Assassins Creed Unity Patch 3 ships today

by on26 November 2014



Consoles today, PC later this week

Ubisoft has been getting a lot of flak over Assassins Creed Unity performance issues and now the company has released a patch, less than two weeks after the game came out. The game is 12 days old and the company is getting ready to roll out the third patch.

The game works fine on high end graphics cards, but for example on a Core i7 4790 CPU and GTX 980 Far Cry will offer more than double the performance. Patch 3 starts rolling out today, 26th of November, and it should be on your PS4 and Xbox One console before Thanksgiving dinner, while PC gamers get the patch later this week.

Patch 3 includes over three hundred fixes designed to improve your Assassin’s Creed Unity experience. The downside of the patch is that it won't really address the framerate issues. The company plans to try to fix it in the later patch. That is not the news we have been expecting, but at the same time, some improvements might be noticed with the installation of Patch 3.

You can expect stability and performance improvements, including a fix for numerous random crashes in Campaign and Co-op modes, specific frame drops due to improved task scheduling as well as tweaked performance for Reach High Points (Synchronization). The patch addresses various gameplay fixes, including improvements in AI and Crowd algorithms as well as Matchmaking, Connectivity and Replication and Menus and HUD. Ubisoft has included mission tweaks in Campaign and co-op modes, along with tweaked content, world, progression and difficulty.

PC users get a few specific improvements, including fixed save game corruption in some cases, fixed temporal blur from SLI, fixed graphical corruptions in Character Customization menu fixed crash issues in the same menu. Alt+Enter switches windows correctly, NPC on side monitors show correctly and Minor UI improvements.

Ubisoft is working hard on Patch 4 and they will give us an update in the coming week. We are starting to think that there won't be a magical patch that can significantly improve the framerate and you will still need high end hardware in order to play at a decent framerate with high detail settings.
