Now with a Plugin Loader.

Features:

• Enter windows by pressing R like in Assassin's Creed Syndicate (when climbing walls)
• More reliable "Breakfall" (Hold ParkourDown/Interact (E) to Catch Ledge when in uncontrolled freefall)
• Can drop bombs and perform Quickshot in more situations (while hanging on a wall, during a jump etc.)
• No more imaginary bomb throws
• Wider FOV when aiming bombs and the Guillotine Gun, zoom can be adjusted by pressing Right Mouse Button
• Select Bombs Equipment Type by scrolling the Mouse Wheel
• Arno is not forced to pull out the melee weapon while Disguise is active
• Autowalk and Slow Walk
• Less "sticky" Take Cover/Leave Cover
• Easier turn on horizontal swings
• Can aim bombs while sitting on perches
• Slightly more responsive Crouch button
• Unequip Pistol in the Pistols menu
• FOV slider (in the "Personal requests" section of the mod menu)
• Some other minor things

Some cheats:

• Weather Controls
• Use the Head of Saint Denis outside missions (Thanks Jinouga on YouTube for the idea https://www.youtube.com/@jinouga-assassinscreedmodd3155)
• Unbreakable Disguise

Requirements

Assassin's Creed Unity 1.5.0.

How to use

To install:
Place the files directly into the "Assassin's Creed Unity" folder (where the "ACU.exe" file is).
Game's folder structure will look like this:

    Assassin's Creed Unity/
    ├── ACUFixes/
    │   ├── plugins/
    │   │   ├── NewAnimations/
    │   │   └── ACUFixes.dll
    │   └── ACUFixes-PluginLoader.dll
    ├── ACU.exe
    └── version.dll

Start the game, press Insert to open the menu.

To uninstall:

1. Go to the game's folder.
2. Delete the version.dll. The mod will not be loaded automatically anymore.
3. Delete the ACUFixes/ folder.

For plugin developers: the Plugin Loader

The ACUFixes-PluginLoader.dll can load DLL plugins from the Assassin's Creed Unity/ACUFixes/plugins folder.
If you want to develop code-patching mods for AC Unity, consider building them as a plugin. You get:

• Automatic injection when the game's window opens.
• An ImGui graphical interface immediately compatible with ReShade (and other plugins).
• An in-game ImGui Console for logging (toggled by hotkey, default is "Keyboard OEM3"/"Tilde" (~)/"Backtick" (`))
• A small CrashLog, which helps during development because this kind of modding does entail crashes, and ACU likes to make them silent.
• A small C++ library containing some reverse engineered classes for AC Unity (the "ACU-RE" project in the source code).
• You can use the ACUFixes-PluginLoader.dll without the ACUFixes.dll plugin, if you want to.
• The Plugin Loader will disable the Main Integrity Check for you.
• The Plugin Loader allows you to attach the Visual Studio debugger (after the game's window is opened, at least).

Example plugins: Asset Overrides (source code), Halzoid98CPP (source code) and the ACUFixes.dll plugin itself.
