Issues Left
- Input lags because of shader caching can occure even if I have cached many of it!, it will be more cool the more you play.
- Menu mouse depth can be too high, press F10 to fix if this annoys you
- Refletions at HIGH/ULTRA are not 100 % fixed
- You may have some flipping shadow/not in depth or some texture @ screen depth because some RegEx fixes are false pos. or not individual enougth. This was the hardest thing in this game to "sync" this. I have never experianced this within 1 hr. of gameplay but IT CAN HAPPEN but should not be game breaking. I i find those things, ill update the fix after complete gameplay.
Version History
- V.1.00 - Inofficial initial release - 07.03.2021
- V.1.01 - Official release - 08.03.2021
----------- Fixed some initial Menu/Loading issues where mouse is too high in depth
- V.1.10 - 14.03.2021
----------- Fixed some crash due to some ShaderRegEx related to Auto Convergence
----------- AutoConvergence feature removed due to its performance impact using RegEx
----------- 1 Shadow i have found that was not fix is fixed now
----------- Enabled V-Sync in driver profile (with FPS limit 58) for fixing screen tearing, configured to ensure 100 % GPU usage as before without V-Sync in V 1.00
----------- Added a link here in the performance section i have missed to add, that you shoud follow!
Installation
- Make sure you install the Driver 452.06 with Driver hack prior a DDU cleaneup! Do not use a previews driver, OR dont complain about possible crashes. You can use this tool to let the driver installation and DDU clean up as well as the driver hack (on demad) beeing done for you nearly automatically: viewtopic.php?f=105&t=25361
- Download the Fix: http://helixmod.blogspot.com/2021/06/wa ... v-200.html
- Uninstall all prev. fixes completely by removing the ShaderFixes folder
- Extract the complete archive to the "bin" directory in your game diretory, e.g.: D:\Games\WatchDogsLegion\bin\
- right click the WatchDogsLegion.exe, choose properties, to to the compatibility tab, check "Run as administrator" and "Disable Fullscreen optimization"
- Start the game using the start.cmd, or as usual BUT: add "-BattlEyeLauncher" (without "") to your launchers options
Performance
- I found the game to be extremely "RAM hungry".
- I then found evidence of this on the Internet (https://www.dsogaming.com/pc-performanc ... -end-cpus/).
- Check the page and see what you can achieve by updating your system memory. RAM with 4266 MHZ is around 160 € this time. ITS WORTH IT !!!
- I have cached arround 60 % of the complete game shaders for you to reduce input lags! But it can happen in some areas i have not completely cached that you expeciane input lags ONCE until shaders are cached.
- Auto Convergence costs arround 10-20 % performance if enabled it, so if you need FPS and do not need this, skipp this!
- Framlais reported that there is not a huge difference between 1080TI and 2080 TI, im not sure about lower GPUs but for sorue you need a high performance GPU for this game, even in 2D!
- You should also follow this guide for optimization of WDL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8Vu0j5WJO4
Game Setup
- Enter the ingame options and choose the ULTRA graphic preset! <-- MENDATORY, if you do not do this, you experiance massive HALOS, no matter what you manually chosse!
- Restart the game, if the game suggests it, press OK, if not, restart manually!
- Returned to the game you can set your desired settings manually, DO NOT do this via the graphic presets!
- Do not choose Shadows lower than "VERY HIGH"
- Everything else is up to you, but i suggest this for not noticable disadvantages and higher FPS:
-- FXAA, other settings here can have light flare clipping
-- FOV: 70 (you can rise this but this highly afflicts performance!)
-- Geometry: "VERY HIGH"
-- Environment: "HIGH"
-- Texture Resolution: "MEDIUM"
-- Texture Filter: "HIGH"
-- Shadows: "VERY HIGH"
-- Spotlight Shadows: "2 cars"
-- Reflections: "ULTRA" -- NOTE: Minor issues her but lowering to HIGH or below will give you FAKE reflections that are much more "uncool"
-- DOF: OFF
-- Motion Blure: OFF
-- BLOOM: ON
-- AO: ON
-- VOl. Spread: "HIGH"
Keys
- Adjust HUD/UI Depth that is not auto controlled by "NUMPAD *" and "NUMPAD /"
- Adjust Minimap symbol depth by "NUMPAD -" if its slighty out of depth and ot bothers you
- Choose convergence by "." and ","
- Use "#~" (EN-keyboard) / "°^" (DE-keyboard) / "XB_GUIDE" for low convergence mode
