After hours testing... Watch Dogs (E3 Bloom effect working) # Part 2

remember to link your blog!!! And thank you in advance for your work.

Just a thing about the stadium lensflare: the "X rays" are too much strong and regular in your screenshot...nothing in nature is clearly regular, so i think that would be better to do something like the vanilla one, more irregular and "dirty"...and with a stronger gradient to full transparency, if it is possible.

 

I've been following the development of the mod since beginning even though I don't even own Watch_Dogs yet (will be getting it soon though, along with new PC) and I just wanted to say I'm really glad you're taking the time to bring the game's potential to maximum. Times have been rough, haters and copycats are aplenty, but in the end, quality work will always win. I'm looking forward to each new version of your mod and it's all absolutely stunning work. Rock on, TheWorse and don't ever let haters get under your skin. You have much greater fanbase than haterbase, and that's what's important! Thanks for all your hard work!

 

This^^

And this^^

I see you related^^ the claims. Great!

 

I Think yes. Your CPU is over 6 years old. If I were you i would buy a Intel Core i5. With that you should be fine, even if you buy a better GPU.

 

So where are people getting MalDo's V3 texture packs from ?

 

I think they mean the texture pack from MalDo in TheWorse Mod v0.8. MalDo never called it v3, but it is an improved version after v2.

 

Watch Dogs is a massive cpu hog, if you want to play with high or ultra settings you definitely want an i5.

 

In this kind of price, I advise you a 660 GTX rather than a 750 Ti.

(It's a shame I paid a GTX 670 Overclocked the same price... Strangely, we don't find anymore)

And yes, Watch Dogs needs at less an i5 CPU.

If you have a SSD, you can avoid most stutter even with everything to Ultra.

 

haha oke fine, thnks 4 ur help anyway, i prefer wait the 0.9 then

 

Hello everyone,
Is anybody able to say, if it is possible to get the E3 Coat Physics back.
Maybe TheWorse knows something about this files?
Good work with this Lensflares.

 

Wouldn't you be better off with a radeon 270 for the same price ? Better performance even in watch dogs, 256bit gdr5 vs 128bit. It's an overall better performer for the price, but not as energy efficient.

Well anyway I would have got a 270 if i had to choose between the two cards.

 

Thats false, using a ssd or not has nothing to do with stuttering... I compared that 1 month ago a usb external harddisk vs my internal SSD, using my ssd didnt changing anything to the stuttering.

 

Short answer to E3 "coat physics": Impossible. They were using physx for the simulation.

 

well ubisoft said that they used havok engine

 

Oh well, whatever. Havor or physx is not something you can bring back because now this are premade animations and react to the wind differently.

Anyways for my testing on 0.97 the coat moves slower, I think it looks more realistic than it used to be.

 

It's true. Why ? Because when you outpass your Max VRAM, RAM and pagefile are used instead. If you put pagefile and texture loading in a good SSD (in reading AND writing), the texture streaming will be improved, expecially with fast RAM. The speedy file and memory processing will compensate (not perfectly though) everything not handled by video memory.

The pagefile size have to be big though (10gb I think (I put 4.5 gb on the SSD and 6gb on an USB 3 external hard drive)) and fixed in size.

 

Hey @TheWorse! Would it be possible to get a link/download to your personal version of the mod for testing? I would be glad to help out and get some glitches taken care of. I really want this mod to be the best it can be. I could also help with anything else you need.

Both have the same bandwidth. I'd say save up $70 more and get a GTX 760.

That sounds pretty cool. On the off chance any of us prefer the original can this be an option we can switch on and off though? Or at least mention in the changelog which file it was so we can readd the vanilla one.

 

There will be no options to choose. And there is no file to add or remove from vanilla in order to change it. Just the speed of the coat is reduced so it doesn't wave like crazy.

Just one download and simple files to put in order to run it. Making too many presets and stuff for different people is not something I was enjoying.

Just made the blog. There is nothing yet, so don't ask why there is no download.
