  1. Its good that they are patching it but what a huge list it is. Reading it you think how broken it is. They should just said “fixed various issues” as previous patch.

    1. So true. I’m starting to think that one year is not enough to make a true next gen game. Also having 1 good game every 2 years is much better than 1 shitty/buggy game every year -_-

    1. First i was gonna make a funny comment against them,(because look at the whole list :O omfg) but now that i thought about it.. it’s a big open world game, its bound to have places where you get stuck (or god forbid.. you fall thru the map >.>) They can’t possibly test every single detail right? It’s like Just Cause 2 or World of Warcraft/MMO games. The world is too big to test every single inch. However i could say against them that they could of taken at least 60 extra days to polish the game and remove most of those problems. It sure does smell like a rushed out game..

      P.s. Speaking of WoW, no matter how much Blizzard fix it, i always seem to find some super weird places from where i can fall thru the map, or i simply get stuck.. My friends have NEVER been in my situations. Perhaps i’m just unlucky..

      1. Sure it’s a big world, Ubisoft is also a multinational-multimillion corporation, and as such, they shouldn’t skimp resources in quality testing.

        Reply

        1. I guess you guys are right. Ubisoft are quite big and they sure can afford it. I guess it really is a problem of them being either lazy, or running out of time, because 1 year might not be enough. Perhaps they should start making Assassins games once every 2-3 years. We won’t get as bored of them that way either. 😛

          1. funny thing is they said it took them 3years to build ACU, of course they are lying, i’m sure they just build it in less than two years

        2. Its not testing that’s the issue, the QA guys regularly red flag this s**t, its the developers and programmers, who often refuse to fix it outright, and force the game to a early launch, so they can work without deadline stress on patches.

          Reply

          1. I don’t know, if that were the case I don’t think the suits would allow that to happen. I’m no insider but in my opinion this is just standard corp practice, you know ‘We can’t afford more delays, let’s sell it as it is now, we’ll fix it later’

            The devs and programmers must have been REALLY stressed out and putting insane hours to deliver those first patches after the sh*t hit the fan.

          2. My point here, is that its not being missed, QA guys are thorough, sombody somewhere is forcing its release early before they have fixed the bugs, people always seem to wonder how QA missed the bugs, the truth is they dont, they compile them and their reports are often used for the first few bug patches.

        3. They arnt, testers regularly see these problems, and compile them in detailed lists, its the developers and executives who decide to release the buggy product.

          Reply

      2. They supposed to test the game as they make it, it’s not a big deal getting people to run around the game doing random stuff everywhere, clearly they didn’t play their own game.

        Reply

        1. Yea maybe they didn’t test it as they were making it. Somewhere i heard they were just testing if the story and quests were working, but that still leaves a bit chunck of the game un-tested if its true.

          Anyway, I have yet to see a game where some of those problems don’t happen. 🙂 I used to glitch out in GTA4/Oblivion/Fallout 3 and (alot of others too) so much, and just yesterday as we were talking i fell thru the track on Dirt 3 and Project Cars (well thats not out yet, but still did happen). 😛

        2. Thing is QA guys regularly test this stuff, and flag the problems, the executives and developers often decide to release a buggy product and use the QA’s bug list to patch the issues afterwards.

      3. No one argues that a big open world game shouldnt have bugs, but i havent seen such a buggy game since that trash called boiling point road to h3ll and yes the name describes the game.

        Reply

    2. Day 5, i still havent made it to the end of the patchlog, but to answer your question, selling the game is more important than making it, if it sucks, there is always nex year.

      Or you can buy rogue.

  6. They probably think listing 300 bug fixes makes them look like they are working hard and deserve praise. To me, it just looks like they released a game broken by over 300 bugs. Shame. I usually have a lot of fun playing Assassins Creed games. I’ll be waiting a long time before I take a leap of faith on this one.

    Reply

    1. If only…you know, NOT RELEASING 10 GAMES A YEAR and finishing the gmae you are making…IF ONLY, ubisoft will be at new heights.

      Reply

  8. 2 more patches and Assassin’s Creed: Unity will be a masterpiece that it should have been. Just shows how important a few more months of polish can do to a games quality. Batman Arkham Knight & The Witcher 3 will both be polished masterpieces and I am pretty sure their content development has already been completed and now they are just working on polishing the games and making DLCs.

