"Added the ability to change settings for Max FPS to 30/60/90"

So...they are still locking the frames...this will surely annoy a lot of people and confirm that WB has done messed up.

It's funny you can ruin what was a fairly decent reputation just by giving one of your largest and most expensive franchises to a bunch of clowns. I mean, this is the company who released

Shadows of Mordor

on the PC...

You do not simply port your game to the PC, its graphics cards are guarded by more than just housewives. There are trolls there that do not sleep. The great and powerful Master Race is ever watchful. It is barren wasteland, riddled with self-important noobs, angry forum warriors, vloggers and bloggers. The I/O you program is a poisonous operating system, left over from the 1970's. Not with ten thousand men could you do this.

You'd think WB would be aware of this...

At least the game they've been fixing is actually worth fixing up.

Such a shame they released it in a piss poor state, it's a good game outside of the bugs.

Looks like some good fixes, looks like it'll be worth playing after that patch. I'd probably set framerate limit at 90fps considering my 78Hz screen - I'm wondering if those presets give better results than just modifying the ini file to limit it to 78fps. I've held off on playing this game till the fixes are released, although I have to admit that it's very smooth in the opening sections of the game when gliding around the city & fighting, I've yet to encounter any issues - but figured I'd wait for the optimised patch anyway.
