Any way to fix the horrible performance?
So to anyone who bought Watch_Dogs on release date for PC would have been extremely disappointed to find that their top notch gaming rigs can't even sustain a smooth 30fps on low-mid settings. All fingers pointed to ubisoft and their rubbish port from console to PC causing these performance issues.
The game has been out for a solid 2-3 months (I've lost count) and ubisoft have to have noticed whats going on here. So has there been any sort of patch released to fix this issue?
Background info, bought the game on steam which forces me to play through uplay. Neither one of them have prompted me for a game update, leading me to assume that ubisoft have not released a patch of any kind (bastards).
If there has been a fix of any kind? How do I find/implement such fix?
Thanks in advance! :)

You have to run it on windowed mode. And lower the max buffered frames..first open task manager. Then End unnecessary Tasks. Go to details and end unnecessary processes. then end task - explorer.exe i.e. windows explorer. then click file > run new task. go to browse and open watchdogs.exe from the game directory. then end task - task manager...there will be less stuttering..
after exiting the game, press ctrl-alt-del, then click run task manager. then click file > run new task..there type explorer.exe..
