Includes TheWorse modifications version 0.7b for enhanced graphics

IMPORTANT - READ FIRST!

-This version allows to play the game with bearable texture aliasing.

-This is a stuttering fix for people that have stuttering using ultra textures

-It contains a compilation of Ultra textures without mipmaps used as High textures + TheWorse mod 0.7b

So, what's that?

A way to play with ultra textures in 2 GB and maybe less memory gpus. Feedback will be used in a next version.

How to use it:

1. Unrar the file and copy patch.dat and patch.fat into your watch dogs "data_win64" folder (make a backup if you already have a modded patch file)

2. Multigpu users, disable multigpu in your drivers (remember, this is only a test). Recommended to use Adaptative Vsync too. SLI and CrossfireX can increase your raw performance but stuttering will be worse.

3. Start the game

4. In the game options menu, select your native resolution and max rendered frames = 2

5. VERY IMPORTANT: Select HIGH TEXTURES!!!! (NOT ULTRA, you will see ultra textures using High texture option)

6. Players with 2 GB of VRAM, set high or medium shadows and reflections.

7. Resume game. You will could see texture aliasing but the stuttering should be reduced.

To uninstall the test patch, delete both patch.fat and patch.dat and restore your old modded patch files in case you had one mod before.

MaLDo – best known for his amazing texture pack for Crysis 2 – has released a new version of his tool/mod for Watch_Dogs that lets gamers enjoy Ultra textures with reduced stuttering on GPUs with 2GB of VRAM.

This latest version of MaLDo’s mod is compatible with TheWorse’s mod. This mod is described as a stuttering fix for people that have stuttering using ultra textures.

MaLDo has combined Ultra textures without mipmaps used as High textures + TheWorse mod 0.7b. As a result of that, there is a slight texture aliasing issue introduced (which should be bearable for most owners of 2GB GPUs).

Sooo what did this fix? I did the whole Vsync Adaptive mode and it limited me to 30fps. I finally just said fuck it and put my settings at Recommended for like, medium everything. Now I am running the game above 60fps. It's sad considering I have a 4670K OC'd and a MSI 780. Honestly, it's come to this. I honestly didn't see any stuttering fix because everything was still lagging. I have a great rig so why are these games lately acting so much like shit?

Because your PC isn't powerful enough. You need a PS4 or Xbox to play the game at max settings... duh!

Oh... damn why didn't I just spend $500 on the console plus the extra $60 for controllers and the game! Damn I am so stupid xP

Firstly his PC is better than a PS4 and a Xbox One, secondly Watch_Dogs looks better on PC. The reason why the game doesn't work well on his PC is because the game has poor performance. All PC's including ones with a Titan Z, which is a 3200 dollar GPU have problems running Watch_Dogs because that game has so many performance issues. There is also no possible way that a console could run a game better than on PC. That game was built on consoles just like any most games are, so the port to PC was poorly done. Also the update that was recently release to fix stuttering problems doesn't even work. Watch_Dogs runs worse than it did before the update on my computer.
