Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced Upcoming Update Fixes Outlined, Known Issues Listed
While Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is a single-player affair, that doesn’t mean it can’t do without some post-release TLC (tender loving care).
Ubisoft has acknowledged the issues the game is suffering from, and has also outlined some of the confirmed fixes dropping as part of the game’s first post-release patch.
Note that some of the issues are being investigated, but don’t expect all of these to be fixed in just one update.
AC Black Flag Resynced First Update Confirmed Fixes
INCOMING FIXES:
- Cutscenes are locked to 30 FPS on PC when using Raytracing, BVH or Terrain Quality at Ultra High setting.
- Temporary workaround: Reset graphics Overall Preset to any pre-configured setting and avoid manually setting the 3 options mentioned above to Ultra High.
- A dubbing issue is currently affecting the alignment between some voiceover playback and cutscene visuals in localized versions of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced.
OPEN / IN PROGRESS :
GENERAL :
- The Double Assassination prompt may not appear on guards near the first power keg during the “Mark the Kings at the Camp” objective, potentially compromising stealth combat.
- Player might be unable to dodge the fatal Humpback Whale’s tail slap during “Harpooning”.
- Player does not go back into aiming if they’re hit by an enemy while aiming with “Rope Dart” and “Smoke Bomb”.
- Player is unable to fast travel out of Principe
- Player can get stuck in desynchronization screen if they open and close the save menu quickly.
- Upgrading the Jackdaw while it is docked may cause it to disappear, leaving Player to continue the quest without it.
- Player can get stuck in the bow of the ship in Rift if they climb there.
- After killing an enemy, a single body dropping may sound like there are multiple bodies dropping instead.
- Player is unable to loot ammo from the crate in the tower of “Matanzas” despite being highlighted.
- During the El Tiburon battle, we understand that it can be a little unclear on how to defeat him. You will not be able to break his defence with simple melee attacks or by quick firing the pistol. You will have to use manual aim on the pistol.
- We realize that there is no tutorial on throwing money. Throwing money is a way to distract guards and draw civilians to Edward, creating chaos. To throw money hold D Pad Down.
QUESTS :
- Player can be stuck on a branch if they stray off the desired path in the quest “The One with the Gun” – show Lucy around the village.
- Player is stuck inside the Diving Bell if they desynchronize and respawn during the quest “Devil’s Eye Caverns”.
AI / NPC :
- Enemies are able to detect an out-of-range rope dart, compromising stealth combat.
While Ubisoft hasn’t mentioned when this patch will drop, we’re expecting the game’s first update to be released this coming week.
