Meh. The game is sort of boring really. It doesn't draw you in well to the story. Also performance is diarrhea tier.

Update out, changed SplashScreen.exe, Watch_Dogs2.exe and Disrupt_x64.dll
For EAC it also altered the cache and certificate files and the English language license agreements were updated.
No changelog far as I can tell, perhaps it tweaked EAC or maybe it's some smaller bug fixes.

And worse performance, as reported by most.

Missed a few files.

sound_english.dat (0kb, broken now?)
EDIT: And a couple of .dat files for the San_Francisco map itself.

let me guess, you maxed everything?  |
Not really. Only rocking MSAAx2, shadows are not even on highest..

extra details maxed out. yeah, that's what's killing you. this setting is at 0 even at the ultra preset. it's extremely CPU and GPU heavy, and unless you are looking into distant buildings all the time, comparing screenshots, you won't even notice it.
My suggestion, start with the ultra preset,and go from there. raise settings until you start getting lower frames than you like. |
Yea, I know. I only played for about half an hour. Gonna mess with settings regardless.
Anyway, my point was. If I can't max out game at 1440p resolution with my OC Titan X then game has pisspoor optimization. |

I strongly disagree with that though. A piss poor optimization for me is a game that can't run at 60 fps at any settings, and one that requires an i7 and a high end card to be playable.
Mafia 3 is a piss poor optimization game. regardless of the settings, anything above a 41 fps cap, will choke my i5 and cause stuttering.
Dishonored 2 is the next tier, not piss poor, but poor. very little scaling with lower settings.
Watch doge 2 for me is a quality release. Ton of options, scales down nicely, and has future proof settings which wreck performance on current hardware. (This wasn't very wise of them, as it's pissing off high end GPU owners)
Obviously, your mileage may vary, but that's my take on it.

Maybe that's the wrong term. It's a good PC port/version, thus offering lots of options to play with, but may be a bit poorly optimized. I feel performance could generally be improved, despite my system, a few games have shown to utilise some low-medium systems better than others.

yeah, I can agree with that, and I bet nvidia had their fat fingers in that as well, making sure that some settings need high end SLI.

Well PCSS, HBAO+ and the HFTS stuff isn't cheap and the fog effect has a pretty dramatic impact on framerate too whenever that weather condition comes around.
MSAA for a D3D11 deferred rendering game is also not cheap so neither is TXAA which uses MSAA plus it's own temporal solution.
Beyond that it's probably the usual with LOD, draw distances, VRAM (texture detail primarily but some other stuff too.) and shadow detail even besides the Nvidia soft-shadow stuff.
It is pretty scalable though but in comparison something like GTA V runs a lot better so I don't know about optimized but there's plenty of settings to disable if it comes to that.
(Rockstar had their own moment with the GTA IV release though...)

This PC patch has the same fixes as the patch 1.06 for PS4 and Xbox One with a couple more fixes that are PC-specific. These two additional fixes are:
• Improved stability on AMD Crossfire systems – This patch fixes instability on Crossfire systems (AMD dual GPU systems).
• Fixed Donut NPCs Glitch – After downloading this patch, PC players will no longer see hilarious hordes of Donut people roaming the streets. Only a regular number of Donut people should now be seen on the streets.
This patch also has the same fixes as the latest console patch:
Online Performance
• [Performance] Game Crashing – This patch will have various crash fixes for a smoother gameplay experience.
• [Online & Multiplayer] Seamless Online – Players should now experience improved reliability of seamless online and matchmaking through the Multiplayer App.
• [Multiplayer] Activity Frequency – This patch fixes the issue of the cooldown resetting after a player dies while being the target of a hack during Online Invasions. Players should now experience regular cooldown times and a normal frequency of getting hacked during their gameplay.
• [Online Invasions] Target Detecting Hackers through walls using NetHack – Some players reported being able to detect Hackers through walls using NetHack during Online Invasions. This bug is fixed in this patch.

As for me I don't want any "future proof" settings that just load GPU\CPU but do not provide any WOW visual effect considering what hardware they require.

I don't see the need for it either, but that's the benefit of the PC platform: we get options, and we have the opportunity to choose or ignore those options.
I'd rather have a developer add this to the game and let me choose whether or not I want it. Since this setting isn't even used in the Ultra setting, people have to max it themselves. It's better than the console world where developers decide what it or isn't worth it and choose for you. Here, we decide for ourselves.

add -eac_laucher to steam launch options, and I guess in uplay make a game shortcut with that cvar. not sure if uplay has something like the steam lauch options.
it kills MP and makes new versions of RTSS OSD work.

Oh man, I'm having so much fun playing this game. That New Dawn Center hacking mission was freaking excting, I failed it a couple of times, but when I finally got it perfect it felt so satisfying 
My best advice for people who are going to play this is: forget about the fucking guns, set difficulty to realistic and try to do everything the stealthy way and use your gadgets, hacks, etc. and even if you fail, try again. It's so much more gratifying, plus it makes the characters actually make sense. It's like you have the same fun the characters are having by performing their hacks/stunts. Hell, I think I could even see a successful tv show based on this setting and characters

I see benchmarks with a single 1080gtx with avg fps around 75 on res 1080p. They use the ultra preset and with Temperal Filtering off.
Im never get that fps, maybe indoors.
My system:
Core i7-4790K
16 gig ram dd3
msi geforce 1080gtx gaming

1600mhz RAM? look a few pages back for the difference RAM speed makes in the game. it severely limits the minimum FPS you will be seeing.

So this is really true with that ram? Why don't they say nothing about ram speeds is sys requirements? Is this just bad optimalisation?

I changed the shadows from HFTS to ultra. Now i can play everthing on ultra settings and extra details on 100% except msaa off. This is also with Temporal Filtering off.
