Assassin's Creed Unity Patch 2 Now Live on Xbox One

A second Assassin's Creed Unity patch is now live on Xbox One, publisher Ubisoft has announced, applying more fixes to the game's bugs and glitches.

Patch 2 addresses some major and critical errors, including the game's protagonist Arno falling through the earth and remaining trapped inside carts of hay. The update has been also been available on PlayStation 4 and PC since Friday.

The main fixes are listed below:

• Arno falling through the ground.
• Game crashing when joining a co-op session.
• Arno getting caught inside of hay carts.
• Occasional long delay seen reaching the main screen at game start. (Xbox One only)

Since its launch on Tuesday, November 11, numerous problems have been found in Ubisoft's flagship action title. The publisher responded to a groundswell of complaints by insisting that it is working "furiously" to fix the errors.

A third major patch is currently being built, and is said will be larger in scope, and aims to address a number of bugs in the areas players said they've had the most problems with.

Here's some of what to expect from patch 3:

• Gameplay: this includes bugs like Arno getting stuck on certain areas of the map, problems with getting into/out of cover, character animation bugs, and general camera problems.
• AI & Crowd: in this category are problems with NPC animations, crowd events, and crowd stations, NPC navigation issues, as well as bugs related to NPCs detecting Arno’s activities in various situations.
• Matchmaking & Connectivity: this covers a number of issues related to co-op play, including bugs with joining games in-progress and problems that happen during host migration.
• Menus & HUD: fixes in this category will address missing details in certain menus, problems with some of the mission objective and co-op update pop-ups, localization inconsistencies, as well as some of the issues with menus and pop-ups overlapping each other.
• General Stability: this includes fixes for a number of crash situations we've identified in both campaign and co-op modes.

Assassin's Creed Unity's troubled launch last week has prompted a rethink on Ubisoft's behalf concerning how it works with game critics and the gaming community at large.