    2. Well, i put it this way fc4 is on 1.4 now, seems like it will get a 1.6. So yeah, ubisoft increases the patch count every 3 years.

      Reply

  9. What a mess… 300 bugs? And people is reporting new bugs after patch and old ones bugs remain there… +1 for steam removing this crap from the store

    Reply

      1. it’s still there for me but one day before launch this and FC4 vanished from steam and then backed in. they should add a big blue EarlyAccess in it’s front page, and people should add full priced game with microtransaction tag for it 😀

  12. Geeez you suck. lol That from the Pirate version because not even my 750ti get’s that kinda performance hit. I will post a pic. Heck if I will even underclock my i7 to a I5 just to show you what kinda trash you are posting

    Reply

    1. And somehow you think pirates can make the performance worse than it already is LOL, Wow man, I think you got brainwasted by the corps that their DRM works perfectly and doesn’t affect performance at all. I could buy this game tomorrow but I won’t until it’s fixed, glad I didn’t waste my money like all of you other day one idiots.

      BTW, I seen your video of your GTX 750 TI dropping to 20fps on low at 720p, mine is on ultra, 1080p, HBAO+, FXAA

      Reply

      1. wow man you just don’t get it. most pirate copies don’t do proper patches… and are lased with spyware/mailware that cripple your entire system.

        Reply

        2. False positives, mind you that official DRM is running great I heard, along with official client performance problems. LOL

          Funny how Total Biscuit hasn’t even done a ‘WTF is’ about ACU and Lords of the Fallen because of such problems.

          Reply

          1. Talking about that. After all patches. Do you know how lord of the fallen is performing? Good? Bad? Ctd?

          2. performance is still the same. game runs good but without nvidia’s physx, but without that game wont have any other option for physics and you lose some physics effects like spikes etc which are availabe on consoles but not on PC

          3. I read a review, the guy posted the crash log and said “after 30 hours i hav to change my positive review to negative because i lost hours of progresss due to a crash”

        3. Im gonna show you how dirty is ubi on pc. Cuz looks like you are new on the scene
          read just 1 example. Couple of years ago.

          Ubisoft has recently released a patch for the Direct2Drive release of Rainbow Six Vegas 2 addressing problems caused by a previous patch which caused the game to look for a CD that obviously wasn’t there. That’s the good news.

          The funny news is that, in an effort to get the patch out quickly, Ubisoft used a no-CD crack made by the pirating ring Reloaded to circumvent it’s own copy protection methods. Nice

          The whole thing was exposed when wily gamers cracked open the patch to have a look at it and saw that Ubisoft had not removed the signatures imprinted on the original crack by Team Reloaded.

          Ubisoft has now removed the file from the site and said that the matter is being thoroughly investigated.

          1. Been building my own gaming pc’s since 1998 man… as for Ubisoft games I am new to them since normally I always got them on console.

          2. that hate against ubisoft when it comes to PC have a long history, it’s not just bashing it for fun, nobody likes to bash a good company, they did many things wrong about their PC games in the past decade. it’s painful because they started as a pc company. just look at ghost recon aw 1 and 2 and their PC versions. they look awful

          3. never played them on pc. oldest ubisoft game on pc I purchased was Far Cry 2. And I never really was into reading about games and complaining about them just playing them eh eh

          4. if ubisoft spend half as much time working on pc as they spend bashing it, they would be the best dev aouthere.

            AW1 and AW2 arent even made by ubisoft but the studio who did bionic commando, wanted and terminator salvation, they are not even the same games, they got diffirent missions, diffirent dialogues, diffirent weapons diffirent camera etc etc.

          5. And yet you seem to stick to this outdated idea that pirated games perform worse because you can’t understand someone’s performance problems. The likes of securom, starforce and general DRM causes more problems than pirates can ever do. think of them as modders, because they generally make games work better for a lot of people.

            Also, pirates have long said support the dev if you like the game, who knows how many sales games get from pirated copies that people tried and liked, then brought it.

          6. Count me on that list. My steam account is full of games I played entirely prior buying. Most devs support the idea of “If you like the game buy it”. “If you can’t afford it enjoy it anyway”. We all support games whenever we can.

