Watch_Dogs PC Patch (2014-07-29) | Forums

[Nik_CtOS]

Hi all,

Recently, we optimized some of the performance issues that were causing some users to experience high amounts of stuttering while playing Watch_Dogs. Instances of stuttering during gameplay should now be reduced, especially when using “High Textures”; however, some players might still experience some stuttering while playing with “Ultra Textures” settings on.

We’ll keep updating you as more fixes for stuttering are currently being worked on.

If you still experience stuttering after the optimization, please let us know in this thread.

Here is a list of other fixes:
• Several fixes to improve NAT type error messages.
• Fix for PCs with multiple network interfaces.
• Fixed an issue at the Poker Table in which the button appeared corrupted after being pulled from the surveillance camera when Aiden is dealing the cards.
• Fixed weapon wheel issue that prevent shotgun selection with mouse.
• Fixed title crashes on loading screen, while Aiden selects to restart last autosave, after previously interacting with the slot machine from Mad Mile.

Thanks,
Nik

When you say "recently", are you refering to the previous patch, or does it mean that additional stuttering fixes were applied in this new update?

I am still getting massive stuttering even on high textures.... Maybe on the third try you guys will succeed, but I highly doubt it.

I have the same huge amount of stutters on High and Ultra texture settings, doesn't seem like the patch had any effect. It's still only playable(still stutters but every few minutes instead of every few seconds) for me if I go to Medium and turn off SLI.

i5 2500k @ 4.7Ghz

Ubisoft won't be attempting to make TheWorse mod work with their updates. They've stated that the graphics won't be like the 2012 version because issues arose across the board, so they've been scaled back.

If you want TheWorse mod graphics, you'll have to continue using it, or other external plug-ins or add-ons.
