Graphics Improvemtn

[plane]

I beated watch dogs and during my playthrough, I noticed that the game didn't look as good as it did in the store page.

Is there any mods I can get to improve graphics, current graphics are really starting to mess with me...

There is theworsemod and watch dogs revival mods. There is a video on YouTube that lists their top 5 mods for the game.

Those mods are far from top 5, at least The Worse, being one of the first mods ever and outdated in terms of game version and features

Which mods would you recommend then? I’d love to hear about them so I can play this game with the best experience :)

1. Use DXVK (a translation layer that converts DirectX11 to Vulkan). It improves the stability and increases the performance up to 50%. You might have some graphic issues, depending of your GPU and driver (Nvidia, specially), but, you can change some parameters that can help with this. The latest DXVK release can be found here:

https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases/tag/v2.3.1

2. The mods that i'm currently using are: Playstation Buttons + TheWorse 1.03 + Living City (and i can share the merged file, patch.dat, through Google Drive);

3. To configure the DXVK, it's necessary to create a file, in the game folder, called dxvk.conf (text file). Inside of it, you have to write and save:

dxvk.enableAsync= True
# try to change this, if you have some graphical bug. Accepted Values: True / False

dxvk.enableGraphicsPipelineLibrary= False
# try to change this, if you have some graphical bug. Accepted Values: True / False / Auto (recommended, if you have bugs with False)

dxvk.gplAsyncCache= False
# try to change this, if you have some graphical bug. Accepted Values: True / False

d3d9.forceAspectRatio = "16:9"
d3d11.relaxedBarriers = True
d3d11.ignoreGraphicsBarriers = True

I already have vulkan installed for the game (a must-have mod). I have been using WD: Reborn and have not seen much of an improvment, if you could send the files over for theworse and living city mods that would be awesome.

The files can be found here:

And just paste them into the folder with all the patches right?

Exactly. Just paste in the game folder. And if you want, do a backup of your older patch files before putting the newer ones.
