Assassin's Creed Valhalla Patch 1.004 Out Now on PS5, PS4, Features Huge List of Improvements - Push Square

Update: Assassin's Creed Valhalla update 1.004 is available to download now on PS5 and PS4.

It's around 2.6GB in size.

Original Story: As promised by Ubisoft, Assassin's Creed Valhalla's next big update is arriving tomorrow — that's the 26th November, in case you're reading this at a later date.

Update 1.0.4 promises a huge number of improvements to just about everything.

You'll be able to choose between Performance (60 frames-per-second at dynamic 4K — what the game's been running at since launch) and Quality (30 frames-per-second at maximum resolution).

Added an option to the game that allows players to choose between Performance or Visual Quality.

We'll update this article once the patch is available to download, but until then, let us know if you're still exploring medieval England in the comments section below.

So basically they released the game before it was fully ready to meet the launch line up.

Was about to start the game when this popped up on ResetEra.

I'll go back to playing Borderlands 3 on the PS5 with that 4K 60fps goodness and get into this tomorrow after work.

Have to restart from last save every time.

Would like to just have one streamlined alternate option similar to older AC games where the face buttons can be used for combat and not have to search through reddit to see what others did.

I have no issues with the fps so am I playing it with quality mode at the moment and this update will keep the fps but up the resolution.

Or am I currently playing in 30fps and this will give me a 60fps option.

I still have a lot left to do in the game and will see if the quality mode is a jump big enough to justify not playing smooth 60fps on a 4K screen.

I don't see myself playing at 30fps but I'll have a look out of curiosity and on my experience the 60fps was pretty solid, so if they have refined that and eliminated the tearing (particularly in cutscenes) then I'll be happy.

Is there honestly any merit in buying a game on release nowadays.

Wait a few weeks, get the game cheaper and stable/how it was intended.

Given how buggy Valhalla was at launch (especially on PS4) I think it's fair to assume that a lot of the stuff in this update was meant to ship with the game.

Cheer's ShogunRok I have still yet to set sail having so much fun in the snow....this update seems to of ironed out the issues next stop Medieval England.

@StonyKL The game currently uses dynamic resolution and sticks to 60fps!

I think it's hilious that the game has stealing mechanics now, but murder is off limits for a brutal viking still.

The performance mode with its 60fps is my go to mode.

You are correct that patches do come out after a games initial release but look at the scale and size of this update and all the issues it fixed.

Tell me why Ubisoft did not just be patient for 1 week or 2 to get it right the first time.

The reviews would have been better the first time around.

Thank god,hopefully the poor main character textures will be replaced with the inventory one in 4k 30fps, l,which is of much higher quality.

@smbeats either people bitch about bugs or bitch about waiting for a game to come out?

im fine with bugs UNLESS they are something that completey ruins the game?

Just like you did.

No one has to agree with me nor did I say I was right or wrong however there are game companies out there not saying any names that delay their games based on these reasons and when we wait it’s so worth it and the final product is great.

And this is something that has been happening way to often this past generation and it seems like it’s something we have to accept as the new normal now?

Only reason I made the comment was the sheer size of the update and fixes.

I think the only major thing left out of the update is better communication between players and Ubisoft support for if there are any more bugs that need sorting.

That's a quite meaty update 😃.

@Uromastryx I really hope ubisoft give ac odyssey 60 fps update too since I want to play it smoothly on ps5?

Personally I don’t care as I’ll buy it when it’s practically all done and patched up like I did with Drive Club but I feel sorry for kids or indeed anyone else who were dying to buy this as soon as it came out and it’s just a bit of a broken mess

@Alpine021 it's clearly not a broken mess which is why it's getting such good reviews

Alot of these bugs it's fixing are quality of life bugs

Also had another thing happen and not sure if its a bug or part of the game, but had things like trees glitching into weird coloured images, like the way the characters glitch in Spiderman into the spiderverse

I've started sliding infinitely in place and had to do a special move to leap out of that state, like someone mentioned above

Though it's fine with the dice game since it's turn-based

The game is alot better on ps5 than ps4 I encountered numerous visual bugs, bad pop in tearing, stuttering

But looks like there fixing that

Valhalla will be one of the best after its patched, thats not to say it should have released in its current state

Do they have like 1 or 2 testers

Kinda liked my character flying in the sky and then dying after trying to walk downstairs after getting off the horse 😂😂, apart from that and the hassle of keeping the game installed on the ps5 due to installing and updating the last patch at the same time (which was a simple fix by installing offline then updating later), I like it and can't wait to check out the update

Not like it really matters

Stupid, as they have the capability to send teams round to help with the coding, like MS did when the Xbone X released, but choose not to

Haven't bought the game yet, looking forward to getting it as soon as it's stable enough

Just tried the update and it defaults to quality mode for me

Just warning that you guys should check the settings if you want to go back to 60fps mode

Not able to download the update on my PS5

Shouldn't be an issue since I installed the game via disc

Now I guess I have to delete it and re-install it just to get the update

This will only be roughly the 6th time I've had to install the game because of the glitch that is now fixed on the PS5 where it disappeared after installed if you hit Copy and didn't let the disc install itself

The Shareholders are the customers, and releasing the game on time pleases the costomers - shareholders...

been over a week now they just ignore everyone on Twitter would be greatly appreciated if possible

We can try chasing it again, but hopefully it's just being fixed behind the scenes

@helbertpina I've hardly noticed any difference between the two modes excepts for 60fps,I suppose the quality mode is slighter cleaner but only if you look closely,I was expecting more to be honest and the npcs are still the dumbest I've ever encountered in a game for a while

60fps for me, tried quality mode but 30fps is rather jarring and off putting

Yeah I did the same tried quality mode looked a bit cleaner but at 30 fps after spending a week with 60 its almost like your lagging bit smushy on the eyes
