For some reason mine kept freezing on me as well, my personal fix for it was I always had to direct it to run as admin, if not random freezing even on the lowest possible settings with everything pretty much shut off lol

Running it as admin all the time and adjusting the maximum per rendered frames fixed me up nice


Not an expert so no promises lol just figured I toss out some things that helped me, maximum per rendered frames help cause my video cards under par for pretty much everything lol

NP, max per rendered frames is under display if you haven't seen it yet, confused me that it was there and not in graphic settings lol


For me personally I kept trying it different ways lol lowest setting no pre rendered frames everything off, would freeze during the intro every time lol finally got past it and it kept freezing still

Starting pulling my hair out thinking what could cause it, after I set it to always run as an admin I can now set it to custom with high and ultra settings and it plays fine, blew my mind lol

Games min and recommended requirements blew my mind 2 on the ram side lol, its up there with theifs oddly specific recommended CPU requirements

You know the only issues have been with Radeon cards, right?

It's because Ubisoft decided to get the retarded Nvidia gameworks package, which includes optimization for Nvidia cards. And so, the developers thought the game didn't need any more optimization for stuff like Radeon cards.

That's not true just look on the GeForce site or evga site their all about Nvidia, lots of issues posted on those sites. How can they publish a game without optimizing it first,Who knows but remember this is the same thing ubisoft did with AC4, Give us another unfinished game. Honestly I don't think I've played a Ubisoft game the last 7 years that didn't have serious issues the first month or 2 on PC.

As for poor performance in Watchdogs, time is most likely the answer for most of us, Ubisoft will roll out patches, Nvidia will improve drivers. It's just too bad we gamers have to put up with this all too often. What resolutions are you guys using ?

Yea after this thread I searched an saw amd atleast has the worst side of it, geforce a bit better but there are still issues as I said the game will crash only on cutscenes if I don't run it as admin, besides that tho most issues I've run into with the game have been the game itself, like ppl or objects like a train I'm hacking a foot in front of me disappearing lol and not like a render issue cause they don't reappear lol it'll just be gone, same thing with cars but only sometimes, I'll pull up to something in a car, do whatever, then she I turn sometimes the cars there, sometimes its a different color, sometimes its nowhere lol


All and all I'm glad I didn't do pre order and all that stuff cause the game isn't like super crazy new stuff, I think the ign post got it the best, its grand theft auto with hacking

They made many many dumb choices like the shortest thing in the entire game is the campaign, the bulk of the game is side missions, activities, mini games, collectables

Also the fact that they tried to tie the main storyline into collectables, so if you wanna know the entire story without any missing details you gotta collect all the crap to get audio logs, then there are randomly placed audio logs during missions that give you no heads up, you'll just see 1 at some point and be like oh are these around and I'm supposed to be finding them lol

I opted to do all the collectables first and as many side missions as I could take and in all honesty I don't even wanna play the game anymore, all the dumb stuff I had to do sucked the life outta me and the story so ive been finding it really hard to want to play, currently I've been turning it on and playing a single campaign mission each day lol


And I do agree with you abvolt that the past few years UbiSoft has been doing not so good with there games, the only reason I usually let the assassins games pass it cause they tend to do some really really good work on them with nicely made characters and actual historical events, but with black flag they crapped on it all especially with the bugs it had and I was on the forums with at least 1,200 ppl who had the bug and ubisoft literally straight up told us we were lying, then a week later apologized cause they were finally able to recreate the bug

The AI is so bad...

Cops don't even get out of their cars.

They don't drive when the drawbridge opens, even if they are right on the split. They just fall into the water.

You're absolutely right; at times, it's like I'm playing Minecraft given the pixelation in the game
