Assassin's Creed Unity hasn't had a good launch, the game is currently a mess on the PS4 and PC while the Xbox One version suffers from less severe issues. So what is next on Ubisoft's list of things to fix? Well the dev team seems to be fixing everything except for the horrible frame rate.
To be fair, there are separate teams working to fix each problem so it is likely that the frame rate issues are just so bad that they are taking a lot longer to fix. For those of you that do own Assassin's Creed Unity, following on from Patch 3 you should see AI and Crowds fixed, removing animation problems and NPC navigation issues.
Matchmaking and uPlay connectivity should also be fixed, improving co-op play and allowing users to join in-progress games. The Menus and HUD are due to be updated to address missing details, pop-up overlapping and localization inconsistencies.
Finally, Ubisoft is hoping to provide more stability to the game and put a stop to random crashes while in both the campaign and in co-op mode. In a future fourth patch we should see frame rate stability improved, removing massive dips:
“We are also investigating various performance issues including framerate drops, and are looking into how we can address them. We’ll tell you more about our progress on that topic in the coming days.”
The PC and Playstation 4 versions of Unity have received two patches so far, fixing massive problems like Arno falling through the ground, clipping through walls and props, various NPC glitches among other things. The Xbox One version is also due to get some patches.
Patch 3 will be out this week, users will have to wait a bit longer for a frame rate fix, which will hopefully be included in patch four.

KitGuru Says: While a few gamers haven't come across any issues with Unity, the vast majority have been reporting a variety of bugs along with frame rate issues. Right now for me, it is the poor optimization keeping me from playing the game, there's an SLI profile but I frequently dip below 30 frames per second with two GTX 780s at 1080p, which just shouldn't happen. How have you guys been finding AC: Unity so far? Have you come across any major issues? What's your frame rate like?
(PC) Alongside the dips I get some wierd… gameboost? It’s like it loads too fast. For example, I can walk steadily forward and then POOF me and NPCs have all moved further forward about 3 steps every 10th second or so. This makes fighting pretty much hardcore, which in itself is much needed in AC but not like this 😛 except that I haven’t encountered any other gambreaking glitch or bug. The menus are a pain in the arse to navigate though, Ubisoft have no skill whatsoever in making an easy to navigate menu of a decent scale. Also, why the fudge isn’t there a headphone/speaker audio setting? Everything except the music and positioning of NPC voices is in mono quality.
you are all set to fail as the big large companies want the money instead
I completed Unity yesterday. Was sitting around 40fps at ultra settings with my GTX 980 at 1440p so not thaaaat bad. Did get some of the random frame rate dipping, although mostly at random points and not in intensive crowd scenes necessarily.
What a shame, Ubisoft. Sooooo desperatly broken and you have the audacity to call that pre-alpha broken code “gold” and on top, ask pre order money for this POS??? LMAO… What a fucking disgrace.
You must have a death wish Ubisoft. When you take your own customer for granted like that and are completely disregardful, you deserve to go bankrupt. Ubisoft, the new, and even worse E.A. No one will miss you, Ubisoft.
Releases THAT broken should be criminal and classified as false advertisement and false representation. Someone at Ubisoft should go to jail for that.
Because they essentially admitted that on PCs, the ONLY graphics cards that will work with Unity was the 970 and 980 because of DX 12.
Ubisoft is just another company that pushes games out the door broken and fixes them later. Anybody who pays for Ubisoft games supports this toxic model of development.
Word up. I won’t buy Ubisoft games at launch anymore. The last three titles I bought from them had serious problems on the PC. It’s a shame too, because I actually really like their games.
The reason companies make the games and send them out is to get feedback from you guys to fix what ever problems you are facing and if you think they are taking advantage of you, you are sadly mistaken.For me I support ubisoft and I have the patience to wait
