Proper fix for sky flickering on RTX 30/40 GPUs | NO VULCAN

By RegLoiD

Imagine being a 'AAAA' game developer and not fixing your game™

So, I heard you've bought a nice shiny 2k dollars RTX 4090 card and decided to play in WD2 but for some strange reason Ubisoft wants you to die from epilepsy? Don't you worry, this guide will help you stay alive and actually enjoy the game on your beast of a PC.

STEPS TO FIX THE ISSUE

1 - Download Nvidia Inspector from Github[github.com]
2 - Download Reference.xml for Nvidia Profile Inspector from here[mega.nz]
3 - Unzip the archive with Inspector to an empty folder, move Reference.xml to that folder.
4 - Run nvidiaProfileInspector.exe as an administrator
5 - Select 'Watch Dogs 2' in the 'Profiles' dropdown menu

6 - Press on 'magnifying glass' button
7 - Now you need to find these 2 strings and change its settings.

"PS_SHADER_CONST_EXPRESSIONS - PS_SHADER_CONST_EXPRESSIONS_ON"
"PS_CONST_FOLDING - PS_CONST_FOLDING_OFF"

It should look like this:

8 - If it doesn't show up like on my screenshots, scroll down to the 'Unknown' section, find 0x00FC7620 change it to 0x00000001 after that find 0x00A4F311 and change it to 0xA2B53761
9 - Press 'Apply changes' in the right upper corner. Now you can close the program.
10 - Run the game and enjoy :)

A: It shouldn't

Q: Do I need to disable anti-cheat?

Q: Some textures are still flickering, is there a fix?

A: No, at least as of right now

Q: Is Ubisoft ever gonna fix this issue?

A: Ubisoft and fixing something? Hell no
