Assassin's Creed: Unity 300+ fix.  The Action Pixel. @theactionpixelAssassin’s Creed: Unity has been plagued with problems since its launch, from poorly loaded graphics and elements disappearing from the environment to their abuse of the embargo law that stops game journalist from publishing reviews with 48 hours of a game’s release. One or two blemishes we can understand, but the problems were so stark that it infringed on any immersive gameplay. The impropriety comes when you look at the whole picture; Ubisoft knowingly put a defective product on the shelves in a rush to get on the rung of the Christmas season ladder.Sad, considering we were all so stoked to see the customisable element of the game, but instead were greeted with a near unplayable game.

This is further bolstered by news out of Ubisoft, that says the next Assassin’s Creed: Unity patch updates will consist over a whopping 300 fixes. Among this colossal amount of game fixes, issues involving glitches, animation fixes and crashes will be fixed. Fixes for the glitchy frame rate is also said to be fixed by the updates, with further work being done in the Ubisoft camp to fix the frame rate. Patch 3 will be sent out today November 26th, and subsequently followed by further updates. We’d list them all, but we only have that much database space… Ah hell, let’s just look at gameplay fixes only:
