WB Games Vows To Fix 'Batman: Arkham Knight', Add CrossFire Support, Raise Framerate Cap

And this is why I no longer buy games new.

I wait for them to go on sale @steam (after being out for plenty of time) before I purchase and all the early adopters have finished beta testing the game.

Its win win for me. Game is cheaper, far less bugs, and guaranteed playable!

Well I was a Project Cars early release buyer (test team member). It was out for over two years prior to being released two months ago. Both PC and PS4 users each have their own different set of problems that are being addressed (twice now, second major patch is in the works). While it is definitely playable and enjoyable it, too, wasn't without big problems...and it had been in Beta/early release for over two years by users worldwide! I have not had any problems with my current Beta/early release racer, DiRT Rally...yet. It is to be released this fall for both PC and console.

With that said, both Witcher 3 and Arkham Knight, both of which I got free with a second GTX 970 purchase last month, have been massive rollout disappointments. As upset as I am about something I got for free, I cannot imagine the anger and resentment for full price/pre-order buyers.

Vote with your wallets, folks. And with all the social media available to us today unlike 10 years ago (developer/publisher Facebook, Twitter, etc.) they need to hear us roar. Vote with your wallets and let them know it. The louder the chant, the more rumble in the stadium seats, the more they'll take notice. A quiet boycott goes unnoticed.

"The largest complaint from the gaming community was the PC version's 30 fps cap."

No, Derek, don't take it easy on them. The biggest complaint is that it cost $60 for a supposed AAA title that was half-baked (so to speak) on release. Consumer disappointment, in this case, isn't the result of a lack of features, but rather a lack of completion and quality that is seen by most as a pervasive disrespect for customers (the most recent case of a frustrating chain). Releasing the game with the blatant flaws that it had was either incompetence or indifference, calling it anything less is sugar coating the situation.

Can we get a high res texture pack? It's 2015. -_-

Even at max settings and resolution, the game looks like it's rendering in a lower resolution then what you have set in your settings, and then upscalling it to whatever your actual setting is. Image quality is absolutely horrid even at 1920x1200.

It looks like your looking through a dirty glass window when looking at batmans armor.

With all the problems and stuff, WB and Rocksteady need to give us PC gamers who pre-ordered, a season pass for free. Their season pass prices are crazy high at $40.

They need to compensate the pc preorder people. And i'm not talking about 1 arkham story series, they need to give us the whole season pass.

That would be unfair then to those who purchased the premium edition or the season pass. If anything they should offer a game instead so no one is out money because refunding all those people would be a nightmare.

This is what EA did with Sim City. They let every single person who had a copy registered through origin, pick a consolation game between stuff like Dead Space 3, or Mirrors Edge, or Battlefield 3(I think it was 3 then).
And Simcity launch was only a couple days of downtime because of server overload.

Not to mention the severe issues Project Cars has with anything AMD based.

Disabling nvidia gameworks did the trick for me. Although I am still facing some stutter issues but the game is more playable then before. Also it is not crashing in between the game which I was really annoyed with.
