Assassin's Creed: Unity

[Pighardia]

Oh great, a tailing mission, cause everyone loves those incredibly innovative pieces of gameplay. Forget crashing and embargoes and fps debates, this is the worst thing Ubi ever did!

On a positive note though, a lot of the gameplay is more open-ended, which is welcome, and at least a step in the right direction.


Switching to offline made no difference for me.

I'm actually enjoying it.

I'm actually enjoying it.

I am mostly enjoying the game itself tbh. A lot of it is still bad though. The modern day bits and the desynchronisation for a start.

No idea what the fps is but it smooth enough. It jitters a bit occasionally but is perfectly playable.

Tbh I was expecting a slideshow at 1440p ultra settings but so far after about an hour it's been fine.

Agree. Game running very well for me. Smooth as butter 1440p G-Sync 2 980 SLI. No crashes. Really enjoying the game so far.

Has anyone else had random freezes where the game just totally stops working?

 

[MOOGLEYS]

I have had one crash to desktop but apart from that and one flying person it's been fine for me. It's actually a pretty decent game if you ignore all the hatred.

Yep. I discovered it was due to the CPU usage jumping from 50% to 100% and random button mashing and ctrl + alt + del seemed to do the trick.

Lots of that, I cant even start it with sli. I tried moving the install to another drive but of course uplay can't deal with that and now I have to re download everything. I think I'll just leave it and wait for some updates.

How Assassin's Creed: Unity's micro-transactions work

Not for me unfortunately! I get the .exe has stopped responding error

Oh, that's frustrating. I've not had that... yet!

Only one crash but that was because I overlooked my CPU a bit more.

The game is frustrating though. When fighting even though the fps doesn't drop the controller response does and the amount of times I have died because I'm either trying to dodge or trying to use a health thing is unbelievable

Is it ok to play with a mouse and keyboard? I have an xbox one controller but no idea if it will work.

I found the controls very responsive. Dodging and attacking was very easy. I'm 2 hours in and haven't died yet.

It's far too easy. I got to sequence 8 before realising the clothing had stats on it and wasn't just for show.

 

[Pighardia]

Just got an update for mine. 790mb. Is this the patch?

 

[jc0]

I was bracing myself for the worst having read all the negativity - particularly regarding FPS issues but I'm rarely dipping below 60fps with everything on max at 1440p, apart from shadows (high) and FXAA. Paris looks incredible and it's far smoother than Boston was in AC3.

I have an i3570 and SLI 670 FTW's.

 

[R400]

Patch looks to be fubar :/

Just doing a mission to kill someone. Running along and suddenly the screen starts tearing, yep, that u guessed it. Desyncronized!... It says my ally died, even though it a solo mission and nobody else has been mentioned. Forget performance issues this is the **** that needs to stop!
