no slideshow fix?
It’s a feature. 2.4 fps are best for cinematic immersion.
ahahaahah
I was “lurking” thhe neogaf thread about ‘theworse’ mod few days ago. Aparently the stuttering thing and the high vram usage has to do with the way the game loads the textures and mipmaps, there was a guy there experimenting and aparently having good results.
Shame on you Ubi, I don’t even know why you bother bringing (might I say charging?) your games to PC.
Because they can say “console looks same as PC ultra” and use it as marketing for clueless console peasants.They don’t care about PC gamers at all.
They said console looks the same as PC High, not Ultra.
Then why they cant bring WD to 1080p with that “high” standard new consoles?
Even a GTX 750 can play WD at 1080p in High/30FPS!
Usually we don’t get announcements on settings like it will be compared to the PC high version. Usually they just announce the resolution and frame rate.
Because their CPU is not powerful enough so it holds back the GPU part of the APU. We know AMD’s FX line is weak per core, no difference on the console APU’s and they need to be heavily multi-threaded like FX PC CPUs to show their strength.
We dont know about that. FX is strong enough!

660ti should be more ideal. 750 seems a little too underpowered.
was thinking about FC4 anyway.. but can it play on ultra? i don’t think so
Think back to when Far Cry 3 released and the “optimization” for PC
The answer for you is “lol no. Consoles will be lucky to get it on Medium while PC changes a few settings to make the thing work”.
Ubi-Soft.
Get mental help. It’s not healthy to hate pieces of plastic and people who like playing video games on them.
My PC is better than yours and I know more about technology than you. You are worthless demented human waste. Keep squirting that angry futile mustard everywhere. You aren’t changing anything.
Apparently PS4’s stronger hardware, ~3.5 million sales lead, large number of 1st party developers, more games, and more developer support have microsoft fanboys extremely upset, causing them to spread lies and hatred. Thankfully everyone is ignoring these children and buying PS4s like hotcakes anyway.

That’s a lot of lies and hatred over PS4’s stronger console hardware, ~3.5 million sales lead, large number of 1st party developers, more games, and more developer support. 8+ million and counting. Nothing you say will stop it, you are helpless. Keep lying and hating while everyone else ignores you.
Mustard peasant spreading lies and hatred. You must have issues to literally hate a piece of plastic and people who like gaming on consoles.
The real “god gaming race” owns both a good PC and consoles, and they find your lies, hatred, and ignorance disgraceful. Keep crying and squirting that mustard everywhere.
Mustards don’t have “a point”, they just hate anyone who doesn’t have the time, money, or interest in building and maintaining a PC, and hate the fact that consoles offer a comparable gaming experience and exclusive games they can’t have. Unless they grow up and buy a console themselves, which isn’t that expensive compared to their imaginary quad SLI 4k PCs.
The most hateful, demented mustards have laughable mid-range PCs with GTX 650 Tis that can’t even run the latest games at 1080p 60 fps very high/ultra settings. They’re mostly poor peasants who pirate all their games and hate anything they can’t download off a torrent.
All these delusional mustards thinking affordable 4k is coming next year, $150 mid range cards can do 1440p 60 fps in a few years, and mobiles will be as powerful as a 1.84 TF console in a few years. Good lord.
Not everyone wants to game on PCs, if they wanted a gaming PC they would have bought one.
PS4 has some interesting architecture benefits over traditional split CPU/GPU split memory pool PCs, and other GPGPU customizations. PS4 is comparable to a mid range PC at 1.84TF considering the APU and GPGPU architecture benefits and low level single platform coding. For $400 you get a lot of price/performance, more than a $400 PC would get you. PS4 is better than most PCs. PS4 will have lots of good exclusives, both console only and PS4 only. Wait for later 1st parties to show what PS4 can do.
Xbox/PC fanboys seem to be on a war on people too poor or unwilling/unable to spend time and money buying, building, and maintaining a PC. Mustard race claiming they can afford multi-thousand dollar PCs but too poor to buy a $200-400 console.
Both PS4 and Xbox will have good exclusive games, high end PCs are best for multiplatform games if you have the time, money, and effort to build and maintain one. Only deranged fanboys keep chewing their own legs off screaming about “PS4 peasants”.
