How better is the framerate now?

Holy shit, does no-one at Ubisoft know how to a game? At least spend some money on programmers who are good at their job(ie. code to the metal). This is what happens when you found a company solely for the purpose of profit.
Not saying it hasn't happened (don't own the game) but I do wonder why the people who took the screen shots didn't try and take identical shots to give a better comparison. They look more like a direct capture on the PS4 being compared top a capture via a capture card to me.
Again, not saying it hasn't happened but they really aren't the best shots to use. It does get people clicking on their site though.

You shouldnt ask GAF users here.
Maybe DF does another update to their face off.

You can't be serious...
Whoa whoa, we've all seen downgradeatons from first reveal/E3 to release... but a post launch downgrade? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I can't wait till the next or the week after Jimquisition. ^_^
of course they did

Ubisoft are despicable. Instead of removing some of the brain-dead NPC's they go and do this. They really don't want to admit that they were wrong about having so many stupid npc's on screen. I really hope gamers don't have memories of a goldfish regarding this issue when Ubisoft rolls out their 2015 games, they're are making Acti and EA look like saints in comparison.

I wish they didn't stitch the screenshots to be side by side. Quickest way to tell is to blink back and forth between the images, pre and post patch... this makes it a pain.

That makes less sense, what does servers have to do with the single player? I'm out of the loop on whether this is an online game or not.

They had to do something to fix the performance. These next gen CPU are pathetic. It's a good move by Ubisoft though.

This is outrageous.
A company remotely decreasing the quality of a product after you've purchased it? In what looks like a brute-force 'turn some heavy shit off' attempt to rectify performance issues that should have been non-existent in the base game upon release in the first place?
This is some hilarious damage control. This is fucking dark comedy.
At least the infamous Dark Souls 2 lighting downgrades were made before its release.

Should have removed some npcs- no one would have cared and you'd get your stable fps.
If it's due to cpus then go for the npcs.

I don't know what to answer to such claim

So glad I beat this and traded it in. I was feeling some pangs of regret with the talk of a patch, but it seems it's less of a fix and more of a compromise.
If they changed the global lighting system for the whole game, it would have impacts basically everywhere. It would just be most noticeable in places like this.
Unless there's something else going on.
Bigger question is - has performance actually improved significantly? It was always questionable whether the game was actually unoptimized or simply trying to do too much.
There is no day and night cycle.
This isn't optimizing the code to make everything perform better...it's simply lowering the setting and passing that off as a patch. (though I assume the latest patch also includes proper bugfixes I hope?)
I don't believe the PS4 can't handle those graphics on screen, if I had to make a guess is that the engine wasn't really made for indoor-outdoor enviroments at the same time, or in limited amounts. And when you're inside, the outside is still rendered, and vica-versa. That would explain the poor performance inside.
by removing light effects in indoor enviroments they hope to reduce framedrops throughout the open world.

This game really is a dumpster fire at this point, isn't it?

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Wow.
Requires more pictures, especially during day-time and with wide views .. did they cut off the general draw distance ? reduce NPC count ? need academic evidence !

Are you for real?! You don't see the problem when a game's graphics gets downgraded after it's been released?

What...is happening? This has to be a glitch right? I won't react emotionally.

If that is true it looks a bit crap now. Won't buy a ubi game again if this is verified. I will wait for more confirmation though.

Can't deny they are tenacious, though.
This is a fantastic gif.
You can't completely blame it on next gen CPU's when the PC version is suffering to.
Ubisoft done Ubisoft.

Wow. That sure doesn't look like a bug to me. It seems like they removed a LOT of the light probes from the scene. Can anyone give screenshots on the outside? This would be very interesting.
I'm really staring to think that these consoles are just too weak for these next-gen games. Too many features are being pulled back. I saw the DF article on Lords of the Fallen last night and they pulled back a LOT compared to the PC version and STILL getting shitty framerates.

technically optimization is often of the turn things off variety and find something to mask the ugliness that results.
you can play at 60fps with a newer core i7 or an oc'd 2500k or 2600k when paired with a 680, a 780ti, or a 970. now, run it with amd cpus and gpus tou run into problems cause even amds desktop stuff still pales in comparison to intel or nvidias best or even mid range solutions.
