Ubisoft has released the Watch Dogs Legion update 1.21 July 7 patch (PS5 1.160), and this is just a day after the big 5.0 title update that brought in the Bloodline storyline. As one might expect, this is a small download, and is for fixes more than anything else.
Watch Dogs Legion Update 1.21 July 7 Patch Notes | Watch Dogs Legion Update 1.160 Patch Notes:
Update: Ubisoft has announced what’s included in today’s patch!
Resolved in Hotfix 5.1:
- Dark Pattern: Jackson sometimes stops following Aiden during a specific mission objective. A hotfix to resolve this will be released in the coming days.
- Bury Your Dead: Jackson wears a facemask for the duration of the mission.
Ubisoft has not released any official changelog for this title update just yet, and we’re expecting this to be addressed within the day, but with a tweet or something, and not an official list of changes since we just got the big patch yesterday.
This could very well be for the bug involving Season Pass owners getting a prompt to buy the add-on at full price when trying to download it. Once we know more, we’ll let our readers know.
Here are the known issues associated with title update 5.0 Bloodline (per Ubisoft):
- Stadia: The Achievement “Packrat” sometimes stops progressing.
- When using Aiden’s drone, the “Detect” notification only appears when the detection tracker is at 100%.
- Aiden’s drone might sometimes get stuck if bumping into walls when in the air.
- The Safe House icon can disappear at certain points in the Bloodline story campaign.
- Devon v Devin: London Culling: When playing through the mission the timer can sometimes get stuck. This does not affect the mission progression.
- PlayStation 4/5: Bloodline DLC still appears as available for purchase for secondary users on shared consoles, even if they have installed the DLC from the main user.
- Text overlap sometimes occur when profiling characters with longer descriptions.
- Acquisition Target: The wrong minimap layout will sometimes appear if reloading a save inside the Broca Tech Deep Labs.
Workaround: Dying and restarting will reset the minimap.- Red King:
Spoiler: Show- Spanner in the Works:
Spoiler: Show- Dark Pattern: Players cannot progress in the mission if they also have the side-mission Human Cargo active when entering Rempart Headquarters.
Workaround: Restart the game.- Dark Pattern: Jackson sometimes stops following Aiden during a specific mission objective. A hotfix to resolve this will be released in the coming days.
- Bury Your Dead: Jackson wears a facemask for the duration of the mission.
Workaround: Save the game, quit to the main menu, and load the save.- Laddie: After completing the mission, the wrap up speech can sometimes appear robotic.
- Laddie: Mission objective can sometime appear in code, rather than descriptive text.
- Things Fall Apart: If Wrench uses Captain Boom Boom, it sometimes does not have an effect on the enemy.
- Aiden’s hands sometimes clips through his coat when opening the weapon wheel or Photomode.
- Wrench’s Ninja Balls sometimes explode too early and have no effect on an enemy if thrown from a distance.
- Wrench using Captain Boom Boom sometimes triggers a cooldown for other abilities.
- Wrench’s Lady Smash ability will become permanently grayed out, but can still be used, if hitting the ability while the sledgehammer animation is in progress. It will return to normal after switching to another ability and back.
- Online: If Aiden and Wrench are equipped with weapons from other operatives, they will be removed from their loadout when players return to the main menu.
