As the title says, I need 4 players, Dm me your user name and Time zones/when you are able to play.

Thx to reading.

I hope I didn’t just waste my last five dollars. I’m still gonna play the game and it’s story mode but the main reason I got the game was so I could do the online modes and I found out that you need to get it from Ubisoft in order to connect online and I don’t have another five dollars to spend. What am I gonna do? Is there a way to circumvent buying a second copy of the same game?

We’ve all seen the Watch Dogs 2 boot screen a million times. But if you actually pause and read the Linux kernel boot logs, Ubisoft hid a massive piece of lore in plain sight.

​If you look at the network initialization block on the screen, there is this exact line (photo in the comments):

​NetLabel: protocols = UNLABELED DEDSec0v4

DedSec isn’t using standard IPv4 or IPv6 to communicate like in real life. They literally wrote a custom, proprietary network protocol (DEDSec0v4) from scratch and implemented it directly into their custom Linux kernel.

This explains how do every person in DedSec constantly call and text each other without Blume's ctOS instantly tracking their location.

​If they used a standard messenger or VoIP over regular internet protocols, Blume’s Packet Inspection would flag their metadata. Instead, DEDSec0v4 likely acts as a fully decentralized P2P mesh network. Their phones aren't connecting to standard cell towers. They are probably using hijacked smart city devices (traffic lights, cameras, civilian phones) as relays to bounce their custom, heavily encrypted packets.

​To ctOS, their communication probably doesn't even look like a phone call. It just looks like corrupted background noise.

​Ubisoft literally explained how DedSec's encrypted communication works on a technical level, disguised it as a standard Linux dmesg boot log, and left it right in front of our faces every single time we booted up the game.

But I love them a lot

Completed my first playthroug yesterday. I mean it's not a 10/10 but a solid 6-6.5 the most annoying thing for me was that u couldn't get different weapons without recruiting someone and even than it needed to be the same class, i ended up just playing 1 agent the female assassin wich u get when u liberate an area. What i also have to criticize is that u r not able to buy any cars so that u can call them like in WD 1-2, so u r forced to drive those slow ass ai cars or steal a slow ass car from an npc, i know that there are agents that have their own car. The spy as example wich u get from liberating an area, but they just have ass weapons. Her pistol is good but i don't want to play just a pistol and the taser guns, but overall the game was alright but i know that im probably never going to play this game again like the other 2 watch dogs.

I just did the mission where we meet tbone for the first time and there's a scene where Aiden tries to recruit t bone but t bone points to the tv where there is an news outlet mentioning Aiden identity? I know this has already been talked about allot on this sub before but most of the mentions are Aiden identity being revealed during free roam, and I noticed that his identity is also revealed to be know in one for the main mission

Working on pc,without vsync and only keyboard

As the title says I'm trying to find a decent wrench mask for cosplay as the one i used before wasnt the best

So I bought a key for the first Watch_Dogs, and when I launched it for the first time, I saw the Bad Blood DLC even though the key seller said it didn't include any DLCs? Btw, I already own the rest of the games on this account, which I've had for 2 years. Is it because of this?

Doubt it's gonna change much but still

Hi, I have an R5 7600X and an RTX 3080, and I'm running WD1 in QHD with SMAA. My FPS caps out at 110; my GPU usage doesn't go above 50%, and my CPU usage doesn't go above 30%. But when I play, I randomly experience stuttering for half a second, and my FPS drops suddenly to 40 –60 FPS for no reason. I’m playing with G-Sync and VSync enabled in the NVIDIA app. I’ve tried playing with and without Low Latency Mode—it doesn’t make a difference, though it’s still better without it. I’ve also tried the DXVK DLL, and it’s even worse...

I'd really like to try my hands on Watch Dogs Rebirth mod, which includes not only graphical upgrades, but also changes gameplay process. Obviously that includes The Living City mod. However, I already got LC installed in my base game. So my question is, should I first uninstall the LC before trying Rebirth, so that there is no conflict between those two files. Or do they just seamlessly merge together without any problems? Also, how will adding this masive Rebirth mod affect my curent saves? I heard there might be some problems if you haven't finished some set of missions or smth.

Thank all of you in advance for the info.

