TheWorse Watch Dogs Modification​

. Also i'm a fan of using sweetfx on every game I can use it. I like to make my own presets always.

After release and this stupid stuttering problems I started searching for fixes etc.

Then I saw many threads talking about the engine when I realized it was based on dunia 2 so I tried to unpack the files which obviously not worked.. so after searching so much for the unpacker I found it, started playing with it and after a long time of testing I ended up getting the E3 Bloom from 2012 working.

After studying how bin hex worked and downloading many tools to convert files etc, I was able to integrate and enable many effects. I told myself to keep trying and trying and that is what I have done. -I'm a very obsessed person, with many things mainly graphics. Also i'm a fan of using sweetfx on every game I can use it.

How do I install the mod?

Download your chosen mod version (0.6 or 0.7) from the links above.

Use a program such as Winzip, WinRAR, 7-Zip, Windows built in unzipper or your preferred program to extracted the downloaded zip file.

Once extracted, you will find 3 folders, they are called:

Closer Camera

Far Camera

Normal Camera​

The names of the folders above mean the distance the camera is away from the character (Aiden Pearce). So, the Closer Camera means the camera view is closer to Aidens

back/shoulder, Far camera means it is further away so you see more of Aidens body and Normal Camera is the normal default view.​

Choose the folder that matches the camera view you want.

Inside you will find 2 files - patch.dat and patch.fat (If there is another folder in here called patch_unpack, I think you can ignore it as the only 2 files you need are patch.dat and patch.fat.

Copy and Paste these two files into the folder called data_win64 that is in your Watch Dogs install directory. For example C:\ProgramFiles\Ubisoft\WATCH_DOGS or whereever you have the game installed on your computer. So to clarify, the 2 files need to go into the data_win64 folder. You will notice there are many .dat and .fat files already in there from when the game was installed.

(Optional step) TheWorse designed this mod with the Ultra setting in mind to recreate the visuals from what was seen at E3 2012.

TheWorse designed this mod with the Ultra setting in mind to recreate the visuals from what was seen at E3 2012. To recreate this quality of graphics, the Ultra setting is recommended.

Open GamerProfile.xml with a text editor such as Notepad or Notepad ++.

Find the line that begins <RenderProfile (it should be the 3rd line down from the top).

On this line you will find Quality="xxx"

Instead of "xxx" you will see either "low", "medium", "high", "ultra" or "_runtime"

Change this value to Ultra. For example, change Quality="_runtime" to Quality="ultra"

Save the file and exit.

Launch the game.

Do I need SweetFX?

How are people making these artisitc screenshots in Watch Dogs?
