Batman: Arkham Knight

The Batster in his Tumbler. The butler and the copper. The chatter of the Riddler, the shadow of the Joker, a familiar mass poisoner, an usurper in shining armor... Nevermind the weather, Arkham games have never been fuller. The console port however is a stinker to remember.

Solutions & Issues
Widescreen Solution & Issues:

Native Hor+ support.

Some cinematics (Performance Test included) are "Vert+" as if anamorphic with transparent black bars.

Ultra/Super-Wide Specific Solution & Issues:

Native Hor+ support with quite a few oddities.

  • HUD position is identical to 16:9.
  • Zoom is pillarboxed.
  • Real-time rendered cutscenes are Vert-, while some are also simultaneously pillarboxed. Use Rose's fix to correct both issues.
  • City map is Vert-.
  • Performance Test follows the behavior of the cutscenes and is Vert-.
  • Main menu backdrop is Vert+.

Although it is possible to address some of these using MaintainYFOV (BaseEngine.ini) and FOV keys (BmInput.ini), this solution is too fiddly and imperfect to be really worth it.

Eyefinity / Surround Specific Solution & Issues:

Native Hor+ support with centered HUD.

In some places the FOV is higher than it should be (Hor+/Vert+):

  • "Playable" cremation scene.
  • Pillarboxed real-time rendered cut-scenes.
  • City map.
  • Performance Test.
  • Main menu backdrop.

Additionnally there are many cosmetic inconsistencies tied to either the high aspect ratio or pixel count:

  • Lighting is generally brighter.
  • Rain drops are very thick and look like bubbles around light sources (with or without GameWorks Rain).
  • Lenticular halos around bright lights are extremely pronounced (with or without Chromatic Aberration) and stretch.
  • 'Bat swarm' fade stretches.
4K UHD Specific Solution & Issues:

Native support. Lenticular halos are extremely pronounced, see Additional screenshots.
