Observation of Watch Dogs on PC reveals severe playability issues.
I'm really frustrated with the problems I'm facing with Watch Dogs. Even after installing the Catalyst 14.6 Driver, which was meant to resolve the issues, things still don't work. - The game keeps closing when I run it (pressing shift) and then clicking the mouse in either direction. - Each time it minimizes and I open it again, performance plummets to a terrible level. The only solution is to quit and restart the mission. - My PC isn’t slow, but I can only maintain a decent frame rate with medium settings. - There’s no support for Eyefinity. Feeling a bit disheartened, am I doing something wrong? Help needed!
That’s the only option I have for playing it, right? Not good enough. I’m able to run it on one GPU, but that’s just not what we’re talking about for AMD users.
I also faced problems with full-screen mode, though it only appears occasionally during a session. I've been able to overlook it so far. It runs smoothly on my 780ti; I'm planning to test it on my other devices and see how it performs on my 650m.
I attempted to turn off CrossFire but got the same problem. No progress at all. I'll try using a windowed mode. It looks like this is now the only choice. This is the second game that runs poorly on AMD (the first was Saint Row III). It seems my next build will be based on nVidia.
Windowed Mode functions properly even with High settings... It seems this is my sole option at the moment, until a solid update comes out.
I haven’t checked the whole discussion, but borderless mode helped me, and 1 frame buffered seems fine. My GTX 780 shows some stutter initially, but adjusting those settings makes it much smoother now.
It's true, the HD 5450 doesn't handle things quickly... but the game is really bad!
We were ready ahead of schedule knowing it would be optimized for NVIDIA. Of course, I play it in a windowed mode—it's not perfect—but I got through it. I actually enjoy the game, and I’ll uninstall it once GTA 5 arrives for PC! In the meantime, I really like this stylish GTA experience.
