A couple of weeks ago, Ubisoft finally released the much anticipated PC update for Watch_Dogs. A lot of gamers were expecting the stuttering issue has been resolved. After all, Ubisoft claimed that it has added a number of performance improvements in this patch. However, it appears this patch made no difference to the irritating stuttering, if not making it even worse than what it was before.

According to a lot of reports, this update does not fix the stuttering side-effects and in various cases it makes it even worse. Gamers have been following NeoGAF, Guru3D, Reddit and Watch_Dogs official forum, and almost all users are reporting a far worse experience after applying the latest update. Even users with high-end graphic cards like SLI Titan cards are experiencing major stuttering while driving.

Guru3D's member 'Lunayah' has released the final version of his graphical mod/tweak/tool for Watch_Dogs. This mod comes with five different presets, meaning that PC gamers can choose between: Warm, Cool, Subtle, E3 Original and Vivid atmospheres. Naturally, this isn't yet a perfect mod, meaning that some may encounter visual or performance issues. From what we've seen this far, however, this mod is the one with the minimal performance hit (that also enhances visuals).

In this latest version of Lunayah's mod, the game has been tweaked for better colors and shading. In addition, the rain and weather effects have been further tweaked and there is more natural lighting and illumination in the town. Moreover, the annoying headlight flickering has been partially or completely fixed (thanks to cemnahit).
