- In the LiveSplit splits editor, make sure your game is set to
Watch Dogs: Legionand then click the "Activate" button. - After activating, enter the "Settings" menu to enable or disable autosplitting.
- See below for how it works
- Disable BattlEye for the game; this can be done by adding the
-BattlEyeLaunchercommand line option. This is needed because it blocks the game's memory from being read. - In LiveSplit, set "Game Time" as your main timing method
- Right-click the main window ➞ Compare Against ➞ Game Time. (Both real time and time without loads are stored in your splits regardless.)
Generally, progressing through the campaign missions should trigger the autosplitter on each mission change. However, due to the nature of the dual mission chapters, it may trigger pretty often in certain portions of the run.
A split is triggered whenever the selected mission ID changes, or is deselected. There are points in the run where you press "J" to quick swap missions, or open the mission menu to manually select a mission. You should expect a split to trigger there. Sometimes there are mission swaps that aren't routed in, so make sure you know your "Undo Split" hotkey to fix any unintended splits.
Autosplitting only works on verison 1.2.40 (barely).
When the "Split for recruitment missions" option is disabled, a transition to or from a recruitment mission will be ignored.
This means if "Split for recruitment missions" is enabled, you should have 3 splits in Reporting for Duty:
- Reporting for Duty (1)
- Recruit a construction worker
- Reporting for Duty (2)
If "Split for recruitment missions" is disabled, you should have 1 split in Reporting for Duty.
This option doesn't apply for the EPC Albion recruit, as it doesn't force switch you to a recruitment mission.
If the load remover is not working, you may be on an unsupported version of the game. To help with development, do the following:
- Right click the Windows icon ➞ Event Viewer ➞ Windows Logs ➞ Application ➞ Find the LiveSplit Errors
- The error should say
Unrecognized hash: <LONG HASH>.
- The error should say
- Report the error in the Discord or in a Github issue with:
- the hash
- game version (e.g. 1.2.40)
- launcher (UPlay, Epic Games, etc.)
- DirectX video setting (DX11, DX12, Ultra textures)
- Launch the game into DX11 mode
- Attach to
WatchDogsLegion.exe - Set "Memory Scan Options" to
DuniaDemo_clang_64_dx11.dll - Load into a file and scan for a 4 Byte value of
1 - Once the game loads, refine the search with a value of
0 - Refine the search by loading into the Blume Tower spiderbot mission after Operation Westminster
- Add the address to the ASL script
- Repeat for DX12.
This variable seems to increment at certain key points during and after missions. Double split protection is needed because it very often increments by 2 or 3.

- Launch the game into DX11 mode
- Attach to
WatchDogsLegion.exe - Search on the main menu for
0 - Start a new file and scan for
1when you gain control - At the start of the Blume spiderbot section, scan for
2 - After you fast travel to Embankment after Restart DedSec, scan for
4 - By now you should have it filtered down. If not, it will increment according to the table above
- Generate a pointermap
- Pointerscan the address, click the
Offset 1header, and add the two pointers with an offset of50 - One of the two pointers has a value (
0) quicker than the other when you boot the game up, use that one - Repeat for DX12.
- Launch the game into DX11 mode
- Attach to
WatchDogsLegion.exe - Load into a mid-game file and search for a 4 byte exact value of your current ETO
- Collect some ETO and refine your search on the new value. Don't search by decreasing your ETO; increase and decrease are different addresses
- Generate a pointermap and save it
- You should have about 4 memory addresses. Add the first one and pointerscan for it using the previously generated pointermap
- In the pointer paths list, click
Offset 1. The top result should have an offset of638. Save that pointer path to your list - Add the address to the ASL script
- Repeat for DX12.
| Active mission in route order | Mission Count |

| Recruit a construction worker | 6 |

This is a mission count variable. It does not persist through savegame exits, so loading into a save will set it to 1. To search for the variable, you must play through the intro up to Clarion Call multiple times.
- Launch the game into DX11 mode
- Attach to
WatchDogsLegion.exe - Start a new game, once you gain control, search for a 4 byte exact value of 1
- Then search for unchanged value on repeat until the before end of Operation Westminster
- In the Blume spiderbot portion search for an increased value of 1, then repeat on unchanged again until before you exit the safehouse
- Once the Light a Spark objectives appear, search for an increased value of 1, then repeat on unchanged again until before you do the Camden objective
- Once the Clarion Call objective appears, search for an increased value of 1, and select the second of the two remaining addresses
- Generate a pointermap and save it
- Pointerscan for the address and save it
- Restart the game and repeat the process, comparing the pointerscan results with the previous
- Sort the pointers by "Offset 1" and choose a pointer with only one offset and save it
- Repeat for DX12.
Finding the mission ID values from scratch is a pain, so hopefull the following ones stick around through updates:
| Selected mission | Mission ID |
|---|---|
| None | -1 |
| Operation Westminster | -387354043842124764 |
| Clarion Call | -2314395300743091072 |
| Initiate Sequence | -1860909611898991633 |
| Inside Albion | -1860909419468514552 |
| The Whistleblower | -1860909604697338304 |
| Crashing the Auction | -1860909603611013565 |
- Launch the game into DX11 mode
- Attach to
WatchDogsLegion.exe - Load into a dual mission chapter and scan for a 8 Byte with the appropriate mission ID value from the above table
- Select/deselect missions (right click) in the menu while searching for values until you get about 9 addresses
- Generate a pointermap
- Pointerscan each address until you get one that only returns one result; it's usually the last one
- Add the result to the address list (double click the base address)
- Repeat for DX12.
