    That´s Great :)
    Strange but i´m looking forward the most to the E3 Cloth Physics and Walking Animation. I know you said its already improved in your mod and it is kind of, but it´s not as realistic as in the first E3 Gameplay if you know what I mean.
    Maybe someone finds a solution on the New Thread :)

    Lunyah, 1st off I just wanted to mention you have done a great job with V3. Performance is indeed much improved since your last v2 update.

    A few things i'd like to ask/mention.

    1. You state that SMAA Temporal is doubled, but i'm not seeing much of an improvement there. If the mod is supposed to have no aliasing, then something is wrong because it is noticeable. In fact, I get better performance/AA using MSAA x 4 than SMAA T with this mod. I'm not using Sweet FX, so maybe that is masking some of the jaggedness.

    2. Is there a way to adjust DOF distance or can you provide a file with alternate DOF? It's just a tad too close for my tastes. It does adapt quickly though, which is nice.

    3. Is it possible to adjust brightness for Day/Night individually? Your setting of '10' makes it hard to see at night, but adjusting it higher makes it overly bright during the day. Just wondering if there is a happy medium.

    Keep up the good work.

    Yeah we hope that you can work with some other guys on there and get that working. I'm still working on the layout.

    yes, he modified the SMAA Temporal settings, but for me it actually performs worse than MSAA 4x now. Dunno, has anyone else done a comparison to see if MSAA or Temporal SMAA works better with this mod?

    Sorry, I should modify my statement. I haven't tried regular SMAA as it doesn't look quite as nice. So this is just an issue with SMAA Temporal.

    his temporal smaa is just temporal smaa + 2x msaa, so it shouldn't perform worse than 4x msaa, at least from my testing. it should have the same performance hit as 2xmsaa minus another 1 or 2 frames. As for which one looks better, I would say his temporal smaa.

    Well I won't argue with you as to what you personally think looks better, but if MSAA 4x is performing close/better to the same level as Temporal SMAA (which it basically is for me with the mod), I would choose MSAA 4x. Not a big deal, just wanted to let him know what i'm seeing is all.

    Mod looks and performs great, regardless.

    Tips for getting this working

    Follow the directions if you still get lag set the settings to high!

    I have been trying everything to get this game to run good on a rig with i7 4700k 12gb of ram and a 780ti this is the only mod that has worked for me, I personally like the warm preset.

    I wish there was one that wasn't so dark though just a little input.

    The #1 thing I did that I never thought would make any difference was I used defraggler to defrag my hard drive apparently this game installs everywhere.
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling as many of you prolly have and that might be why. Please defrag with defraggler it wont take long but it will help trust me. Do not defrag ssds! Just regular hd's not sure if thats a myth but Im pretty sure its true.


    Read the instructions and set it to SMAA not the one right above it! This will make the mod work great if you turn on txaax2 or 4 it will make it look funny when you move around with the camera so i recommend smaa not sure if im saying that right but what the man said on his first post follow it!


    I repeat defrag hds and it should work great and thanks to the man who made this mod it helped SOOO MUCH

    REQUESTS

    #1 please have a more regular colored but with the effects mod like this It seems a little to dark sometimes!
    #2 Please mod it so you can do 4x txaa if you have a really "nice" 3d card like mine

    Thank you for reading and I hope this helped your watch_dogs experience trust me defrag your hd.

    You may change dof by choosing a different one and packing it into the patch files.

    temporal SMAA shouldnt be slower then msaa. I tweaked it so it was between Temporal SMAA and MSAA 2 and 4

    you may change display settings in game with no problem. graphics settings its what you shouldnt change in order to use my tweaks

    Could I run it on high settings?

    Hey Lunayah. First of all, love the work only question is could I run this on high settings on my PC? I get a really smooth experience running the game on high settings rather than ultra. I don't have a maxed out rig, hope you understand. Thanks.

    Set in game brightness to 0:)3eyes:), contrast ist tweaked in colorgrading

    It's still sometimes too bright sun, but much better visibility in dark areas.

    I think you should check my file, the day looks nice contrast and dark areas have good visibility.

    But in some cases the game could use other colorgrading and then the brightness 0 can be to dark.

    Hey Guys,
    I can´t decide between Warm and E3 Atmosphere.
    I know most people use the Warm Edition but I like the kind of cold E3 Ambience in the E3 Version of this amazing mod.

    Could you help me to make a decision because actually im switching all the time to figure my favorite out. :D

    I´m also too stupid to implement the Light DoF from Boss to this mod.
    The "Full Modding Tutorial" was too complicated for me.
    Im just a Casual Gamer, you know.

    Thanks! :)
