Stuttering intro videos? Just started

[LOUnatic]

Hey guys. When I load the game the first few logos that show up (batman logo, splash damage, WB logo ect..) and even the Nvidia "The way its meant to be played" little videos stutter a bit while they are showing. Its not like they freeze but its definitely noticalble.

Does anyone else get these?

Thanks in advance.

My rig:
i5 4670K @ 3.4
EVGA GTX 970 SSC
8gb 1600 DDR3.

Thanks Some Hunter, but I guess my follow up is.......HOW? This game is a "AAA" title thats over 2 years old. How the ♥♥♥♥ does that not get fixed despite the "next" (I know, I know, no reason to kill me DC nerds) game in the series has been released?

i think they only released one patch, then gave up and said "screw pc" when in reality, we will get mad and ♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ up

This is why idiots need to stop pre-ordering games.

after batman arkham knight I should never pre-order games. I usually don't pre-order games but huge batman fan and always pre-order this games but after this i will not.

I play a little of batman arkham city and i get random fatal error crashes. I guess the game can't be played in DX 11.

I have actually heard people say "well I want to put down the money because I dont know if I will have the cash when the game comes out."

That makes no F'ING sense at all. First of all, its $60 max. I cant think of a single SERIOUS life or death situation that I, an upper middle, or hell even a middle class adult would need $60 or less for where I would be drained of funds and couldnt afford it.

Second, if such a situation existed how does it make sense to give my money to a game dev or retailer if I really need that money? They arent paying me interest. If you are in a situation where you would NEED this money, you wouldnt have it.

Finally, If you are in a situation where $60 is considrered "a lot of money" to you....then you dont need to be playing videogames. If $60 means something to your LIFE then your ass needs a second job because if you get hurt, or your car breaks down, or your AC dies....its going to cost a HELL of a lot more money to fix those things than $60.

I pre-order games because I can afford the loss, I'm also patient enough to wait on patches that usually fix any launch issues I may experience. I also have a good. well maintained PC and do not experience the multitude of issues other people seem to get with demanding games.

They actually released 5 patches and fixed a bug that rocksteady never did for arkham city. Then came the inevitable "let it rot" from WB and cash for patches dried up whilst they worked on the cold cold heart dlc

To answer the op's question, the stuttering fmvs is due to dx11. Add the -d3d9 parameter to the game's launch properties in your steam library (right click on the game and choose properties, then the launch options). This will force dx9 and allow for more fluid cutscenes. You will lose the dx11 enhancements though.

By pre ordering games you are contributing to the problem. If they have your money upfront then they have no motivation to make a well reviewed product. If they have to EARN your money, they have to provide a quality product.

Are you using 32 or 64 bit Windows ? I had really bad stutters, freezes and crashes at cutscenes with Origins and City until I switched over to 64.

Im using 64 bit windows 7.

Its not during cutscenes IN game. Its only happening for the intro videos. The ones where it shows the studio/publisher/batman logos in the beginning and the Nvidia little plug they put in there. Not the actual story based cutscenes.

And this comment helps HOW?

OP - the issue is probably due to a conflict with video codecs installed on your system. Have you made any changes recently since the problem began?

You can easily skip the intro movies by adding -nostartupmovies to the launch options.

I have same issue
