For those having flickering issues: Ubisoft goofed up on a PS const expression by not assigning it as static const, this means a driver workaround must be applied to prevent undefined behavior causing issues such as the skybox and shadow flicker. You can apply this fix by copying the below into notepad, save it however you wish first then change it to "<pic a name>.nip", and simply move it into the WD2 driver profile via Nvidia profile inspector <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?> <ArrayOfProfile> <Profile> <ProfileName>Watch Dogs 2</ProfileName> <Executeables> <string>watchdogs2_rt64.exe</string> <string>watchdogs2.exe</string> </Executeables> <Settings> <ProfileSetting> <SettingNameInfo /> <SettingID>16545312</SettingID> <SettingValue>1</SettingValue> <ValueType>Dword</ValueType> </ProfileSetting> </Settings> </Profile> </ArrayOfProfile> Overall, 10 out of 10 game for me. No doubt

My mom bought this and watch dogs 1 for me because I wasn't allowed to play GTA5 thanks for the memories I miss you mom (says 11 hours on steam but played the absolute shit out of this game when I was a wee lad)
