got it to work.

Performance is a lot better. that dof stuff is just overkill, shyts just blurry then all of a sudden pops into focus. shyt doesn't really look right, I can see why they removed it.

Beyond any "lazy devs" "downgrade" talk. I wanna know why ubisoft released such a broken game, if it was this easy to fix. What the hell did this dude change/remove to get it working better?

so beyond the obvious reasons, you want ANOTHER explanation

if you just want them to lie to you, why does it matter?

its funny how all the major gaming outlets are ignoring this story when its huge. the implications of releasing an inferior game on purpose is unheard of

"lazy devs" doesn't explain this. if it took one guy two weeks to fix, they could have done that dozens of times by now. Has to be a better explanaition. "lazy devs" is just an easy cop out. They really need to address this

this was the effort of lazy devs that didn't want to the PC version to extremely outshine the console versions. you ignore the console downgrade but deep down you know it happened. ubisoft would've looked pretty bad if the PC version came out looking like the 2012 E3 trailer, while we were stuck with the clearly inferior "next gen" versions

that's the dumbass tinfoil hat version. :heh:

the visual "improvements" aren't really improvements. They look good in screenshots, but they do not look right for a full open world game.

I'm talking about the performance issues that have been easily fixed, "lazy devs" does not explain that

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.

Nah, its probably what happened.

They wanted all those $60 purchases on the new consoles and could not have a clearly superior version out there that many people are picking up via free keys, discounts and pirated.

Hell they caught some flack because people were bytching about watch dogs not looking that great on the PS3/360 :wtf:

Anyway, looks like I might pick this up when it gets cheap. I am waiting on this 750 Ti to come to me and will be trying it with that and an i5

I just cant imagine why a company would shoot themselves in the foot like this just to appease fakkits who laud console graphics.
