Full Patch Notes for Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced Update 1.0.4

3 Comments

Ubisoft will release Title Update 1.0.4 for Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced later today and has shared its full patch notes. So, let’s see what this first patch brings to the table.

Patch 1.0.4 improves overall performance and stability. Ubisoft did not go into more details about these improvements. My guess is that the game will run similarly to the launch version. After all, we’ve seen such notes in pretty much all the patches that Ubisoft has released for its games.

Update 1.0.4 will also fix the 30FPS cut-scenes bug. As such, PC gamers will now be able to use Custom settings and fully max out the game. Plus, the devs have fixed multiple lighting issues when players are indoors or in caverns.

Patch 1.0.4 also comes with some gameplay fixes. For instance, it fixes issues where players could clip into the ship’s hull while swimming. It also fixes an issue where players are locked out when attempting to move immediately after exiting a mini-game. Furthermore, it fixes an issue where players were unable to dodge the fatal Humpback Whale’s Tail slap during Harpooning. It’s also worth noting that civilians will no longer be entering Brawl zones.

And that’s not all. Update 1.0.4 will correct texture issues on some side characters. It will fix the issue where the weather would never become foggy, as well as floating bushes by grounding them to the world. In addition, the devs have fixed various issues where players are able to reach locations they shouldn’t be able to access.

Steam and Ubisoft Connect will download this patch once it becomes available. According to the team, the update will be available at 14:00 UTC / 10:00 AM EST / 7:00 AM PST. Below, you can also find its full patch notes.
