Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed: Unity has been under a lot of flak regarding its performance on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC, something that’s seemingly become a constant bombardment since the game launched in North America on Tuesday, November 11.
Concerning PC specifically, Ubisoft believes that users with certain AMD CPU and GPU configurations may be suffering Assassin’s Creed: Unity’s various issues more so than others. The developer feels it shouldn’t affect the “ vast majority ” of PC users, but Ubisoft is nonetheless in talks with AMD to work out a way to solve the issue for those affected. Ubisoft has promised that’ll provide follow-up information as soon as it becomes available.
“ We are aware that the graphics performance of Assassin’s Creed Unity on PC may be adversely affected by certain AMD CPU and GPU configurations, ” Ubisoft’s community manager said on the developer’s official forums. “ This should not affect the vast majority of PC players, but rest assured that AMD and Ubisoft are continuing to work together closely to resolve the issue, and will provide more information as soon as it is available. ”
Multiple players with different gaming PC configurations–Nvidia and AMD respectively–are reportedly having trouble with Assassin’s Creed: Unity , according to the game’s official Steam community. Not all PC users are having issues, though, but some players are unfortunately not having a good experience with the game in regards to performance.
It’s not just the PC version of the game that’s experiencing problems, either; Xbox One and PlayStation 4 users are also reporting similar issues: low frame rate, texture pop-ins and a variety of other performance problems. It’s a general consensus that Assassin’s Creed: Unity has been poorly optimized for each of its launch platforms.
However, in response to Assassin’s Creed: Unity’s backlash, Ubisoft will be adapting its approach on how the studio works with reviewers, as well as also offering consumers early access to some games. The game is now available on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4, but it’s advised that potential buyers of Assassin’s Creed: Unity should hold off from getting the game until its bugs and issues have been fixed.
