Disconnect from Online Session

This batch file is a more simple alternative to using to my Watch Dogs Online Toggle utility if your only requirement is to DC from users who use exploits such as the "permahack" and "permajam."

Simply run the batch file as administrator from any location when you want to DC from an online session (right click .bat file and select "Run as administrator"). Online services for Watch_Dogs will be disabled for seven seconds, at which time online services will then be restored and the window will close. This gives the game enough time to register a DC.

Your Windows OS must be accepting rules from Windows Firewall. Unless you installed a third party firewall, this should not be an issue.

If you would rather copy pasta instead of download zip, here is Watch_Dogs_Disconnect_from_Online_Session.bat file contents:

REM Run this batch file as administrator whenever you want to disconnect from an online game in Watch_Dogs.

echo This script must be run as an administrator. Right click the .bat file and select "Run as administrator."

REM Set the wait time in seconds before restoring online services and exiting the program. '6' seems to work after a few tests. Default is set to '7' just in case.
