Watch Dogs Settings Better than Ultra

Some of you might get disappointed by the newest game from Ubisoft, Watch Dogs. The graphic of the game doesn't match the graphic that they promise at last year E3. There are a lot of thing missing from the game, although the game itself is a fun and unique game, still the graphic is not close to next generation graphic. 

Because of that there have been a lot of people trying to dig deeper into watch dog's engine system and try to edit it so the game will be rendered at the highest quality available. One of them is kadzait24, who posted Watch Dogs's settings that he said is the real ultra settings of Watch Dogs. He also posted some video to give the viewer a look of what lies inside the real ultra settings of Watch Dogs. Check it out

The modder claims that the mod will contains this :

• Better Physics
• Bloom
• Improved HDR
• Better Textures and mapping
• Better Rain and splashes quantity
• Improved Reflections in the water and for the cars
• Better Water, Vegetation and Geometry quality
• Improved LOD and FOV
• Better colors everywhere
• Better Shadows
• Better SSAO Quality
• Improved Lighting for the entire game

But first before you going anywhere and try to install, make sure that you have a really good computer, and what I say by really good, is somewhere near the level of GTX 770 SLI. The modder use GTX 770 SLI and there is still some choppy recording, although it could be caused by the recording software and not the hardware of the modder. Be aware that people have claimed that the mod will make your Watch Dogs crash or become unstable if you don't have a good PC. 

Download & Tutorial

Watch Dogs xml setting

So what you need to do after downloading this is just to find the GameProfile.xml files in your Watch Dogs directory. Back up the GameProfile.xml first and then copy the downloaded xml and paste and overwrite the previous one, don't change anything to the .xml file or you will find some error.

Update 17/6/2014

Because I only have the time to check the mod now, I see something that the mod actually doesn't promise the thing that the modder said, so it is not really relevant now, but as usual of PC modders when a mod leaves, a new mod come. So a modder called as TheWorse unpacked the engine of Watch Dogs and saw some setting that is left unactivated. The setting have some 'E3' tags on it, and then he went to activate the setting. And Boom, no other word to say it looks glorious

And not only that the modders promise less shuttering in the game, so not only it improve the graphic it improve the performance in game as well, some people said that they get 10 fps on average after installing the mod.

This is the official changelog by the modder

• Changes to the default fog values
• Enabled bokeh DOF for the main cameras
• Stuttering Improvements
• E3 2012 Bloom
