Well playing offline didn't seem to change anything. Shame, was really hoping it was something concrete and simple like that and not an issue with the engine just being poo poo. For me anyway, low to high graphics only reduces maybe 5fps, so yeah, I don't know.

Search for clan tag LLJK on PS4 and we'll coop or whatever you can do with uPlay being down constantly.

Just noticed the companion app is available on the Windows Store so you can run it on PC without jamming up your phone or whatever. You need Windows 8/10.

Also, why are people ragging on the free run? I've heard stuff like, I just keep running up things when I don't want to. What are your fingers doing? Are you pressing RT and A? That causes you to run up. Try not pressing A. RT + B lets you run and seamlessly jump down onto objects instead of awkwardly hanging from a ledge and dropping straight down. There is a bit of a learning curve with the controls but once you get the hang of it, running around the city is so much more fun than the previous games. I highly recommend using a controller for this game. You will thank me later.
How do you control the camera while pressing RT and A/B? Having to rely on the default chase-cam is a big part of why I can't play AC games with a controller.

The guy's named is Robe Spear.

If he isn't an Assassin with a really unwieldy signature style that's a missed opportunity.

Just went to download the latest AMD beta drivers, and this was in known issues:
Occasional stuttering in Assassin's Creed® Unity in CrossFire mode under specific game settings

Think someone should tell them it isn't their drivers for once? :v:

Faaaaaaart.

http://www.pcgamer.com/ubisoft-acknowledges-assassins-creed-unity-problems-on-amd-hardware/

But AMD owners seem to be the ones who are suffering the most.
"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 Community Manager Justin Kruger wrote in an Assassin's Creed forum post. "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."

Are they still always super-late with their game-specific driver revisions? That's was one of the reasons I switched out to Nvidia a while back. Say what you will about the quality of AMD or Nvidias drivers, but at least Nvidia has their driver revisions for big games out on or before the games release date. Back when I was using AMD parts, they'd get theirs out a month after the game released.

Since NVIDIA THE WAY ITS MEANT TO BE PLAYED basically means AMD never actually gets developed on, they pretty much play catch-up with every release that comes out.

If the random 5 diamond dudes you find on the street are any indication, they just get more health.

It's pretty funny to jump from the starting weapon to an upgraded 5-diamond sword. Most combat is over in seconds. (Turns out you can do all the passive money improving missions, including the 5-diamond one at the end in starting gear, assassinates are always instant kills)

Where'd you find that guy anyway? I'm curious to give it a shot.

AMD APUs, but that doesn't mean the developer is talking to AMD about the PC version for driver-specific optimisations.

That is a display bug. For instance 3/5 times I look at the membership list I see only SgtWheelmans.

Yeah, newly bought Nvidia 980. It only seems to affect the game itself, as I could alt-tab out of the game fine. Also, it is a total freeze, where I can't do anything. I've seen someone else posting about a "freeze" where the game world stops, but they can still rotate the camera around, but this is different.

So I've reclaimed my pirate ship in Rogue, and can't really figure out the deal with Naval battles. At the beginning of the game, it seems like you can sink all the British ships you want, but the French are your allies. Then it switches around and it doesn't seem to switch ambient missions in naval combat. So during the whole fight where you need to stop your allies from being destroyed, you are actually supposed to sink British ships and a popup keeps saying "Do not shoot your allies".

Quite confusing. Maybe I'm just playing too far ahead in the game, but I don't remember seeing these missions when the French were my naval allies.
