Ubisoft offers compensation for launch AC: Unity

The launch of AC: Unity wasn't without its problems. To make it up, Ubisoft will hand out compensations. They have also issued an apology.

 

Ubisoft offers compensation for AC U launch.

 

AC: Unity owners will get the Dead Kings DLC for free.

 

Season Pass Owners / Gold Edition owners (who get that DLC anyway) will get free game, one of these: The Crew, Far Cry 4, Assassin's Creed: Black Flag, Rayman Legends or Just Dance (PS4 and Xbox One only)

 


 

 

Edit: The Season Pass is taken down, so no one would buy the season pass for a 'cheap' new game ^^

Ubisoft CEO apologizes for the 'inconvenience' the bug filled launch of Unity have caused:

 

 

Yannis Mallat, CEO, Ubisoft Montreal & Toronto

The launch of Assassin’s Creed Unity was a highly-anticipated moment for me and for our development teams around the world who dedicated a tremendous amount of energy, passion and skill to the game’s creation. For us, it was the culmination of years of work on new technologies, the development of multiple innovations -- including an all-new game engine -- and an evolution of the Assassin’s Creed franchise’s core pillars. More importantly, we know that it was a highly-anticipated moment for many of you as well, as you looked forward to taking part in the first truly next generation Assassin’s Creed game.

still not sure how I feel as the performance still doesn't reasonably match the visual quality of the game. for example Crysis 3 is hard to run but the graphical quality matches the performance.

So they are putting 1 shovel full of dirt back in the 10 mile hole they dug?

They actually figured out the reason for the performance issues, it is related to overloading the DX 11 instruction queue. DX 11 supports 10,000 instructions at a certain time, while ubisoft was overflowing it with 50,000. Whether they will fix it, that is another question.

What, Ubisoft did something good? 

All joking aside, Well Done Ubisoft. You are trying to make amends but to be quite frank, it will take a lot more than that to cover the amount of digging you have been doing recently, but hey, it's a start, at least. :)

All I'm asking is proper PC titles...nothing more.

I would not want free half-assed ports even if I did buy AC:U with season pass...

Good attempt for Ubisoft; but they didn't get to the root of the problem.

Anyone who has a sister hates the fact that his sister isn't Kasugano Sora.
Anyone who does not have a sister hates the fact that Kasugano Sora isn't his sister.
I'm not insulting anyone; I'm just being condescending. There is a difference, you see...

Still don't care, still boycotting them until they apologize to everyone in the industry for their made up excuses and half truths.

Good on Ubisoft for trying to make up for this. Hopefully this is the beginning of a change of heart for them.

I edited my post.

I also read through the FAQ just now and I didn't see any platform specific mentions for that tier, so I think PC is included in that.

What are you talking about? All PC gamers are pirates, haven't you been listening to these people?

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

Zzzzz get a sense of humor

 

Edit: And you'd have to be very easy going (or lacking in previous Ubisoft experiences) to call a paltry compensation like that atonement.

It was funny for the first couple of weeks with the Ubisoft bashing, now it's getting out of hand and the lot of you are shitting on Ubisoft for everything that comes out of their mouths.

Now Ubisoft is trying to make up for it, just like EA did yet you're bringing this shit up? Lol

check out the link in my sig. they had no reason to do 50k drawcalls, it was either a very lazy development process, or the decision came from somewhere up top
