    serious prblem running Watch dogs (its not my pc thats the problem)

    i bought watch dogs and installed it in uplay. ive played a couple hours and i started to notice some graphic bugs, aiden is transparent as are the cars. i tried checking game files several times, it says some files are corrupted. uplay repairs the files, so it says. but i get the same error and bugs over and over again. i even tried downloading and installing it again. still it says game files are corrupt

    it wont let me play now, because i get serious lagg, i tried everything.

    anyone else have these problems?

    What are your system specs and settings? Also, you might wanna wait for tomorrow for the D1Patch to see if it fixes your problems.

    Hi and welcome to the forums,

    To help us, please provide as much information as you can in your post:

    Country + Format: (eg. United States - PS4, disc)

    Usernames & Gamertags: (PSN / XBL gamertag or Uplay ID)

    Frequency: (How often is it mentioned. How often does it happen to you?)

    Since when does it happen (This helps identify if a patch or DLC is the source of the bug)

    Describe what is the issue encountered: (Activation the game? / Problem launching the game? / Issue with a specific part of the game Mutliplayer? / But can you still access solo? )

    Define the Flow of the error: (What did you do before this error occurred? / Written description / Ex: “When I launch from the desktop it crashes”. “I received this error message : Error xx6546” / Screen grab of the error if possible will also help!)

    Anything else you think is useful:

    If you are on PC - please also give a copy of the systems DXDiag, this can be found by searching for dxdiag on your windows system.

    I got graphical bugs also, textures missing sometimes, etc, and my gpu overheats like it's never overheated before in it's life. Also got stuttering from time to time, especially while driving. (p.s. : driving in this game is one of the worst driving experiences I ever had in a game...boo)
    My case is literally filled with coolers, my gpu never reached 65* celsius in any game ever before, yet in WD I get to 80*...
    Saw on other posts that admins here ignore if I don't write my specs, so here goes:
    I7 3770k 4.2ghz overclocked
    8gb ddr3 2133mhz
    Installed on a Corsair SSD
    Gtx 760
    I ran the game both in my usual way (cpu overclocked to 4.2ghz, gpu overclocked to kingdom come, too lazy to look and write it down) and on all stock clocks, still got the graphical issues and all the above mentioned. Awesome for a 60 euro game to have such problems
