UPDATED Sweet FX for the mrged Mod http://sfx.thelazy.net/games/preset/1744/ (add SMAA and HDR effects)
1. Im using win 7,so i didnt need RadeonPro for sfx. if you get RadeonPro working /using for WD, just dl the sfx setting and load it via RadeonPro or rename the sfx preset to SweetFX_settings.txt and copy it to Watch_Dogs/bin directory maybe you see if it work by using this in game preset hotkeys: // key_toggle_sweetfx, means enable /disable sfx = 45 ; 45 = Einfg / insert button // key_screenshot = 35 ; 35 = Ende-> / end button (screenshot will be save as bmp in wd/bin folder) // key_reload_sweetfx = 46 ; 46 = Entf. / del Button (reloads sfx if you edited the preset by playing ) 2. screens on First page are from untouched FINAL MERGED_FULL without sweet fx FoC only concerned whats descripted (always rain, other car lensflares, light depth of view... ) 3. terms HQ chars, i didnt test but make an installer to merge. maybe game not start but didnt know why, maybe a file size issue (i didnt Support if you get problems to get it working)
Marduk, what do you recommend for stutter free without degrading graphics? I can't play smooth on high.
so, my setting work i see it in the pic. the "overlay" issue is a cause of HDR effect, i had thought its Not visible. I dont registerd by normal gameplay So what two options a) deactivate HDR #define USE_HDR 1 b) edit HDR setting #define radius2 0.80 hope this helps. just open SweetFX_settings.txt or edit in RadeonPro. PS i edit the Post above. you can simply edit preset with Texteditor or RadeonPro by playing, so you will see results immediately.
1. ingame settings are edited to high = vanilla ultra Medium = vanilla high maybe you try the custom in game settings to balancing set textures settings to high (i see you got a 2gb vram gpu) try the performance folder in FoC
hm.... I please to read the First page and what i wrote above. 1. Best visuals - set settings to ultra in game menu (recommend is 3,9ghz processor wich can handle 4 threads, 3gb gpu, 8gb RAM) if you get stutter, make custom settings in game menu(set down shadows to high, and so on) 2. Nude Mod could be deactivate by using the FoC theres also a video tutorial inside how to use
Marduk, which are the most resource consuming options in defaultrenderconfig.xml so I can disable them while maintaining a great visual? Stuttering like hell here, while driving mainly. I don't wanna use the file in Performance Fix folder because it's rather degraded.
shadow, reflection, texture size are performance eater. I can check monday for an optimized performance fix what are your in game settings? if i remember right you use a custom gamerprofile.xml if so try to deactivate the write ptotect, Start game and try to Customizing in game settings what did you use acually?
<CustomQuality> <quality ResolutionX="1920" ResolutionY="1080" EnvironmentQuality="ultra" AntiPortalQuality="pc" PostFxQuality="high" TextureQuality="pc" TextureResolutionQuality="high" WaterQuality="ultra" ParaboloidReflectionQuality="high" DepthPassQuality="pc" VegetationQuality="ultra" TerrainQuality="ultra" GeometryQuality="ultra" LodDitheringQuality="pc" ShadowQuality="high" ShadingQuality="high" RoadQuality="pc" EditorQuality="pc" ParticlesQuality="ultra" DeferredFxQuality="pc" HDR="1" SuperSampling="0" HighPrecisionNormal="1" RenderSplashes="1" RenderRain="1" MotionBlurQuality="off" SSAOQuality="hbao+_high" DepthOfFieldQuality="off" AntiAliasingQuality="temporalsmaa" id="_runtime" /> I use textures on ultra, LOD high, shadow high, reflection high, hbao+ high, water ultra and shader high.
so, maybe texture at ultra could be a reason, it's optimized for high end and needs 3-4gb vram high needs 2-3 (optimized vanilla ultra) Graphics settings recommendations, i just change a few things from his defaultrenderconfig.xml but this match the Merged Mod too
In my version of the merge, I put a readme to improve performances without degradation of graphics. To summarize : - Disable as much programs and services as possible. They make the process System use CPU and Hard Drive You can use GameFire and/or Soluto to help you for that. - If you have a SSD, put your pagefile in it. 8192mb or more - Leave 8gb of free space to the disk where you installed the game - Use the Game Mode of GameFire - Run the game with the following parameters : -disablepagefilecheck -cpuCount=4 -exThreads=4 - Use BorderLess Mode rather than FullScreen Mode - Do not use Temporal SMAA (that is 2X Temporal SMAA, and lag), but only SMAA. You can use too TXAA 2X if MSAA is not possible. - If you still have stuttering, disable Motion Blur ! You can test with my gamerprofile.xml. I am playing with textures to Ultra, settings to high and TXAA X2 without lag (I only have 2gb of VRAM but I have a SSD). If it lags, try with SMAA instead of TXAA 2X
I don't think you'll keep decent performances with DSR (It's Watch Dogs ^^) But you can try TXAA 4X, or, if you don't like smoother picture, MFAA (from Nvidia Control Panel) combined to 4X MSAA (in the game).
Hello all KuroTenshi i have a problem with your mod I put and replace all files in my game folder but when i start the games, i have a error : Le jeu a cesser de fonctionner - The game has stop working I test with UBI offline mod and steam but is same. the game stop When i erase all your file, i can play normaly I buy my game since STEAM, not UBI
I think the problem comes from either Object Highlighting or shortcut parameters. In this case, don't use the parameters for the shortcut, use only patch.dat, patch.fat (in Data_win64), the SweetFX preset and, if you want, the gamerprofile.xml. What is your OS ? Sorry I use a Uplay version so I can't test. That's what "testing" means Thanks for the feedback as my next version will be the "Final". I managed to improve drastically visual and smoothness. P.S: I am French too.
Ah cool, tu parle français Ok je vais essayer de copier seulement les fichiers correspondant au dossier Data_win64 dans celui de mon jeux. Le mod va fonctionner si je ne copie pas les fichier de ton dossier bin dans mon dossier du jeux ? OS = WIN 8.1 64BIT I'm only one that i buy game and install them with STEAM ?
Ok tout s'explique. Tu dois utiliser RadeonPro pour faire fonctionner le SweetFX. Donc ne copie que Data_win64. Tu pourras essayer le reste plus tard. Lis le Readme.
Ok je vais le reinstaller car je l'ai supprimer car il clignotait et j'avais une notification de quoi AMD.....dll un truc de ce genre Donc faute de temps je l'ai supprimer. PS: J'ose te demander si tu a un tuto pour Radeon Pro car je le connais pas. Sinon pas grave Google est mon amis
Oui normal c'est fait pour des cartes AMD à la base. Prends ce sweetfx : http://www.reddit.com/r/sweetfx/comments/28exv0/boulotaur2024s_injector_with_151_shaders_x64/ Décompresse-le où tu veux. Ensuite fais pointer RadeonPro vers ce que tu as décompressé. Ensuite tu crées un preset pointant vers l'éxécutable de Watch Dogs, tu actives SweetFx et tu vas chercher le fichier Sweetfx_settings.txt. Enfin tu vérifies bien que Radeon Pro est sur 32/64 (sinon tu double clique dessus). Pour le raccourci du jeu, tu peux essayer de rajouter les paramètres suivants -disablepagefilecheck -cpuCount=4 -exThreads=4 Si ça ne marche pas, n'insiste pas (sauf peut-être sur le premier).
