Watch Dogs - Ubisoft's Third Person Shooter

I really want to like this game, but when i put it on the performance issue really turns me off!!

Think ill try this mod and see if that helps , do you guys switch off crossfire while running this? stuttering is annoying
 
I find it a lot easier to play without this mod. It looks a lot nicer but it reminds me of the new star trek movies with lights everywhere. I find it all a bit much.
 
yes I do andrew, but with this fix, the performance is a lot better for me and many others. Seems like something Ubisoft disabled might have actually made the pc performance worse. Whether or not they did that on purpose or not, things definitely seem better with this fix.

Great ill give it a shot tonight, not looked into it yet but is it an easy install?
 
by the way, if you go to this page, a modder has made his own 1gb patch that might help performance even more. Some people are saying it works fantastically well. I've not personally tried it as my game now runs smooth as a babies bum, but by all means give it a go. http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=390114&page=75 Its a little way down the page by someone called Maldo
 
I don't get a lot of the comments on other forums as half of these graphic effects weren't even in the E3 2012 tech demo such as headlight shadows. It just seems like blurring everything in the distance makes it look like a good game! Yay for DOF! Yet I don't know who anyone who wants to play with it on :p

I think WatchDogs would have worked much better without cars and just played as Assassin's Creed as then they could have all this crazy DOF and such and it wouldn't cause the game to be unplayable and everyone could stop moaning about graphics.

Can't wait to see what comes of the mods once the guys have had to tweak it some more, hopefully this will open the gates to some ENB style modding or even some texture editing, maybe someone can fix those bad looking headlight textures.

The DOF in the latest mod that's labelled as "normal" is actually quite good in that respect, it's not on all the time. It just comes into effect when you're aiming or running and when you look behind in a car, which is quite a nice effect.

The other problem with this mod is that he's messing around with non visual things like pedestrians, since I installed the mod it seems like everyone even in the run down parts of the city has rich bank accounts.

I would rather this just dealt with the visual.

They won't care. They've been releasing half finished repetitive garbage for years and people still buy them in the millions. All they'll care about is fleecing their customers even more with DLC rather than fix any issues or respond to any complaints.
 
The mod isn't without flaws, DOF being my primary gripe, but it's quite an improvement and feels like it's decreased the slight judder I had before. It's still present when driving, but overall much smoother and looks better. No notable FPS decrease either but haven't measured it.

3gb vram usage = crawl.

my poor 7950 :(
 
I was thinking about buying this but I think I will hold off on this until its bargain bin at least. Ubisoft, man such a bunch of..... I give up on them completely. :(
 
I played a fair bit last night with the mod, apart from the bloom being a bit much at night it looks dam great.

/checks if there is an udpate
