Isn't the physics in UE3 locked at 30fps? I seem to remember Bioshock had issues in the past when you unlocked the framerate it caused the physics engine to get weird. Don't know if they ever fixed this.

Physics in UE3 are fine above 30fps, it's just PhysX after all, that was purely a Bioshock issue.

Game runs great on my machine, no problems. 12Gb makes up for the memory leaks i suppose. Smooth as silk and no issues.

Ready in few weeks? i though it should be released at end of this month.

Well people was saying in Steam that the patch will launch on Fall 2015 before Warner Bros put the info about the patch because in Steam it say game will launch in Fall 2015 so they was right. Warner Bros they say the game will be Ready in few weeks which means they want to launch the patch with Steam OS & Windows together in Fall 2015 which is Sep.

Why not no framerate limiting in the first place?

And where's that stupid arsed user who was bitching that the Fall 2015 date on Steam was just the Linux/SteamOS release date? and not time the game will be fully released when its properly patched?

Guess what jackass!?!, in a couple of weeks its already Fall 2015.
Guess what: Batman: Arkham Knight will be available on SteamOS, Linux and Mac in Fall 2015.

This interim patch has nothing to do it. Fall is a bit over a month away.
The developers are still working on more fixes. The game was already, 'fully released' then pulled. Calm down.
