    Stuttering and Lag in Bounty Hunt and Online Invasion

    Ad the title says i suddenly have massive Stuttering and Lag in Bounty Hunt and Online Invasion, to a degree where it is almost unplayable.

    I have done no changes to my pc since it went from awesome to unplayable.

    It used to run great and super smooth...

    Am i the only one experiencing that?

    It is quite frustrating, since its a awesome game

    -help-

    Greetings and peace be upon you, i may be able to help if your vga is nvidia by downgrading the driver to 376.09 but it's just becoming slower i suggest the newest is better 387.92 in order to avoid crash to desktop. If it's ATI Radeon then i'm sorry i can't help. For stuttering problems this might kill the blur mode even if you turn that feature on, here are the tips:

    Navigate to Documents\My Games\Watch_Dogs 2 and open WD2_GamerProfile.xml.

    Find and change the following options to these:
    > DeferredFxQuality="pc"
    > MaxDriverBufferedFrames="1" (1~5, high values increases fps but increases input lag)
    > OptimizedDepthOfField="1"
    > OptimizedMotionBlur="1"
    > Smoothness="0"
    > RenderRain="1"

    if you need more info go to this website: http://www.debafu.com/2017/01/watch-...d-fix-low.html

    Please give the troubleshooting steps listed below a try. If you still experience the issue after trying these, submit a ticket at our support site, so we can take a deeper look into it.

    1. Restart your modem/router for 30 seconds.

    2. Verify your game files and launch as an administrator

    3.Make sure the drivers for your video card, sound card, motherboard and processor are up-to-date.

    4. Clear your temporary files

    Thanks - But none of the above helped me..

    So i tried to revert back to Geforce Driver Update 387.92 from 388.00 That seemed to do the trick! Runs Smooth as a kitten again..

    So must be something in that new update that makes problems for me.. hope updates after 388 will be ok.

    Thanks both for replying!
