Ubisoft has outlined the major fixes planned for Assassin's Creed Unity's patch 3. While Ubisoft admits it "won't solve every problem" with the game, the developer maintains that it will "dramatically improve" your gameplay experience.
"As compared to the previous patch, Patch 3 is going to be larger in scope, addressing a number of bugs in the areas where you're telling us you're having problems," Ubisoft said. A full list of specific bug fixes isn't finalized yet, but here's a general overview of what to expect:
- Gameplay: this includes bugs like Arno getting stuck on certain areas of the map (including a few more hay carts), problems with getting into/out of cover, character animation bugs, and general camera problems
- AI & Crowd: in this category are problems with NPC animations, crowd events, and crowd stations, NPC navigation issues, as well as bugs related to NPCs detecting Arno’s activities in various situations
- Matchmaking & Connectivity: this covers a number of issues related to co-op play, including bugs with joining games in-progress and problems that happen during host migration
- Menus & HUD: fixes in this category will address missing details in certain menus, problems with some of the mission objective and co-op update pop-ups, localization inconsistencies, as well as some of the issues with menus and pop-ups overlapping each other
- General Stability: this includes fixes for a number of crash situations we've identified in both campaign and co-op modes.
"Part of what we want to do at this point is balance the competing desires to get as much as we can into the patch with getting it out quickly. Once we’ve locked down exactly what will be in Patch 3, we will update you again with a more specific set of patch notes," Ubisoft added. Looking ahead, the developer assured players they are also investigating various performance issues including framerate drops. Unfortunately, we'll have to wait a few days before we get more information on that.
