I can run it fine...at the capped 30 FPS and over 50 percent of my RAM being used. FPS can apparently be unlocked in the ini somewhere. I'll try that tonight and see what it does to my 980, but damn it eats up RAM, has few graphical settings and is clearly unoptimized. So, of course they didn't send out review code for PC. Pathetic.

Well there is also third-party DRM that the steam store page doesn't even mention (it's required to let the customer know of any third party DRM's on steam). Even worse is that it's DRM is Denuvo, a program that is designed to make it harder to circumvent DRM and has been accused of causing performance issues or excessive read/writes on the disk.

Damn, this drama came out of nowhere.

Huh.

Wonder if there'll be mass refunds on Steam.

Staying tuned.

It is not hype for me, but the previous Arkham games were good in terms of port. I remember how the ppl bitched about the Arkham Origins, and everybody said that Rocksteady will show them how it's done. Well, there it is.

Origins was ok. Nothing stellar, inferior to City and Asylum but still enjoyable.

I wonder what they'll do. No official statement yet? At least Ubisoft offered a game for every people who bought the season pass of Unity for 25€.
What will they do for their terrible 40€ season pass?

Borderline related to topic but I have to mention this

Those accusations so far have not been proven in any attempt, Denuvo is not exactly DRM, it's anti-tamper, it checks for execution code, does not let you reverse engineer. It does not do any constant read/writes to disk either and all that is FUD caused by early reports from some filmsy site that has been spread around.

So to my knowledge and according to results, claims that Denuvo is "DRM that does a lot of read/write" is total effin bullshit.

On a more related note, reading the statement on their forums, it sounds the PC version was outsourced to another company

Well, apparently the PC port was done by the same "external PC development partner", Iron Galaxy, for both Arkham Origins and Arkham Knight... :dead:





Oh, and by the way, the game is using Denuvo DRM without disclosing that on Steam. Nice... >:(

Good for you. But apparently many PC gamers had issues with Arkham Origins at release. No so much tech related but bug related.

But yeah, I don't get neither why they fucked up that PC port of Arkham Knight on the technical level so badly this time. One would think that they've learnt something while porting Origins...

As stated in detail in previous post:

Denuvo is not DRM, it is anti-tamper, it checks if you're injecting your own code into game runtime, that's all. It does not manage your "rights" or do excessive disk read/writes, that's nonsense.

Sure, it's called whatever PR wants it to be called. But yeah, it's basically the old copy protection, like Starforce. Which has pretty much the same purpose than DRM...

Always following the old saying "it's not a bug, it's a feature".

I exchanged a spare code of TW3 for Arkham Knight, so at least I didn't have to pay for it. Game is good so far [gameplay wise, story is bananas], it's just the performance that's messed up.

I unlocked the framerate and I'm able to keep sixty FPS... most of the time. When I glide, it dips into fifties, when I drive Batmobile it can go as low as forty. No such problems during the fights... suprisingly. I guess I wouldn't mind that much if it wasn't for the fact that you drive a lot in this game... too much.