Mustards don’t have “a point”, they just hate anyone who doesn’t have the time, money, or interest in building and maintaining a PC, and hate the fact that consoles offer a comparable gaming experience and exclusive games they can’t have. Unless they grow up and buy a console themselves, which isn’t that expensive compared to their imaginary quad SLI 4k PCs.
Oh boy, an article full of mustard racers chewing their own legs off screaming about peasants and bad PC ports. Not sure how they can hate other people who don’t have the time, money, and/or interest in building and maintaining a gaming PC.
High end PCs will always be a tiny market, most PC gaming is done on low end PCs playing League of Legends, WoW, or other F2P or MMOs. Console game sales sustain the AAA industry, they’ll get the majority of developer focus most of the time in multiplatform games. Just because someone builds a $1000+ PC doesn’t mean anyone is obligated to make games for them.
I assume you pirate everything including Windows. PC master parasite more like it. Console game sales sustain the AAA industry. If it were all PC most games would be free to play or always online MMO type games that can’t be pirated, i.e. League of Legends, World of Warcraft, etc.
You sound upset that developers aren’t catering to the tiny number of high end PC users that actually pay for their games.
PS4 is raising the bar, it’s stronger than most PCs. You’re not getting a console that costs $400 and performs like an $1000 PC.

Targeting the widest range of consumers is called “business”, not “holding back innovation”. You’re making irrational demands for businesses to target the tiny number of high end PCs instead of the relatively gigantic number of mobiles, low end PCs/laptops, and consoles.
8+ million PS4s and counting. Nothing you say will stop it, you are helpless. Keep lying and hating while everyone else ignores you.,,
look whos talking the guy who has nothing better to do than damage control sony.
But ofcourse you dont care about that or games in general, you dont even anticipate those games, you just memorize what sony is offering and you post their propaganda everywhere.
I sure hope you are paid for this, if not then you need to grow up and get a job and stop damage controling but something tells me you do that because you are on a wheelchair and dont have anything better to do in your mentally ill excuse of a life.
“PS4 is raising the bar, it’s stronger than most PCs. You’re not getting a console that costs $400 and performs like an $1000 PC.”
PS4 is not raising ANY BAR YOU FREAKING R3TARD tahts the freakign point its not innovative or revolutionary its another 400$ cosnole that perfoms AVERAGE and in reallity a 700$ pc destroys ps4 not a 1000$.
Pull that sony dck out of your mouth wipe the c3m and go get a job you sony corporate slave.
“High end PCs will always be a tiny market, ”
Whos talking about high end? even midrange beats your sony trashbox.
Who cares about xbox?
Mustards? You do reallize you consoletards created the master race and not us.
But ofcourse you are mentally ill imbecille monkeys running around throwing feces having no idea what you are talking about.
I don’t remember Ubi saying that for FC4 either, but I get your point. Consoles won’t come close to Ultra.
If they didn’t care Ubisoft wouldn’t release the game on PC, nor would they add NVIDIA features, work with NVIDIA, add 4K support, add ultra settings, add a good choice of AA settings and options.
Sorry, but who add that features is the NVIDIA team.
TXAA and HBAO+ are NVIDIA features even though AMD users can use HBAO+, the other options like ultra, 4K support, MSAA, SMAA, SSAA are PC only features done by Ubisoft.
Umm… AMD can’t use HBAO+. You may be able to select it by editing the XML file, but it doesn’t work in game. HBAO+ is coded specifically to nVidia hardware via their drivers.
Quoted from HARDOCP:
“Watch Dogs supports HBAO+Low and HBAO+High modes, as well as regular HBAO modes. AMD hardware can run HBAO+ just fine in this game, it is a technology that does not, thankfully, run exclusive on NVIDIA hardware.”
TXAA is hardware anti-aliasing like MSAA ,each GPU has their own way of doing MSAA. I don’t like it that TXAA is hardware AA but I do like the fact that it deal with aliasing well on all levels, something which no offical AA method does.
It’s no small secret that devs don’t like MSAA ,they like software AA better like FXAA, SMAA, SSAA because they have full control over it, unlike TXAA and MSAA where the GPU has a say and it’s rules, optimisations paths. HBAO+ is just a ambient Occlusion method, it’s not GPU specific like TXAA is with AA.
