4th Assassin's Creed: Unity Patch Causing More Issues, 40 GB on Xbox One - News

The problems with Assassin's Creed: Unity continue to grow. The game launched with many issues including glitches, bugs, pop-ins, and framerate slowdowns. The fourth patch hit today for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, while the PC patch will release later this week. The patch is a massive 6.7 GB.

"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," said Ubisoft in a post on the official site. "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."

Xbox One users have reported that instead of the patch being 6.7 GB in size, it is a massive 40 GB. Ubisoft has confirmed the reports that Xbox One owners who have downloaded the previous three patches have to download 40 GB for the fourth patch. This is an issue with the downloading process.

"This is obviously not the expected behaviour, and we apologise that many of you will have to wait longer than expected to complete this download," said Ubisoft. "This issue isn't causing any other problems and once the download is completed players will have the most-up-to-date and fully patched version of Assassin's Creed Unity."

There are also some people who have reported the amount of pop-ins have increased instead of decrease since they downloaded the latest patch.

I was hoping to play some AC:U today, but the 40GB patch prevented that. God I hope this shit doesn't happen for the entire gen.

I was wondering why it was taking so long to download the update.

They made the game worse than it was before? Wow, they went far and beyond to disprove me. I never thought they could get anymore stupid. Clearly they can.
I apologise to those that I may have misled.
