I won’t lie, Assassin’s Creed III is amazing and buggy. Those two words don’t normally mesh and in order to take the buggy part out of the equation, Ubisoft has released a patch that fixes a bunch of stuff today!
Single Player
Global Fixes
– Couriers will now appear more often in Boston and New York
– Fixed a bug where consumables would not be restored properly after playing a naval mission
– Fixed a bug where multiple copies of heralds or paper boys could be spawned at the same spot
– Fixed a bug where printer shops icons could appear on the map even if the player is not notorious
– Fixed a bug where the 2nd equipped pistol could disappear after a loading
– Fixed a bug where the player could fall through the map if he went through a city gate on horseback while in conflict
– Fixed a crash when the player uses the rope dart on a horse from above
– Fixed horse glitch
– Fixed inventory messages that kept being displayed after every reload if the player had completed some missions
– Fixed various crashes
– Forced subtitles to be displayed for off-camera voices like some tutorials and end of sequence transitions
– Made sure to stop tavern music when exiting taverns
SEQUENCE 1 – A DEADLY PERFORMANCE: fixed a music glitch by making a cinematic not skippable
SEQUENCE 4 – FEATHERS AND TREES : fixed another case where optional objective “Do not touch the ground or water” could fail for no good reason
SEQUENCE 6 – ON JOHNSON’S TRAIL: fixed a bug where sometimes Adams and Revere could be missing, preventing the player from starting the mission
SEQUENCE 7 – LEXINGTON AND CONCORD: fixed a bug where the player could stay stuck on the road while on horseback at a specific spot on the mission’s path
EPILOGUE – Fixed Animus Synching gameplay that could get stuck
Side Quests
– Boston Brawlers: clearer message after beating all ex-champions, stating that you need to go back to Boston
– Boston Underground: fixed a bug where exploded barrels could come back if you re-entered through the South Commons entrance.
– Boston Underground: fixed a bug where Haytham could never use the North Port entrance
– Liberation Missions: added unfogging of the map when the player gets near a liberation event, to make sure the icon will be revealed in case the player doesn’t complete it and wants to come back later.
– New York Liberation Missions: fixed a few cases where the player could get to the event’s icon but nothing would happen.
– New York Underground, fixed a bug where the player would be teleported at the center of New York if he declined to enter the underground through the South Market entrance.