TXAA is hardware specific because it’s hardware AA, it’s a mix of MSAA, shader AA and their custom filter for temporal. You can’t really compare TXAA with temporal SMAA because SMAA it doesn’t use MSAA.
If you want proper quality then you go MSAA, shader, post AA like FXAA, SMAA is just no good on it’s own, even at higher samples for distance lines and details, it’s why Epic Games use it in the UE demos and so do NVIDIA.
The OTHER option you list are common stuff on pc scene… i mean different types of AA and more resolution. Nothing new… just usual ubicrap port. And whit that i mean downgraded shit like
Removed bokeh DOF for the main cameras
Stuttering as hell
No fog
No E3 2012 Bloom
Removed Headlight Shadows
LoD Changed
Rain changed (no high Quality Rain Drops, no Properly Reacting to Light, etc)
ALL UBICRAP STUFF FOR YOU. ALL FOR THE PC GAMER. GG
Yes I know that but the point is they added such options, unlike quite a few games that don’t even have these options out of the box. The Witcher 2 doesn’t even have a graphics UI in the game, it’s outside before the game even starts and it didn’t even support a lot of widescreen modes
You bet they would, they said PC was lead anyways, so they didn’t lose that much (if anything) , or had to work that much to get it out for PC. it is straight up broken and unfinished port on PC , there may be ultra settings but can you run them? No one really can…even people with Titans… Nvidia stuff is more marketing BS than actual useful game features.
It’s the ultra textures that is the main problem not the ultra settings themselves. I can keep 30fps+ on custom ultra with shadows set to high because of their higher VRAM requirement adds stuttering on my GTX 660.
I’m just uploading a video of TheWorst mod and custom ultra but it drops to about 26fps at times.
True as I havent any probs with the old gtx 570 even and right now I have the gtx 780 and have never seen any stuttering whatsoever and thats is with everything maxed out and textures to of course and that is on a 3GB Vram 780!
It may be that I have an fast SSD so everything streams/loads very fast!
I’m so fucking sick of dumbshit PC gamers like you. The game isn’t broken, it’s just demanding. You must have a piece of shit PC. The game runs fine on my gtx 770 at all ultra settings minus ultra textures. The game looks fantastic at those settings.
bad optimization also..
Nope, if you don’t use ultra textures the frame-rates are pretty consistent. I’m always between 30-40 FPS and that’s on a 2 year old spec. People might say it’s badly optimised because they drop below 60fps, and it’s not such a good experience so they notice it more, other people moan because they can’t get 60fps, anything less if garbage to them or they get tearing or sluggishness.
If the game was so badly optimised then I wouldn’t be able to hit 85 FPS on my GTX 660 on low, 1080p, medium textures, it never drops into the low 40s even when cars explode. I actually made a video on it.
Nope. For the level of graphics WD runs like garbage. Metro LL and Crysis 3 both run much faster on a 780Ti and look worlds better. Even on High, the textures in WD look like they came out from a 2008 videogame. What’s impressive are the water effects, some reflections of rain at night and to some extent the particle effects. The game itself doesn’t look next generation at all however, and we should expect that since it’s cross-platform for PS360 too.
Thing is though this game eats 3GB of VRAM at 1080P with Ultra textures and needs at least 4GB for 1600p. It would be acceptable if this game had the best textures of any PC game but it’s not even close:
http://www.hardocp.com/article/2014/05/27/watch_dogs_amd_nvidia_gpu_performance_preview/5#.U6LbqPmSwWY
Metro LL is a tunnel shooter LOL and Crysis 3 is a closed off world linear shooter and even that maxed out at 1440p uses 3.9GB of VRAM. How can you even compare them to a persistent open world game with no loading screens?
Stop being stupid comparing games that are not even comparable and the open world games that are comparable all need texture packs or mods to make them not look like sh*t.
Again some people just dont know WTF they are talking about!
How stupid can one get, it’s a damn open world game as you says bro, shesh what a genius ..LOL!
OMG Total War series looks like sh*t, Crysis 3 looks way better! *sarcasm*
Hell yeah I guess that fag sits on an ancient 10 year old card or so ..LOL!
And I agree, the game looking f*ckn fantastic!
get out you ignorant little scum, people on titans and 780ti have stuttering on ultra , “me on my 770 huurr duurrr” .. screw you scum
lol making a pc game with specific nvidia features ONLY available for nvidia users is splitting up the community. thats not caring.
