GSY Tech PC PS4 Xbox One

While we found the Xbox One version of Batman: Arkham Knight to be quite impressive from a technical standpoint, PC players were in for a big surprise when they launched the game this morning. Indeed, it's hard not to be mad at Iron Galaxy, in charge of the PC port, and Warner Bros. for releasing the game in such a bad state. Framerate is all over the place even on a powerful rig (ours for example: i5 4670K @ 4.2 GHz, 8 Go RAM, Windows 8.1, SLI Nvidia Geforce GTX 970 Gigabyte OC) and it's oddly locked at 30 fps by default. Many people have also reported numerous crashes or momentary freezes, but we have been spared so far. The videos you'll find inside were captured from this morning's version of the game, before we edited the ini file to try to play at 60 fps. Since Steam is presently downloading the full game again, some of the problems might have been cause by preload issues. We'll let you know tonight, but for now, it looks a lot like the launch of Mortal Kombat X, another Warner Bros. fiasco on the PC scene.

Note: In the XB1/PC comparison video, there's a little bug with the scale of the graph but the plugin works perfectly and the numbers are good.

shame on all of them. This is why i rarely preorder games. Althought a preorder + consequent refund (thanks to new steam policy) would perhaps be even a better move against the publishers-developers. Not preordering a game can be a safe move for yourself, but preordering and asking a refund for this should be a more targeted move (more moral impact on the developers).

Damn, I usually do did not buy Batman games because of their extra effects for Nvidia cards. ATI was lagging behind with their refresh and the 9series from Nvidia has been mopping the floor with them and I needed a card from Shadow of Mordor. Long story short I grabbed a 970 and preordered batman + DLC for about $22 bucks after reading this I am beginning to regret actually even paying that...

Luckily for all the complete fools who pre-ordered you can atleast now get refunds on Steam.

I'm a fool that pre-ordered from a 3rd party site and got a steam key for $22 USD. I would be ticked if it was $59.99 that is reserved for greater fools though. heh

It wouldn't surprise me. Warner Bros. has to be the one to blame.

The funny part is that the PS4 and XB1 versions looks better in some aspects. PC is completely missing AO and rain shaders.

Man...the PC Master Race has been having it hard as of late. First Witcher 3, now this. I know it must feel bad, to spend all that money to have a nice rig, and game developers treat ya'll like old urine in a cup. I just want ya'll to know....that Loakum cares. That's why I'm offering free hugs, for the first 15 minutes....then it's 75 dollars per 30 seconds. It's the least I could do, for my fellow PC gamers.

What do you mean by first Witcher 3? The Witcher 3 runs great for many people, and the settings go far beyond what the consoles can do.
I can run it in 1080p / 60 with hairworks on and settings tweaked beyond ultra, while recording with shadowplay.

Meanwhile this looks worse than the PS4 version in some aspects, and runs terrible for most people even with high end rigs.
This is really the exception luckily.
Even AC Unity runs like a dream compared to this.

Could be wrong now that i read into it.

This is interesting as well. Only 12 people worked on the port.

The team at IG is pretty good. They worked on the Xbone Killer Instinct and have a decent amount of experience with port jobs. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they were given a tiny budget to work on this. This franchise kind of has a history of that sort of thing on PC.

I know, Your meaning wasn´t insulting, but I don´t understand, why this terms repeats on many places over internet. Are PC players such pain in the a**? I have PC and console and it´s obvious, that every platform has it´s own advantages.
