As title said, I wonder if all the problems this game had in the past have been solved or there are still bug / crashes / framerate drops.
I love Asylum and City and I really want to buy this final chapter but I'm unsure if buying it or not even with winter sales, if there are still problems. Obviously I ask this to users who already bought it.
This was made when the game hit EGS, but it's still relevant:

that video just talks about framerate, doesn't mention anything about bugs.....or crashes....so presumeably it's all bug free on gog then?

No, it's not bug or crash free. But it runs about as well as it's going to run for a game that is no longer receiving active maintenance fixes.

I won't say it's guaranteed you won't run into a crash or the occasional stutter since it's impossible for everyone to have the same hardware and setups, etc. But if you have a PC that meets requirements and is as current as possible on driver updates and the like, you should be okay. Worst case scenarios would be you have to adjust settings or check something like PCGaming Wiki for potential troubleshooting tips I think. Or the game just outright doesn't run, in which case I'd say the option there would be to request a refund and wait until GOG support processes it.

Hi.

It is sub-par, performance wise, so a considerably bigger than you would normally expect "boat" is necessary to run it smoothly.

It still has bugs,minor ones and if u put the game on 60fps your frames are gonna drop a lot and when you are inside the batmobile even more.
At 30 fps you get a decent experience,no frame drops but bugs.
Thanks for all the answers. I didn't buy it anymore because after all these years I thought the situation was much better. So in the end I opted only for Arkham Origins.
I've only had a brief go at the main game campaign, but I was impressed at how well it performed on my Ivy-Bridge from 2012 and GTX 1060 from 2016 (see attached picture). However the previous titles used MSAA, so switching to a post processing AA like SMAA probably helped compensate for the performance drops that accompanied increased visual eye-candy.

One thing I'm struggling with currently, is unlike the previous 3 games, I can't get it to use the GTX 750 1GB as a PhysX card (that is the 2 grayed out GameWorks options you see from my settings), which is a shame because from my testing this hugely improves PhysX Performance in Arkham Origins (see second attached picture).

Basic Specs:
Windows 10
Nvidia 368.95 Drivers (Old drivers, but I'm currently trying to troubleshoot why the 750 won't engage PhysX)
ASUS P8Z77V-PRO
i5-3570K CPU (OC to 4.3GHz)
16GB DDR3 RAM
Geforce GTX 1060 TI 6GB
Geforce GTX 750 1GB (for PhysX)

I'm currently also running Arkham Knight on an old 3GB Seagate Harddisk drive. It certainly is very very slow to load, but I don't currently have any space on my SSD.
