AC3 The Betrayal of King Washington DLC glitch?

[Jindrik]

So, I'm trying to get the 100% in all the cities done for the king washington dlc, only problem is the convoys in episode 2 doesnt seem to have any prisoners to free once you get rid of the guards, and I cant open the cages either.
Sometimes I can see the prisoners all bunched up outside the 2 cages all together on the ground but cant interact with any of it, and it kill me on the inside cause its the last thing I need to do to get 100%, now I've still not started episode 3 yet and I've read that same glitch appears there as well..
I've looked throught on the internet and only post I've found about this is some guy having the issue 2 years ago, all he did was leave? And return? I don't know what he means by that all I know is if I go too far (like 100m) the convoy despawns, and I've tried leaveing (but staying within 100m range) and returning only to find the cages still empty. So far I've seen 8 convoys (8 pairs cause they always come in 2) and none of them had any prisoners, and only 2 of those times I saw the prisoners close to the cages and the leave/return tactic didnt work here either?
So I'm wondering if anyone else has had this issue and maybe managed to solve it somehow?
Also would be cool to play MP to get those achievements if anyone interested

Funny enough, once I've finished this post I've returned to the game only so I could start episode 3 (was still in boston) and guess what, a ♥♥♥♥ing convoy with prisoners actually appeared?
What sort of black sorcery is this!
But unfortinetly the Glitch still remains cause the very next convoy was empty

Alright I figured a way to get this done, first of you gotta be lucky to find a convoy thats not glitched, then all I did was rescue the prisoners, I went to another location where a convoy spawns (the empty one), I just left that convoy and went back to the "woking" convoy location. There seem to be fixed convoy loaction spawns.
I'm not sure if it really has to be done that way, but it worked for me.

Hey there! I'm glad you managed to get this to work eventually. Hopefully if someone else encounters this issue, they'll find this thread. Thanks a lot for posting it!

Hi
I'm facing the same problem, with the remasterd edition.
Only one convoy in four or five has prisoners.
Really annoying

Hey nospam3131!
Do you still face this problem after verifying the game files in Steam?[ubi.li]

For those who still have this problem:
I just let guards kill me near the convoy. When I respawned- convoy spawned just near me and it was with prisoners. And I rescued them successfully.
Then I found nearest enemy and let them kill me again not far from where convoy was. And again I respawned near full convoy. And did it four times)

Slight necro - but the real answer here is: Disable WeMod or whatever other cheat (or maybe totally legit Aniums Hack?) that makes you undetectable. Do that, and the DLC prisoner carts and the normal lootable cart can be interacted with. If you have a cheat enabled, they can't "see" you and you can't loot them. (BTW, no hate on cheats: play how you want, it's your game so have fun!)

In fact, this glitch exists in the ACIII OG, and I encountered the same problem when playing Remastered on Xbox One. This is not caused by any mods or cheats, but by Ubisoft's poor programming skills.

Anyone is able to play Episode 1 The Infamy? Only episodes 2 and 3 are available to me. I don't even know if the Benedict Arnold DLC will work since I still don't get to that sequence.

This problem still hasn't been resolved. This and the AC4 DLC being unavailable after paying for it have convinced me to never buy another Ubisoft game again

The last update removed some essential data files that break the King Washington DLC and any saves associated with it.

Placing these missing files in your installation folder fixes it.

Ubisoft is aware of this, but refuses to fix it. Perhaps to get people to buy the remaster.
