Arno seems like the Ezio archetype version 2, except with extremely rushed build up and character development.
This is not all that uncommon for XB1 games from third parties.
Its an ubi game. You should know by now how it isSo it does and it doesn't? Lol
Yeah, it's pretty obvious they were trying to piggyback on Ezio's success.
You probably just connected to a better server.
I've put about 10 hours into this the last few days on PS4, and found the framerate manageable, but the npc pop-in was really bugging me. After the patch it seems much worse. Am i the only one seeing this ?, whole groups of npcs popping in everywhere and their shadows, building textures in the distance and shit on the street popping in around every corner. I just had a group of npc's pop in as i ran into them.(Gif below)
If you haven't patched your game yet, and aren't bothered about the framerate as much as the pop in, dont download this shit.
Heres a webm of the pop in after the patch

You're not alone. This npc stuff is just pissing me off.

Oh shit if you didn't say anything I would have just thought it was some weird animus crap.
Ubi should just explain all the glitches as "weird animus crap".

Wow, this game should not even be released yet. This could have done with a few more months in the oven...but I guess they would have missed the holiday period sales if they did that, and we all know how much Ubisoft values profit over giving their customers a quality product.
I, like a few others in this thread, were going to wait and see if this patch improved things before buying this game. But that's looking less and less likely. I think I'm about ready to give up on Ubisoft completely.
You can see when the npc's pop-in in that gif, how ubi programmed some little visual effect as they materialize, like they anticipated the pop in, and tried to make it look cool.
Yeah looks like a false alarm. I booted the game up and after selecting to continue it sent me to an in game installing screen stuck at 0%.

LOL. I didn't even think about it that way until I read your comment. Wow.

Ugh, I was at 50% but deleted it and uninstalled to try that "trick". Now it's the same speed and I started all over. I dun goofed lol.
Back to Kalimba -.-

That is fucking awful. Guess I'll be waiting for patch 5 to start the game.
Woooooooooow....... youre so right...jeezus that in and of itself deserves a thread
EDIT: On second thought that is a good method to use....the game was released in such a fucked up state, that not everything could be fixed, its a decent quick fix
MOTHER OF GOD YOU'RE RIGHT

"hello?" "this is vagina"
We heard your complaints about NPC "pop in" issues loud and clear. As part of our ongoing dedication to quality control, we've made them flash blue.

Yup, I thought the same when I played earlier. I still don't believe Ubi about the massive number of NPC's not causing the framerate dips.

Kind of like they're being warped in from another dimension.

Frame rate is better.
Pop-in is absolutely awful.
I'm stunned.

I'm afraid it's not in development anymore. They finished their works and now focus on a newer beta of AC Victory.
P.S: Maybe this is somehow connected with the end of the world? I think Ubisoft is just a cover for the NWO theory

It amazes me that they took the time and effort to create a little animation/effect for NPC pop-in, instead of taking the time and effort to make sure that it doesn't happen as often.
^^^ This GIF pretty much sums up how I feel towards Ubisoft lately.

They could have, you know, just thinned the herd a bit instead.
This is the way the XBox One handles patching. You're downloading large packet files that had modifications done to them which in this case is pretty much everything. The PS4 just downloads the data that has been changed.

Where have you read that? Because that is the 1st time I download a patch like that, so I'd call that bs. Hopefully, you're wrong!
Didn't the old-gen consoles do things exactly other way around, with the PS3 having to download enormous patches and the 360 having rather small patches almost always?
I thought this was common knowledge? 40GB is particularly bad but there have been other cases of games having huge patches on XB1 compared to PS4. Sniper Elite 3 had that 16GB patch on XBox vs 500MB on PS4.

I'm surprised XB1 owners are trying to download the 40GB patch at all. Why not just wait until they put the correct version up?
Wait for gooby to fix it ? This is the 4th patch and the game is still broken
People paid to play not to wait
Man, I give up trying to teach you people that THE GAME IS CPU BOUND and resolution has practically NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CPU.
If Ubi wanted the game to be 1080p on PS4, they could make it happen with relative ease. I cannot believe there are so many people who believe Ubosoft's bullshit excuses.
They wanted visual parity and they're sticking with it. That's the truth.
I've had some huge patches, but it was always for games that were sorta messed up. I don't think anyone has confirmed that the patch system is broken like last gen ps3.
I'm happy this is going to be a Christmas game. Patch 6 should be awesome!
But honestly, it's a hard debate to make, NPC's popping in via the Animus type apparitions vs. frame rate. When they're popping in feet away like they are in the webm, that's a problem, but if it's in the distance, that isn't so bad. Performance of playing the actual game should take precedent.

They said that this will be the last patch in the blog post before the patch, but who knows what will happen with a bit more of that backlash.
Lots of ways. $10 unlimited (or free) add-on, for one.
