Ubisoft has released a fix for encrypted Watch Dogs save data which previously prevented unlucky players from loading the game. The patch – available now on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 – reconstructs any corrupted save files afflicted by the bug, but may still leave you with "unrecoverable collectible items". If you’d almost got the Platinum Trophy, you have our permission to punch a nearby wall.
Other improvements include solutions to a number of mission breaking bugs, while the developer has overhauled some connection and session joining issues which previously plagued the open world escapade’s online component. We’ve included the full list of patch notes below for your reading pleasure. Remember that if you leave your PS4 in standby mode, you won’t even need to wait for this to download and install. Next-gen, huh?

Luckily I never ran into any of those problems that are going to be fixed!
I've still only played an hour of watch dogs so far so I've not had any of these issues.
Played on this great game for quite awhile on ps4 and not come across any probs
A friend of mine had the 90% glitch, he had to start again. Fingers crossed I haven't run into these issues.
I had this bug, sadly. Luckily, an older save game from the cloud still worked fine, so I didn't have to start from scratch. Still, the bug did cost me about 7h of gameplay, although it mostly was messing around in the city, collecting stuff and such. Good to know Ubi finally fixed it, shout it happen again.
I never experienced any problems like this. Platinumed it no troubles without any corrupted data
I had thought I was crazy or pushing square wrong, but no, the game really did disallow me from activating the main feature 😨
I came across the 90% loading bug several days ago. I was pretty upset because I thought I had lost 30 hours of progress. I decided to wait and hope for a patch rather than start over. I'm glad I did.
Also, I had to start up my PS4 before it would start downloading this patch. I don't know why, but it wouldn't download it while in standby mode.
I wish they had adjusted the difficulty of the drinking games Its way out of sync with the rest of the game. Giving up on a plat when only one trophy away hurts
@rykkchii stick at it! They are hard but once you pick up the basics they are much easier. When it inverts your controls pause it and invert the controls in the options! Simples!
@fit6958 Thanks for the encouragement mate, and the hats a great tip thanks
I had mission breaking bug the day of the patch, and the crazy thing is I had no issues before patch, and what really sux is its a story mission! So I hope there is another patch as I"m running out of side missions and collectables!! Argh.
Well, looks like another reason why I should just wait for the Wii U version of this. I swear, crap like this makes me wonder why developers bother to label their games "high quality" anymore. I'd rather it works flawlessly right off the bat.
