded since release : /

Unfortunately not. It doesn't really seem to have fixed it, in that it's not working for everyone. Your mileage may vary and it may work fine for you but it's not a sure thing.

It works mostly fine for me with most settings maxed on an i5/970/16gb machine, stutters here and there but nothing terrible, vastly improved over the initial abomination that was released.

Is that you "accepting" it just to play it or is it playable?

Something which I've noticed here, and elsewhere, is the amount of people making excuses for a multi million euro company, as if they are friends or something.

pleasant Co.

What? "Accepting"? Would you kindly get a grip.

Sorry you being the only person who owns this game who has managed to run it maxed with "nothing terrible" implies you just "accept" the state of it or........

pleasant Co.

im the only person? my previous post seems even more appropriate.

Sorry @TheDoc, hope you get additional helpful feedback, I won't aid in dragging away from your question further.

The game would run lovely for me for about an hour, then the memory issues would kick in and the game would grind to a halt.

Overall I was happyish with the game, aside from the clusterfcuk issues at the start.

Since I got the game cheap with the intention of upgrading to a 970, I tried it out on my 6870. From all the stories I was expecting it to be completely unplayable on my card, but am as far as

Dropped Ivy off at the police station

.

Not the smoothest experience but unless things get a lot worse later on, I can play it the whole way through.

There was multiple people on launch who reported no issues. I know two friends were able to play the game to completion without issues.

Due to the nature of the port, there was numerous different affects and issues and while the majority were affected, there was minorities of gamers who were not.

So I'm just asking about recent patches have solved it, as I keep leaving it off and popping in to see if it works.

I also made my feelings known when it first happened, got over it very quickly, and didn't feel the need to light torches and grab my pitchfork. A developer that has made a tremendous series of games, made a ****up. I'm willing to let it slide and hope they learn their lesson. Indication from console gamers is this was a tremendous game, and a fitting finish to the series.

Maybe I'm just playing PC games longer then most to realise some games being a mess on launch isn't a new phenomenon, as many would like to make out...

I wish that I could afford to write off cash so easily

I paid like €35-40 for the game and season pass from an online retailer, cant remember which at this stage.

But I'd argue if anyone stress' over €35-40, then they should be extremely selective in the games they buy and wait for a good bit for reviews etc.

I see the game is up for a lightning deal on Amazon. Its already at £25 for PS4, so with a further discount will probably pick it up there. Inject some life into my Ps4 and no messing around waiting for patches

From i ve read most people are having no problems if they have enough ram on mid-range cards. might grab another two sticks if i see it on sale

At least arkham city is filling the void, and that game looks great on extreme maxed out

Ah I got ya, it's our own fault for spending the money and having the guile to expect a working product

Is this worth picking up at this stage.? I see the main game and season pass going for €18 at the moment??

It's risky. I had a few FPS issues now and then, a big stutter, but it didn't break the gameplay at all for me as the story itself was fantastic and made it worth it.

If it's on Steam then pick it up, if it's crap then you can refund it if you've less than two hours played.

Kiith

I managed to get it working pretty much perfectly with some messing around at launch, and it was a really enjoyable game. Definitely worth playing if you've enjoyed the series. Hopefully at least some of the issues have been fixed.

Not a good call on my part picking this up cheap. Keeps crashing on the main intro and any work arounds I find online I cant make sence of.

Kiith

What are the workarounds suggested? I'm pretty sure i had to do a few of them to get things working, so might be able to help.

The intro problem seem to be common and this workaround is suggusted on most site, it wont work for me though.

Saw a guy on Adverts paying 110 for a 7750 (:eek:) to play Arkham Knight....

As if the fact that the 7750 can't run the game isn't bad enough, the machine it was going into is a Dell with a Core 2 Duo processor!

I know some people got by playing the game on low, but somehow I don't think he'll be happy with about 8fps at lowest settings and resolution :eek:

Bit unfair if it's been sold as gaming rig, with claims that it will run

Shiminay

A cursory search would tell you that a 7750 is a poor card and not worth anything near €110 to be fair.

Cery true but you can imagine some parent getting this for a kid,not having a clue. Hardly a fool, would rather if adverts allowed a comment section (in conjunction with the regular set up)

Had the game running perfectly on a dual nvidia 580 gtx later running in a single 980 ti. Maybe just lucky.

TerrorFirmer

980Ti is a €700 euro card, if it didn't run well on that.....:P

Dual 580's is also still a strong combo (maybe apart from vram limitations in 1.5gb models), would be similar/faster compared to an R9 380/GTX960 class card.

Also found using an ssd helps with load times

I got this because I was told the bugs were gone, BUT..
I played for 3 hours the other day and now when I go to load my save game it crashes straight to desktop with a fatal error.
If I go to start a new game it loads ok. So it's just the save file is the problem...? Is there a fix or a way to rollback to a previous save file through Steam?
I've got an i5 and a GTX 1060 6GB, it runs very smooth just having this problem now..

There might be a backup save that you can revert to. See here;

I'm now running a 6900X with dual 1080ti, and an ssd.


I think I'll boot this game up tonight and see what the performance is like now.

Updating the gfx drivers seemed to fix it. Strange as the old drivers worked a few days ago.

Around that, yeah, but was able to salvage few things from other system.

I got the game gifted to me but will have to wait for miners to allow me buy a 1070 or AMD to sort out their 56 supply and pricing.

Billy86

To be fair I had the game work about perfect (apart from some stuttering on the airship, though that's only a brief part) on a 970 with an i5 6600K when I bought it earlier in the year.
