Lawl.If the following snapshot is true, the negative feedback wasn't appreciated
Yeah, thousands and thousands confirming the same issues on Reddit AND Neogaf. Maybe you aren't having any issues Column, but not all PCs are equal. Shoddy ports cause these issues - Shadows of Mordor on PC was the same thing (and I loved that game).
So official statement from the Studio is
Well I guess I'm thankful I'm having no issues, and playing on a 2 year old computer. I can buy all the stuttering, and memory leaks, but how come 5 of us in this thread are able to play over 30 fps if there is a cap?
They won't go into the specifics of what those problems are.

Getting 50 fps on a radeon 280, drops to about 40 if I turn on high level of detail (had to edit the .ini to change from max of 30 and I also fixed the stupid startup videos too). Few slight stutters here and there, no worse than the witcher. Updated to windows 8.1 to run newest drivers, but it actually ran fine on the older 14.4 catalyst too. No memory leak Ive noticed, had it running from this morning even in the background while I did other things and came back to it and it was fine.
Game is fun so far, one batmobile challenge course of the riddler was especially awesome. The main story seems a bit 'meh', hope it picks up later.

And on the same token because you are not having any issues along with 5 others here on the forums means the other thousands reporting it on multiple forums and a dedicated distribution site are all full of shit. :trainwreck:
Glad the game works well for you and you are having fun throwing a grappling hook from a Batmobile. (Seriously I mean that) But quit discounting the other thousands of complaints as he said she said when they are now investigating it. We should all be used to it by now anyway, and yes, Warner Brothers sucks as a publisher.

It's not just reddit, it's all over the internet. NeoGaf has a 71 page thread going on the issues.

And double wow. These comments are great at calling these bastards out on some shady business ethics.

I smell refunds and a possible lawsuit which will turn into a class action and lawyers make all the money.

Lawsuit is a bit over the top, but it does sound like they're gonna get slammed with refund requests, which they probably won't care much about since it's PC and not console.

I haven't noticed much problem on my end, but it looks like there's a plethora of actual problems that all could tie into performance issues:
The game itself is fun (I've played 3 hours so far) and I'm running on like.... a 760TI I think? I noticed stutter but I was pushing the settings a bit too. When I get home I'll probably do the file validation and play with the INI some, and if a patch comes out to remove the DRM (if it exists) I'll try to apply that as well. The game looks nice but no reason I shouldn't be able to run it higher than low.
- PC port was handled by the same 3rd party that did the Origins port, which was... not good at release. There's also a rumor they were given very, very little time with the game to build it out
- The pre-load on Steam was corrupted for tons of people after unpacking. There's a thread of people checking the integrity and it essentially re-downloads the game (~30-35 GB download to fix the integrity). Some people had significant improvement after the re-download, others it had no effect
- There's the same DRM as was on DA:I apparently, which can have significant drawbacks as far as performance goes. But the DRM isn't mentioned or listed anywhere officially, it's just what a pirate group said is in the game and why it wasn't leaked yet (as of sometime this morning)
- Some people are probably legitimately trying to run higher than they should for their specs, but it's impossible to tell the percentage for that.
- A lot more video options can be set in the INI file than in-game and some people have had good results tweaking it

I have enough on my backlog that I'll probably just wait a month or so for them to fix these issues
Uhh, can you read. I discounted the having to edit the .ini file to reach over 30 fps based on mine, and five others reaching higher then that on the PC. I clearly said that the other stuff could be caused by a wide array of issues even tho people that are streaming it, and the people on these boards were not having any issues.
Stop trolling bro, it doesn't smell good on you. But good look on that lawsuit, lmao.

I have a 970, did nothing to my ini's, and I was getting 60ish with mostly maxed settings and Nvidia Gameworks on. The only time I took huge frame hits (and I mean HUGE 2-3 second freezes) was anything involving the batmobile unless I was stationary or after I got to the riddler's first puzzle. PC Gamer had some fixes listed that I'm going to try when I get home.

You can always have Warner Brothers Marketing executives posting as regular gamers on other forums trying to shout down the complaints! Oh wait...
You? as I can direct the actions of Warner Bros Marketing? I know I'm a god, but hot damn.
I have no clue what that has to do with editing the .ini file to get over 30fps cap anyway. Oh wait it's UT posting...

I totally see a lawsuit. When a company goes in and changes minimum recommended PC spec 2 hours before the game unlocks in Steam because they cannot get it to work correctly with rec-spec AMD cards?
If people do not get a refund, which I am sure many are currently, there will be a class action. There always is. You should check out the historical class actions. Sounds like there are PLENTY that you do not know about. But that is why I hate class actions. No one ever knows about them, and no one sees anything out of them. Usually the company feels no pain whatsoever when they give away that $4.99 map via DLC as the "agreement", which some monkey being fed a footlong Sub and a diet coke made in an hour.
