WTF, I cannot get this to work. I place the two patch files in the data_win64 folder and changed the xml, but nothing changed when I started up the game.

What the fukk am I doing wrong? Where's the fukking readme? :mindblown:

i'm just gonna throw this idea out there...

perhaps the devs wanted us to find out that the PC version was dumbed down and they want us to know that PC gaming is being held back by consoles.
i'm sure the people who make the games want to make the best product possible but that simply is not possible if you are making it for a console.

this could be their way of giving us what they really want to make but were unable to.

my thoughts exactly^^^^

and fukk all this discussion i wanna see more sexy screenshots dammit :noah:

Yes all you have to do is drop those two files into the data_win64 foler and edit the xml in Documents\my games\Watch_Dogs

Modding doesn't get any easier than this...

Did you change the line in the xml correctly? I did and in game put my settings to high and it worked.

Yeah, I changed it to say Quality="ultra"

I'll try putting the settings at high and see if that makes it look any different

Nah, nothing. It's still ain't working. You just opened up the xlm file in notepad, changed the text and clicked save right?

Did you edit the XML file? I didn't have to do that step because my game is defaulted to Ultra already but check to make sure yours says quality="ultra" or quality="high"....the mod will not work on any other settings including custom...It must be Ultra or High...

Anyways here's proof this shyt works and the visuals are crazy...I should note my game is using a cracked exe...

These are my screenshots...1080p 60 frames with light dips...

Best way to know its working is if you see Aidens shadow when standing in front of a vehicle with its lights on...

The vanilla will not display that shadow or DOF you see...

I'll he honest, I looked at some of the pictures on the first page
and I'm just not seeing what's so great about these pictures.
The Depth of field has been turned up to stupid amounts like
the earlier vids but to be honest, it's like you're playing the game
and the camera has cataracts, doesn't look good :ld:

:edit:
Make a game for six platforms and still get called
lazy by idiots brehs.

yes
I think i may have gotten it to work (thanks @Orbital-Fetus . Everything looks blurry now, so I guess it working. I got no performance increases and the stuttering didn't stop. Plus it locked up my system (watch dogs keeps doing that to me for some reason though).

I'm gonna try again tomorrow, but this mod might have to go in the bushes for me

the mod is still in "beta"...give it some time and try the newer versions when they come out.