It’s always going to be split up because both and NVIDIA and AMD both have their specific GPU paths and features, just like Intel and AMD have different views about core architecture and why AMD think multi-threading is where it’s at not single-threading.
ATI used to do the same thing, they need leverage to sell their products and honestly, really boring to not have NVIDIA or AMD have their own unique features, just like you’d buy a car with a specific feature you like.
they are flip flopping i just read an article on gamespot that says ubisoft ceo says that always online drm isnt an option and it will fail and you got to provide a better version with online features.
WHO? Ubisoft ceo the guy who said that always online drm is needed for the sucess of the title on pc and future soldier is not on pc because it will be pirated to death when in reallity they didnt have anyone to port it.
Everything ubisoft says are lies.
Thats why no one likes them on pc, becuase they are treating pc gamers like 12 year olds.

Watch Dogs was developed with PC being the lead platform, as are most Ubisoft games. The problem is that once Ubisoft finally received Dev Kits for PS4 and Xbone, they found out these “next-gen” consoles were substantially less powerful than they were expecting and had to completely re-work the game in order to dumb things down enough so the consoles could run it.
The fact that all the files required to make Watch Dogs look like the 2012 E3 debut have been found in the PC version, only deactivated shows they never had the time to optimize the game for PC and spent the last months including the delay focusing on consoles.
The problem with those kinds of settings is that the first thing most people do is crank all settings up to max, and a lot of PC gamers would find that the game runs like crap on their weak systems and then start the typical bitching about it being “unoptimized”.
Game developers can’t win. Too many gamers are ignorant, ungrateful twats that are completely out of touch with reality.
the game looks like arse and has stuttering on all systems, no one is talking about Maxed out.
I can emphasize enough how many features the game is missing, like say having super duper HBAO+ and not even seen an ounce of SSAO in my experiance….or shadows for that matter. Blurry textures too that repeat themselfs all the time, yet the game has crazy vram requirments.
Come on get real.
Speak for yourself. The game runs well for me and some of the best games I have enjoyed on my PC have been ubisoft games.
I’m speaking for myself, but this is also the opinion of a lot people who are tired of the load os bs that Ubisoft promises. Never said I didn’t like their games overall, just the majority of their design decisions and business practices. Lucky you you got the game working m8, unfortunatelly this isn’t a reality for a lot of people who bought, the game.
Apart from all the hate (well, not that apart), have you already finished the game? Watched Angry Joe review yesterday, and my god, it made me feel like is Assassins Creed all over again. :/ (somebody shouted W_D 2?3?Revelations (lol)?)
“The game runs well for me and some of the best games I have enjoyed on my PC have been ubisoft games.
Its YOU who is not a pc gamer and should go hang with the consoletards, ubisoft games are a mess on pc.
If you dont know that then please STFU and dont tell amir that he doesnt represent pc gamers because its YOU who doesnt represent pc gamers.
I see there is a fix for sli what about crossfire!!!
My friend. Nobody cares about Crossfire these days.
Nvidia has the market share for a reason.
terrible patch notes for PC “Fixed issues with sli crashing” ….what about crossfire? and the real question is, have you fixed dual GPU issues? because it doesn’t work anyway without massive stuttering and crashing! Nevermind the crashes because its unplayable in SLI & crossfire anyway.
Also “Several performance improvements” so what does that include? I see no mention of stuttering or any other important issues such as the fact that this game should be playable at ultra on 2GB cards (which has been proven with theworse mod)
Smells like a BS patch to me and it has taken them ages to even put it out…I do not hold any hope for this fixing anything.
and how nice of them to make PC users wait even longer for this shit patch, the so called “next-gen” consoles get it today.
i think i’m done with ubisoft games.
LOL yes give them even less reasons to care or bother porting to PC.
i don’t care. they can stop developing their sh***y games and sh***y ports for PC. it’s for the best, they can’t make decent games, all of their games are the same (Farcry is Assassin’s Creed in first person,Watchdogs is Assassin’s Creed with modernday setting), they only reskin them with the same bugs and glitches they are all still exist and not fixed in the past 8 years.they don’t know how to program,their games runs like s**t even on consoles.they lie all the time,they show bullshot and footages that are not exist in the final game. so nobody will miss them.
