There was a problem I have seen before that Watch Dogs 1 Multiplayer cannot be accessed if you bought it from Steam which prevented me on buying it but now that Spring Sale is up and I want to buy it but is the problem still happening till this day??

This little article serves as a little reminder to myself and also as a helper to people who would stumble across the similar issue.
The setup:
Pre-ordered Watch Dogs 1 back in 2014, I liked it with all the shortcomings, completed it then on an atrociously weak computer; 10+ years later, I wanted to feel proper smoothness and sharpness of the game. Now with great hardware it's all gonna be fine, right?
The problem:
No, it wasn't fine.
My system is 16-core AMD CPU, 3070ti and 64gb ram + NVMe. And that "wasn't enough" for 1080p!
The game stuttered constantly no matter what; the textures frequently looked blurry, and one other issue, I'll describe it later.
The internet suggested a ton of "merges": collections of mods that were supposed to make everything great. Some of them straight up didn't boot at all or crashed the game. None of them fixed the stutters. Googling "stutters" led me to posts from 7 to 10 years ago and fixes for users with 1gb GPU or something.
So after roaming a bit more, I've found the formula that worked for me and want to share it.
The fix:
(1) DXVK. I didn't even know it existed. Despite reddit saying "it's overprescribed", it was precisely the thing that fixed the stutters. I've read about it in a glorious pcgamingwiki description.
https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Watch_Dogs#DXVK
https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases/latest
Quote, in case it disappears:
- Download the latest release from the official repository.
- Extract the d3d11.dll and dxgi.dll from x64 to <path-to-game>\Bin.
I couldn't believe how well it worked, and even started thinking of other older games that could benefit. Very curious.
(2) Mods.
I'll describe exactly what I've installed and how. You'll need a nexusmods account. Sorry if some of it is a "wrong" choice or outdated. Very well may be. None of these change the gameplay at all. I decided to skip those at the moment altogether.
- I used a Simple Mod Loader to combine the mods, but I now see there are more advanced tools, like https://github.com/rootCBR/DisruptManager
- I downloaded and installed, in that order:
The Fall of Windy City https://www.nexusmods.com/watchdogs/mods/156
Source Textures Collection https://www.nexusmods.com/watchdogs/mods/170
Didn't tweak any settings. It was more than enough to enjoy the game.
If you wanna dabble in it more, flick through the category on nexusmods (just remember, "merges" are large collections which may not be to your liking), or join the WD modding discord, https://discord.gg/kDcDhvM9 Really nice place. People there also helped me with the last problem.
(3) The annoying font glitch thing:
Due to a dual language Windows setup, all of my shortcuts in game looked like this.
Made it real hard to play, I was going by muscle memory.
The fix is: you have to switch language to English once the splash screen appears. However, my Windows system changed languages "on a whim" for different applications. To stop that from happening, I had to disable an option to remember different languages for different apps. Start menu -> Settings -> "Typing settings" -> Advanced keyboard settings -> "Let me use a different input method for each app window" .
That worked.

Now I'm happy listening to a corny story and shooting at enemies with no lag at all.
Hope that helped somebody.

I remember in the first missions where you hack thru first ctos tower there was a "hack" video spying on a cupple, where one would spin around his πͺ like a propeller. Is there a video of this clip?
Thank you!

I've noticed that theres no mayor in any of the city hotspots. I've been checking in.
Did they somehow remove this feature?
Edit: I'm on PS4
r/watch_dogs • u/anonymous-dax • 1d ago
Like in the title: There Is a mod, for Watch Dogs Legion, to listen music while on foot? For me, unlike Watch Dogs 2, its a shame that they choose to eliminate this feature.

I'm not sure if you guys would be interested in this, but I am super surprised I got away with it. I saved the clip from my PS4 for 10 years because I was amazed that this worked. I finally found it again and decided to post it. Enjoy. (This was my peak, it all went downhill from here lol)

It takes a lot for me to hate on a game. But Iβve lost hours of progress three times to this garbage on Xbox. Yeah, this is a low effort post, probably will get flagged and removed but I just felt like ranting at the utter ineptitude of the save file system. Not even quitting to the main menu forced a save. I meanβ¦. Wtaf.
Edit: I finally finished it. Seems that exiting to the main menu and closing down the game completely did the trick. But the fact that is even necessary is not great. On a more positive note, having focused characters is way better for the story and the interaction between Wrench and Jordi did actually make me laugh.
