The annoying “Chapter 11″ glitch in Assassins Creed 2 will be patched today for those of you with Playstations. You may recall we reported this bug a few days ago and Ubisoft have responded:

Thanks to the feedback you provided the developers were able to quickly fix some of the issues that would prevent some of you from fully enjoying the game. The patch will be released today on Playstation 3 and on December 11th for the Xbox 360. The bugs fixed:

Glyph
After the player has resolved a glyph (when the unlock code message appears), if the player presses A and B (for 360, X and O on PS3) repeatedly and quickly, the video will appear in full screen, and he will get stuck in “the truth menu”.
Fast Travel
Some feedback states that Ezio loses the ability to interact with the fast travel stations.
Free roaming/Parkour
In extremely rare occasions a bug allows Ezio to walk on air.
Auditore Cape
When first equipping or re-equipping the Auditore cape, users in the Villa become notorious even if the cape description says otherwise.
Altaïr’s armour
While wearing Altair’s armour the game crashes when performing multiple consecutive double assassinations.
Toscana
The game occasionally crashes if the player dies in Toscana, the player is stuck in the animus loading screen.
Water
Ezio and NPCs may get stuck beneath map if pushed in water.
Animus Loading Screen
There were reports of the game crashing while the player is in the Animus loading screen
Sequence 05 Mission 01
The game froze after completing the mission and following certain steps.
Sequence 06 Mission 02
An extremely rare issue could make the game freeze while Ezio is fighting the guards.
Sequence 07 Mission 02
Sometimes the civilians knocked down by Rosa could “float”.
Sequence 07 Mission 07
When the user is in an open conflict, under specific situations the game crashed.
Sequence 08 “Venezia”
If a player desynchronises during the flying machine sequence, the player sometimes spawned near Leo’s workshop and not on the tower.
Secret Location: “Vizitatione”
The user remains stuck after locking onto the agile guard with the gun.
Sequence 11 Mission 05
The user cannot continue gameplay after quitting and loading the game. They are stuck in the hideout.
Sequence 14 Mission 02
The user falls through the texture if he is hit with rocks by the guards while climbing

Remember when you bought a game and it worked? Ah those were the days…

    Yeah, I posted this in the forums yesterday. I didn’t get the credit for it though, because Tuffcub’s a bit slow with the news…

    Nor me, completed it just after the patch yesterday afternoon too so I suppose I would never know if I would have glitched but Ive had none of the others either.

Chapter 11? Does this mean Ezio couldn’t pay off Da Vinci?

This is the second patch that has been released on PS3 first. Seems at odds to the statements from developers saying that programming generally for the PS3 is harder

That said it might be easier to program for when you have the base game already done

  I don’t think its got anything to do with that. I think its more along the lines of when Sony and Microsoft can be bothered to review the patch etc.

I had a glitch when I was trying to get the ‘No Hitter’ trophy. I was throwing down a smoke bomb and then trying to assassinate the guards caught in the smoke, but after I’d killed 2 or 3 of them it kept freezing! Tried it in several locations and it kept doing the same. Anyone else have that problem? Anyway, I ended up doing it the hard way!

  Ah, just read the Altair’s armour glitch, seems that would have been the problem!!

Finally, I can get No Hitter without a game crash.

I finished the game yesterday, and apart from a couple of seemingly random crashes, I wasn’t affected by any of those issues I’m pleased to say!! Good to see Ubisoft get a patch out quickly though.

BTW, I’m really looking forward to the DLC that’s coming in Jan/Feb.
