Batman: Arkham City

[vickybat]

^^ Man you have two 580's and your frames are dipping to 32 with syncing problems? Heard that rocksteady will release a patch to fix these problems.

So i guess i'll run this game in dx9 mode only. DX11 will be unplayable for me on my 5750.

Please dont ignore that i have a SLI.It seems this game dosent take advantage of that.Wait for a single gtx 580 user review or test yourself.(i dont have much time to test it in solo mode).

 

[vickybat]

^^Yeah i knew that already buddy. I meant two 580's in sli in my previous post. Actually it isn't scaling issue but problem is in the dx11 mode. Rocksteady has admitted this and will be releasing a patch.

Besides if there are scaling issues, then your scores are equivalent to a single 580 only. Performance won't dip if there is minimal scaling. You have two 1.5gb 580's or 3gb ones? Who's the board maker ( brand)?

 

[revolt]

I already got that that you knew that.what i meant was please note it may perform better on a single card than a sli one as it seems it is not taking advantage of it.Btw i have 1.5 version ZOTAC GTX 580.

Got the game for pc on letsbuy. Does anyone know how to use the codes given? I got two codes, one is the cd key and the other is a "Earth One batman skin" redeem code. On the box, it was written to activate the pass to unlock catwoman. But no details of where to unlock. How to activate the code?
Also, when I am redeeming the skin code in windows live, it is giving me an error code: 800700e8 and unable to redeem it.

How to update the game to the latest patch? when google'd, I didn't find any download link even in the official site and the mention was that steam automatically updates the game. How do I update it without steam?

The Catwoman DLC code needs to be entered within the game. When you start a new game, it will inform you that Catwoman is an additional playable character and then it will present you with the option to redeem your code or continue the game without her. This is what I was presented with on the Xbox 360. I'm assuming, the same options would prevail on PC too.

Unfortunately, the patch is only available by Steam.

Any news when the bug free patch for PC will be released?

GFWL automatically downloads the patch during login. The game runs fine in DX 9 though. I am currently at Penguin's subway den.

nope in my PC it didn't ask for me that way!!
Anyone here knows how to enter bonus codes??is it GFWL reedem code option??

Anyway My game got updated too in GFWL login but that doesn't solve any DX11 performance issue..in the main menu I'm barely getting 3-4 fps..tried bencemark once and avg fps was 48 but still playing in DX9!!

Sorry to break your link PC guys. Just wanted to barge in to brag that this is my first 1000/1000 achievement game for the X360 . Stopped playing it coz Skyrim came out. Must have put 50 hours into this game.

Hi, I just bought Arkham city, took 20 min for installation.. and when I run it, game is lagging at several occassions... My system configuration is in the signature, please don't tell me that it can't handle the game.. i have heard of dx11 issues with the game, is that affecting the performance in my system? Resolution: 1600x900

 

[sameer.pur]

Try to play on DX9. I am able to play it on 40-50 fps on 1600x900 on my laptop.

[eggman]

I installed Batman Arkham City and played a few games offline. I want to go online now that I have a 3G connection but whenever I try to get registered online I get the message "Game Key already registered". When I had installed the game I had keyed in the Game Key, and now the same key wont work as I have explained before. What should I do? And do you think that game play will get benefited by going online in Batman AC like it does in Dirt3? If not can I just carry on with my offline account and go on playing?
