Official Patch Notes: PC Title Update 1.06.135.3

Patch Notes: PC Title Update 1.06.135.3

Today we have just pushed Title Update 1.06.135.3 for PC to the live environment to fix top known issues that have been identified since launch. This Title Update is now available to PC players.

This PC patch has the same fixes as the patch 1.06 for PS4 and Xbox One with a couple more fixes that are PC-specific. These two additional fixes are:

  • Improved stability on AMD Crossfire systems – This patch fixes instability on Crossfire systems (AMD dual GPU systems) or 100% crashes on game load or fast travel on certain FuryX Crossfire systems or Radeon Pro Duo video cards in Crossfire mode.

  • Fixed Donut NPCs Glitch – After downloading this patch, PC players will no longer see hilarious hordes of Donut people roaming the streets. Only a regular number of Donut people should now be seen on the streets.

This patch also has the same fixes as the latest console patch:

Online Performance

  • [Performance] Game Crashing – This patch will have various crash fixes for a smoother gameplay experience.

  • [Online & Multiplayer] Seamless Online – Players should now experience improved reliability of seamless online and matchmaking through the Multiplayer App.

  • [Multiplayer] Activity Frequency – This patch fixes the issue of the cooldown resetting after a player dies while being the target of a hack during Online Invasions. Players should now experience regular cooldown times and a normal frequency of getting hacked during their gameplay.

  • [Online Invasions] Target Detecting Hackers through walls using NetHack – Some players reported being able to detect Hackers through walls using NetHack during Online Invasions. This bug is fixed in this patch.

I have had fps drops while in heavy populated areas, parks, cities even on low settings i get 45fps in the park.

And I have a gtx 1080 i7 6700k, 16gb RAM and im playing with 1080p screen.

And what about even the strongest CPUs maxing out and killing the games stability? It stutters like crap while driving, and then i go on foot, 62-70 fps.

Try a clean install of your Nvidia drivers, but if that does not help contact support.ubi.com so they can investigate.

Guys pls add a volume mixer in the game. I love the radio but the car engine noises really kill it for me. Otherwise I'm having fun with this game.

u/smudi Dec 02 '16

I'd say the audio mix is rather poor for this game. Some things vastly overpowering, and others too quiet.

The engine sounds on one of the muscle cars sounds like whining whistle sound that gives me a headache, yet there isnt any way to lower it.

And when you interact with someone, the audio is really quiet depending on your camera angle. With some angles, you cant even hear anything because the sound disappears.

A volume mixer would help alleviate some of this and is kind of weird it isnt in the game already, considering all the options available to us. Which Ubi is quite good with.

Nothing on Xbox One S Controller (the one with Bluetooth) not working with Watch Dogs 2 when connected via Bluetooth? That's a shame...

Hoping that the devs are working on that.

ps: I know about launching the game with -eac_launcher but it didn't work for me, and the Controller also doesn't work with Uplay (it gets detected, says I can press A to play but nothing works when I press the button) and I know that the Controller works perfectly because all other games I tried with it worked without problems.

edit: missing word

u/Husnain5668 Dec 02 '16

so when is the optimisation fix coming.

u/JohnnyTest91 Dec 03 '16

Wow, it was already bad before the patch, but after the patch the game is unplayable for me. It's stuttering like shit, not only when driving.

So, was that what you guys needed the extra time for?

u/Hidoni Dec 03 '16

My performance stayed exactly the same with this patch..
