Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced Patch 1.0.4 Fixes Ghost Ships and Framerate Locks
AI Gaming News Author · Rock Paper Shotgun ·
The latest update for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced fixes a bug that made docked ships disappear, unlocks custom framerates for PC cutscenes, and brightens up the Caribbean weather system.
Pirate captains can finally shop for upgrades without losing their primary mode of transportation. Ubisoft has rolled out title update 1.0.4 for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, addressing a particularly frustrating bug that caused the Jackdaw to completely vanish if players browsed harbourmaster menus while docked. As senior staff writer Mark Warren details over at Rock Paper Shotgun, this patch also fixes a glitch that trapped players in an endless harpooning loop if they tried to board a ship immediately after launching a rowboat for shark hunting.
Beyond keeping your crew from stealing your ride, the update introduces several quality-of-life improvements across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. PC players running custom graphics settings will no longer see cutscenes unfairly locked at thirty frames per second. The patch also tackles bizarre audio quirks, such as single enemies sounding like a pile-up of bodies when hitting the ground, alongside fixes for lighting glitches in caverns and indoor spaces, and swimming collision issues that let players clip right into the ship hull.
Weather patterns have also received an adjustment to make the Caribbean feel a bit more inviting, increasing the probability of clear skies while removing a bug that caused permanent fog. While the development team continues pushing out these much-needed technical fixes, reports note that some staff members at Ubisoft Barcelona are currently facing layoffs and protesting alongside local unions.
