Ubisoft has confirmed a problem with the latest Assassin’s Creed Unity patch. Xbox One players that installed Patch 3 are being forced to re-download the full 40 GB game.
The update, which rolled out on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 yesterday was already a hefty 6.7 GB. “Unfortunately, an issue with the patch downloading process is replacing the entire game instead of just the parts affected by the patch,” Ubisoft says. “This is obviously not the expected behavior, and we apologize that many of you will have to wait longer than expected to complete this download.”
The publisher says it is working with Microsoft on a fix for the problem. “But as of now we have no ETA on when this will be resolved,” the company says.

The program is called Big Giant Swords, featuring Michael "Irish Mike" Craughwell and his sidekick AmeriMike. Irish Mike has already blown up on Youtube where he chronicles himself making life-sized replicas of weapons inspired by video games and 80's fantasy science fiction movies. He's shown people how to recreate weapons like Cloud's infamous Buster Sword and Kain's Flame Sword from Blood Omen.
The first episode of the show has him creating a weapon to rival Zeus' lightning bolt and a Chakram. That sounds right out of a video game...
