Watch Dogs Ultra System Requirements Released

[mastrdrver]

So I just switched from two 5870s to a single R9 290x. Game plays very smooth now. I think the stuttering has to do with video memory size as my 5870s were only 1GB cards.

TheWorse's Watch Dogs mod is now available in the v1.0 final build, but sadly is yet to be packaged with the configurator the v0.8 build came with. I tried it and cannot stand the constantly shifting Boken Depth of Field, and it refuses to work with the configurator. Thus I reverted back to v0.8 using the configurator to disable DoF. It was quite an ordeal this time just to get it to do that, even after reinstalling the game.

Ubisoft seems to do nothing but sabotage perfectly good games anymore. If they experienced all the grief it causes, maybe they'd care more.

 

[DayKnight]

No thread to discuss this game?.

Played a couple of hours. Playing for more than an hour makes me nauseous. I see no FOV adjustment.

If the screen shot of Theworse mod on steam ( the picture example ) it look hell load worse to me in fact it looks terrible.

The end folder might be different too..

Files called GamerProfile.xml and there is a fov setting that it looks like maybe that will help ya out.

I'm rather impressed with the latest patch Ubisoft released.

Anyway, stuttering is pretty much completely gone for me. On High settings the stuttering is completely gone, on Ultra there is still very minor stuttering, but it is not nearly as bad as it used to be.

It's never stuttered for me and i see that you have a 4GB card so what is it that's making it happen on your system ?. Maybe if it was on a SSD it would not do it ?, as if a lot of data is requested of a HDD it would make stutters.

If that's true maybe they are putting more data in ram to solve it maybe.

Widescreen FOV=0.



I have no problems messing with config files but messing with this game?, I am holding back!.

So what if it says FOV widescreen.. Try it and see what happens it's not as if it's hard to change it back after lol.

RAM usage on my cards is not noticeably changed. It hovers around 2.2-2.3GB on Ultra.

The weird thing before the update was that I mostly fixed the stuttering by lowering the resolution to 1600x900, going back into the game, then raising it to 1920x1080 again. I could then play virtually stutter free for the rest of the session. But if I quit the game and loaded it again I would have to do the resolution "trick" again to get smooth gameplay.

 

[AsRock]

OOh it's not that low for me, but maybe others should try that res change see if it helps them.

 

[newtekie1]

Now that I think about it, I might be using High textures. I was switching back and forth between High and Ultra when I first installed the game to see if I could tell the difference(I barely could), and I think I ended up leaving it on High. I'll have to check when I get home and see.

Edit: I was on High textures. With Ultra textures my memory usage is about 3100MB.

 

[DayKnight]

So this game tried to blend GTA, Far Cry (3) and Batman. Cant judge though. I am not even midway AFAIK.

I am now at the BU*K**. If this doesn't scream Batcave, nothing does!.

Poorly made game though. I hate PC games with no FOV adjustment. Piss poor crap!.

That's quite an exaggeration really.

Still having fun with this game. The latest patch plus the -disablepagefilecheck command and editing out mouse smoothing has made it run pretty smoothly for me. I'm running all advanced settings maxed with 4xAA and High textures. The only slight annoyance is I still get a bit of mouse steering lag while driving, but no stutter.

Here's a little vid I just made of a way I came up with to make the end chase of Way Off The Grid pretty easy to do.

[DayKnight]

That's quite an exaggeration really.

We hack ctOS towers here and in FC3 we have radio towers. That is an exaggeration?. Many things reminded me of Batman Arkham Asylum/City.

 

[AsRock]

Yup, games on PC have gotten more console style over the years that's for sure. It just like the classic boss fight and there is no game what bores me more than a boss fight game.

To me company's just follow another and change is what they are scared of change now as the great compamy's like Bullfrog \ Microprose \ Janes are long gone now as majority of people don't want complex but i get this feeling people are starting to demand it again but it taken a hell long time.

Company's all so go for the graphics and if people realized that their is much more to gaming than just graphics and company's would get of their asses and some time realize if they make a good game ( NWN1 \ DA1 ) that a change was not required and just a continued story for the most part would of made another hit game.

Don't use Bioware as good examples man. Obsidian.

