Let me know if that runs any better.

 

Thank you so much!
Game runs smooth as butter now with high textures
Thanks again!!

 

Nice! No problem mate.

 

Which textures have you removed?

 

All of the ones that were 512kb and above, except crucial ones such as road textures, vegetation etc.

 

Danvsw, I'm not sure but I think you had like 40K views before the spotlight, am I correct?

 

Something like that yeah

 

is this compatible with Bad Blood dlc?

 

Yes it is

 

cool thanks...this makes me play wd again :thumbup:

btw I was wondering how to increase the brightness a little bit in ReShade, I'm kinda new on this one, I only know SweetFX

 

You can either:
Simply go to the cfg file "Shaders_by_CeeJay.cfg" found in "ReShade/Presets/Default" and edit it with notepad. It's essentially the same as sweetfx.

Or, you can open the Reshade GUI (Reshade Assistant.exe), click on Watch_Dogs or Default, click on Shaders, then find and double right click Tonemap. There you can edit gamma/exposure. Then double click Save on the bottom right of the GUI. Make sure Tonemap is still checked in the shaders tab.

 

got it thanks

 

Holy sh.t man. I earlier only watched like the first half minute of your video on Youtube, but now decided to check it out again. I was amazed by your work, and when I saw the biker outfit I was shocked Your mod is truly beautiful and that video is a piece of art.

 

Thanks a lot man, appreciate the kind words. I love the biker outfit mod, as you can see. Thank you for that.

 

Hey Danvsw, is there any modifications besides the outfit in items.lib or graphickit_models.lib? I wanna merge this with my mod (primarily for personal use but maybe we can release it for people) and was just wondering if it will screw anything.

 

No I haven't touched those myself, they're only there for the outfit. I've already replaced them with your custom outfits v3 libs, personally.

 

I really like your mod, too bad that you made it after I finished WD.
I run it on Win 10 with Reshade and Sweet FX, maybe you should include settings for Sweet FX 2.0 and a tutorial how to set up Reshade, although it is very easy to do both at your own.
I noticed a bug: It rained with clear weather (no clouds) and did not stop.

 

No need for a tutorial, just need to extract the files to the main folder and my custom reshade/sweetfx should work. If anyone wants to tweak them, there are plenty of tutorials out there for that.

About rain, it's not a bug, it's intentional. I think the game looks best when the ground is wet. It's not very realistic (during clear weather), but it helps mask how low res and blurry the ground is in general.
This is why I've included a "dry version", for anyone who doesn't like that.

 

Okay, sorry, my mistake, I did not read carefully enough and did not download the current version. The rain dropping from the clear sky looks so weird, I didn't even had the thought that could be your intention. Do you have the permission of the Reshade creators to include the .fx files?
Usually they don't want other people to upload their shader files.

 

hi all,

when put MSAA or TXAA the bottom screen are Black. SKy is regular.

normal?
