Issues unresolved

Borderless Windowed results in squashed game window

Some users have reported that using Borderless Windowed as of Patch 4 results in a squashed game window with the majority of the screen being taken up by black bars on either side of the screen.[citation needed]

Issues fixed

Performance loss with in-game Anti-aliasing and Vsync enabled

This is caused by bad implementation.
Instructions

Poor frame rate

Ubisoft suggests disconnecting from the internet may boost frame rates for single player mode.[7]
When playing at 4K resolution, you can receive a massive boost in performance by setting your desktop resolution to 1920x1080 prior to launching the game in 4K. Assassin's Creed Unity requires as much VRAM as possible, especially at 4K. Reducing desktop resolution to 1920x1080 frees up over 400 MB of VRAM. What seems like a minor trick can double the game's performance at 4K on 2x GTX 980s from 20-25 FPS to 40-50 FPS.
In Nvidia GPU's, you can alter these settings in the Nvidia Control Panel, and hopefully the frame rate will improve drastically.

Go to manage 3D settings then click on the "Program settings tab" and select Assassin's Creed Unity it should be labeled as ACU.exe and change the settings in the "specify the settings for this program" box to the following options: Anisotropic filtering: 4x, Anti Aliasing mode: Override any application setting, Anti Aliasing setting : You could choose either between 2x or 4x depending on your hardware fidelity, Anti Aliasing- Transparency: Multisample, Texture Filtering - Anisotropic sample optimization: off, Texture filtering - Negative LOD bias: Clamp, Texture filtering - Trilinear optimization: On, Threaded optimization: On, Vertical sync: Adaptive. When you run the game make sure Anti-Aliasing is set as: Fxaa or off (depending on your hardware capability) and also make sure to turn off in-game v-sync.
