No idea tbh. I was reading some comments about someone playing on PC saying it was locked to 30Fps ?

They did that with splinter cell, but multi player only I think. It was the reason I didn't play it.

Probably had Vsync on. Assassins Creed Black Flag capped the FPS to 30fps if it dipped even 1 or 2 FPS under 60.

Watched some PC videos on YT right now from today (final game) and TBH I do not think it looks that good (nor do a lot of others).

Not my kind of game either.

From what I've read the daytime is overly bright, there are a lot of poor textures, and there are AA issues.

The PC version isn't locked to a framerate, saw screenshots of Fraps showing 73.

Watched a few YouTube videos and think it looks great. What were people expecting? If they had it looking like e3 2012 people would moan that it runs poorly or it's unoptimized. At least wait until you play a game before criticising it.

Its quite apt this game has already been leaked/hacked.

It's unusual that it's cracked before its launch day, that's very peculiar.

I think it looks fun from what I have seen.

Indeed. Especially with a AAA game.

I'm interested but definitely one to wait for reviews before buying.

Ubisoft should have got a calendar out before releasing the game and said lets release the game on the Friday ready for the weekend, not bleeding Tuesday! Especially as its a 3 day weekend here too! (not sure about the US though).

ViRuS2k · 23 May 2014 at 21:02

i could never understand why games release on Tuesday especially with the digital download age we are in why not friday that gives people the chance to enjoy the game after a hard weeks graft....

its just stupid...

I presume it's cracked so early because a load of people received their boxed copies today and can already play with Uplay in offline mode.

Quick question; the watch dogs code from ocuk, are they for steam or uplay? Uplay is locking up when i try to enter code. Any ideas? Many thanks.

Depends on if your talking about the nvidia offer, in which case you need to put the code into the nvidia site...to get your real code

Its called an opinion, respect others and I will not be playing it ever as never did fancy it and knew it would be overrated. :rolleyes:

Been playing for last hour. Has the same problem as Black flag. One fps below 60 and it crashes to 30 !! Have to run D3Doverider if you want it so run without the huge jumps.

D3Doverrider to force Vsync and triple buffering?

To force triple buffering. Same as black flag. I can run BF4 on ultra at 60fps. Not this game. Frame rate drops all the time. Going to have to lock it down lower as I cant stand the juddering.
