Not always true! Child of Light and Transistor were late in the day on launch, and Sony hosed up MLB 14 the Show as just some recent examples. Some AAA games don't launch on PSN until the evening on launch day.

Just not on Uplay if you're a poor sucker who has an nvidia key/coupon thing going on.


Ah well, 35$ instead of 60 euros is worth that any day.

Which is awesome but this does NOT seem like a game you want to get stuck with. Perfect candidate for physical copies if a person doesn't like it, they can trade it or sell it on
Craigslist.

The PC version by default has crazy input lag with mouse and keyboard.
To fix this head over to My Documents\My Games\Watch_Dogs\<a bunch of numbers and letters that are your user id>\ and open GamerProfile in your text editor of choice. In the 9th line of the file, change Sensitivity="0.9" to Sensitivity="1.0" and Smoothness="1" to Smoothness="0" and it should fix it.

Did you test with the "review" version? Because that one apparently has a bitcoin miner trojan that eats up a ton of cpu power.

It's quite possible, although I don't see anything out of the ordinary. Unless the miner is actually inside the exe.

Truth be told my specs don't really match the requirements, but then again the game could hardly be described as Crysis graphically. I was intending on buying it, but now I'm not really sure.

I've run this with a GTX 760, 4 gigs of RAM, and an i3 at mostly medium settings. Make sure as many background programs as possible are closed (Having Chrome open was a huge framerate drop for me) and it still runs pretty smoothly. Its not unoptimized at all.

That's in one particular copy with a fake group name on it. There are plenty of clean copies available now, which is probably going to cost them sales for real from non-"reviewers" since the game has turned out to be kind of a bust for a lot of people who are being pretty vocal about it.

Should have just used steamworks and stopped trying to force everyone onto loving uplay :v:

It's not so much FPS that's the problem for me, it's literally that game freezes hard, loads, stutters, continues, freezes again and so on. It's unplayable. On those tiny instances it doesn't do this the FPS is generally fine.

I've deleted it. I'm just going to wait for the legit version tomorrow.

This sounds more like you got the Bitcoin miner. Look for a program called winlogin.exe in your process manager. There might be two of them, but one of them will be eating up 25% of your CPU and the other won't be taking up any. The first one is the problem.

Multiplatform code (including PC) to get the MP-412 Rex gun. This code can be used more than once I think.

Dunno is that gun is crap but hey, free stuff!

I can't select PC in the dropdown box there. Should I just select a console and I'll get a code that works on PC anyway?

Nah I checked that and there was only one winlogin.exe running and it's doing nothing. I'll do a scan of the PC.

Wow no more "PC" choice... I was sure it has a "PC" this morning :|

When I went with the "PS4", it gave me a redeem code for the PS+. So I don't think it will work for PC

To be fair there should be no winlogin.exe at all, the legit one is winlogon.exe
