Outgunned Bug

[arw3n3v3nstar.s]

Every time I try to run the Outgunned mission, where you destroy Leonardo's machine gun, I'm unable to blow up the powder kegs behind it, even though I can select them. I've tried throwing knives, using a crossbow, shooting it with the gun (which is the way you're supposed to do it I think), and getting up really close to see if it's a manual trigger. I've also tried restarting the sequence, restarting the game (like from Steam, not playing the whole game over), restarting Steam and Ubisoft, and checking for missing files. The game seems fine aside from this one mission, which I'm pretty sure I need to complete. Any help would be great.

The only info I could find was this: https://forums.ubisoft.com/showthread.php/761664-Bug-in-Outgunned-mission-(Assassin-s-Creed-Brotherhood)

Hi there arw3n3v3nstar.s.

Sorry to hear you've encountered this issue with the powder kegs in the 'Outgunned' mission.

To clarify, are you referring to the first portion of this mission, just after finding the blueprints, and before the chase? You should be able to 'Interact' with these kegs once you've got close enough.

If you're still unable to interact with them, would you be able to share a clip with us so that we can see exactly what's happening? You can upload this clip to a video/file sharing site like YouTube or Google Drive, and post the link in your reply to share the video with us.

Many thanks.

Yes, that's what I'm referring to- I will try interacting with them again and get back to you!

Hey again! I'm sorry I took so long in responding- I tried to start the game over in a different save to see if that would fix the issue, but I ran into the same problem. This is my little playthrough: https://youtu.be/lgKjN_NATuo I was having some trouble posting it to my Steam account, so sorry for the detour. I can't tell if I'm missing something in the mission, or if I was supposed to complete something in advance.

also sorry for all the background noise- i didn't realize my mic was enabled :/

Hello arw3n3v3nstar.s, thanks for the reply and video.

This issue is known to us but was previously found to be caused by a corrupted game file that could be fixed by verifying the file using the launcher options.

As this has not worked for you, can you please try backing up your save file, then doing a complete reinstall of the game, to check if this can fix any corrupted or missing files that verifying missed?

In addition to this, as the game is one of our older titles, could you please find the games .exe file in the folder where you installed the game, open its Properties and Run it using the Windows Compatability Mode option, for each older version of Windows OS.

Please make sure to disable full-screen optimization in these settings too. This will emulate an older version of Windows the game was originally released for and maybe better at running the game and prevent these issues from occurring >

Dude. You need to look at the mini map in your video there pal. You can't blow them up until you've gone the the marker which is destroying the blueprints. THEN you go over and blow the barrels. Its not a bug.
