Watch Dogs PC Update

The dev team is completely dedicated to getting the most out of each
platform, so the notion that we would actively downgrade quality is contrary
to everything we’ve set out to achieve. We test and optimize our games for
each platform on which they’re released, striving for the best possible
quality. The PC version does indeed contain some old, unused render settings
that were deactivated for a variety of reasons, including possible impacts on
visual fidelity, stability, performance and overall gameplay quality. Modders
are usually creative and passionate players, and while we appreciate their
enthusiasm, the mod in question (which uses those old settings) subjectively
enhances the game’s visual fidelity in certain situations but also can have
various negative impacts. Those could range from performance issues, to
difficulty in reading the environment in order to appreciate the gameplay, to
potentially making the game less enjoyable or even unstable.
Thanks for playing Watch Dogs and stay safe on the mean streets of Chicago.

上面那一大串的大意:

開發小組嘔心瀝血的為了讓你們在各個平台上都能玩到最佳體驗，
任何懷疑我們把遊戲體驗品質降低的想法都是與事實相悖的。
我們在遊戲釋出的各個平台上進行過測試和最佳化，
PC 版本確實包含了部分舊的顯示設定在裡面，
基於一些理由所以沒有把這些顯示設定開放給你們使用。
模組師通常都是一些熱情創意的玩家，
雖然官方欣賞他們的狂熱，
不過這些(使用舊設定的)模組在特定情況下增進畫質表現的同時亦可能帶有副作用，
副作用包含影響效能表現，
乃至於環境細節不易分辨而損及遊戲體驗，
更甚者使得遊戲性打折扣或影響遊戲穩定性。
感謝你們玩 Watch Dogs，
在芝加哥充滿惡毒巫術的街上小心一點。
