I’ll test this new patch out later and update everyone on the resul…
Oh never mind, I refunded this pile of dogsh1t months ago.
Good decision, even if they have fixed this mess now it doesn’t deserve any support after how they treated PC players in the first place.
+1
Never buying another Rocksteady game. Man they used to be so cool.
I don’t know how much to blame Rocksteady. It depends on whose choice it was to farm the work out to the studio that originally made this port. That is either Warner Bros or Rocksteady. Not sure who would have made that call.
All the Arkham games on PC have had various issues along way. This was just like the culmination in terms of f*#k ups. Can’t say it’s total disaster now, but still isn’t great compared to how it should run.
3DM should update their crack its been 2 months
You watch they will patch this until they get dual GPU support for Nvidia and AMD user’s only because they have more games on the way. Shame the games will only sell well on Console. It’s sad but who would of thought Ubisoft would have more 1,000,000,000X’s more faith from PC gamer’s then anything dealing with Rocksteady?
I mean ACS is freaking amazing next to Batman Arkham night and Siege just destroys Batman Ark Knight when it comes to performance. Just crushes it.
Hey John. My Batman Arkham Knight work very well in SLI 359.06. 2 GTX 980 no probleme at all. And i have a old CPU Xeon X5650 (OC at 4.2 Ghz) and 12 gig of Ram.
You’re joking right? SL is NOT supported in this game. I can guarantee that both of your cards are NOT working while playing Arkham Knight. I also have dual GTX980’s AND I am running 359.06 and ya… nothing.
I am not joking dude, just made a mistake! Normaly with the other Nvidia driver the second GPU was at 2-3 % so, not “working”. With this driver, i have more on the GPU number 2, 41 %. I now Vsync is lock to 60. … So ya a buggy game, but fun to play! 😀
