New Assassin's Creed III Patch Has Over 100 Fixes

Assassin's Creed III can be a bit...buggy from time to time. Ubisoft has thankfully recognized this and is releasing a new patch at the end of next week that offers many, many fixes. The entire list of patch notes includes over 100 fixes total. You can head over to the full list found on Ubisoft's forums here.

Note: the patch notes contain some spoilers.

I've posted a few of my favorites below:

- Fixed possible mission break if the player shoots the horse he's supposed to ride.

- Players could be stuck in the opera if they backtracked in a certain way after killing the target.

- Fixed a bug where the guard you're supposed to kill would not reappear if the player starts fighting him and then runs away.

- Fixed the issue where the bear could flee and eventually freeze.

Comments
  • Always love me a fixing patch.

  • Nice! Maybe I'll play Halo 4 and BlOps 2 until this patch comes out.
  • hopefully they put in a fix so they actually use whatever outfit you're wearing during cutscenes instead of the regular assassins white and blue
  • Mod

    Wow those are some pretty serious issues. Glad they're getting patched, and hopefully before I reach them. ;)

  • Tempting, but I just haven't had the urge to throw it back in the system after clearing it. Which is odd for me, I always replay. I'm thinking of swapping it towards Far Cry 3 while the bonus credit is still good.
  • Good thing they are attending to the bugs quickly. Although, I haven't seen any bugs while watching my friend play it on the PS3. Despite that, it is a good thing they will have this patch up so it can prevent them from occurring anyways and anymore.

  • There were that many issues? Wow. Didn't seem like I ran across one. Which can only mean... I AM INVINCIBLE!?!? **Strips naked and runs into traffic**

  • Stupid double post. I will dedicate this spot, to all of the unsung heroes fighting in the Canadian War against the polar bears. May your maple bombs be swift and mighty.
  • Hopefully this patch is good to go for the PC release next week as well

  • Coolbeans

  • The only glitch I've had was a cane floating out over some water about 25 feet in the air. Glad Ubi is fixing this but I haven't had any real problems with it. Hopefully this helps those who have.
    edit: The more comments I see the more I believe these glitches are extremely rare. I haven't seen any evidence for these glitches yet but maybe I'll youtube it and see.
  • Good, now maybe I won't fall through the forts anymore.

  • Patches define a game in my standpoint. If a developing company doesn't offer patches they must assume that the game is perfect. * arrogance at its best *
  • Nice to see they could get so many issues fixed within the first month. Just curious, anyone else come across an unfinished room in the tunnels of Boston? Like, with walls missing and all that sort of thing?
  • YESSS!! I need this cuz the last misson in sequence 4 I can avoid the collisions but then towards the end the screen goes blank so it makes me crash like 4 times, and for a delivery mission I'm "missing" venison... even though I have venison but the game won't recognize that. Those are the only 2 missions left till i get %100 synch
  • YESSS!!

  • It's over 100!!!!

    Nope. Not quite the same. Always love me some bug fixes.

  • Sweet, by the time I play ACIII on Wii U these issues are likely to be resolved. Not sure they would have caused much issue to begin with if I were to have picked it up on another console mind you, many people have reviewed/played the game with only minor grips about glitches.

  • I'm so glad to see they fixed the Encyclopedia of the Common Man glitch. That was the only bug that was...bugging me. Man, I finally completed all the chase sequences at 100% sync, and they went and adjusted the difficulty. ^^;

    Anyway, thanks, Ubisoft! Here's my $30 for the DLC season pass.
  • hopefully the Wii U version is fixed. If not I hope the update later next week is for the Wii U as well

    **Update** It will be for the Wii U on Day 1!!!