        4. Where are you getting this idea that pirated copies don’t get proper patches? You do know that the torrent itself is a proper copy with patches, they just separate them out. These people have been doing it for a very long time, probably more experienced than the noobs Ubisoft employ. Also, it’s well known that the likes of Skidrow and Reloaded are trusted sources, that’s no secret, even if you don’t pirate.

          I bet their are plenty of people willing to buy the game when it’s fixed properly and not realised in beta test at full price, but if you want to keep being a sheep then be my guest. AAA game devs are going to crash not because of piracy but because of their own ways ,just look at their stocks drop after the mess of ACU, they did their own damage.

    2. Dude, are you being serious right now? Look, i don’t usually play pirated games, but when i’m in doubt about some game, i prefer to test it first (it should be our right as consumers mainly when the product in discussion are video games, given by how it’s market really makes profits nowadays ). I prefer not to be specific in what i do for a living but, i can assure you that there is no DRM system today in the market capable of hitting a software performance even for videos games. You don’t need to accept the information i’m posting here but, i have reasons to know what i’m talking about. In the end, none of that makes a difference anyway, what sells video games is not per sé its technical quality….hu…better stop here. Cheers!!

        1. they are the exact same patches as the official ones (as proper as official ones, but in this case, official patch is broken so as pirated one). games, in this case Ubisoft games runs with a loader, and that loader is way less resource hungry than uplay itself.

    1. John Mellinge thinks pirated version runs worse, even though the clients and DRM are known to crash, slow the game down or even break the game LOL

      1. i guess pirated versions works better or at least the same, this has proven long time ago. you don’t need to run a client in the background and crack itself disables such a thing or most tasks for the game to run. this happened with M&MH6 (last dlc), i had the original game but i couldn’t play the game, i used a crack and boom game ran fine, it took more than a week for ubisoft to fix it, but with cracked version game had no problem in day1.

        1. He could at least spell my freaking name right. And the majority of pirated versions don’t “works better” they are garbage and don’t even have proper patches. Not to mention they are lased with spyware/mailware

          Reply

          1. come on dude, you are a reasonable man, get over it, it’s ubisoft and its not worth defending. but almost all of the pirated games works as well as their original ones. those spyware/virus things are just flase positive because of signature/codes or whatever it is in the cracked version. just send them to your AV lab and wait a day or less, they will show you the results and they are clean in almost all the cases.

          2. I am not defending it… but if I notice performance I will say something… and not just bash left and right like most people are good at .

          3. bashing a ubisoft game is alright, they s**t too many times on their PC fans that these bashings wont even do them justice. i said it above, game wont act normal to changes and there were no performance patches. test it more and continue to do so, maybe that time of the day or location caused the fps drop for your first try, maybe higher settings make it runs better than low

          4. All you care about is that I spelt your name wrong when I really just copy pasted it wrong. Nice diversion from your crappy outdated argument

        2. He’s a hypocrite, I seen his i7/GTX750 TI video and his FPS dropped to 20fps just by running around on low, 720p and yet claims I have a pirated version that’s 20fps on ultra. 1080p in ‘some’ areas.

          Reply

          1. and this game shoudn’t be a problem for a 750ti on at least medium to high settings on more than 720p. but it is, because of ubisoft

          2. “Geeez you suck. lol That from the Pirate version because not even my 750ti get’s that kinda performance hit”

            Yet his video shows drops under 30fps and 20fps in parts on low, 720p his idea is deluded that pirated version are worse LOL. The guy can’t even check his own frame-rates.

          3. yeah and guess what idiot I posted new right out of the bag patch test showing more performance. so please piss off 🙂

          4. hypocrite guess what idiot that was when the game 1st came out… and now it runs a lot better even using ultra preset!

      2. if you are going to use my name d bag at least SPELL IT RIGHT! lol wow what punk.. most pirate games don’t have proper patches and have more spyware/mailware then all the x rated sites you go to.

    2. if you seen my image post you will see other wise… I even tested it on my lower range card the 750ti when the gave came out I was getting 20/22 fps at 1080p on low preset with fxaa… Now I am getting the same fps with everything set to ultra using msaa-x2.

      1. it’s not the patch because they clearly said this patch is not for performance issues, they said they fixed some performance problems on PS4 when connected but thats it.

