Marduk has made an useful performance fix. Please note: since the game has been patched this method may not work anymore but you can still give it a try. If you are using Steam, just right-click Watch_Dogs, Properties, Set Launch Options and type -disablepagefilecheck. Make a shortcut to the game and add '-disablepagefilecheck' without the quotation marks after the target and the stuttering should be extremely minimal (essentially just when driving very fast and loading new environments).Įxample (under target): 'X:\Games\WD\watch_dogs.exe' -disablepagefilecheck With this wave of unoptimized products coming recently, I shall share all the tweaks I've found so far to you and hopefully help someone.
