GerAlt-Right. Ciriously.
If patch sizes like this become the norm (and there are signs this is the case) then people with bandwidth caps could be affected.
Not to mention I can only get 15Mbps which means these patches take a while.

This game is one mess after another.
And also the patch released the day after the $30 deal, lol.

Stiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiill waiting on my Free Far Cry 4, Ubisoft.
Sad that it sounds like you've already accepted this.
That looks pretty bad.

The fact that this had to happen in the first place is ridiculous.
Even then there are NO chests requiring microtransactions.
Sorry, I alway forget about you heroes out there with capped connections. Didn't mean to be a dick about it.
lol

People should really get off the negative bandwagon and (assuming this actually fixes the things it promises) give this game a go. I completed it (no forced micro transactions, why do people make this stuff up?!) and thoroughly enjoyed it, only AC i've liked since the first!

There's a boat chase scene mission in the game, will record footage of it.

Looks fairly smooth, but I'm not sure how taxing that area is. I haven't played the game yet, but if the performance is acceptable now and it gets a good sale, I may pick it up.

They don't need microtransactions, they need freemium social garbage, it's different.

I'm kind of afraid they'll point out a downgrade that I hadn't noticed and I'll be unable to unsee it. Locked 30fps will definitely be worth it though

When the game detects a low frame rate, it automatically streams in the version of Paris from the PS1 game Rugrats in Paris.

Not sure if I'll benefit from this patch really. I finished the main campaign in the last few days and I'm doubtful that I'll make it back in to do the collectathon that remains

not wasting bandwidth on this. I already platinumed the game and I learned my lesson about opening a game with such shady review embargoes. ubisoft can continue to fuck off.

It feels smoother to me. And it didn't unlock the dlc btw, which is what I was hoping for

yeah exactly and its not nice to see. Supposed to be a hobby we all love but we all seem hell bent on destroying it from the inside.

As soon as I spawned I walked to that area and triggered the alert so that as many npcs as possible in that area would get scared and do the whole "oh no danger run away" thing.

Was the boat chase scene problematic prior to the patch? I mean performance wise?

I'll never understand this logic. So you hated the game, but still managed to platinum. Ok.
Really fast impressions from 5 mins walking around Paris. It definitively feels smother now. Still theres some drops in the big crowded areas, not as much as before. Still need to check the most problematic areas.
I dont see any other changes btw, still NPC pop-in, same (or almost the same) NPC countdown, same long ass loading times... and still no Club competitions (I know DLC wasnt about that but come the fuck on...)

Can you check Notre Dame or other cities that cripples the framerate to see if there is an improvement? If you don't mind that is.

Hahaha
Higher visual quality in games = more data, it's inescapable
Also, I'd imagine that since they're refurbishing parts of the game world, which is supposed to heavily use baked lighting (likely baked global illumination), they've had to rebake a significant chunk of that lighting, if not all of it. Baked lighting contributes massively to file size, but it's a trade off for a better looking and better running game.

i didn't show them anything, I bought a glitchy game that never should have been released in the first place.

I'll be happy if this patch does what they claim. I was really excited by this game, as I am every year with AC.
It sucks that I bought it digitally, and for $60. And it sucks that I never played it much. Getting a patch that makes it better might get me to play it, which is kind of like getting a new game that I was looking forward to after all.

Not for me but I have seen LP videos where the framerate drops during that chase.
USB transfers are so slow. >.<

But you Platinum'd it... It must not have been that bad in your mind.

Yeah but you don't even have the option to play the game on Wii U.
Even with the poor frame rate and large patches, people are still enjoying the game.

the game is ridiculously easy to plat
That actually looks pretty smooth. Can you talk about the responsiveness? have you noticed any downgrades to the graphics or something else you might have noticed? i am excited to see if this fixes all the things i have a problem with.

Bandwidth caps are an absolute joke, I'm sorry for people that have to deal with them. Although upgrading to this gen probably isn't the best idea if you have to deal with caps and crap. It's very possible it will be the norm.
Good on them for releasing this patch though, I thought they'd just wait for the hate to die down and just ignore it. Too bad I already finished the game though, never ran into any issues and frame-rate was alright (outside of huge crowds).
