Assassin's Creed Unity Patch 4 is 6.7 GB in size

Patch 4 for Assassin's Creed Unity was released today for Xbox One and PS4, with the PC patch due out later this week. Ubisoft explained the need for a super-sized patch on the official Assassin's Creed website.

As part of our ongoing efforts to provide the best experience for our players, we will be releasing Patch 4 for Assassin’s Creed Unity today. This patch is mainly focused on alleviating performance issues and improving the overall experience. 

Part of the team’s effort to enhance frame rate for players involves replacing and updating portions of the Paris city map where we are seeing issues. This explains the large size of this title update (6.7 GB). However, since a large portion of the patch replaces existing files the net increase to the game’s overall size will be less than 6.7 GB. 

Patch 4 delivers a variety fixes including: 

  • Performance & Stability: Frame rate drops, game crashes, lost progression

As usual, another AAA game shoved out the door before it was properly tested/finished, all done to grab the almighty $$$$$ during the holiday season.
A 6.7GB PATCH
. . . . . is a complete joke.


It could be worse

Apparently, the patch is 40 gb on xbox one. :wanker:

I moved on from Windows 7 ever since BF4 came out, I don't know what's wrong with AC:Unity. I too am at 1440p maxed with TXAA iirc, both cards are at a stable 1554/7908 MHz OC, but I can't keep 60 FPS, and it's not that bad that it drops in 40s 50s, but when it does it stutters, with no reason. There are several videos on the net with exactly my problem. I'm using the latest WHQL drivers, maybe I'll have to use some newer ones?


I bet it's because you're using TXAA. TXAA is broken in this game (the patch may fix it though), and because the AC Unity engine uses deferred rendering, using TXAA or MSAA results in a very large performance hit.

I highly recommend using FXAA instead. It gets rid of 98% of the jaggies and has practically no performance hit.

I see, I'll try it out asap. ;)

Quite from the kotaku article link in that twitter link ..

UPDATE 2: 10:34pm Ubisoft has confirmed that the 40GB download is for real. It's not a display error. They posted the following on their official site

Currently there is one known workaround: Owners of the disc version of the game can uninstall the game and reinstall it. On starting the game, the patch process will start with the correct download size.
