So to anyone who bought Watch_Dogs on release date for PC would have been extremely disappointed to find that their top notch gaming rigs can't even sustain a smooth 30fps on low-mid settings. All fingers pointed to ubisoft and their rubbish port from console to PC causing these performance issues.
The game has been out for a solid 2-3 months (I've lost count) and ubisoft have to have noticed whats going on here. So has there been any sort of patch released to fix this issue?
Background info, bought the game on steam which forces me to play through uplay. Neither one of them have prompted me for a game update, leading me to assume that ubisoft have not released a patch of any kind (bastards).
If there has been a fix of any kind? How do I find/implement such fix?
Thanks in advance! 🙂

I don't know what you've been doing, but there are patcheS (Yes, more than one) out for Watch-dogs more than a month ago.
Little Background for you:
Ubisoft did port the game from console but the next-gen consoles. The problem was that the next-gen consoles use unified memory. PC, on the other hand, uses memory individually that is; theres your RAM and then theres the Memory of your GPU. This was a major issue. The most criticism has been drawn to poor AI, game glitches, shadows and lightning. Ubisoft announced a couple days after game launch itself that the game will receive patches soon, and the patches have been available quite some time now.
Solution for lags:
Hope this helped! Happy Gamin'!
