“Connection with over 100 friends”
Does that mean Uplay will finally work now they’ve upped their silly friend limit?
Erroneus
I really really hope so. They have known about this problem since day one and it’s been keeping me from playing the game.
Finally! :)

That’s a lot of fixes and one hefty sized patch. Sign of things to come? Hours of patching for people with 2mb connection.
Taylor Made

I noticed the patch last night, sorry i didn’t delete the game beforehand as i never played very much of it.

Cracking news. I’ve not been able to continue my game (on the PC) so hopefully this new patch will sort it out. Roll on, Feb 4th! :-)

I’ve noticed in the last couple of days AS has been freezing for a split second, hopefully this will fix it.

“Change Fight Balance to increase double attacks”
Is this that thing that was in AC3 where two people would attack at once and there would be a cinematic double kill thing if you hit counter in time? I’ve played this game to 100% completion over the past week and I’ve just realised that didn’t happen to me at all. Not even once.
