Yet another shithole game that nvidia infected with Gameworks, or doesn't work. Its a cheap 200 pound bondo filler fix to a series that frankly holds no interest with their shit ideas about forcing a specific hardware. I hope the studio gets sued by users unable to get a refund and dies the horrible death it deserves.

The gameplay is actually very good and very fun , and the performance IS DECENT and above for anyone using a Midrange card and above .

No offense, as I don't have the game and can't comment, but that's hardly what's being reported.

However blaming this on gameworks strikes me as equally stupid.

Well , gameworks is a pos thats because performance problems reported on more than a few games , even more for us AMD owners ,some nvidia users hate it so much , and we AMD users even more as its Nvidia's attempt of entering propriety code that AMD cant optimize for , making contracts with major game developers that will not allow early access so they can optimize games , while nVidia always has some "fix this shitty game patch on day 1" .

BUT This game is not the case of Gameworks, it was a full programming dumpster of a port, very poorly ported by the developers rocksteady hired , but i think they shouldn't be threshed so hard , people that didn't play the game just thrash it so much , even when its actually a great game that got high scores on review , its only problem was the PC port as the game on X1 and PS4 is working fine as far as i know. and its alot better today than it was when it first showed up .

The game is nothing short of GREAT.
The performance is ok in most parts of the game. The Batmobil still is good for a lot of framedrops.


I was able to play the unpatched Version in 1080p Max Detail (Gameworks on) with 2x 980s. 1x dedicated to physics with 60fps. in 30 hours the game crashed "just" one time... and on another occasion i got the batman infinity fall bug. Thats it.

I agree that the graphics in no way justify the amount of hardware you have to throw at the game. If you are able to play it... PLAY IT.
Yes Warner Bros made a very bad port. But i don't want a refund. I had a great time with it and enjoyed every minute of gameplay.

So the solution of most people in this thread is not to play the game EVER, because they READ the port is bad? No one talks about the actual game anymore.

So how get Warner to fix it? Not to play the game is not an option.
