Funny thing, the Premium Edition that includes the season pass costs 1499rub.
Yep, I'm getting stuttering and bad streaming pop-ins when flying over the city.
The "lesser rain effects when resuming from a saved game" bug is still there in full force. In spite of all my tweets and emails, they've never acknowledged the issue, so I'm not surprised. It's a shame, though, since I can't help feeling like playing the PS4 version instead with the proper effects in place.
I feel a tad silly for having waited to play the PC version.
rain bug still there, are you fucking kidding me?
Did this JACK ALL on my end. It's exactly the same as the previous patch. The stuttering is still there. Framerate always drops when you move the camera around. Framerate during the Batmobile always drops to below 50 no matter what is going on.
But the worst is the stutters. I'm talking full fucking seconds worth of stutters. I finished the game like that, but I was hoping to play new game+ with ACCEPTABLE performance. I guess not.
NOBODY FUCKING BUY THIS GAME

I'll just pretend WB is trolling us at this point.
I just want performance improvements.

Yep, still there. It's like Kezen put it, "(...) they just don't care enough."
It's baffling, right? After all this time, after all the feedback from the community.
It's possible AMD need to release better drivers for the game, it being very CPU limited means AMD drivers are holding back performance.
I'm sorry I know it won't improve your situation but AMD have their fair share of responsabilities in the performance of this game. It runs much better on Nvidia cards because of drivers, except obviously when you are completely GPU bound.
Jesus Christ, what the fuck were they thinking. Do they assume we're all idiots and will trust that the game is fixed simply because it's back up on the store page, without even verifying it? They honestly can't expect people to want to purchase it knowing that it's still broken.
I really hope eurogamer and other sites jump on the re-release and analyze the performance quickly. It'd be nice to make it as clear as possible to the community that this isn't resolved.
I can see it now...

Yep, still a mess on my end as well. *sigh*
That free Batman games bit is kind of BS too, as most everyone who bought this probably had the other ones (minus Blackgate) as well.

Hmmm, i have the season pass yet most of the DLC is still there for purchase and i don't have it.
I used a key to get the game and season pass.
I thought all the DLC was going to be made available for season pass holders?

Try adding the individual DLCs to your shopping cart. It should tell you that you already own them when you try to check out.
Also, I heard that people that own the Premium Edition are having problems with not all the DLC showing up.
you expect them to be generous?
Sucks to hear that there are no real improvements with the preformance. Still not playing this until they fix it. I only have to 2 1/2 hrs logged in this game since it launched.
I don't own any of the other Batman games on PC so that's a pretty cool compensation to get all of them for free.

I've been patiently waiting to play this. It's still sat there in my Steam library, unplayed. I was waiting for the big PC update to fix it.
Really sad to hear it's still broke.

have you tried restarting every 20 minutes or purchasing 12GB of RAM

The performance is still rather unreasonable considering that it cannot maintain 60 even if you drop all the settings to low.
See this video I just made @ the lowest settings.
Either I am so CPU bound that the game just cannot main 60 no matter what settings are chosen, or they built a texture/object streamer that does not scale correctly to high framerates and is prone to stalling. Given how the game runs on console-tier CPUs, I at least expect the game to scale in settings and hardware: aka, be a proper port. It drops frames so often, it is kind of absurd. Is it better than the console version? Yes, but that is not good enough.
I am curious if minimum 60 fps is capable on any rig. Anyone out there with a better CPU want to duplicate the test I made above?

It sounds like the people with the Premium Edition got a smaller patch than those with the Base Game + Season Pass. Not 100% sure though...

Yours is better. Care to make the same test?

is that the very first time you use the batmobile in the beginning of game? cuz thats the furthest ive played
I don't think 60 locked is achievable period, not in its current state at least.
The quick-fire gadget stuttering is not fixed, same for the 0.5s pauses when entering a new area.
I would not say it's not better than any console versions on capable hardware (you can still get better visuals at locked 30fps) but it indeed leaves much to be desired.

Yep.
Takes about 5 mins to get there. Talk to gordon and then just punch the dudes harassing the cop.

Thinking the benchmark might be some bullshit. But I am getting some good performance in-game while playing. I would say average 60s. No stuttering also.

How is it possible to get "no stuttering". My game does stutter more than I'd like especially driving the batmobile. No huge framerate drops at 1080p but noticeable pauses every now and then.
Driver related perhaps.

Well, the dlc isn't triggering to download for me yet even with restarting steam and such, but at least I can play some challenges with my beloved cat bitch and harley now.

The only stutter I get is when I do a quick eject to glide out of the batmobile. Also my settings....
Everything High, V-sync off, Max FPS set to 90, and all gameworks off.

WB is probably taking the Origins stance of "fuck it, good enough get it and the DLC out".

Shit, I was hoping that WB would have fixed the issues during the Early Access period but I guess not.
What a shame.

The benchmarks don't lie : this game is just not 100, silky smooth. Runs well enough for me to enjoy it but no doubt those who swear by consistency better stay away from it.

So... How about that Rocksteady led team of developers, eh? Yeah, Rocksteady and WB share equal blame in this.
Code:
Frames, Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg
10481, 129500, 63, 91, 80.934
I drove around pretty much like you did, crashing through stuff and blowing some cars up. I was at around 75FPS most of the time when I looked and there was a bit of stutter every now and then as can be seen in the frametimes above but nothing major that makes it unplayable.

Everything was turned down to lowest and it didn't ask me for a restart when I did it so I guess it all did apply properly. But 80 as an average on lowest with everything turned off is still pretty bad for a machine like mine..

Did you try lowering whatever RAM/VRAM intensive settings there are? Cause that looks like trashing caused by a lack of RAM.
