Wow, this game stutters like a mofo on crack…

It's heavily CPU bound, don't waste your time too much tinkering with visual settings. It's one of those titles you need really fast cores on a very modern CPU for ideal performance.
 
Downloaded a 7.2 GB update and now FPS are about 160 with RTX on. Game does not hitch. Running fine for me but I am still at the beginning. Just came back from the morgue. Story is intriguing.

Thos wall textures in the opening gameplay before you meet the paramedics look atrocious. I don't recall them looking like that pre patch.
 
After playing some more, there is definitely some hitching. Especially when driving the bike and/or throwing batgirl over long distance grapple. You can also see buildings loading up and graphics showing up after a bit when you move.

However, it is leagues better than before. At least during fights and stealth or doing missions it doesn’t bother anymore.

Not sure if this will get better than this.​
 
This game is not bad at all. Gameplay does improve and Batgirl is great character to play with. Haven’t even attempted the dudes. Batgirl also got tons of costumes and each one is different when you upgrade which is amazing. Remember that Marvel game where the costumes never changed. Well this is not one of them lol.

The bad assery has started as well. Yes it is repetitive and not the best thing in the world but it is scratching that Bat itch pretty hard. :up:
 
Playing some more and I am liking the game quite a bit. I see myself finishing it. I think side missions could’ve been more but right now they are too samey.

Meganub can you send them a letter from me congratulating them on a great job being dumbasses!

Crashes introduced in a patch are the key reason tons of people abandoned this game or never indulged. They now release a fix months later. Also reason why I didn’t do any sides as game kept crashing!
