Ubi needs to hurry up and push out a patch

the thing with the DoF is it was already there. and I'm not saying the settings were hidden and/or disabled, because it used that DoF when you pulled out your phone

DoF can also be a crutch, like in Far Cry 3 where everything beyond 200m is lost in a blur, even when you're using a scoped weapon. that way they can render distant objects at a lower quality, because they know it will be all blurry anyway

personally I prefer DoF to be used subtly, and not a consistent blur. I like the dashboard DoF in the cockpit view, but at the same time, I wish it would sharpen when I look 'down' at it (the lack of ability to look around in cockpit view also sucks)

The DOF in this version is MUCH better. Performance is pretty swell too for me. 30-40fps average. 50-60 in open areas with less traffic. Sometimes dips below 30 through heavy traffic but it's so quick.