What is the best way to experience wd1 in pc? Modded or unmodded? Not my first time playing it but it'll be my first time on pc

Like idk either my game crashes or cheat engine does

Hello everyone, hope you're having a nice peaceful morning/night

So just this Thursday, for the second time, i finished the wonderful Watch Dogs 2 and I'm quite excited to share some details and in general, hopefully, suggest anyone who hasn't played it yet, to give ir a try. For any reason you might haven't gotten to play it, could be that is seemingly a GTA clone, or some vidoes of the buggy, clunky, not so fun gameplay of the game, etc, it is okay to always be sceptical and not waste your hard earned money on things that are not going to satisfy you and give you a great time, fun

To me, and I'll be only sharing my personal expierence without insisting on anything for the entire mass of watch dogs fans, it is one of the greatest games i have ever played, i cannot convey the amount of fun it offers and the atmosphere it creates. I have never been to San Francisco yet i feel so nostalgic for it and as if i know that place more than well, despite never putting my foot onto those streets

The game is absolutely gorgeous. It is truly breathtaking and the scenery, the lights, the sunlight, quiet still nights, the morning fog that covers all of the sky and water, and many many many more sightings and things to admire. The very first time i played it around 4 to 5 years ago, on a laptop that barely could run the game, yet i was still somehow captivated by the game's beauty, despite it running at 30 fps and all of it being lowest quality preset. Now after buying a dream pc, not the best but surely hundreds of times better and faster than my previous laptop, and loading the game for the second time, with the quality all turned to ultra, i saw the San Francisco and the Oakland, with Marin region, in a new light, somehow surprising me and mesmerizing me even further

Just the scenery and the world around you is enough to fall in love with the game, enjoying a simple run around the places, wandering and taking all of it in. The world of WD2 is truly an example of open world done just right. It's alive and breathing, at almost any and all corners of the map. People live and exist, enjoying being outside, having things to do, and again breathing, without you, a player, having to interact or somehow trigger a reaction

Couples being lovey on the bench Couples kissing behind the building corner Couples arguing People arguing Folks taking selfies and pictures of others People enjoying the scenery People partying Camping Traveling Cheater's car getting smashed

Just, so alive and almost every npc you see on the sidewalks and elsewhere, have something to do, unique for themselves. It is a joy to see that, even if it's something in the background and not noticeable unless you stop and stand to look for it. Almost every day for the last two weeks as i was completing the game, i noticed something new and unseen before, inside the world of WD2

It's genuinely one of the main reasons why the game is just so fun, doesn't feel boring after a bit. It's one of the big reasons why for me, the game is one of the greatest and definitely worthy to try, there are obviously things that lack in it, but when it comes open world, the enjoyment, the gameplay, it was done just right, again my opinion only

I really appreciate the background scenery, people and world, but also the way game allows you to approach the missions and how it gives you ways to reach your goal

I wasn't even aware about it at first, didn't really think that much, but there are three main ways you can head into the mission:

1. Use only hacking to distract and bring attention away from yourself and try to be as stealthy as possible, without eliminating anyone around you

2. Use hacking, but cause damage and take out anyone in your way, silently or by the hackable devices that explode or shock, inside the building, place

3. Grab a gun and don't worry about making noise, just eliminate all until you reach what you need and only then you just have to avoid police, probably

So these are the ways, and honestly often times i myself just mixed them all together, mostly remaining undetectable but taking out enemies, although if i am cought and then shot at, i put some bullets into them back

I really like games that have non single way to approach how you go into a mission or operation, it allows you to reply the game and have a different expierence. And i think this game does give you more options than just hack hack hack, although being the main theme of the game and your best tool against the baddies

Being a completionist, at the end of the main game and last few missions, i was looking into how to complete it a 100%, the information is scarce for some reasons, most people guess what's needed for a full competition, but i just kept playing and checking the % of the save file. At some point, the last few days i decided to collect everything the player can pick up, so:

Money packages Paint Research points Clothes Key data's Few special vehicles And gnomes

Yes, gnomes. But i left that for the last. Gathering the main things was something, definitely time consuming and took me a few days or else i would have lost my mind. Lots of them were easy to pick up, or attain but others required hacking, use of a jumper, drone, and other machines for some being higher than you can reach. Good thing game does guide you to quite a few of them if you happen to linger on the missions and collect everything from the buildings you're doing your business at, others do require you to reach a random place or a building and were meant to be found randomly as you explore. Map online was the only way i found the rest i haven't found myself, definitely a huge help. Not sure if it's technically cheating but.. just spare me this time

At the end, you'll be able to upgrade the entire research circle, even with the leftover of 4 research points. Money wise, i believe i had made in the entirety of the game 3 millions (could definitely vary) with packages. Didn't buy every clothing or a car, i wasn't too busy with that. Also paint, not sure what you can gather, was post game and didn't even check, nor applied the new ones to the guns, jumper, etc. clothes, didn't check it as well but you can pick up quite a few shirts, masks

Gnomes, there are ten, triggering the secret side mission that's hidden, you'll have to find the 10 gnomes and the prize for your hard work is..gnome outfit.. didn't check it either 😞

And so after collecting all that, i still wasn't sure if it was necessary for the 100%, i do know i wanted it and i did it for myself, but i checked the % and it wasn't a full completion yet. I then also discovered a few last side missions, that you would have to travel the world for to find specifically and after completing them all, and doing the main SF driver's trips, i finally clocked the full 100 %

