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
