Yea then I'm not sure when it will be out. Can't be too long, having a game that can't be sold does not do them good I'm sure they know that. I'd expect in the next 2 weeks or so it should be available.

FULL STORIES HEADLINES



3:07pm
Progress Update and Patch: June 27, 2015

Community Announcements - gary.lake-schaal
Rocksteady is leading our team of developers and partners as we work on the PC performance issues that players have been encountering. The work is significant and while we are making good progress on improving performance, it will take some time to ensure that we get the right fixes in place.

Below is the list of the key areas where we are dedicating our resources to improve the experience for our loyal fans:

  • Support for frame rates above 30FPS in the graphics settings menu
  • Fix for low resolution texture bug
  • Improve overall performance and framerate hitches
  • Add more options to the graphics settings menu
  • Improvements to hard drive streaming and hitches
  • Address full screen rendering bug on gaming laptops
  • Improvements to system memory and VRAM usage
  • NVIDIA SLI bug fixes
  • Enabling AMD Crossfire
  • NVIDIA and AMD updated drivers
While we work on improving performance, we will also continue to make interim patches available to address issues for those still playing the game on PC. The first patch is being released now and the updates include:

  • Fixed a crash that was happening for some users when exiting the game
  • Fixed a bug which disabled rain effects and ambient occlusion. We are actively looking into fixing other bugs to improve this further
  • Corrected an issue that was causing Steam to re-download the game when verifying the integrity of the game cache through the Steam client
  • Fixed a bug that caused the game to crash when turning off Motion Blur in BmSystemSettings.ini. A future patch will enable this in the graphics settings menu
We would like to thank our fans for their patience and invaluable feedback. We will continue to monitor and listen for any additional issues.

Patch is really small (67.7MB), I thought it would be bigger..

Going to test it out and see if it made any difference.

Well, despite the patch being quite small, it made a surprisingly large difference. IQ is definitely better now that the rain textures are functioning properly, and ambient occlusion is being applied.

Also, the game is definitely smoother than before. Not as smooth as I'd like, but it's an improvement and a step in the right direction.

How do you get it?

They are calling the disabled rain effects and AO a bug?

It seems intentional to me. The developers were desperate to get the game out and stripped these features in order to mitigate the horrible performance. They can't fool PC gamers though.

Steam downloads it automatically.

On another note, the rain texture bug is still there with SLI turned on. I had SLI turned off for Batman Arkham Knight, but after turning it on I noticed that the rain texture bug came back..

Do we have ANY word from WB about a patch or are we just WISHFULLY hoping it "should not be long...?"

I really think you guys need to relax, it's a videoGAME. Also stop by the first world problems thread in OT and check in.

I still get dips in the 20's right at the start when jumping from very high up. This is on max settings. And the visuals are still lackluster, imo.

AC Unity was only horrible on release (although I played it at 1440p ultra quality 60 FPS from the get go). The patches eventually fixed most of the problems on PC.

For the consoles (the PS4 in particular), the low frame rates were never fixed.. Plus you're locked at 900p..

All in all, AC Unity is a much better game on PC than it is on the consoles..


Agreed Assassin Creed Unity runs pretty good on my system and has nice visuals to back it up.

Is it back on sale on STEAM yet? I haven't looked...

**EDIT - that would be a NO...

According to that article, they may not re-release the PC version until as late as this fall! Unfortunately, others are probably better off getting it for console if they have PS4/XB1 and are itching to play. I'm glad I'm in the minority of people who are not having issues on the PC, it really is an awesome game so far.

Story gets even uglier:

http://kotaku.com/sources-warner-br..._source=Kotaku_Facebook&utm_medium=Socialflow

You can’t buy Batman: Arkham Knight for the PC right now. Warner Bros. pulled it from digital and physical shelves last week, after players found that the PC version had critical performance issues. From what sources tell Kotaku, however, this shouldn’t have been a surprise for Warner Bros.

“I will say that it’s pretty rich for WB to act like they had no idea the game was in such a horrible state,” said one quality assurance tester who worked on the game for years. “It’s been like this for months and all the problems we see now were the exact same, unchanged, almost a year ago.”

Two sources, requesting anonymity to avoid jeopardizing their careers, spoke with Kotaku over the past week in hopes of explaining how the broken PC version of Arkham Knight made it out the door. They both said that Warner Bros. was aware of the many issues facing Arkham Knight on PC and that the publisher chose to ship the game regardless, not to maniacally screw over customers—but because they believed it was good enough.

Warner Bros. did not return my multiple requests for comment.

After suspending sales of Arkham Knight on PC last Wednesday, the company pointed fans towards Steam’s refund page and promised to do right by players:

We want to apologize to those of you who are experiencing performance issues with Batman: Arkham Knight on PC. We take these issues very seriously and have therefore decided to suspend future game sales of the PC version while we work to address these issues to satisfy our quality standards. We greatly value our customers and know that while there are a significant amount of players who are enjoying the game on PC, we want to do whatever we can to make the experience better for PC players overall.
