The next patch is sorely needed.

[Darren Evans]

Ubisoft is taking its sweet time with a meaningfully-sized patch after the small Hotfix for this game to fix the following bugs:

* Weapon part customisation often results in swords and Tantos with missing Saya when you have the weapon sheathed on your back, just showing the bare blade.

* Stealth assassinating an opponent occasionally results in the opponent not being killed, leaving the opponent just standing there or, if assassinated while lying down, suddenly standing up without weapon and standing there doing nothing.

* Pressing a key to talk to an NPC often doesn't do anything and you have to save and reload to fix this.

* Exclamation mark in Inventory always showing despite going through Yasuke and Naoe items to check for new gear and seeing nothing.

* Some League members not showing up at Hideout. Yaya and Yagoro tend to be missing.

Quality of life irritations

* Inability to disable Tutorial messages despite the HUD customisation features.

* Cut scenes locked to 30 fps. Not cool.

* Merchants with duplicate items to buy for Hideout in their inventory and also showing items for sale you already have.

* In a castle as Naoe and you come across something only Yasuke can move but you are prevented from switching character because of gameplay 'context'. NOT cool and only introduces frustration.

* Some quest require night time visits but there's no way to wait for day or night time. Dumb design.

* Can only sell things one at a time instead of being able to mark things for sale. Even the selling process involves a slow, tedious and unnecessary animation and notification animation.

Patches don't typically come out this fast, a patch will probably come mid-late month.

You may be right. I'd say on average, PC game patches tend to average around 2 to 4 weeks after release, some often with a significant day one update. Hopefully we get something next week.

Apart from the cutscene lock if that's our patch 1 critical issue wishlist, game released in a pretty good spot tbh

needing to kill a dude twice is pretty funny though

Yeah, there's at least a few skills and engravings that seem not to work or at least not work reliably, like the "throw kunai after assassination" and "Hand of the Creed" (which is supposed to prevent enemies catching your hidden blade except they sometimes still do).

The throw kunai one I'd really like them to fix because it's a nice alternative to needing Tanto equipped for double assassinate. Or they could just get rid of that stupid requirement for double assassinate. That would work for me too.

I hope not a bug. I can't stand Yaya - so, good she is not there ^^

Fox spawns needs to be fixed. 100+ hours in I seen 2 foxes throughout the entire game. There are a boatload of deer though. The deer spawns should be cut down by 75% and replaced with Foxes.

You're right. I have that skill but never noticed it stopped working. The Shurikan throw from High Vault skill in Shinobi tree works a treat though.

Everyone else shows but not Yaya and she's a big girl and not exactly hard to miss!

Deer on the roads are way too numerous. Good job you can't kill them when you hit them or there'd be a lot of corpses for the game to keep despawning.

Flashbacks to AC3 where entire animal populations went extinct because I need to upgrade my toolbelt

The throw kunai engraving sometimes works. Can't figure out when or why. I've assassinated people standing right next to each other and not gotten it to work. Other times I've had it toss the kunai at someone I didn't even see behind me. So it's got nothing to do with which way the camera is pointing either.

As for the Hand of the Creed, it's possible there's still supposed to be situations where assassination will fail. After getting the perk, the only time I see it fail is when someone approaches your hiding spot with a raised weapon. Usually they only do this after they've already previously been alerted to your presence in the area. So that might also be intended. Not sure. Game doesn't say.

LOL. Just saw the post on Steam today that announces title update 1.02 will drop tomorrow, April 8th.

Throw kunai engraving is a "tricky one". Seems too helps if you are facing the 2nd enemy, but yeah she also throws at someone behind. It's also not 'instant', can take a few before Naoe throws.
Really wonder what the trigger really is.

[Gitaroo]

the stutter when looting or opening door need to be fixed. Wasn't there on launch day.

[Marvin]

of course they wont fix the 30 fps cutscene lock, such a joke.
