Watch Dogs Patch Xbox One PS4 & PC Detailed

Hi everyone. So we finally have some words with Ubisoft as to the patch plans for Watch Dogs at long last. It may take them a few weeks. So, they're kind of split down into two areas as it were, fixes which are going to be going across all of the various versions of Watch Dogs and those that are PC specific. So let's start with the stuff that's going across all the consoles and PC first. So major game fixes. Automatically reconstructed corrupt save files which prevents loading to go further than 90%, some collectibles many remain unrecoverable. Hopefully a large number of people now actually be able to play the game. Fix the issue preventing players from using hacks in the game. You'd kind of have thought that would be a major issue on a game which is all about hacking! Gameplay fixes... Fix several mission breaking bugs - they don't say which, fixed minor mission and item related issues. They don't say what. Fix the issues that cause the empty weapon wheel, not seen that one myself. Multiplayer fixes. Fixed several minor respawn issues, fixed some connection and session joining issues, pretty standard stuff for multi-player games, it has to be said. Now the PC specific stuff - fixed graphical glitches on low and medium settings. Good! Honestly, hopeless that was! Fix some crashes on SLI configurations. I know that's going to make a lot of gamers very happy at the high-end. Implemented several performance improvements. Could this possibly be the caching bug that we've all been dealing with? Implemented a few control improvements - they don't say what exactly. Fixed issue causing infinite messaging and time out when trying to access the online shop from extras menu while Uplay is set to offline mode. This is something that we first raised its head when the Ubisoft log-in registration system seems to have gone down. So hopefully that will stop that from happening in future. Fixed issues connecting to a multiplayer game, implemented several mouse modifications. Hopefully mouse acceleration working properly now. Fix the drinking game fix the chess game, fix the bug where the invasion setting was never saved. Fixed the graphical issue during cutscenes and cinematics. Fixed several graphical and texture bugs, removed the Vista OS check to prevent false positives and added game version number in the main menu. So there's nothing groundbreaking here, particularly. Just really what you kind of would have expected to be a bit of tidying up in their first patch. However, some of this stuff makes me feel that actually this game wasn't really tested properly before launch because they effectively launched it knowing they had missions that were broken, mission items that weren't working and obviously issues with the multi-player. Now, some of this stuff you kind of say, fine, fix it afterwards but mission breaking bugs in a game like this? Fair enough we expect that in MMOs. We don't really expect it in AAA titles that apparently have been through full authentication and been checked over by the likes of Microsoft and Sony to make sure there's no game breaking bugs. This used to be the way approval was done. It now seems to be a case that your game needs to be released on this date you're a big AAA title. We need to sell some consoles. Let's just shove it out the door, we'll hit the certification button on there without really checking it properly. Mission breaking bugs mean uncompletable game or skippable content unfortunately in my world that means a game that was not tested thoroughly before launch. Another black mark against Watch Dogs I'm afraid but at least they're patching this stuff. The PC patch is due to land even within the next couple of days. The console patch is going to have to go through certification and to be checked over to make sure it doesn't cause game-breaking bugs. Haha. So keep your eyes on the downloader. there will be an update coming very, very soon. PC first, consoles to follow.
