I'm glad I skipped this game lol. Fuck Ubisoft and their trash ass games. 😂 How the hell do you patch a game to run worse?

Witcher 3 had a similar issue and people all consider that one of the greatest games of all times. With a game of this size optimizing for 9 platforms, things are bound to be messed up.
Ehhh, seems a bit harsh for a good game. It was still great on XSX even with the screen tearing
Honestly, it must be difficult to launch an open world game as big as this on 9 platforms during a pandemic with three of the platforms being completely new. None of us can pretend to know how difficult this is.
I think your being a bit overdramatic. The still has screen tearing sure but it still runs fine. People are acting like its completely unplayable.
Just maybe, it seems! Yeah, the last week or so of threads on minuscule differences was all so over the top.
Hahaha... You all need to learn to talk with your wallets. that's the only voice these companies will listen to.
I am proud to say, I have not bought a Ubisoft or EA game since 2012. I really can't believe how after all the stupid dumb shit some of these companies do people still go out and buy their games.
Like seriously, who makes a patch that ends up making a game run worse than it was before the patch? Ubisoft... and don't get me started on EA, those fuckers would make the options menu be part of a loot box if given the chance.

The responses in this thread are pretty damn callous, Assassin's Creed has been 30fps on consoles since the first game and now you're all too good to play the 30 fps mode for a bit if the performance mode isn't to your liking while the developers crunch to continue bug fixing this game during the holiday season with a pandemic going on. wtf is wrong with some of you.
Not only that but Ubisoft has released buggy games in the past even without a pandemic. Which I can still understand, of course. But it's definitely a Ubisoft thing.
Yeah a lot of games got pushed back to next year because of pandemic. There's no need to release a half-assed game just to make the holiday deadline. I thought they learned this after Unity.
Right when I was considering the game for the PS5 but not anymore.
This is bs. Doesn't make any sense despite any devs' situation.

I'm playing it on my Series S. Amazing! There's some screen tearing and some animations run at 30fps for some reason, but it looks fine, fine indeed! Smooth as walking in a floor full of butter!
People are probably overreacting about the PS5 situation. I'm sure it's fine most of the time. Remember: the game released on 9+ platforms!

It's something that can and does easily happen in video game development. Calm down.
They can fix it next update. It's not the end of the world.
Nice drive-by but this isn't as simple as you're willing to believe.
Some of y'all are so damn embarrassing, "omfg they made the game worse on my platform I'm definitely not buying now " lmfao get over yourselves.
They're working through a pandemic with hundreds and hundreds of devs to manage one of the biggest games of the year both in terms of brand and gameplay across 9 platforms at multiple performance targets and boo fuckin hoo they accidentally made a mistake on one platform and introduced a performance bug.
Y'all act like it's making consoles explode, it's not the last patch you're going to see anyway and besides its just a few dips to frame rate.
You probably weren't going to buy this game anyway but tbh it doesn't freaking matter either way because you're a single nobody in a sea of millions of sales. Get over yourselves.

Their shareholders did. This stuff is complex and costs money and they have to ship at some point to pay people, secure bonuses, etc.
While that's a reason for why they did so, it doesn't change the fact that a. none of us care about the shareholders of Ubisoft unless we own their stock and b. more importantly it's resulted in a mediocre technical experience. We shouldn't defend decisions just because they're a public company.
Just updated on PC and played for about 30 min and had three crashes. I was at about 35 hours in before the update and only had two or three crashes. Seems like the update isn't playing well with my system. On the plus side, thd cloak is now useful.
Can someone thread mark how it runs worse on PS5, and is this based on actual proper testing or just anecdotal? I swapped my Series X copy for the PS5, so if the PS5 version now runs worse I'm honestly just going to return the game and get a refund, because I'm done with dealing with this Ubi nonsense.
You try optimising and testing 8 versions of the same game during a pandemic whilst the whole team is working remotely from home.
Man some of the posts in this topic are completely embarrassing.
Why release the patch when it wasn't ready? Stop defending corporations as if you owe them to br playing games you bought.
Drops to 40fps on PS5 now and drops to 30fps on Series X? What the flip. If I just don't update the version of the game that came on the PS5 disk, can I avoid this new performance impacting patch?
Edit: See he's refering to quality mode.

What a shame! Hope they fix it soon enough.
But, boy, I'm glad I no longer get Ubisoft games at launch!

This patch definitely made it run worse on PS5. Noticed immediately once I loaded it up. It was running great before...so frustrating.
I don't think it drops to 30 fps on Series X, I think he means that if you don't want screen tearing you have to run quality mode which is 30 fps.
Are you for real? Lol
That's not what he said.
He said going to the quality mode completely eliminates screen tearing. As it is, it is reduced significantly but still there.
The Series X version is in a better place. I would say PS5 has the biggest nerf. It's pretty inexplicable.

Ok, but at the minimum you QA test your new patch and simply don't release it for the PS5 if it makes it run worse. It's not difficult. Any site can run a frame rate analysis in a matter of minutes, so why can't Ubisoft?
Honestly this excuse doesn't cut it, because Ubisoft don't have to release a patch for every system, especially when one version was already running fine.
