Because, I like messing with people, sort of. People can believe I'm a liar all they want, I really care less, just entertainment, but in all honestly I'm not telling any lies. So I prefer to just let people believe what they want. If nobody cared and never asked for pics, I prolly would've posted em'. I've posted them elsewhere anyway. So yeah, it's not a big deal to me whether people believe me. Doesn't effect my pay or pussy either way.

But anyway, you want "proof" I'm on the level to draw your own conclusions as to whether I'm lying or telling the truth. Check this pic, notice the neighborhood and houses, guess who that was about? More detailed info here.

In any case, I'm off to sleep and gonna fuck off now, let the thread get back to normal. Better just to keep to "opinions" and game discussion on GAF for me I guess...

I like how instead of posting pics that you've posted elsewhere you just went into some stream of consciousness insecurities for a minute.
 
Reading around (reddit and other forums), sounds like the stuttering seems to be caused by pagefile issue. Tons of reports of pagefile getting extremely big the longer they play. Hopefully its a bug and gets fixed right away. Still though, what an absolute mess. Does Ubisoft not have a QA department?

Shelby GT500, if not Mustang....maybe $ 60k?

I would not kick that car out of bed.

I'd like to know about this as well...

Someone has posted pictures of sweetfx on gaf I think. I remember seeing them, a ton of pictures, though I did look at reddit recently and could have seen that. Though I specifically remember it being gaf and a big imgur album.

Thanks google:
I got sweet fx to work with Watchdogs and it looks way better.

Anyway let's bring this thread back 'round.

There ain't no coming back from the hell we've seen. This thread must be purged with the Emperor's holy flame.

So has anyone tried SweetFX or anything like that on this game? Something that adds more pronounced DoF would be cool.

Yes, SweetFX is working. One of the souls in this thread posted pics. I can't say a post # though.

This thread moves too fast. Are we still waiting for the AMD updated drivers?

I have Geforce and got the drivers installed but a buddy has AMD and I was going to help him get it set up and ready to go.

You friend should be happy that he got it early. The good thing about the Nvidia driver to me was that it gave me something to do. I went back to try old games, and just a few minutes ago I remembered to load up modded skyrim. So far, I really love the last two nvidia updates. I'm due for a cpu and motherboard upgrade.
 
Uhh... Are we supposed to have access to the game now? GMG still hasn't sent me a Uplay key...

I don't think it unlocks until midnight on UPlay, but as far as GMG goes there seem to be severe issues with them putting out codes. The Australian and UK markets still haven't received codes from GMG, and it is several hours past the point when they should have.

I finally just decided to cancel my GMG pre-purchase and go for Steam. I had some extra Steam wallet cash and I'd like to be able to pre-load to play tonight, not to mention given the GMG issues I didn't want to risk it being longer of a wait.

How hard is it to sort out a digital launch UBI. They're keys.

I don't get this either. People already have actual copies of the game and they can't even release a game digitally. It's 2014 god damn it.

Also Steam says 8 hours, until release... Fuck that...
 
Nvidia Beta drivers listing Watch Dogs improvements just came out.
GeForce 337.88 Driver
New in GeForce 337.88 Game Ready WHQL drivers
• Game Ready - This 337.88 Game Ready WHQL driver ensures you'll have the best possible gaming experience for Watch Dogs.
• Performance – Introduces key DirectX optimizations which result in reduced game-loading times and significant performance increases across a wide variety of games compared with the previous 335.23 WHQL. Significant CPU overhead reductions in the driver result in performance gains that will often favor CPU-bottlenecked situations. Per usual, results will vary depending on your GPU, system configuration, and game settings.

It was up almost 12 hours ago. There's also improvements to everything. Really loving the Mantle / new Directx movement.


System-wide across all titles. As mentioned earlier, hard to bench Watch Dogs old vs. new WHQL due to some engine changes.
 
It's a Shelby GT 500 Supercharged, yeah...it's nice. I like it anyway.

And all dem haters. I might as well just shut up about anything PC related from now on, otherwise I'm obligated pics and called a liar. But whatever lol, getcha pull.

You guy's want pics of everything including peripherals, gift me a TF2 key for each or get off my ass. I'll even pose in the shots if you want. lol ...jk

Oh. I figured it was actually a nice car, since you bragged about it in a Watch Dogs thread. Dissapointed.

But I digest, back on topic.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
So I'm guessing the tessellation/parallax occlusion mapping never made it into the game?

Alternatively: was never there.

anyway! back on topic..... it seems some people are getting better performance on lower end rigs than people with titans. typical ubisoft optimisations huh.

Thanks for this, I have the same CPU but a 4GB 770 instead of a 750ti.
 
Wow. People posting technical impressions of a pirated game. They hack those games to shit to get them to run, fill them full of spyware, etc.

Guessing you didn't bother to read the thread lol

Am I crazy? I thought I just read a bunch of people admitting to posting technical impressions of a pirated version of a game?

I can't remember the name, but there was an indie game that got a bad reputation after people played a broken pirated copy and filled the Internet with bullshit about how the devs released a broken game.

I'm a bit scared going into my first PC game that actually demands patches and drivers and what not. All I've played so far are these Lego games, just turn every setting to the max and it works. I truly am a console gamer :p

Can anyone give me a brief sum-up for what I have to do before playing the game so it runs smoothly?

Change your mindset and boot the game, put everything on low or off, pick your default resolution, and cross your fingers. If you're feeling adventurous put some things up a notch, and turn some things on then try it out.

If you are on a Nvidia card let the GeForce Experience tool pick optimized settings for you.

What card and processor?

If you have a decent rig and don't want fuss, I'd just set the overall graphics to high and 1080p and go enjoy. It is ultra settings that seem to be pushing people's systems.

Motherfuckin' EA keeping me from a Ubisoft game.

On a more serious note, has anyone bought a third party game through Origin before? Am I right to expect a Uplay key?

I don't have anything spectacular, I won't be running this game anywhere near ultra and most likely on high neither. But since this will be the first time I'll have to toy around with the settings, patches and maybe mods when they come I have no clue what I'm doing :p

I'm gonna play on an MSI GE40 laptop. i7 4702-MQ processor, GTX760M and 8GBs of RAM. So yeah, these Lego games aren't very demanding but Watch Dogs is truly something else.

So mods want proof of ownership from me....

...based on my impressions of a YouTube video.


Doesn't pay to have a
bad
sense of humour, does it?

Look at this prerelease shot. POM or tesselation on the ground. Completely absent from the release game. Also, the game does not nearly look this fantastic imo.

People actually think those shots represent the game?
