    Is there a way to ensure I have an unpatched install with uPlay when I unisntall and attempt to re download and install? I mean if I delete the game and re install, uPlay can patch it automatically, how to disable it?

    Actually, it looks better without official patch, but still has got that white fog at the back, if thats what you wanted to show. But it looks better than that.

    Like i said , clear daylight is affected by trying to achieve the E3 feeling everwhere else. One of the reasons UBI had to remove almost everything from the final build, because by adding all that, it messes up the clear daylight, there you go crappy daylight at the final build and all removed everywhere else.

    I wanted to achieve the best looking everywhere, clear daylight is still looking not good, and im going to try to fix it , but dont expect same visuals everywhere else.

    Dou you have the official patch applied? Game version 1.03.. something? Then it is due to patch the fog and white is over the top I think, Kadz says with no patch it is much less pronounced but still fog can be found and not that extreme.

    The weather effects are spot on! The trees move in a natural way even when they are moving a lot "perfect". Everything looks great. I even like the exaggerated smoke stack smoke. The only draw back is, one minute its smooth as silk and the next its stutters so bad I can barely move. Too bad because it looks great.

    Solo,
    What do you have your texture set at? Ultra?? I believe he said set it to high to make stuttering better. a thought

    Guys, please don't flame me but I have a "dubious" question in case someone already tried it:

    If I download an unofficial version of the game and then paste everything on top of the official uplay version with the exception of the game executable file, would it revert the official patch? Or even better could I overwrite everything (without cr*acks of course)?

    I figure unofficial versions are based on the legit versions right? er... or would it get me banned from uplay? (I really don't want to promote piracy here and I have a legit copy of the game, I just want to remove this damn patch and can't think of nothing more, besides this or completely uninstalling one and installing the other..)

    Don't get me wrong, the fog (but not the extreme version found in the patched game) adds authenticity, and makes it similar to E3, but for E3 they controlled every piece of environment and particle effects in my belief and that is why it won't be ever like E3 as you have said before. You also said they added particle physics from a software that dates to 2002 but then it is nowhere in the final build of the game (obviously nVidia didn't want any sofware render of partical physics when there is PhysX, but then didn't add that TOO :D) So overall we won't get the same exact E3 feel. One impossible task would be making in-door areas like E3 had, nearly every building could be netered, including the Pizza place right accross the Theatre...

    In my opinion, you should make changes as you prefer them and still add options of not having or having it medium if yours is maximum.

    For DOF, you should have DOF for driving (car and boat) to have the same experience, and also make DOF dynamic all time. If I look at something close to me, the depth should be blurry, but if I look far enough, only building tops and the stuff in the distance should be blurry.

    For fog the same applies, OK given I had the patched version I will revise my video and upload tomorrow a new one with no patch; but fog should also be sometimes there sometimes not, kind of like rain, it sometimes rains but not always, so fog shouldn't be omnipresent (always there) it should like come before rain, sometimes comes and goes and no rain... Overall it should be like any weather condition. If you can't achieve this then maybe you should make a version with no fog because as much as I liked it, I would like to have an all clear sunny morning without any fog as it is WIP maybe you can add fog into the weather cycle, and prevent it from always appearing.

    There are some black textures visible if you shoot cars near the mirror and right at the mirror, and I think it is due to missing reflection texture packs or a glitchy shader.

    I used Ultra texture and performance was not great, but still I will insist on having Ultra textures if possible.

    In uPlay right top has a gear symbol, click on it, then settings, on Network tab there is "Always start uPlay in offline mode" check it, then this way when a game is isntalled (online) go offline right after installing and do not start the game, it won't find any updates, as long as you do not start the game in online mode..

    Do you use the games own Vsync? Then use another fps limiter, CCC if you use AMD or any other program, it helps in stutter but not in overall performance.

    Have you found a way to reverse the patch? Can you please share on how to do it?

    Thanks in advance!

    I like the Mod but I really don't like the DoF at all, though it makes for splendid screen grabs. The white sky in the day and stuttering also bring it down, I did use Ultra textures though lol. Everything else is superb, the wind, rain, explosions, light sourcing etc. Hopefully patch integration can smooth out the frame rate.

    No easy way, I deleted my game uninstalled from uPlay, right now it is downloading from uplay, when it finishes, I won't start the game but go offline, and this way it won't search for a patch, aslo I made sure uPlay always starts in offline mode. So if you have gamefiles (like you mentioned, which may get you banned!) then unisntrall the game and place things like music.dat and windycity.dat files that takes a lot of space except for disruptengine.dll, watchdogs.exe and any other "may be contaminated" stuff then click download or verify files, the rest will be downloaded (at least not all) :)
