what's up Tech fans Kevin here on check in tomorrow I'll just bring you guys really more of a quick PSA video I was originally planning on giving you guys a benchmark bid for Batman Arkham Knight which did get released today however if in case you haven't heard not exactly a good thing to do right now because the PC part of this game is atrocious first off when you start the game off you get an immediate slap in the face by seeing an enforced frame limit of 30 frames per second now the thing is it's actually really easy to turn that off you just have to edit the game system settings any file but honestly I really recommend not actually doing that because then other performance issues start to become a lot more apparent so first off if you turn that frame limit off this game is getting all full performance for how it looks on my system which includes a GTX 780 and an i7 4770k processor I was seeing at most 50 frames per second while running it on max settings at 1080p resolution which is not great but the other problem is with that frame limit turned off I also notice that the frame rate was incredibly inconsistent I was seeing it max out at 50 but it was constantly going back and forth back and forth between 50 and 25 which is just headache-inducing and honestly a lot worse than just dealing with a low frame rate now the thing is whether or not you have the frame limit on there's other performance issues you're going to see you right away including the fact that the screen will constantly stutter during certain situations for instance getting in or out of the Batmobile will make everything stop for a moment and completely mess with the experience and the final cherry on top there are a lot of textures in the game that simply look awful and just don't appear to be loading correctly at all now according to a lot of people that are playing the game on consoles they are experiencing zero issues so this is clearly a sign of the fact that it's just a problem with the port job for the PC version which Warner Brothers has admitted they actually outsource the job for that which really just cements in a trend that we've been seeing with WB games in that they really just don't give a shit about PC ports I mean just looking at the PC launch of Mortal Kombat X earlier this year which was abysmal and even looking at the other Batman game as Batman Arkham origins was unplayable for the first couple weeks after launch in Arkham City while it still didn't get released on the same day as consoles and had a little more time to be developed still with a lot of issues that needed fixing and the real shame is it seems like the really only huge downside of this game so far is the fact that the port job was done so terribly gameplay-wise I haven't seen any real problems I haven't experienced any game breaking books personally it's just the fact that it's really hard to enjoy this game when your framerate is constantly jumping around so with that in mind if you are thinking of picking up Arkham Knight on PC don't do it just not right now at least give it a few weeks pay attention to news reports because it's going to get fixed eventually but it's just not worth paying money right now if it's not going to work and if you did happen to already pick the game up and pick it up on Steam now is a very good time to remember that Steam does now have their refund policy in effect so if you haven't played the game too much yet get your refund now because it's just not worth playing if it's not a properly polished product yet you know like I said keep your ear to the ground pick it up once it starts working but for now just stay clear of it so that's all I really want to do a video on today about once the game is properly fixed and actually running smoothly I'll do a benchmark video in the future but for now that's just on hiatus as always if you guys enjoy our videos hit that thumbs up button to let us know and subscribe if you haven't yet we'll be seeing you soon with some more content until then I'm Kevin Kenton and you've been watching Tyga tomorrow
