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

Baseline (Widescreen) Solution & Issues

Native Hor+ support.

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

Ultra/Super-Wide (21:9/32:9) 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.