        Reply

          1. different time of the day, different location etc… this game don’t act like a normal game, i saw people with ultra or low setting getting the same performace, i saw people with ultra setting (textures only) getting better performance than high or low even without patches

          2. well for me I played threw the whole game… and now it’s almost were I expect it to be for a lower mid range card for performance. Looks like another month or two and ubisoft will have a respectable product.

          3. you have very low expectations, congratz 😀
            compared to consoles you have a monster instead of CPU. better GPU, lower resolution, better overall settings, lower fps. replay some missions and test them, specially seq9mem3 or end of seq2.

          4. game runs amazing on my 970. But you would think a 750ti could pull it off since it makes the console versions of BF4/Titanfall look like garbage.

          5. “game runs amazing on my 970”
            it’s not amazing but if it runs better on that card and it’s not an achievement. they should’ve releaseed ACU in late 2015, they screwed it up bad.

          6. “they should’ve releaseed ACU in late 2015” I been saying that as well to wait for at least DX12 since we all know Nvidia will not make Mantle drivers. You don’t see AC rouge on PS3/xbox360 having all these issues…

  14. this changing cloth bug was in their first trailer of the game in E3. the game is still in dev build (they changed it to N/A), not even beta yet.
    PS: i get it now, cloth didn’t changed, lod happened :)) even fifa 2003 had better models in stadium’s sits than this newly improved next-gen only masterpeace

  15. I7 downclocked to a I5 using my 750ti 1080p on ultra preset with 2xMSAA… So WTF if your problem with a R9 280 and a 6core FX Problem? BTW the 1st image is set to low when the game 1st came out and the buttom is after the newest patch

    Reply

      1. Ether way I see performance I mean come on 1st image is when the game 1st came out… everything on low with fxaa at 1080p…. now getting the same performance on ultra at 1080p with 2xmsaa…

        1. In a different areas yeah, I can post screenshots of 40fps+ on ultra, in fact I did in the other article. Three things, it could be a driver bug, it could be a game bug, it could be just bad AMD optimisation in the game. All PC’s are different dude, you should know that.

    4. I’m running an AMD 8350 and r290 and even on medium settings it is a stutter fest with Patch 3..in fact I think it is worse now. I tried using the beta AMD drivers specifically designed for AC Unity and in addition I now have flickering textures. Any crowd scene is an unplayable stuttering mess, ironically the cut scenes play like butter. This is the first game I have had such trouble with, except Watch Dogs which eventually was patched to playability. AC Mordor runs rings around this game performance wise.

      2. Doesn’t stutter much at all for me and the beta driver don’t make much difference from 14.9. 1.3 patch seems ok, still NPCs dropping through the ground. I’m running FX-6300@4.5Ghz/R9 280 1100/1500.

  16. Awesome fps using max settings and this update on a single GTX 680!
    Thank you Ubisoft! 🙂
    But please work harder on Far Cry 4 its still a mess and it has FPS drops!

      2. He’s go a 4th Gen i7 so yeah derp, derp it runs OK for him, just like John and his i7, GTX970/750Ti, both these people can’t get around that fact.

        1. yep :)) , after all human eyes can’t see more than 5fps.
          60fps = weird and bad for the eyes.
          30fps = amazing cinematic feel.
          24fps = cinema itself.

          2. As someone who works in the entertainment industry, I approve this message!

            More info for others if they’re curious:
            23.976fps = Most HD cinematic content
            24fps = True cinematic film speed
            25fps (PAL) = Cinematic speed for our peeps in Europe
            29.97fps = Most HD cinematic content for tv.

            Plenty of awesome options folks.

          4. Actually my eyes can tell the difference between 30 and 60fps. it can be a surreal change. I’ve gotten used to 60 fps and i tend to prefer it.

  19. What I have noticed is that whenever my framerate drops to the mid 20’s, even though it shows that the GPU usage is 99%, the GPU temperature doesn’t increase too much. When I play Crysis 3, the temperature reaches ~73C, but with unity it remains around 50-60C.

  22. Typical Ubisoft, rush a game to market, absolutely stock full of game wrecking bugs, and then bother patching after the fact, this has become the standard way the game industry works, its like car makers putting a defective car on the road, and then making a recall later.
