Forums - PC Discussion - Arkham Knight runs like Assassin's Creed Unity on PC

Netty on 23 June 2015

I set everything to maximum detail, enabled all the NVidia Gameworks features, and ran the PC performance test. My average was 57fps.

After starting the game though, it does appear to be capped at 30fps.

Also, the game crashed on me during the cutscene the plays when you fly to the bat signal early on.

My specs:
CPU: Intel 4790k
GPU: NVidia GTX 980
RAM: 16GB

Aw shucks. Just read a article saying the PC version was dog shit.

there's a day one patch but we'll see, even if the ps4 is the lead console there's 0 excuses for 30 fps on PC.

If your main beef is 30fps, then you have nothing to complain about. Low set performance parameters is nothing compared to actual bugs, glitches and gamebreaking faults.


lol obviously you're not a pc gamer, pc is an open platform so yeah that could be my main beef and I could complain about it because rocksteady is a competent development, i think. anyway my main beef like you said is gross motion blur and gross micro stuttering at 30 fps, it's a shitty port. more information here: http://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonevangelho/2015/06/22/pc-version-of-batman-arkham-knight-is-hot-garbage-amd-and-nvidia-users-both-unhappy/

Game just crashed again and took my entire system down. I haven't seen that before. Aside from the crashes, good game.

PC GAMING!!!

Also, for what it's worth, the game looks very console-like when it's running. A few jumpy frames here and there when it's likely loading things in the background.

PS4 version seems to be running fine. The game is amazing so far btw

On PC to get 60fps you need to manually edit a text file at
steamappscommonBatman Arkham KnightBMGameConfigBMSystemSettings.ini

Change MaxFPS=30 to MaxFPS=60

Annoying but it works

I am a PC gamer, but I eschew the PC master race BS. I am happy to play PC games on minimum setting because I think high performance gaming rigs are a waste of my money, and the excess is better spent buying a console that gives me a broader games library than an expensive gaming rig alone can provide. I absolutely hate the idea of 30fps on the one online MP game I do play (Smite) because it causes a major disadvantage in competitive play. So I recognise when 60 (or more) fps is important, but I also recognise when it is not. For a single player game like AK fps is irrelevant as long as its stable and it's at 30 or more, IMO of course. Now that you have identified other actually important issues you have a much stronger point. It was odd that in your first reply to me the only fault you mentioned was 30fps, when clearly there are more important problems than that.

yeah my bad, but it seems like they capped the framerate because they knew about the bad performance.
