Ubsisoft is working “furiously” to fix the various bugs and other issues that have affected all versions of Assassin’s Creed Unity since its release on Tuesday, the developer writes in its forums.
“Our team is furiously working to resolve bugs and performance issues for Assassin’s Creed Unity on all platforms,” a Ubisoft community manager wrote. The developer also clarified that issues with the PC version of Unity are not AMD-specific, as was previously suspected.
This is not right
“We apologize for any confusion and want to be clear that we are working with all of our hardware partners to address known issues that exist across various PC configurations,” the Ubisoft manager said. “We care deeply about a smooth and enjoyable Assassin’s Creed experience and we will continue to update customers as these issues are fixed.”
The Assassin’s Creed Unity bugs were so significant that Ubisoft even launched a live updates blog where it provides up-to-the-minute reports about the status of the game.
Earlier today, Ubisoft released patches for the PC and PlayStation 4 versions of Assassin’s Creed Unity, fixing things such as main character Arno falling through the ground and game crashes. Ubisoft notes, however, that players may still experience framerate issues and other performance problems.
You can see a full, platform-by-platform breakdown of Assassin’s Creed Unity known issues and, where available, temporary workarounds, here on Ubisoft’s forums.
Assassin’s Creed Unity’s troubled launch this week has prompted a rethink on Ubisoft’s behalf concerning how it works with game critics and the gaming community at large.
Final Stand, the appropriately titled final expansion for 2013’s Battlefield 4, will be released on November 18, Electronic Arts announced today on its blog.
The Final Stand DLC features four arctic-themed maps and new, futuristic weapons. Battlefield 4 Premium members will get the content first, before it’s released publicly on December 2.
Final Stand delivers four maps (Operation Whiteout, Hammerhead, Hangar 21, and Giants of Karelia), all of which take place in wintry environments. Another focus of Final Stand is its near-future weapons and gadgets such as a DS-3 DECOY gun attachment that emits false blips on enemies’ mini-maps and the XD-1 Accipiter, a remote-controlled, LMG-equipped drone.
For more on Final Stand, check out the image gallery below. GameSpot recently caught up with DICE LA–the team behind Final Stand–for an in-depth interview about the state of Battlefield 4.

Saying a game isn’t actually a “game” has become the quick and easy way to deride games we don’t like or understand. It’s easy to boil down the key concepts of a game and make them sound bad.