 

[AsRock]

Bioware is a great company ever thought they paired up with EA to save what happened to so many others ?. They just need to get their fingers back out of their asses, UBI Montreal have started to show what they can really do finally with FC2\3 although a shame it has to be a tower every time and would be nice at least to think more out the box about that part of the game and say maybe there is a building you can break in to as another option depending on skill.

Bio got idle and got Obsidian do it which screwed NWN2 up for so long, as some one said Osidian are good at one thing is they put the effort in to it and that's a good story so that said if Bio and Obsidian actually put all their idea's together they come up with a great game but i bet money might be a issue too.

Obsidian is far from a good company And they could of done way better with the story in FO:NV.

Off-T:

Really hope PsychoBreak comes out in October. Not that long to go.

You entirely missed the point. You made it sound like WD is a blend of FC3 and Batman, merely because a couple of it's elements are vaguely (very vaguely) similar. The part that's really laughable is your equating the bunker to the Bat cave, so I can just imagine what these "many things" are.

If we're going to go by your analogy we might as well say any games that have hideouts and objects that unlock features on the map are FC3/Batman clones. Games, esp shooter games, vary by their nuances. To ignore the many details that separate them is idiotic, just as is equating items that have similar purposes but are FAR from similar.

Why dont you go and actually play the game first. I know you like to spit and yammer most (if not all) of the time, but do go ahead and play the game.

Fast travel, radio towers =FC3. Two major ingredients of this game.

All that 'vaguely/very vaguely similar'.

Next time, I will write or try to write percentages for the "special" person you are.

Edit: My post, My views. How hard was that?. I wrote about the games I have played hence the 3 in brackets. I dont know if it copied/tried to blend something from the 1970's.

LOL, I've played through the game at least 3 times now, and this response only further exemplifies what I'm talking about when it comes to your extreme exaggerations. Fast travel and radio towers in and of themselves, somehow make it just like FC3? Never mind that games like Skyrim have fast travel, is IT like WD too? And there are TONS of games that have objects that unlock items on the map. Never mind as well that the ctOS towers involve far more than that.

I've played all 3 o f those games several times through and they aren't as similar as you make them out to be. Hey, here's one for ya. The Focus Boost is called "Meds" and slows down time. Better cry foul, that sounds a lot like a Max Payne clone. They're combining Painkillers and Bullet Time from that game. LOL

Point being, you didn't just mention your views, you cried foul over trivial, vague similarities as if they are rippoffs and deal breakers. As soon as I mention how exaggerated your "views" are (which 2 others seem to have agreed upon via their thanks), you come out with assumptions about my experience with the game and childish, passive aggressive insults, making it all the more obvious your emotions are too out of control to be judging ANY games, or gamers for that matter.

The most ridiculous and offensive part is your implying anyone that doesn't agree with your absurd viewpoints hasn't played the game and is mentally deficient, not to mention bordering on breakage of forum rules. I think you need a "Psycho break" yourself kid, your gaming is leading to distortion of reality.

Wall of text doesn't make you any smarter. Stop trying. It will hurt less.

I said WD is like them, not vice versa. Just shows, again, your ignorance ridden arguments.

In the end, I find it funny, how easily GTA was not quoted but FC3 and Batman was. By your "vaguely vaguely similar" bull, GTA should be out of the window too.

 

[erocker]

Tone down the language towards each other guys. Your arguments between one another seem to be a work of futility and are no longer relevant to the discussion. I highly suggest you end your discussion between one another in this thread or further action will be taken.

Thank you.

Here's a couple quick vids I just made.

SPOILERS

This one is just a crazy stunt way of doing the Ghosts of the Past mission with a quick escape method.

This is a way to do Sometimes You Still Lose easy with no Jam Coms, Blackout or kills in daylight on Realistic.

I made the 2nd one to show people complaining about escapes being too hard that the game if anything is too weak in AI once you get to know it. In fact I played my first run through on Normal with no Jam Coms or Blackout except where you have to via the tutorial for them, and that was using mostly motorcycles to escape ctOS scans and sticking to roads vs exploiting boats.

Mostly because most of developers are now lazy fucks who just port console stuff pretty much directly to PC.
