My save is still missing?

I don't know, is it?

On a serious note, it is not guaranteed that you get them back. I didn't get mine, but many people did.

I just let g4wl install the patch and ran some benchmark runs. There is hardly any improvement in dx11 at all, maybe 2 fps, and that's it.

Computer specs: phenom II x6 1100T, 4gig 1066 memory, evga gtx560 Ti 448 core, Windows 7 pro 32 bit.

Basic settings: v-sync=on, csaa32, 1440x900, detail=extreme

Settings with dx11 at normal and normal physx
minimum 9 fps
maximum 33 fps
average 29 fps

Settings with dx11 at normal and no physx
minimum 22 fps
maximum 38 fps
average 33 fps

Settings with no dx11 and no physx
minimum 74 fps
maximum 75 fps
average 72 fps

I know my hardware could be better, but what I have should make this game work with dx11 and physx at normal settings with the resolution I'm running. Rocksteady shouldn't advertise that a game will do something if they can't deliver.

I can't tell you anything else about what might have supposedly got fixed until I play it. G4WL doesn't tell you how big the patch is, but it can't be that big. It took about 2 minutes to download. Almost 5 months for this??????

You should cap the frames to 60 anyway unless you have a 120hz monitor. Just making the fans run louder then needed ALways have v-sync off and force it on with D3DOverider with triple buffer. Also the retail box does not state DX11 it says DX10.

Well maybe u should dail in some reasonable settings, for once csaa32x on card like that ? get real ?.
Details extreme ? once again get real you are not running a very high end card there.
And last but not least , I had v-sync enabled too and it caused major stuttering and hdd activity I turned it off and the game ran alot smoother.

I guess if you set the game to just high and just use a normal type of AA instead of that uber setting you are using now you will get a nice performance boost.

Dont expect them to perform miracles when your hardware just isnt capable of running the game in full detail.

You need a new OS, dude. It could only help.

Also, have you tried using FXAA instead of CSAA 32? I found it looked better and rendered better (faster) on my setup, which is similar to yours, btw.

I'm curious: I thought it was a pretty decent card. I know a GTX 580 would be a definite improvement, but how bad is a 560 GTX Ti?
