    Hey guys, so when I go into the gamerprofile.xml in my notepad there's no render profile line that has "_runtime" in it...any suggestions?

    If it does not say runtime, it will most likely say low , medium or high.
    So it might say Quality="high".

    Sorry for double post!

    Hbao is not disabled. Hbao+ is enabled, and you can clearly see the difference into the game if it was disabled.

    I don't know too much about amd and this game but maybe hbao+ high is not supported in your card.

    I made a video showing off your newest version running on Ultra. It looks great. I am using this with Kop4Ever's SweetFX but with some adjustments made to it.

    youtube.com/watch?v=0ggOw_vZFAQ

    Watch the video in 1440p on FireFox for best quality.

    Personally I liked the very FIRST E3 Bloom you had the most. The DoF is better now but it should be a little more closer to Aiden. Everyone has a different opinion on DoF and Bloom.

    I will keep testing things out, cheers.

    Would you be willing to change the DoF back to how it was on 0.6v for normal camera? I found 0.6 to be much better looking, but the performance hit was horrible.

    Also, why do we need to set the _runtime to Ultra? What's the exact reason?

    Thank you so much. Hope to make a donation soon.

    The patch.fat has a preset called Ultra with the improvements. When you set the quality to Ultra in the gamerprofile.xml it makes the game access the improvements. Hope I'm not saying s***.

    I just wanted to share this, hope this helps who are suffering from game stuttering alot when driving fast.

    I had to reformat my win7 64 and after reinstalling watchdogs (all default settings) i realised i had alot of stutter when driving. I remembered i disabled my Pagefile before, so disabled it again on new windows install, restarted PC. And no more stutters. Main drive is SSD, game is on SSD, pagefile was on SSD.

    And i changed my Windows Power Plan to High performance and applied Core Parking tweak. And guess what? Stuttering was BACK again. I changed it to "Balanced Power Plan" and it was all good again. Tested over 2hours, Re-launched game couple of times to be sure. Rarely there is a single stutter (0.1secs) when there are some Police Radio going on, so no big deal. Driving fast is butter smooth now.

    @TheWorse, thx alot for hard work and latest version. Fantastic work again! Thanks.

    Edit: i need to add this, performance wise i am getting better performance than 0.6 now, on new version. Keep up the great work!

    I signed up to say congratz on everything you have done so far, and also WOAHHH if you can get that working too, that would be incredible :), simply incredible, best of luck, especially if you manage to add the creeking/groaning sounds before it explodes too! :thumbup:

    By the way...do you know anything about car alarms going off in big explosions? In the e3 2012 there is car alarms going off in the background which you can hear, and i saw it in one of the early access vids too, but it doesnt seem to happen anymore...would this be possible to re-enable or is it just random?
