**********************************************************************************************************
INSTALLATION:
- Place patch.fat & patch.dat in your data_win64 folder.

Default Directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\games\Watch_Dogs\data_win64\

This will differ with the Steam version, as well as any alternative drive setups you have, though it should still be in the general path.

**********************************************************************************************************
PLEASE NOTE:
Although the mod is now made to allow you to change visual settings in-game, it is still not recommended for it may still break the mod.
If you'd rather not risk it, change the visual setting values within the GamerProfile.xml file, found in your documents. Near the top, but not at the top, there will be a long line with all the visual settings and it's values listed.

Also, remember Ubisoft is also planning on adding an Auto-Update feature to UPlay, so keep an eye out for that so you can disable it, or at least for Watch Dogs. Starting UPlay in Offline Mode by default isn't a bad idea either.

**********************************************************************************************************
NOTICE FOR FUTURE GAMES:
Gamers, please be on your guard with Ubisoft. They already confirmed downgrading 'Tom Clancy's The Division,' like they did with Watch_Dogs and Far Cry 3.
Source: http://whatifgaming.com/the-division-developer-insider-we-already-downgraded-a-few-things/
It should be no surprise that they will do the same thing with all their games, including Far Cry 4.
It is commonly believed that Ubisoft does this to make consoles look not as bad, as well as boost pre-order sales. But together, we can fight their false advertisement and contract corruption. The evidence is within the mod. The mod doesn't just make the game look better, it makes the game run better.

**********************************************************************************************************
DISCLAIMER:
I don't own his mod nor it's rights or code. I was never a part of creating the mod or any of it's code. This thread is soely for awareness of the mod.

And yes, I am a Pokemon fan... who somehow manages to see Aiden as a Ambipom

Well, TheWorse is at least doing a whole lot more than Ubisoft appear to be doing. Fog and such are the teething problems expected from one person trying to fix a mess made by a huge team of developers. I'm not going to be able to try the patch until at the very end of next week at the earliest. Maybe the fog will have lifted by then! :P

Kinda sad that a modder managed to fix what Ubisoft couldn't/wouldn't.

Passion over profit :p

btw thats what i meant by headlight issues
it looks HORRID when it shines on me

it was even worse a few seconds before the picture

After taking off the mod it looks fine for me

after trying 97b and c I went back to 8. Bloom looks like crap in this game and even with 97c it was still way too much, I haven't seen a screenshot that looks anything like these without some whacked out sweetfx that only looks good for still photos

not impressed with anything i have tried so far, only near water graphics are relatively good. have postponed playing the game until there is a better solution. the worse mod doesn't make much difference compared to vanilla game (i can set all setting on ultra with smooth gameplay). unless i'm doing something wrong, which i doubt.

Lol. If you don't see much of a difference, then you're definitely doing something wrong.

Not sure why you call that an issue. That's what a bright headlight shining on your back at night would look like. If it looked 'good' it wouldn't be realistic.

I don't think ONE image can show it however
when a headlight shines on me it leaves lots of black lines and dots
however after removing the patch all of the lnes and black dots are gone
