- Assassin’s Creed 3 CTD (Crashes to Desktop) on Steam and Windows while launching. If you are facing lag or freezing issues with AC3 or getting poor/low FPS, then just go through the following troubleshoot steps. I dont know whether they can fix it with any patch as they would have to optimize it by lowering details.
- For the remastered version, see Assassin's Creed III Remastered. Patch 1.06 is the latest version; use the manual download link if the Uplay client does not install it automatically. ↑ 'How to fix fps drops in Boston Level in Assassin Crred 3?' :: TomsHardware Answers.

Key points
For Assassin's Creed III: Liberation on the PlayStation Vita, a GameFAQs message board topic titled 'The patch really helped.' How would a 15 mb patch fix low sound sampling quality anyway. It's not a glitch. It's a means to save space. I'm waiting for this game but this is really bugging me. I have HK version but my account is another.
- Many users report poor performance in the Boston area regardless of video settings, particularly for AMD GPUs.[1][2]
