Thank you!

old thread is ooollld, but understand something, UE engine uses the locked 62 cap for frame pacing/smoothing purposes. You can raise the cap, but unless your rig can maintain a very high framerate (which is usually not a problem on new hardware with this old game), then you will find your game will stutter more as a result.

frame pacing >>> max fps. You'll get a MUCH better experience running at a locked 62fps, then you will with a higher max fps, but lower average from dips.

I thought stutter was the result of a weak CPU - your CPU not being strong enough to keep up with GPU(s) so the GPU has to wait for the CPU to finish before starting the next frame and this is where you get that drop and stutter feel.

That solution isn't working for me anymore since I upgraded my old GTX 1600 to an RTX 3060 Ti OC edition. Even if I set that file for read-only, it's resetting itself back to 62 (max 30 in the cutscenes). Looks like many other games it's not better to upgrade to your hardware, and I'm not speaking about the GPU alone, there are games that aren't running on a more than two physical cores CPU, or have a game-breaking bug like Hydrophobia Prophecy. Also, having an in-game frame cap isn't always a bad thing (GTA 3, Vice-City and San Andreas would be unplayable without it) and I wish that Witcher Enhanced Edition would have it too. Let alone The Prince of Persia trilogy. I wish so much to can afford to build a PC dedicated to older games, advanced just enough to not run them at a too higher frame rate.

Why?

He may be using a 120/144Hz monitor.

Now let's see if I remember correctly...

Steamapps > common > Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY > Bm Game > Config.
Open Defaultengine
Find MaxSmoothedFrameRate
Change the value to 122/146 or whatever your refresh rate is +2.

You may need to change the properties of the document to Read Only, so make sure your other settings are good before you do this.

thx a lot

Fixed this by just removing fps counter on the steam overlay. Don't notice any major drops now.

FOR PEOPLE IN 2024:

IF U CANT FIND A DEFAULTENGINE. INI IT SHOULD BE UNDER BMENGINE.INI

I followed this. It's the same procedure for Asylum

Still works in 2024, thank you! Will this method also work on Batman Arkham City GOTY & Batman Arkham Knight?

Is this still needed in 2024? I just installed the game and it runs at 180 fps. I had to use nvidia settings to actually limit it to about 100fps. At 180 some enemies went flying in the air during fights.

That's the irony for the older games running on newer hardware, you have to find ways to make them run slower like for the Prince of Persia trilogy which is almost impossible, that's why I'm planning to build a PC with the most older components I can find just for enjoying those golden age of gaming' games.

Use this replacement launcher for easy access to graphical settings not present in original game.
Batman Arkham Asylum - Advanced Launcher[github.com]

Here's some more worthwhile enhancements:
Asylum Reborn - HD Texture Pack
Neural 1080p Enhanced Cutscenes[www.nexusmods.com] These are significantly smaller than 4k upscales and are plenty good enough quality for 4k display.
These mods won't interfere with achievement unlocking or anything.

I'm dumb dude. I just noticed this thread is for asylum. I was talking about arkham origins. But yea that's what I used for asylum and city. That launcher is awesome. The community patcher is good too for city. You get so many custom skins.

I know this is an old thread, but for anyone wondering about the FPS cap, just leave it at the default. Once you raise it above the default value of 62, it becomes obvious why the developers capped it at that. The game runs fine at higher frame rates, but it fluctuates, whereas if you keep it at 62, it will pretty much stay there all the time.

thats because you have a weak graphics or cpu or both.

I've got a 12400f & 3060 Ti, but it might be a proton thing.

Still works in 2024, 4070Ti / 12600K
