the pro version looks worse, even if it's less blurrier, due to that weird artifact on edges.

If Ubisoft would actually show some respect for the console gamers and improve these games I would consider picking up their games again.
As it is, I don't even touch their PC versions anymore, really a shame since they were by far my favorite publisher/developer last gen.
Their PC versions are pretty much flawless. I just recently picked up Rogue, Liberation and Syndicate and they've all looked and ran perfectly with zero crashes or issues with all 3 games from start to end. For as much crap as Ubisoft gets, I have a lot of faith for their PC versions.
Thats the thing, I did exactly that with a native 1080p image, resized it to 1440x1620 then upscaled it to 4k and downsampled it back down to 1080p and it leagues better then what we getting, the rendering is just way below 1080p and upscaled badly like they actually put effort into making it look bad.The blurry pixels look like when you take in image in Photoshop and do a basic resize to make it larger. It looks like an absence of more detail. Something is clearly fucked up here.
It's the same number of pixels natively rendered, yes. But that would then mean no checkerboard rendering is happening at all.Native resolution for 2880x1620 checkerboard
In that case, the "something" would have to be checkerboard in its entirety. The whole point of checkerboard rendering is that you, you know, render the other half of the pixels (with a different process). The results of pixel counting Syndicate indicate that the other half aren't even being generated. So either the game is meant to be 1620c but checkerboard is doing nothing at all, or else it's using checkerboard rendering with a 1440x1620 target (which would be an awful choice).It's probably supposed to be 2880x1620 but something in their checkerboard rendering pipeline fails.

What's bizarre to me is how much worse it looks at 1080p, which neither NXGamer or Digital Foundry went into.Well, I do appreciate that they tried but the final result is pretty disappointing.
I liked Syndicate a lot, and now that I'm a Pro owner, I'm not sure I'm too eager to reinstall the game and give it another go unless the pixel artifacts get sorted... Looks real bad, IMO.
I hope your right, I would actually restart the game if they fix it.Reached out to Ubisoft support with the following response:
- They have no announcement for any form of update to the game
- The information I shared with them regarding low image quality on the PS4 pro will be passed on to the dev team
It's safe to assume that since this patch went up just before the long weekend that no one was there to properly assess the complaints until today.
If indeed it was a glitch it's safe to assume we should hear something within a week with a small fix to follow.
If it's not a glitch and that is how the patch was intended to look, then the next step on Ubisoft's end will be entirely dependent on the feedback of the community. The more noise we make, the more complaints we file, the better the chances we get of a fix.
Syndicate is one of the best Assassins Creed games out there. I strongly implore all of you to give it a try
I'm starting to think that this patch isn't glitched. Probaly that ugly resolution was a deliberate choice.
This is way worse than the TLOU fiasco. At least Ubisoft responded...
Still nothing?
Thank you for contacting Ubisoft Customer Support, my name is Helena and I'll be assisting you today.
Please accept my apologies for the time it took me to get back to you on this ticket. We aim to reply within 48 hours, although sadly this is not always possible. We are doing our best to improve our service to ensure our responses are as quick as possible.
Regarding your Assassin's Creed: Syndicate and the latest Update from your Console, I'm truly sorry my fellow Player, to hear that since the latest updates your game is not running as it should My best advice at this point would be to bear with us and Sony for the next updates, that make the bridge between 4K, the Pro Version and the game itself, as for now we don't have any troubleshooting steps to give you to try to sort this out.
Thank you so much for all your patience and kindness,if you have any questions or doubts, please let me know. I will be here for you!
Kind Regards,
Helena

Ever since the latest patch to support the PS4 Pro was introduced, the game has been looking ridiculously blurry on my 4K screen, according to tech tests, it's running at 1440px1620p which seems to be the root of the problem.Could you please let me know whether you are aware of the issue and are working on a fix ?
"Next update that bridges ps4 and 4K and games"? Is she referring to a new ps4 pro system firmware with improved pro support for games? Maybe systemwide downsampling?
I just got a 1.51 patch for Syndicate. This is new right? Patch notes claim it improves 4k support on PS4 Pro.
I'm about to test on my 1080p connected Pro.
Ugh I waited weeks and then I binged the dlc which I was holding off on playing this week. Damn. I've still got side content, didn't touch the ww1 stuff.I just got a 1.51 patch for Syndicate. This is new right? Patch notes claim it improves 4k support on PS4 Pro.
