some gamers have complained about Watch dogs that this game keeps crashing even after having a high end pc.
Here are some possible solution. Remember, all of the given solutions have already been tried in different situations and they are a 'working' solution depends on your pc. Run the game after every fix applied. Read all of them carefully and apply one by one. Stop trying next if your game starts working without any lag or crash.
1- Reinstall the game but this time don't choose Program files(x64) directory but the simple 'Program files' location. Old trick that works.
2-Reinstall the game, repair net framework 4.5, for AMD user redownload catalist 14.4 or higher, reinstall direct x 11. Now you should get an improved FPS without any crash.
3-check my 'ubisoft game launcher' error fix post and apply it. Set afterburner's osd not to detect the game.
4-Try to run the program in compatibility mode of Vista sp1, 2 or Windows 7.
5-If you have installed Hamachi or other virtual VPN installed on your pc, just uninstall it.
6-If you have more than one lan adapter, please disable any extra ones.
7-If you have a high-end PC and want to avoid any graphics and performance issues before Ubisoft fixes the game, you should run game while AA turned Off, GPU Rendering Set to 1 and Vsync Turned Off.
Moreover, using Nvidia Control Panel, you should enable FXAA, set Anisotropic Filtering to 16X, enable AA Mode Override, set AA Settings to 32XCSAA, set AA Transparency to 8X, Set Max Pre-Rendered Frame to 1 (Optional), set Multi Display to 1, select Prefer Maximum Performance and turn off Texture Filtering.
Make sure you have Clamp and Threaded Optimization On. Test turning on/off Vsync to see what reduces stuttering and based on that, set it. AMD Graphics users can replicate similar settings in Catalyst Control Panel.
8-If for some reason Watch Dogs crashes to desktop after launch or after Ubisoft logo screen, you should disable Uplay Overlay in Uplay Settings. If you have Dxtory installed, turn it off.
9-f you experience audio issues after successfully launching the game, set your sound to ‘Stereo’.
You can set default Windows Sound to Stereo by going in Playback Devices by clicking on the Sound Icon. Click Configure on the Window that opens, and you should see the option to set the sound to Stereo.

a few more tricks

3. start uplay
4. when uplay is running, start the watch_dogs.exe directly from the watch_dogs folder.
