"Assassin's Creed Syndicate" developer Ubisoft recently announced that a new patch for the game's PC version will arrive this week.

Per the studio's online message board, the update consumes 510 MB hard disk space. Its key focus is on enhanced stability and performance via bug fixes and user interface improvements.

Once the new patch is installed, the infinite loading screen in "Sequence 7" will be a thing of the past, as well as the no rating for the final mission. There are also fixes to render online and missing geometry issues. Vehicles will spawn more accurately while collisions of trains and carriages will become more realistic.

The more combat-inclined gamer will be delighted to know that the update brings minor tweaks to improve fighting mechanics against NPCs. This includes better counter attacks and more responsive camera movement.