Please shut up. You don’t speak for PC gamers. You’re an idiot that should be playing on a console. You have the same stupid mentality as the worst console fanboys.
Yeah no..
f**k off kid before i f**k you up
ahhahah i also told him “yeah no”
:)) LMAO
“You’re an idiot that should be playing on a console. You have the same stupid mentality as the worst console fanboys.”
Yeah no, how about you take a look at yourself and what you posted then you talk.
i don’t care. they can stop developing their sh***y games and sh***y
ports for PC. it’s for the best, they can’t make decent games, all of
their games are the same (Farcry is Assassin’s Creed in first
person,Watchdogs is Assassin’s Creed with modernday setting), they only
reskin them with the same bugs and glitches they are all still exist and
not fixed in the past 8 years.they don’t know how to program,their
games runs like s**t even on consoles.they lie all the time,they show
bullshot and footages that are not exist in the final game. so nobody
will miss them…
Come on, “Implemented several performance improvements” clearly includes the stuttering people are having., could be SLI improvements, CPU improvements, memory improvements, just read between the lines for goodness sake.
Not even tried the patch yet and you’re still moaning.
I agree.”Implemented several performance improvements” is probably just what they included as a reference to all the performance issues.
ya exactly, its rare devs will ever include specifics as to which performance improvements their patches address. If you really think about it, why would they admit to each issue and that they caused it but now fixed it. Even though its easy to tell what was fixed, plausible deniability is the name of the game lol. Well I am sure the publishers have the last say in that though.
And you seem to assume that they went ahead and fixed ALL performance issues just because they say the fixed some. And you haven’t tried the patch either, have you? There’s a thin red line between playing devil’s advocate and defending the devil against reasonable critisizm.
I never said they fixed all the problems in the patch because no one knows since it’s not out yet, duh. Though one can assume “several” is most because the stuttering is the major one.
There are plenty of games that needed patches on release because of optimisation, the glorious The Witcher 2 had so many patches I lost count and it still stutters to this day because of it’s bad level streaming.
read between the lines? is it too much to ask for developer notes that are actually clear and concise? how hard could it be to simply address the issue of stuttering in the notes instead of providing an ambiguous statement like “several performance improvement”?
it’s not rocket science here, we shouldn’t have to decipher what they’re talking about. a simple “implemented several performance improvements and fixed stuttering issues” would have been perfect.
Not Fixed – Intentional Downgrade so it wouldn’t totally embarrass consoles. Especially the PS4 with it’s 900P 30FPS Superchargedness.
Better be 80% in the Steam sale if Ubi wants some goodwill

All these delusional mustards thinking affordable 4k is coming next year, $150 mid range cards can do 1440p 60 fps in a few years, and mobiles will be as powerful as a 1.84 TF console in a few years. Good lord.
Not everyone wants to game on PCs, if they wanted a gaming PC they would have bought one.
PS4 has some interesting architecture benefits over traditional split CPU/GPU split memory pool PCs, and other GPGPU customizations. PS4 is comparable to a mid range PC at 1.84TF considering the APU and GPGPU architecture benefits and low level single platform coding. For $400 you get a lot of price/performance, more than a $400 PC would get you. PS4 is better than most PCs. PS4 will have lots of good exclusives, both console only and PS4 only. Wait for later 1st parties to show what PS4 can do.
Xbox/PC fanboys seem to be on a war on people too poor or unwilling/unable to spend time and money buying, building, and maintaining a PC. Mustard race claiming they can afford multi-thousand dollar PCs but too poor to buy a $200-400 console.
Both PS4 and Xbox will have good exclusive games, high end PCs are best for multiplatform games if you have the time, money, and effort to build and maintain one. Only deranged fanboys keep chewing their own legs off screaming about “PS4 peasants”.
Mustards don’t have “a point”, they just hate anyone who doesn’t have the time, money, or interest in building and maintaining a PC, and hate the fact that consoles offer a comparable gaming experience and exclusive games they can’t have. Unless they grow up and buy a console themselves, which isn’t that expensive compared to their imaginary quad SLI 4k PCs.
Oh boy, an article full of mustard racers chewing their own legs off screaming about peasants and bad PC ports. Not sure how they can hate other people who don’t have the time, money, and/or interest in building and maintaining a gaming PC.
