I tried out the Batman Arkham Asylum demo on my PC, since I would really like to try the game out.

However, on the installation screen, it says my computer does not meet the minimum requirements for the game, having a 1200 Megahertz processor, while the game recommended a 3000 Megahertz one. However, I installed it anyway, and was not surprised that at low settings, the game ran in slow motion. However, I noticed that even at it's lowest settings, it still had advanced special effects that weren't needed and could be removed with older games.

So I went into it's data files and changed the game graphics settings file via notepad, changing everything from true to false. But I got interesting to see how far it could go, and I changed everything to true.

Surprisingly, now the game runs with all special effects, including blur, shadows, and stuff, while running faster than before.

I don't know. I think that's just weird.

Soooooooo... Game runs like shit on a system below-spec, changing further settings to the lowest yields a slight fps boost, and you can't notice the graphical differences. I don't see what's weird about all this. It happens.

Edit: Re-read it and saw you turned it all back on. Weird. Maybe you missed something in the settings, or it's just all in your head. Maybe some of the "true" things were actually disabling things if you read their description than mass change it. If that video's the "faster" one then, eh...
