Ubisoft is planning an update for Watch Dogs which will improve graphics and performance as well as many bug fixes on all platforms. The news of an official patch from Ubisoft comes hot on the heels of a user created mod that not only made the game look better but also optimized the game to perform a lot better on the PC version of the hacktivist title. Whilst the PC patch has focused on both stability fixes and graphical and performance improvements, the console versions will mainly fix the bugs that have plagued the game since release such as not being able to complete past 90% of the game. Here are the official patch notes taken from Ubisoft forums: MAJOR GAME FIXES • Automatically reconstructed corrupted save files which prevented loading to go further than 90%. Some collectibles may remain unrecoverable. • Fixed the issue preventing players from using hacks in game. GAMEPLAY FIXES • Fixed several mission-breaking bugs. • Fixed minor mission and item-related issues. • Fixed the issue that caused the empty weapon-wheel. MULTIPLAYER FIXES • Fixed several minor respawn issues. • Fixed some connection and session joining issues. PC SPECIFIC FIXES • Fixed graphical glitches on Low & Medium settings. • Fixed some crashes on SLI configurations. • Implemented several performance improvements. • Implemented a few control improvements. • Fixed issues causing infinite messaging and timing-out when trying to access the Online Shop from the Extras Menu while Uplay is set to Offline mode. • Fixed issues connecting to a Multiplayer game. • Implemented several mouse modifications. • Fixed “Drinking Game†control issue where wrong information was displayed when played with a gamepad. • Fixed “Chess Game†control issue. • Fixed bug where the invasion setting was never saved. • Fixed graphical issues during cut scenes and cinematics. • Fixed several graphical and texture bugs. • Removed Vista OS check to prevent false positives. • Added game version in main menu. The PS4 version of the patch has already began to roll out, whilst Xbox 360, Xbox One and PC patches will be available within the next few days.
