Now Assassin’s Creed III Gets A Huge Day One Patch

Last week Medal Of Honor: Warfighter received a huge ‘Day One’ patch that fixed, well, pretty much everything. Rumours from Eurogamer suggested that publishers could get Sony and Microsoft to certify a game that would otherwise fail their quality checks if there was a day one patch.

“Microsoft & Sony will give you a waiver if you promise to have the Day 0 patch, ask nicely, are a big game, and pay a little,” said BioWare employee Manveer Heir on Twitter.

Hey, look, Assassin’s Creed III has a ginormous day one patch! What are the chances of that?

We will not list all of the patch notes because they contain spoilers, but here are a few choice fixes:

• Mission “BRIDEWELL PRISON”, Player could remain stuck prison cells
• Mission “SOMETHING TO REMEMBER”, fixed a bug where the screen could become all white or black for the remainder of the mission if the player set his brightness option to anything else than the default value
•  Mission “FEATHERS AND TREES” – Mission would not continue if the player doesn’t follow the expected path
• Fixed various occurrences of missing sounds
• Camera could remain stuck after the player being respawned

Ubisoft highly recommend gamers download the patch ‘to optimise your player experience’.

The bad news is that the patch notes given by Ubisoft seem to indicate that all of the fixes are for the single player campaign. Anyone without an Internet connection is once again going to be paying out for a game with plenty of bugs.  Sorry, I mean a game that is not ‘optimised for your player experience’.
