Ubisoft released a patch update for the PC version of Watch Dogs a couple of weeks ago and avid gamers were expecting that the new update will resolve some of the issues of the game. However, it seemed that the new patch did not fix the bugs, but made it worse.
Gamers worldwide complained about various bugs found on the recently released Watch Dogs game. The game topped the Billboard chart last month. However, gamers tended to avoid playing Ubisoft's game for a while due to the glitches.
The game maker claimed that it added a number of performance improvements in the patch it released weeks ago in response to the complaints of the gamers on the various glitches found in the game.
