Watch Dogs Ultra System Requirements Released

[Tintai]

I was surprised about that too. Even the pirated versions that can be found online are between 22-23 GB. Even in a unboxing video I watched had 3 DVD's included.

Yes, I have 3 DVD's.

Can't get Radeon Pro to work which I need to run SweetFX on 8.1. I know it isn't working cause the in-game overlay isn't working. Not to mention my toggling of sFX

I tried the modded XML file and it does look better especially with SweetFX on top of it

I got it to work by taking of admin rights on WD.exe.

Screenies please

 

[AphexDreamer]

Screenies please

Of sweetFX in action or of the admin rights?

EDIT: You probably mean sweetFX so yeah I'll post some screens.

Also i changed the settings from the modified XML from Ultra to high so I hope that didn't revert the whole XML.

Man If I knew uPlay took such low quality Screenshots I would have used FRAPS... Next time. At least I know it will upload.
The darker of the two is SweetFX On. It basically allows lights to be more distinct from the surrounding darkness. Colors stand out more.

I think it adds a realistic lighting to it, kind of like what skyrim realistic lighting mods did, made the nights like real world nights. Because of it, the rain isn't as easily seen in the dark with sFX on.

How do you know its on lol i can't figure mines out

Go to Radeon Pro settings and go to the SweetFX section, hit enable, choose the folder with the SFX content, make a hotkey (i use scroll lock).

Add a profile for WD exe, go to sweetFX tab and hit enable, load the custom sweetFX watch dog config you downloaded by scrolling down and hitting import settings.

Don't forget to right click the profile and hit apply now. Launch game and it should launch with it on, if not hit your toggle. Also try enabling OSD to see if Radeon Pro is even working with the game, mine wasn't because I had the game with elevated privileges and RP was without. I couldn't elevate RP so I just unchecked admin rights for WD exe.

Also if you do get it working, which you should, calibrate the screen brightness or else it will be super dark. I had to take mine from being able to see it at 30 (pre sFX) to being a perfect barely at 90.

alright

Just upgraded to a 280X from XFX. Now my game crashes on launch. Turns out I have to turn off uPlay overlay but its odd I didn't have to before.

Also I don't know if I need to reinstall drivers, since it seems like there is only 1 set of Drivers for all R9 cards, but I have yet to confirm this. So far everything else seems fine.

Going to try this myself, if not with WD with another game. I've never been able to get RP to do ANYTHING, not even simple things like VSync. It's not a very intuitive or well explained tool really. D3DO is SO much easier to use, but very limited in what it can do.

Any news when the patch will come out for Watch Dogs? I might buy the game if the patch solves the performance issues.

The GPU analizer does not work on http://www.geforce.com/games-applications/pc-games/watch-dogs/gpu-analyzer I tried chrome, ie and opera.

But I read:
Recommended System Requirements

• Processor: Intel Core i7-3770 @3.5 GHz or AMD FX-8350 X8 @ 4 GHz
• Memory: 8 GB RAM
• Graphics: GeForce GTX 560 ti or better

I have:
i7-4700HQ
8GB ram
GTX770M

I think I should be able to play it on high.

Does your Laptop use Optimus? If so your not gonna have much luck with this one so far

And of course the official Ubi line is they don't support Laptops

Good because if you read that thread it's totally screwed for Watch_Dogs.You should be fine and get to deal with the mediocre performance we all get until Ubi give us a patch...

Yes I'm waiting for the patch coming out, then I will buy the game.

Don't get me wrong I am still enjoying the game alot. I have about 75% completion and am almost finished the Story. I have been "trying" to take my time with it and I have done almost every side mission waiting to see if Ubi come thru but I just ran out of side mission that I want to do(Still have a few Fixer and Convoys) So I am gonna finish the story before Ubi "might" have made it a bit more pleasurable.
