Assassin's Creed Unity Patch and Workarounds

Ubisoft announces that Patch #2 for the PC edition of Assassin's Creed Unity is now available, warning that though this fixes many bugs, this does not address performance issues, and that "most framerate issues that have been reported since the release of the game" remain. On a related note, a new post to the Assassin's Creed forums follows up on launch woes for Assassin's Creed Unity. Ubisoft outlines all identified issues with the stealth/action sequel, what's being done to fix them, and what players can do in the meantime to work around the problems they encounter. There is a list of bugs that apply to all platforms, and the PC specific section discusses the status of the Windows edition as of the new patch:

Team Fortress 2 Workshop Redesigned

The Team Fortress blog announces details on a new upgrade to the Team Fortress 2 workshop, which should make it easier to find the right hat for you in the teamplay shooter. Here's word:

The TF2 Workshop now has a voting queue! The upgraded queue should make it a lot easier for you to discover new and interesting items to vote on, and will help us get a broader sense of which items you most want to see in-game.

The TF2 Workshop home page has also gotten a redesign. It should now be much easier to browse through new items created by authors you follow, see what your friends are marking as favorites, and read about recent Workshop news from the TF2 team. Workshop authors: Be sure to mark your sets as "sets" in the "edit collection" page, since this will change how your items are now showcased!

One last reminder: Don't forget to vote on Tomb Raider items, now available in a handy new landing page thanks to the redesign.

Out of the Blue

Have a lot of outdoor work to do today, and it's pretty darned cold for that, but hopefully activity will help me stay warm. A lot of this will involve leaf clearing, so it is good to have waited long enough for most of them to be off the trees, so considering the snow has held off up until now, I'm just going to call this perfect timing.
