Patched released. 6.5 GB downloading on PS4.
6.5gb big. Christ.
Update on XBO Patch 4:chadskin said:Xbox One Patch 4 is reportedly 40 GB large.
Patch Notes:We have received and confirmed reports that some Xbox One players who have previously applied Patch 3 are seeing a 40GB download instead of the expected 6.7GB download. Unfortunately, an issue with the patch downloading process is replacing the entire game instead of just the parts affected by the patch. This is obviously not the expected behavior, and we apologize that many of you will have to wait longer than expected to complete this download. This issue isn’t causing any other problems and once the download is completed players will have the most-up-to-date and fully patched version of Assassin’s Creed Unity.
We are working with Microsoft on a solution to reduce the total download to the intended size so that you can get back into the game faster, but as of now we have no ETA on when this will be resolved.
Currently there is one known workaround: Owners of the disc version of the game can uninstall the game and reinstall it. On starting the game, the patch process will start with the correct download size.
As part of our ongoing efforts to provide the best experience for our players, we will be releasing Patch 4 for Assassin’s Creed Unity today. This patch is mainly focused on alleviating performance issues and improving the overall experience.
Part of the team’s effort to enhance frame rate for players involves replacing and updating portions of the Paris city map where we are seeing issues. This explains the large size of this title update (6.7 GB). However, since a large portion of the patch replaces existing files the net increase to the game’s overall size will be less than 6.7 GB.
Patch 4 delivers a variety fixes including:
- Performance & Stability: Frame rate drops, game crashes, lost progression
- Gameplay: Navigation, lock picking chests
- Online: Connectivity, matchmaking, companion app

Impressions:
First gameplay of mine with the patch installed.

Crowds after patch.

This isn't the biggest crowd though. Game definitely feels smoother.
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...)
There still frame drops in the entrace of Notre Dame with all of those NPCs, but way less than before.
Overall it seems to improve the framerate in all cases but dont expect steady framerate everywhere.
Initial impression is a lot smoother. But I'm in a mission and can't Freerooam. ATM.
Ok guys, it's A LOT smoother, framerate has definitely been improved. I'm pretty sure it's 30 fps (or very close).
But I don't know if the visuals have been scale down.
Frame rate is good (way better than before... for now). My wife hasn't seen any frame rate problems (she is the one playing).
Okay, just replayed Sequence 2and the frame rate is way more stable. Still feels like it drops sub-30 now and again but nowhere near as bad as it was.Arno in prison
Good patch. Seems like it's good to play now.

The framerate dropped heavily here pre-patch and it still does post-patch. You can't really notice it in the video though, I don't think. Either way, still feels 20-25ish fps.
The difference is substantial. Movement feels way more smooth, panning the camera around goes way faster.
Looking forward to the DF review, but so far it looks like a good patch. Not sure what they tweaked, didn't notice any apparant downgrading.
Yes, definitely smoother. Some areas surprisingly good on performance eg.where probably the most NPCs in the game are at one time, performs better than when outisde the Palais and Notre Dame, where it shows the least gains. Unfortunately, the weird pop-in at ridiculous short distances hasn't really been changed, you still get the random clothing changes etc.'The Execution'
No obvious downgrades to my eye, so will be interesting to see some comparisons later.
If you have played past AC games on PS3, it probably performs better than those games now. Just don't expect locked 30. Let's just say running around the city, it has been improved from the 20-25 bracket to 25-30.
