Kenways Fleet Not Loading
Ive noticed that everyone is talking about the new update which forces us to play in windowed mode is an issue, but has anyone been able to load up Kenways Fleet? I got to the mission where I'm supposed to open the fleet map but its just stuck on a loading screen? Is anyone else having this issue?? Is there a fix for it?

U can actually deinstall and reinstall the game, so u can at least continue the story, but it still doesent fix kenways fleet.

And almost assuredly that you didn't bothered to actually reading the thread before posting this incorrect statement, right? :baa:

Even though I play "Solo" I downloaded and installed "Ubisoft Connect", logged in and made sure it was running. I still have to log in again when the game loads.

Re-downloaded https://www.nexusmods.com/assassinscreedivblackflag/mods/426, installed per directions. Now Kenway's Fleet loads properly.

The Internet Icon in the lower bottom left of the screen is now illuminated.

The fleet works as advertised for me now. :steamhappy:
absolutely does indeed work

Hi folks, first of all, using the "mod" fixed the issue and is working like a charm.

I rarely reply in this community but as this fix solved my problem I would like to broadcast that this is a fix for this issue.

Everyone has said how easy it is to do, and I agree that the steps are for the novice as well. What context I can add to this, was my concern of downloading and using someone's random file on my host. What this seems to be, is just a previous "real" published Ubisoft file, but a "previous" version. So this is just a way to "downgrade" to a working version.

This is the "previous" version downloaded in the mod (one can download it via virustotal as well) but it is signed by Ubisoft, and was first observed 2018

The signature is old outdated, but the file (this hash) was first seen in"The Wild" while the signature was valid, so should be fine

Where as the file I am replacing (while writing this post) was this version

Did you make sure to add ".exe" to the end of the mod file? It has to replace the game's default AC4BFSP.exe file. I used this a few days ago and it worked perfectly (you may have to interact with the table enough to where you can start sending ships on missions, then you can swap back to the original .exe, or another one, like the FPS Cap remover mod that I'm using now).

Why must we download mods to make Kenway Fleet work... What Lazy Devs & very Greedy game owners. Why release new games when old does not even function well... Who wants to buy a dis-functional brand of games????

You clearly haven't read the whole thread nor when this (purposedly inserted obsolescence) issue was made by an Ubi$oft Connect so called 'update' aroundd the last year's 4th July or so date. :steamthumbsdown:

So, I strongly advise you to actually read into things before making your own wild assumptions and post those. Just a tiny bit piece of advice or eventually even food for thought. :baa:

This just downloaded a media player file for me that doesn't work on media player. What am I doing wrong or is there something else I can do?

1. Go to this link and download the RAR file:
https://www.nexusmods.com/assassinscreedivblackflag/mods/426?tab=files&file_id=718
2. Open the RAR file and copy the "AC4BFSP" file to your desktop.
3. Rename it to AC4BFSP.exe
4. Copy this file into Steam's install path for Black Flag, overwriting the original file (you can copy the original file to back it up if you want):
\Steam\steamapps\common\Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag
5. You should now be able to advance the Fleet quest line.

Optional: After you get to the mission list for the fleet, you don't need that modified .exe file anymore, so you can either delete it and restore your original .exe (if you copied it, or if you verify your game files).