High end PCs will always be a tiny market, most PC gaming is done on low end PCs playing League of Legends, WoW, or other F2P or MMOs. Console game sales sustain the AAA industry, they’ll get the majority of developer focus most of the time in multiplatform games. Just because someone builds a $1000+ PC doesn’t mean anyone is obligated to make games for them.
I assume you pirate everything including Windows. PC master parasite more like it. Console game sales sustain the AAA industry. If it were all PC most games would be free to play or always online MMO type games that can’t be pirated, i.e. League of Legends, World of Warcraft, etc.
You sound upset that developers aren’t catering to the tiny number of high end PC users that actually pay for their games.
PS4 is raising the bar, it’s stronger than most PCs. You’re not getting a console that costs $400 and performs like an $1000 PC.

Targeting the widest range of consumers is called “business”, not “holding back innovation”. You’re making irrational demands for businesses to target the tiny number of high end PCs instead of the relatively gigantic number of mobiles, low end PCs/laptops, and consoles.
8+ million PS4s and counting. Nothing you say will stop it, you are helpless. Keep lying and hating while everyone else ignores you.
You should go back to sony site kid. You mad??
He has nothing better to do than spam the same nonsense at everyone who doesnt thing sony is the best thing after sliced bread you should see him claming disquss is filled with mentally ill xbot monkeys that throw feces aruond at articles that describe the bad finacials sony is experiancing right now, its hillarious.
Targeting the widest range of consumers is called “business” but it has held back gaming. Compare system shock to bioshock the difficulty curve in the later is mad not to start on all the systems cut to migrate it to the console. Now I’m not saying all games need to be complicated but depth comes with complexity plus almost all innovation starts on the PC and trickles down to consoles and as for the popularity the consoles the PS1 and PS2 hit their peek when they had the most pirated software hell the Xbox was easy to play cracked games look at all the games pushing to have MP just to get you online so they could check the disk was legit. Yes the high end PC market is small but the mid range is bigger then you can Imagen and more capable then a console slightly more expensive maybe but next hell PC’s have more power a bigger games library and cheaper games hell if SteamOS takes off why would you even want a console
• Implemented several performance improvements.
Oooh, I’m looking forward to this one.
Looking forward to smooth gameplay.
Implemented several performance improvements eh?
Yeah, it’s called mods. Seriously, The Worse’s mod on Guru3D.com makes the game look twice as good and run far better.
You suck Ubisoft, when a modder hacks the ALREADY EXISTING FILES and creates a better game than you can.
Updated patch changelog:
• Encrypted the shader and configuration files to maintain visual parity across platforms.
hahaha , f@kin idiots
Any wonder why people pirate their games?
watch tb video on watchdogs, he actualy talked about that, its clear they aim for parity.
Are you serious? (okay, I guess you’re not – it would be weird to update a list of updates)
SERIOUSLY?
Somebody please send this to totalbuscuit, he made a video about that.
It is not true(for now) , sorry i no checked the source , someone decided to troll Uby.
But I would not be surprised if this really happens.
Soo… has anyone tried this shitty company’s patch ? Does it give moar FPS and fix stuttering?
apparnetly it does nothing at all.
wow!!!
I like the part they were like “we got enough information and narrowed down the problem,thanks everyone we are wokring into a patch”
BULLLLLLLLSHHHHHHHHTT!!!
God I hope they patch in gang members into free-roam soon because the game is getting quite boring!
the sidestuff spawn more enemies as you progress the story, if you are in the first act, then yeah gansters are nowhere to be found…yet!!
I completed the whole game and I’ve never seen a single gang-member while walking through the streets, did you see any because otherwise something might be wrong with my game?
no you are correct i was reffering to the fact that during sidemissions they are capable of calling endless reinforcements. i run into a bug though thanks to the alone minigame, somehow the game thinks i got the vektor smg and wont let me buy it.
i still hope ubisoft could fix that broken driving
Soooooooooo can anyone confirm that the game works…..? I mean as it should have from day one?
No guest comments? Banning people from posting? Why do you hate freedom of speech, Amir?
The only content that should ever be removed from a comment section is spam.
i mean trolling
this is the only site that doesnt ban people even cinemablend changed its rules.
Yes, but can they fix the graphics?
no
