AC Unity had a tough launch with performance issues which apparently (haven't played it myself) disturbed the gaming experience significantly. I've heard about patches released fixing this issues and I wondered what's the current state of this right now.

I want to play AC Unity sooner or later, so I wonder if this problems are already gone or are going to be fixed until christmas (could be my GF's gift for me).

What are your experiences with it so far? What do you know about Ubi's further plans?

They have never been anywhere near as bad as the "anti-hype"

The game has been perfectly playable since I started (UK launch was a few days after America)

Frame rate wise it isn't great, but it's definitely playable, just not ideal.
