First PC Update Released for Watch Dogs 2

Watch Dogs 2 is off to a good start this week and makes a notable improvement over the rather disappointing (at least to me) first game in the series. Of course, that’s not taking into account the fact the game wants to monitor your system at a kernel level, which is totally not cool by the way.

The first patch for the PC release of the game is now available, and brings the game up to version 1.06.135.3, fixing multiple major issues that have been bothering gamers around the world. One of the biggest improvements is increased stability for AMD Crossfire equipped systems, as well as a range of general performance tweaks and improved online reliability.

The game will auto-update via Steam or UPLAY and you can check out the full changelog below:

Improved stability on AMD Crossfire systems – This patch fixes instability on Crossfire systems (AMD dual GPU systems).

• Fixed Donut NPCs Glitch – After downloading this patch, PC players will no longer see hilarious hordes of Donut people roaming the streets. Only a regular number of Donut people should now be seen on the streets.

This patch also has the same fixes as the latest console patch:

Online Performance 

• [Performance] Game Crashing – This patch will have various crash fixes for a smoother gameplay experience. 

• [Online & Multiplayer] Seamless Online – Players should now experience improved reliability of seamless online and matchmaking through the Multiplayer App. 

• [Multiplayer] Activity Frequency – This patch fixes the issue of the cooldown resetting after a player dies while being the target of a hack during Online Invasions. Players should now experience regular cooldown times and a normal frequency of getting hacked during their gameplay. 

• [Online Invasions] Target Detecting Hackers through walls using NetHack – Some players reported being able to detect Hackers through walls using NetHack during Online Invasions. This bug is fixed in this patch.
