The latest title update for Assassin’s Creed Unity may be the biggest so far.
Launching today on PS4 and later this week on Xbox One and PC, Patch 3 features “over three hundred fixes designed to improve your Assassin’s Creed Unity experience”, including improvements to the game’s frame rate and fixes to AI, matchmaking and gameplay.
Some of the problems resolved include “various haystack issues” – presumably the issue that saw Arno getting stuck inside haystacks – and “improved task scheduling”, which is believed to be one of the main causes of the stumbling frame rate.
A future patch will “further address frame rate concerns”, Ubisoft says, with more information expected in the coming week.