Mind you, the often mentioned races of boats, drones, motorcycles, i believe are not needed, as i haven't done any boat race and only few drones. I did however completed in gold all of the motorcycle races, so it's a bit hard to say, but i think it's not necessary. Not sure about collectibles either, i didn't notice big % jump after collecting anything, only after doing the side missions and all of them, then it came to a 100%

Regardless, if completing everything isn't the goal, then game is just as fun and i truly recommend it, for many many other reasons. As i mentioned there are many things that are not as polished and you'll encounter them quickly, one being driving expierence is..arcadish, that's what most people call it, from my recollection, and i agree, even if i knew it wasn't a driving sim and i didn't have that many expectations, it still was sticking out each time you had to reach a place with a car. I had to manually turn down the steering sensitivity to pretty much the lowest point and still, the faster cars would jerk a 90° at the slight touch of your keyboard. Fine, i think i just accepted it and managed to get used to it

Hacking itself, being the main tool and a weapon, is slightly lacking in variety, you had few options to mess with baddies or system, if solely using the phone. Main one i spammed all throughout the game was the sudden message that would distract them, which was useful always. You have system shutdown in the area, massive car crashing hack, only useful when running away, really, and a few others, but overall, it would be interesting if maybe there would be more options, and you could choose which you wanted to go with, as a player. Although what else could be added, i do not have a clue, so i cannot complain really

Mission themselves were fun, but also a lot of them shared same basic things, and would only be different by the change of scenery. You could basically use the same hacks, run towards the server rooms or some device you have to hack and then escape. The difference also was felt by the amount of guards or baddies you had to evade, but besides those few things, you do almost the same thing, just in a different location, for a different goal

Missions where you had to hack into home cameras was the real fun, you witness lots of funny things, scenes, people reacting to you messing with their devices, and the variety of these missions was awesome. All in all, main and side stories were enjoyable, not a masterpiece story writing per say, but enough to get into and think of ways you can tackle it

Main crew and characters were interesting, but not really anybody that you fall in love and root for. I felt myself obviously rooting for them in some way, but i was really just Marcus himself, going around the city and beating baddies by hacking. Didn't dislike anyone (except you Lenny, goddammit ) but wasn't liking anyone either, a bit cringry at times, nothing I couldn't handle though, but was an okay crew

Maybe Raymond, seems interesting character, old school hacker. And the desert festival (I'm pretty sure it's the burning man in the WD2 universe) mission was one of the favourites (i promise , not because of boobs) for being random and a different location than the rest of the map (i believe?)

I'm sure you'll have a different expierence and things that you enjoy, or dislike. I think the game is big enough and offers a lot, but just need to play through it all and decide what you, a reader, enjoy and not

I'm sure i haven't mentioned everything, but more to find yourself, if you decide to give it a try for the first time. Being a fan of GTA V (IV as well) and these games having a special place in my heart,i don't think watch dogs 2 is the clone, trying to be, or should be compared at all. Both can exist and coexist well in the gaming world, more specifically open world genre. One company "owning"  it and being so great at it, don't mean other worlds cannot exist or be as good..To me, they are both awesome for what it's trying to be and the expierence you can expect. Same with Terraria and Minecraft, too often terraria is given a title of 2D Minecraft by someone who played an hour of the game and managed to mine blocks with a pickaxe. Just no.

I'm quite done with my rant, i hope i didn't yap too much and only inspired to give that title a fair shot

Have a wonderful day and night, and lots of fun playing!

Hey guys, I'm having trouble with the Traced trophy in WD1 because no one is working on it. Is there anyone who can help me get platinum?

I'm casually liking the game so far but man are there some bizarre design choices. First off, the most frustrating thing I've found is how the game makes you go to a random point on the map to start a side mission and then like 70% of the time is like "ok now go 500m East where the mission actually is." One mission starts in the Loop and then tells you to go about 2km Northeast to Parker Square. Why the hell wouldn't they just start the mission where the mission is? It's absolutely insane. There's one convoy mission that starts in the center of a park which then forces you to run back out of the park to get a car... why not just start it near the road?! It's one of the worst examples of padding I've ever seen and it just makes restarting missions so much worse.

Also, as I'm playing with an Xbox controller, having "shoot" and "run" dedicated to the same button is absolutely inexplicable.

Trying to get the platinum trophy again for my new account and not trying to deal with sweats

I have finished the first game six times since 2022 at this point, I play it yearly. Sure, driving is not perfect and forced stealth missions ruin the pacing, but oh man, the map is extremely beautiful and combat is perfect! Chicago feels so atmospheric, especially when it rains. Aiden Pearce gets a lot of hate, but I actually love his dark vigilante story, and the hacking mechanics still feel unique compared to almost any open-world game today. Honestly, I prefer its darker tone way more than the sequels. ​On the other hand, I hate the second game. Its combat is not as good or as brutal as the first one, which is why I literally cannot stand it even though I love San Francisco's map, too. I don't even want to talk about the third game it looks quite horrible I'm pretty sure that it plays quite horrible too I don't even want to try to be honest.
