C'est par l'intermédiaire de ses forums qu'Ubisoft vient d'annoncer l'arrivée prochaine d'un gros patch pour Assassin's Creed III visant à corriger de nombreux bugs, aussi bien en solo qu'en multi. Ci-dessous, vous aurrez même le détail point par point (en anglais) de cette mise à jour, qui interviendra avant Noël, promet-on... mais sans date précise.

Ah et attention quand même aux spoilers contenus dans les lignes qui suivent !

  • 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.

Homestead

  • Added map icons on Homestead buildings as you unlock new settlers
  • Made sure Achilles cannot be stoking the fireplace after the homestead story arc is completed
  • THE PROPER TOOLS: added map icons on all shops in New York when that mission asks the player to go buy the hammer parts for the blacksmith
