Watch Dogs - Ubisoft's Third Person Shooter

what a difference with this fix, big improvmenet indeed and no performance hit what so ever, well certainly not for me anyway. Looking forward to future improvements.

There needs to be a config tool or something, or maybe I can dabble in watch dogs modding after the fun I had with GTA 4...

Bloom seems a bit much, fills up the screen from smallish signs. Haven't had chance to test the rain... Speaking of the TOD progression how fast does it move for everyone else? As I said before it didn't change unless I moved now it is easily perceptible and seems a little fast.

apparently the mod/ fix guy said he would be adding a configuration tool at a later date.

I agree though, it's a bit strong on the bloom and the DOF at times, but hey, this is so much better than vanilla.

Just installed this mod, no problems at all running at 1920x1080, all settings on High except water which is on Ultra - didn't notice any difference in performance over vanilla. I don't have the fastest PC - i5-2500/GTX 750ti OC/16GB RAM.

This mod plus the Sweet FX preset posted a few pages back = *drool*

Agree about the DoF/bloom though, is a bit strong still, even on v0.7. Was trying to take some nice screenshots of car headlights in the rain and ended up getting dazzled by a big white cloud in the middle of the screen (as above in TonyTurbo78's screenshot) (although I guess that's kind of realistic :p)

Yeah I just wanted to show the bloom working. The dynamic shadows now are insane. Test this, grab a motorbike, park it infant of a cars headlights and see the amazing shadow definition. Incredible

It is interesting that things like dynamic lights from car headlights giving realtime reflections gives no hit in performance.

I like the dof in 0.7 shows up while running, aiming and other stuff. Night time looks a bit better in general too.

Would be nice if he could get more real time reflections on things like building windows too. Car and water reflections are good.

Ubisoft are getting slayed across the web for that one. They really need to get a press release and patch out ASAP just to limit the damage.

Code: 
#else
    // This is PC only, who cares.
    float3 upperColor = DefaultProbeUpperColor;
#endif

Disgusting , if its true?
would enplane a lot if it is true
 
I'm not sure the code comment is really meant to be malicious - I agree with others on the mod thread that it sounds to me more like what a programmer would write sarcastically if they were being forced to cut corners and didn't agree with it
 
i really think the code comment is fake tbh. anyone can post something like that and people will believe it.

anyway this mod how do we know it doesn't contain a hole or malware or something?
 
That's the sort of things developers at my work put in when someone asks for a really daft change they don't agree with. Someone wanted password security altered, I remember reading "Ah what the hell, let's just drop passwords entirely" as a comment, then an ASCII art of the middle finger.

I'd take it as sarcasm personally. Dev is probably a PC user.
