Ubisoft has promised that it will be releasing an update to fix the many glitches that can be found in the latest game in its Assassin's Creed line, Assassin's Creed: Unity.
In a blog post, Ubisoft said that it has already released its Day 1 update for the game, which will be able to fix several issues. The update will automatically be downloaded by the console or PC where Assassin's Creed: Unity is being played, so gamers should make sure that their Internet connection is active and stable.
According to the developer, the first item on its list is fixing the bug that will prevent Arno, the protagonist of the video game, from falling right through the ground.
Other fixes that Ubisoft will look to implement in the first wave of updates will include stopping Arno from finding himself trapped within hay carts, preventing the game from crashing when players join co-op sessions and hastening the noticeable delay in accessing the main menu screen at the start of the game.
In addition to the aforementioned issues, Ubisoft said that it is also already looking into many of all the other problems that gamers have told the developer of Assassin's Creed: Unity, with several more updates to fix the issues on their way.
Just some of the problems that have been reported include issues with the game's frame rate, problems with the game's graphics and collision engine, bugs in matchmaking co-op games and flaws concerning Helix Credits.
Ubisoft promised that it will be providing gamers with more details on the updates in the upcoming days. In the meantime, the company is encouraging gamers to continue sending in feedback regarding problems in the game, as well as to check back in the Ubisoft blog for new information regarding the planned Assassin's Creed: Unity updates.
The Tuesday launch of the much-anticipated Assassin's Creed: Unity was marred by a massive list of bugs that has caused gamers to flood the forums, product pages and social media accounts of Ubisoft with complaints.
Some of the strangest glitches include disappearing faces for characters that leaving behind only the eyeballs, gums, teeth and hair, awkward floating, running in place, and odd bodily contortions.
The flaw-filled launch of Assassin's Creed: Unity is unfortunate for Ubisoft, as it joins the concerning trend of game publishers releasing games despite not yet being ready. EA's Sim City and Battlefield 4 are other examples, along with the recently released Halo: Master Chief Collection of Microsoft that has several bugs.
