Widescreen resolution

Use Flawless Widescreen[citation needed]

Fix horizontal stretching
Go to <path-to-game>\data\datafile\viewport.txt. Open viewport.txt. Change Aspect="1.777777778" to: Aspect="2.3338" for ultra-widescreen resolutions. Aspect="5.3333" for multi-monitor resolutions. See Common HEX Values for other aspect ratios.

Field of view (FOV)

Use Flawless Widescreen[citation needed]

Use FOV fix[citation needed]
This fix does not cause the distortion caused by Flawless Widescreen.[citation needed]

High frame rate

Frame rate is capped at 30 FPS by default.

Unlocking the framerate may cause issues with aiming. Enabling Vertical sync (Vsync) or capping your game at 60 fps will resolve this. It is also possible to fix this by capping 99hz within the resolution setting.

SLI support

By default the Nvidia profile does not have SLI compatibility bits for the game. If you have a SLI setup on your computer and would like to improve your general performance you might want to enable SLI support.

Enable SLI support[citation needed]

Open the game profile via Nvidia Profile Inspector. Change SLI compatibility bits (DX1x) to 0x080222F5 (Batman: Arkham Origins) Change NVIDIA predefined SLI mode on Dx10 to SLI_PREDEFINED_MODE_FORCE_AFR Change NVIDIA predefined number of GPUs to use on SLI rendering mode on Dx10 to SLI_PREDEFINED_GPU_COUNT_FOUR Apply changes. Notes SLI is not compatible with SMAA T2X option (will cause flicking and other visual errors). Some shadow flickering in certain areas will occur regardless of settings when using SLI.
