With the recently released Watch Dogs patch for PC, PS3, and PS4, several issues, mainly in visual glitches, seem to have been addressed.
"We optimized some of the performance issues that were causing some users to experience high amounts of stuttering while playing Watch_Dogs." This was the pronouncement made by the team.
They further add: "Instances of stuttering during gameplay should now be reduced, especially when using 'High Textures'; however, some players might still experience some stuttering while playing with 'Ultra Textures' settings on."
Check out this Watch Dogs patch for PC changelog:
- Several fixes to improve NAT type error messages.
- Fix for PCs with multiple network interfaces.
- Fixed an issue at the Poker Table in which the button appeared corrupted after being pulled from the surveillance camera when Aiden is dealing the cards.
- Fixed weapon wheel issue that prevent shotgun selection with mouse.
- Fixed title crashes on loading screen, while Aiden selects to restart last autosave, after previously interacting with the slot machine from Mad Mile.
For PS3 and PS4 gamers, loading issues are now finally addressed. By reconstructing the corrupted save files, players can now get past the 90 percent marker in loading screens. However, according to Examiner, some of the collectible items may no longer be recovered. Another major fix targets to keep players from using hacks in a game.
The patch also promises to fix several mission-breaking bugs, as well as minor mission and item-related issues. For example, complaints about some missing items like the Conspiracy digital trip and Untouchable packs have been addressed now.
