wow at the start the lady says Nvidia and not n-n-n-n-nvid-i-i-i-a-a-a

I have downloaded the patch restarted my computer..... but mine still says n-n-n-n-nvid-i-i-i-a-a-a even with all settings minamized :/

DX11 for me has gone from 6fps upto 40fps, so that is a great improvement, I still think Rocksteady can squeeze more out of that. But I am going to play on DX9 much prefer a solid 60fps. Might try DX11 tess on medium though.

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.

Confirmed.Oh yes, finally sound work fine!=)
P.S. Im on AMD GPU, but sounds fine now=)

DX9 maxed out and capped at 60fps my GPU only runs at 45% lol. That has been improved for sure I am pretty sure before it was 60%

My video card fan didn't even make it to 50% on any of the tests. My case says "enhanced for DX11" and nothing about DX9 or DX10. What's the point in having v-sync off if you can't even reach your native refresh rate. Having v-sync off just makes your card work more than it needs to.

Back of my box says Enhanced for DX10, in-game v-sync is a killer for frames, if you force v-sync on with D3DOverider it will run a lot smoother, almost all games do. I have D3DOverider running at boot up, I always disable v-sync in game and let D3DOverider handle it.

What about a stand alone installer? My internet connection at home is bizarre. Give us (who payed for your product) a direct link. Is hosting a 130~200 MB file that hard? Use bittorrent if you must. You did for your previous game (it was 270 MB IIRC) Why can't you do it for Arkham City.

How do you play the game and be able to save if you don't log into GFWL? The patch took about 5 minutes to install through GFWL.
